Cock and Bottle Inn Morden in Purbeck

Amazing place. A real gem. Delicious food and great service. Highly recommend 👌 👍 👏

Perfect example of a proper British pub. Local bar area, large beautiful garden in an idilic village. Staff are attentive, courteous and adaptable. The food is the best I have ever eaten. 👌🏻🇬🇧

What a great pub! We were in the area for the week and this was such a great find. Amazing atmosphere, bar staff were amazingly friendly and very helpful and the food was outstanding. Highly recommend to any one in the area that you make a visit to this pub.

Food was delicious, lovely local just off the beaten track and thank you again for helping us out today we will be back again

Lovely pub with crackin roasts. We had pulled lamb shoulder and beef with Palmer beer. Service was incredible.

Great to see this Pub doing well. We have eaten here several times and the food and service has been fantastic. We have also called in just for a pint and have been made equally welcome. Fantastic Pub.

Great location 😄 friendly old pub 🍻

Lovely Sunday lunch and great service aswell. Good menu for children and puddings were delicious

Excellent service and food and a lovely venue😊😊

Good food especially Sunday lunch which was more than we could eat and that’s saying something. Delicious sweets.

A lovely pub in a rural setting serving a limited, but excellent choice of food. Very well prepared and presented with a smile. The staff are very attentive and polite. 10/10 Thanks!

My wife and I went to the Cock and Bottle 15/03/25. the young girls serving were great. my starter scotch egg was great. it all went down hill after that, I had Mussels 0/10 they were so small they must have been illegal, no decent chef would serve them to customers. my wife had the Wild Mushroom Risotto it was terrible 0/10, it was more like a soup. good luck to anybody wishing to try it .

Really cool place this is. It's a unique pub in that it has some little private spaces where people can sit bit like in a libary. The chairs are very comfy and drinks are not badly price. The place had its own garden and also a pool table. It has a very nice aesthetic appeal and could spend a long time in here

Visited with my parents and partner to celebrate my birthday. In my opinion, the food was wonderful. I had the fillet steak, which was cooked to perfection. My father had the homemade steak & ale pie, which - to quote - “the best I have had in many years”. The girls both enjoyed their meals too.

Very disappointed with the food very bland . Over expensive for the quality of the food definitely not homemade . Won’t be returning .

As a group, we have been coming since December 2024. Lovely food, and it's been consistent. Staff are very good. However, we have only had Sunday roasts.

We have just moved to the village next door and were delighted to discover this fabulous pub’s close. A real fire good beer and a fabulous menu all topped off with great service. We will be back.

Lovely update to this village pub. Lunch with friends in a relaxing setting. The food was very tasty and service impeccable. Will be back.

Sure! Here’s your refined review: We visited The Cock and Bottle at 5:30 pm on a Saturday without a booking. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted and shown to a free table. The atmosphere was inviting, with a charming olde-world pub decor. The big leather sofas looked incredibly cosy, adding to the character of the place. The service was excellent from the start—water was provided, and our drinks order was taken promptly. For food, one of us opted for the tapas from the specials board, selecting four out of six options. Another had the burger, while two of us went for the Moules Frites. We also shared a bread basket and olives. Every dish was packed with flavour, and the quality was outstanding. Smiles spread across our faces with each bite, and there was no food envy—every choice was a winner. The staff were genuinely friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. This place is a hidden gem, and we’ve already recommended it to friends and family. We’ll definitely be back!

Well cooked tasty meals but poor for vegetarians as only two choices a risotto or halloumi burger which would put us off returning too readily

Stopped going there due slow service. Went today, food OK, service still very slow.

Fantastic food and staff lovely setting will definitely be going back.

Great Christmas night out food was delicious and the staff were lovely

Took my wife in for birthday meal, ham and cheddar cheese missing off ciabatta, but on menu, steak ciabatta was actually roast beef, said it was a faulty Xmas menu mix up, got a free coffee as compo, WOW!!!

Lovely food. Staff very friendly and helpful. Pub was warm and cosy will definitely visit again

We have visited the Cock and Bottle for lunch and dinner on numerous occasions since it reopened under new management. It has become our favourite place to eat, we have gone with different friends, who have all loved it. The food is very definitely homemade and so much the better for it. A few weeks ago, we had the best Sunday Roast we've ever had out. The pub is very warm and welcoming, and the staff are lovely. The attention to detail that the new landlords have put into everything shines through. Well worth a visit

Having been for a drink a couple times in the fantastic bar area we decided to take friends there for dinner and had a lovely evening, from the very friendly and smiling staff to the high quality of the food at a very reasonable prices, well worth a visit. ( try the seafood Chowder)

Lovely place, great atmosphere, excellent service 👍

Sunday lunch for 4 with 2 well behaved dogs. Seated at a spacious table adjacent to the bar with plenty of room for the dogs. One of the group required a GF meal which wasn't a problem. Great quality food washed down with local Palmer's beer. Service was attentive but not overbearing. Only negative was the portion size which was definitely on the small side

We came here on the recommendation of the landlord of the World's End pub which is just down the road as they couldn't fit us in. How glad we were when we came here. Lovely pub and the food was just amazing. We will definitely be coming back here in the very near future.

Fantastic place new owners and a great British pub

Very small menu. Fish and chips very disappointing. More batter than fish after asking for lightly battered and too chunky.

Lovely place, gorgeous food, friendly staff. 🥰

Some of the best cooked, presented and served food we have had for a very long time. Something very special is happening in this pub. How we long for this kind of cooking at these prices in a pub in London.

Had a lovely meal here, food was fresh and tasty but could of been hotter, this didn't spoil the meal though. Service was excellent. Hope to visit again if back in the area.

Fantastic Sunday lunch. The roast beef and nut roast were both fab. Friendly service, chilled atmosphere. Perfect!

Really good restaurant quality food and excellent service, would certainly go again

Beautiful country pub, lovely owners and staff. Perfect for food or just a relaxing beer.

Had a great fish and chips here and a drink. Dog friendly and friendly staff. Certainly a place to revisit

We had a superb meal here last night and will definitely visit again. Lovely atmosphere, delicious food and at a good price. Excellent

We had a fantastic meal yesterday at the pub.. Fish with hand cut chips sorry no photos but it was delicious. Our dogs was made welcome by the bar staff. Thank you would definitely call back in when next in the area..

Family friendly, dog friendly awsome staff and a great atmosphere

Nice and quiet, quaint even. A good place for a pint and a chat with your mates 🍺

Sunday roast was good value. Friendly and helpful staff delivered a tasty well presented meal at a reasonable price. Quantity was just about right; not too overwhelming but not small. Booking is recommended.

Party of 5, mix of starters followed by steak for everyone (some rump, some fillet) not all cooked the same, we varied from medium rare to well done, but everyone more than happy with their steak. Only 1 person managed pudding and loved his large portion of apple cake. Our spend was quite high as we also drank quite a lot of beer & wine, but it was worth the money. Great food, service, atmosphere. Friendly pub, lovely and clean. Would highly recommend.

Great food in a beautiful setting with lovely, friendly staff. We will definitely be back.

Excellent refurbished pub.good service.quality food.nice casual atmosphere.

Mum said best batter on her fish and i had beef burger with bacon. Was good

Fantastic local pub with friendly and accommodating staff. The food was beautiful and generous portions. The pub is decorated to a very high standard and has a homely and welcoming atmosphere. We came for an evening meal but I'd asssume lunch time food and service would be just as good! This is definitely going to become our local... can't wait to try the Sunday roast!

What a fantastic place! We were here on Friday (9th August, 4 of us) and had the best the best meal we've had in a long time! We had starters of holumi, ham hock and mixed olives which were all beautifully presented and flavoursome. Our mains were, Burgers for 3 of us and the fish and chips. The burgers were succulent and delicious and my husbands fish was in a gorgeous light, crispy batter with fat chips, peas and mini onions which he demolished in minutes 😋 The service was perfect and we finished off our evening, sitting outside with our drinks under the trees lite with fairy lights. A perfect ending to a lovely evening 😊 I would highly recommend you go for a meal here but book ahead as they are very popular and with good reason!! We will definitely be back again xx

Didn't eat this time but food looked amazing. Great pub

Great food, good ale, great pub would recommend it for a family meal or a meal with your mates. The service was very friendly and they were very polite

Good food very pleasant staff an all round good experience.would definitely recommend

Looks nice, we arrived just before 8, it said online that they served food until 9. It was a complete lie and they wasted a lot of our time. We went out of our way to eat there. It is not hard to change open/close times on google maps. Even outside the pub it said dinner until 9 and they couldn’t even be bothered to change the sign. It’s really not that hard is it?

Enjoyed the food , stunning steak. I will definitely go again.

Had Sunday lunch for the first time since it reopened and must say food staff and the place it self was lovely. So refreshing. Its well worth going. Keep it up.

Perfect meal, food excellent especially the muscles. Staff extremely attentive, will definitely be going again.

Food was alright, orders nixed up but the environment was nice

Beautiful place with a great peaceful view.

Got the orders wrong. Food was late. Staff didn't understand the customers request. Place is lovely and the staff friendly.

Best fillet steak I’ve had in years

Lovely food, interesting and seasonal menu, and great service. Would definitely recommend!

Lovely pub with a pretty garden and friendly staff. Only stopped for a quick drink but menu looked great so will definitely be returning to eat.

Excellent pub food last night, my husband enjoyed his mussels and I had a delicious steak cooked to perfection. Very good service, lovely staff, spotless surroundings with a relaxed atmosphere. We will be back soon, thank you to all. Fiona & Martin

Great country pub very friendly service and great location.

Had a fantastic lunch. Spotless, warm welcome to a gem of a location. An imaginative menu cooked to perfection by a talented Chef and staff. Worth a look now it has reopened. The new owners have really created a wonderful experience.

New owners and it shows, excellent service and cracking real ales.

Great place recently refurbished and reopened, good friendly atmosphere and a great pint of ale 🍺

A nice pub with a lot of character, good to see it had reopened with a couple of nice real ales from Sandbanks Brewery.

absolutely fantastic! lovely and friendly landlords and staff

Visited 31/08/23 and very disappointed it seems to have closed, such a shame food and service were excellent on all visits we ever made.

What can i say ive coming here at least15 years possibly more only ever had curtious service first class fresh food .Whatever takes your fancy from the menue be assured it will be first rate Beers and wines as well . The management always manage to find us a table onour last visit we had steak n kidney puddingwith a good selection of fresh vegetables with lovely rich gravy Sue my partner chose Scallops with ahuge salad ŵith her words best ever glassof Rijjoca thankyou and good lùck see you soon Clive nSue

Lovely pub out in Morden, owned by a sweet friendly couple. Lots of locally made gin with plenty of flavours to choose from. Ordered fish and chips, the food was delicious, best fish I've had in ages, good quality and meaty, big portions too! Stunning views sat out in the back garden. There were a few pheasants flying around in the field which was a pleasure to see! Gutted I didn't take pics of the food but will next time. Will definitely visit again :)

Warm and welcoming. Easy to book online. Food was lovely, nicely presented, portions just right. Nice decor even though it is a tad tired. Will definitely be going back.

Really friendly landlord. We had drinks in the garden with the kids and the dog. Inexpensive drinks and crisps compared to some places. Garden could do with a bit of a tidy up but as it’s not really garden weather yet it may be on their radar to do before the late Spring and Summer visitors start arriving. Would definitely visit again. Inside the pub looked really lovely and cozy and the food I saw when inside looked lovely.

Made to feel like myself and my family as a nuisance as we where put in the very tired bar area as we had my dog Services certainly wasn't with a smile alot of tutting when ordering drinks and paying I would understand if it was a busy Friday night however it was just us and a small table in the restaurant Chipped glasses drity glasses We never returned

Took my mum here for Mother's Day but it was rather disappointing. My veg was undercooked and my mum's lamb was very fatty & chewy. The team were very apologetic and did offer desserts without a charge and that was much appreciated - especially as they were delicious, rescuing the day.

Nice lunch with a pint of Tanglefoot

Lovely food, as usual, appreciated by all six of us. Many thanks. Updated Match 2023 - once again, pub food par excellence.

Visited this pub for the first time and I cannot believe we had not been sooner. The building itself is lovely and felt very cosy. The staff were so welcoming and the food was incredible. Several of us had the steak and all felt it was the best steak we had ever had, quite literally it was cooked to perfection. We will be returning again and again!

This pub truly is wonderful, quaint, cosy and traditional and in the countryside with easy driving access. The staff are the same faces and always there to take care of you. It means a lot to see the same staff, which tells me they are well looked after and they also made me feel well looked after on every visit. The food is spectacular, I can still taste it now! The chicken curry was really good and my partner had the steak pie with dauphinoise which was out of this world! I highly recommend this pub to anyone. Thank you once again for a great dining experience and I cannot wait to visit again when I am next in Dorset :)

Excellent food with friendly service. Definitely go back again.

Had an excellent birthday meal here. The Steak and Kidney suet pudding was good size and very tasty. It was served with nice veggies and a good rich gravy. I will be going back for more.

Nice atmosphere on arrival, went on Sunday 29th January for my 60th Birthday Treat, With my wife, 2 young Children and small dog, however food not very hot and staff in my view not overly friendly, did explain prior to booking both my children were Autistic

Lovely dinner and thank you for allowing me to bring our dog. Happy new year

Excellent food....and lovely venue

Very enjoyable lunch with friends, one diner had various allergies but the menu was adjusted to accommodate her. Not expensive either.

Always pleased with our visits there. Very good food, not expensive and relaxing.

Great freshly cooked food and nice pub setting.

Lovely place to eat the food is delicious and the staff are friendly, a great atmosphere too.

Absolutely delicious food. Our second visit and the different choices of dish were just as excellent this time. Our guests are very used to eating out and were very impressed. Big choice and carefully cooked and presented, quite generous helpings. We all liked the fact that there was no musaz and we could hear our conversations, concentrate on each other and our meal. The service was excellent. Having to be careful of gluten and a few other ingredients, I was so grateful to have such huge care and attention taken over my food. I rang beforehand and I know about 80% of the dishes can be made Gluten free. My husband has already decided what he would like to order next time! I thoroughly recommend.

The food was great. Recommended

Nice little pub in the middle of nowhere. Barman was very friendly with lots of food choices on the menu. Service was quick with decent food portions. Place was a little dated but that might add to its charm. They also have their own gin and rum available for purchase

Great food, lovely environment, friendly staff

Extremely good food, nice cozy atmosphere and very friendly staff

Absolutely the best meal I've had this week in Dorset! Great place to visit and a little treasure.

Delicious food and very attentive and friendly staff. Would definitely go back.

Very enjoyable evening. Food was great. Good service too

Great traditional food, well presented and delicious
