| Current name is "Goldies" named after the wine, spirit, ale & porter merchants that used to be here over 100 years ago. In some ways, it still feels like a small shop with a bar rather than a pub. The room to the left has a modern stone floor whereas the room to the right is bare-boarded and more like a working man's club. My Ringwood Best was average; Hobgoblin Gold, Youngs London Special and Courage Directors made up the range of national beers. Landlord was constantly busy, collecting glasses, tidying up etc. which I thought was a good sign. paul_d102 - 16 Jun 2022 18:36 |
| Friendly place with a good selection of beers. It was fairly crowded when we visited at around 6.30 on a Friday. Turns out that this is 'happy hour' and they hold a free meat draw at 7! A lot quieter after 7 as many people seemed to be there just for the draw and then went home. A nice pub and good beer - our favourite in Dorchester, from the few we visited.

| Nipped in for a quick pint on the way past. Much improved since my last visit. Excellent range of beers. My pint of hobgoblin was first rate. Keep it up! steamraiser2 - 6 Jun 2015 20:40 |
| Decent, in a slightly rundown kind of way. Housed in a vast and beautiful building which stretches out far with some kind of former barn contraption out back. The (Marston's) beer was pretty clean. plymouthpirate - 23 Jun 2014 09:46 |
| Could do with turning its music down but ok. No idea why the waste loads of sittinmg space with a indoor skittles pitch? loveleedshatebates - 7 Apr 2012 20:50 |
