Drift, Poole

Small, friendly, cacker-free bar. Live music at the weekend and a weekly quiz.

The landlord's taste in music is questionable, but it's a minor thing.

Excellent choice of real cask and keg ale.

The Rising Sun, Wimborne

Its changed hands recently, with the landlords from the Albion in Wimborne taking over.

They are gamely attempting to improve the place, especially food wise: you know the score, sanries and bar snacks served on artisian wooden handled plates.

They do seem to be in constant arguments with various people: an aocoholic local worthy, the folk committee, punters having a go at their hound deficating in the garden.

The food I've had has been OK. Beer (Tanglefoot) is excellent.

The bar is full of local foul-mouthed cackers, especially on a Saturday afternoon. One charmer plonks his internet Asian bride on a sofa with a drink and an iPad, and slinks off with his gobby mates, making all the thick cacker comments you would expect from Dorset inbreds.

But I still go there. Beer is OK and I'm left on my own.

Darbys Corner Inn, Broadstone

Yet another victim of TMYNS! The "Pub Killer"!
