I hesitated before writing this review because there's a danger that too many people discover this excellent pub and then it loses something when thousands of people visit.
However, it's a gem that must be shared, so here goes.....
After reading greatsome great reviews on...Tripadvisor, and in the search of somewhere different, we called in here on the off chance of getting a table for two on a Friday night. We were lucky to get the last table, so the key point here is: Make sure you book. For those who don't know Dorset roads, it's a little off teh beaten track, but better for it and well worth the trip out.
The landlord (Ben) is an excellent host and the staff are very friendly, which is always a good sign. Some unusual keg beers amongst a wide selection of all drinks to suit all tastes.
Olives with Feta and Bruscetta with Goats cheese to start. Burger and chips for one main sounds like your average pub food but the quality and taste were amazing, especially with beer battered onion rings and red coleslaw. The other main was linguini with mussels, prawns....amazing.
After that, the only option was icecream. A great range to choose from, but being Westcountry folk, it had to include clotted cream - strongky recommended.
All in all, probably one of the best pub meals in a very long time. Calling it pub food is probably not doing the quality and flavours justice but I'd recommend a visit tomorrow.
Brilliant, keep up teh good work.More
