| The best pub I've visited in ages. Joe & Sally are so friendly it's such a surprise in these days of making a quick buck. The meals and good and the menu is varied. Beers were excellent but can't remember the local pint I chose. Parked before opening and was warmly greeted and one of the party was even loaned a hat for our walk. addick - 15 Dec 2018 18:26 |
| Nice pint of Butcombe Original. Harveybest - 23 Dec 2012 20:36 |
| Recent change of Management before Christmas and am concerned to see this Pub slipping away from its very good reputation. Beer is kept well - but it is the service, bon homie, food choice (especially the choice of Specials) that has deteriorated. All is not well there, and you can feel it in the atmosphere. Always received a good welcome and attentiveness from the previous Management and their Staff (all of whom seem to have disappeared), now the Bar is left unattended on the odd occasions I have visited, with too much attention focused on a small clique of locals. Will try again, but won't bother after that if there is no improvement - Shame! fayrecomment - 18 Feb 2011 18:49 |
| Much better after the changes behind the scenes. A lovely village pub, good atmosphere and great quiz nights. theryall - 21 Jan 2009 17:37 |
| The change of management has made a huge difference in my opinion. The menu has been simplified and dispensed with some of the more bizarre concoctions that had crept in. Food is generally good quality although one or two of the pasta dishes on a theme night we went to were pretty average. Specials menu changes regularly while the wine list has been simplified and reflects a more worldly palate. There are also 3-4 good quality local ales - Piddle, Ringwood, Butcombe and one other when last we went. Very welcoming landlord/lady and staff are attentive without bothering you. Everything a good village pub should be in my opinion. dorsetpubmeister - 17 Nov 2008 17:23 |
