The Dolphin, Blandford Forum

Love this pub, landlord is always friendly and the atmosphere is top-quality. Food's always been cracking and served up in generous amounts. A really down to earth and friendly pub with great beer. It can get a bit packed at weekends though.

The Cock Inn, Brent Eleigh

Arrived here on a cold but sunny Monday lunchtime in October. We didn't know what to expect - most of the pubs round about were closed for the day. The pub was completely empty save for us. Beautiful beers and the food, which looked basic on the menu, was all freshly prepared and made with really top-quality ingredients. Instantly fell in love with the place, which has a fantastic time capsule feel. The youngish landlord and family are doing a great job and are obviously working very hard to boot. I can't wait to revisit this pub in what is, let's face it, a lovely part of the world. 10/10
