Museum Inn, Farnham

Food as improved dramtically recently, since head chef Paddy took over. Love this place, always assured to have the best meal, with good wine and good beer.

However service is slack and front of house dont seem to know what they are doing half the time.

all in all worth a visit for the food, but nothing else.

The Compasses Inn, Salisbury

Love this pub!!!

Dont get to go as often as i would like, as i am from wimborne area, but this is my idea of a top pub. does everything its sposed to do, create atmosphere, fantastic food, and great beer and wine.

Went there for a big meal before my brothers wedding, we got looked after fantastically, was a tuesdasy night and still was packed.

I would suggest you all take a look, its a little hard to find, but once you get ther you have reached pub perfection.

Drovers Inn, Gussage all Saints

You arrogant c$%k!!



Read your user description, I cannot believe anyone would be so pompous to write that about themselves.



I wrote one of the previous reviews and you should believe it!! We eat at The Drovers regularly and we also would count ourselves as locals to the bar.

The Drovers IS NOT A RESTAURANT. It is however a bloody good pub which upholds traditional values, and serves very good and very local food.

The only time I have had a cold plate is when it has a salad on it (fair enough who wants cooked lettuce).

The wine has gone up in price over the last three years, so has food so has beer come to that. But it�s gone up in price everywhere do they not have inflation �In The Forest�?



We are very proud of our local. Jason, Jo & Staff work so hard to make everything as good as they possibly can, I should imagine that they find the odd rude comments on this site soul destroying! In an area and economic climate where pubs change hands (OR CLOSE) all too often perhaps we should be supporting the ones that have stood the test of time, where the landlords are villagers not just locals, and before we carelessly run them into the ground behind their backs on sites such as this, we should think of the impact that we could have on their business (which is generally their home and their children�s home!)



Please remember this site is called �Beer In The Evening� not �Run A Pub Into The Ground�. If you can�t say anything nice don�t say anything at all.



Jason and Jo are always striving to make The Drovers a great place to be if you have a problem talk to them THEY WILL SORT IT!! I can honestly say that we have a couple here who are passionate and caring about their pub and customers!! (Please don�t listen to other reviews on this site which slag Jo off, I was there that evening and take my hat off to Jo for standing up to the woman who tried to bully her in the middle of her home!)
