| A first visit to this B&P establishment over the yuletide period. A relaxing hour spent in a benign environment drinking good quality Rhode Island Red ale from Brimstage brewery - at a price! founddrunkinyourgarden - 26 Jan 2016 16:57 |
| Following visits to the re-opened Yew Tree at Spurstow and the Nag's Head in Bunbury (neither listed on the site), we arrived at the Dysart Arms to find an extremely busy car park, with a pub that was less than full. This is another Brunning & Price pub that is situated overlooking the beautiful village church. The reason the car park was so full became apparent when the local hoy polloy and their young charges came flooding out of the church after a Christmas service. The pub suddenly became swamped with out of control children, along with a few more well behaved ones. I don't mind the latter, but having kids run amok when there are people eating and drinking is never a good idea. The pheasant I was enjoying suddenly didn't quite taste as good. Beer wise, they had Brunning & Price Original, Weetwood Best, York Guzzler, Youngs Christmas Gold & Batemans Miss Lapland. I can't blame pubcos for diversifying into the food and family market with the government's continued tax on alcohol. In many instances, this is the only way many pubs can survive. But perversely, the government's efforts are making some pubs a little like playgrounds and encouraging children to feel at home in a pub environment. I doubt this was their desired effect when taxing alcohol. Nevertheless, this is a good pub in a lovely village. The emphasis is definitely on food. But you won't feel out of place if you do want to go in just to drink. For a more traditional pub, try the Nag's Head up the road. For a meal, come here. blue_scrumpy - 26 Dec 2011 17:54 |
| Great pub, would echo earlier comments about warm welcome, nice location and great beer. 4 ales on, we tried the Triumph Spitfire which I'd not had before but will certainly look out for again in the future. On the down side �3.40/pint, but this was partially compensated by the generous glasses of nuts! bike2beer - 21 Nov 2011 12:19 |
| The best pub in the immediate area, as an all-rounder. Friendly, even to just casual drinkers. Like most village pubs these days, the Dysart relies on its restaurant to make ends meet; unlike some in the area, it's not unfriendly to the drinker. There are multiple ales on at any one time, and the choice is changed regularly. The bar area is dog-friendly, and has a roaring fire in colder weather; I'd sooner walk 2 miles here than go to my "local". The restaurant is also very good; imaginative food at decent prices, ranging from simple pies to the heights of haute cuisine. Once a year, there is a Pie Festival that lasts a week, with a variety of pies and beers to go with them. The restaurant area is also very pleasant, with a variety of places to sit (some in the "library") and also tables outside in the warmer months. The only downside is the limited parking.

| Food quality excellent but quantity a little light and hardly charged at a pub price. But then this is really a restaurant. Beer range and quality ok but all our three rounds had to be requested to be topped up. Staff seem just a bit idle � not around to clear away the plates after the food and more interested in larking around within sight and hearing of the customers. Alan_br12df - 13 Jun 2011 15:37 |
