| Stopped by here on a walk on the Wessex Ridgeway again, and it is still an excellent place (though I can't speak for the food, though the menu looks very good indeed). The beers on were Ringwood and Palmers, with a Purbeck cider (Joe's Dry Cider) that went down a treat. This place has always been worth a detour. I notice that it is now listed in Harden's Guides. I will still give it 8/10 HenPen - 31 Jul 2014 20:20 |
| Came across this pub by chance at a lunchtime - it had some tarpaulin in the thatch roof and seemed to be a traditional country pub that had fallen on hard times. However, when I went inside the pub consisted of tables and chairs and no other customers, I had hoped for a chat with locals in the vicinity of the bar. My pint was most acceptable as was the baguette. The pub also had a restaurant area and the specials menu contained venison and other game. A couple of cyclists appeared later, their tipple was two pints of orange juice. I left disappointed with nothing else to report. Feed - 18 Oct 2012 22:09 |
| An excellent pub in all regards. Friendly welcome, great beers from the barrel (Doom plus a couple of local ales) and top-notch food (not cheap but worth the money). Hopefully it goes to show that a well-run pub can thrive in today's economic climate. thewickingman - 7 Jan 2012 11:29 |
| This place has been on my places to visit list quite sometime. The miniscule hamlet of Plush, with it's thatched roofs and a Dorset pleasure. The Brace of Pheasants turned out to be all it says a quaint very old pub, spotlessly clean. I looked in on the 4 double bed accomodation at the rear, better than some hotels I'd stayed in and, at �90 a night a steal for this area. I sampled the Copper Ale and, the Flaxted Manor both from the barrel and clear as a bell and very tasty. The food is restauarant prices but, then again it's of restaurant quality and, worth every penny. The service by the 3 nice ladies was spot on, doing everything from pulling pints to clearing tables etc. Tables were already booked on my arrival and, a steady stream of clientele appeared untill 1pm when it exploded into almost full capacity the beer garden also. A very pleasing and friendly atmosphere was the order of the day, which made for an excellent day out if your an Aler or Foodie or both like me, you've gotta go here. james55westhead - 1 May 2011 08:42 |
| Really surprised at previous reviews. Eaten here twice recently, both times at the weekend and both times the service and food was fantastic. Great menu, all food fresh and cooked to perfection- great fish and chips. Superb selection of ales and ciders- shame you need a car to get to it. Staff very helpful, but it does get really busy- probably best to book ahead. Big beer garden and accommodation looks nice too. Give it another try- we intend to visit more often. gongapop - 9 Aug 2010 18:03 |
