The Old Thatch, Stapehill

The comments on the pages seem very out of date. I have lived in the area for quite some time and always drive past this beautiful pub. On Friday night my husband and I decided to pay it a visit, and walked down from Ferndown, which took about 15 minutes. The pub is decieving from the road, it's actually quite large, and all of the main seating area is at the back giving a perception of being empty, to my surprise the area was quite full and had a constant flow of people all evening. The food menu is extensive. We decided on two homemade dishes, chilli con carne and bangers and mash, proper grilled bangers and proper mash with veg, the food was great, and the prices were reasonable. The staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was as you would expect in an English pub, buzzing. I would recommend a visit.
