The Horns Inn, Colehill

From strength to strength. The community minded landlady tries very much to involve the local community hosting a number of events. Food is pretty good (my son likes it) beer is Ringwood and ok, but not for me and I remain one of the Guinness drinkers.

The White Hart Inn, Wimborne

Nice pub which feels like a pub should do. Very busy on the Friday nights when I have visited, not tried the food but the beer is good: evern tried a pint of porter (never again). Really nice atmosphere, age range varied would recommend.

The Old Barn Farm, Three Legged Cross

A frequent user of this pub over the years, I despaired on Friday night when finally they lost my custom. A very varied menu, so lets try sole, "off" monkfish "off" mixed grill? "off" we finally settled for steak and a veggie dish for my wife. In fairness, my wife's meal was fine, but mine was appalling, poor service too.

Onto the drink, well we ordered a bottle of Chilean vin de pays, not cheap at �13.00 a bottle and not good value either, neither was the pint of bitter which I struggled to drink as like the wine it was warm and insipid.

At least the staff were friendly and kept on trying to get us to enter the quiz, which when we finally persuaded them that we really didn't want to play, they piped through to us via the loudspeaker system. Fell sad moaning about this pub, but it has slowly gone down the pan and its only hope is that it will pick up in the summer when the grockles come in, otherwise another Dorset pub is likely to close.

Avoid unless you have to go in.
