First morning there was an issue with the kitchen so not hot breakfast. No offer of refund, just a continental breakfast. Apart from that, room was as you expect from Premier inn.

I stayed in the hotel. It May be one of the worst rooms I’ve ever stayed in. The roof was leaking the carpet threadbare the bed was broken. The shower was powerful but half it broken. Tv good the lock on the door was not secure and it was open to the public without any security. Don’t stay with children. The shower tray was deadly. I’ve been on less slippy ice rinks. I had to walk through a 2 inch deep puddle like the chlorine foot baths you get at swimming pools to get to reception in the morning. Breakfast was ok.

Bar staff were friendly and polite and quick at their job. Lager tasted clean and crisp. Tables were a little sticky and in need of a hard clean. Menu was limited but being a Sunday, to be expected. Cowboy burger was very tasty and the fries were crisp and not oily The Vegan soup tasted like it was tinned and came with a slice of bread instead of 1/2 baguette as advertised. Also the bread was not great, possibly gluten free? The strangest thing was the fact that the soup was ordered as "Vegan Soup" but then came with butter. My wife is not vegan, she has Crohn's which means that she can not have anything high in lactose, so no cream. I imagine any vegan ordering this would be very offended.

Great pub for food and drinks, and to catch up with friends over a beer or two for a few hours. Very chilled during the day, friendly staff, and plenty of space and seating. Live sports on with a number of screens around the different areas. Excellent choice of well kept beer as well, and good quality pub grub. Note: price-per-person showing here is what we spent, but that was over a good few hours with food and drinks. Bar and food prices are what you would expect from a pub in town.

Lovely staff, really friendly and helpfull, actually brought my Guinness to the table for me. Ordered a piri pirir chicken jacket and my wife said it was definately tasty but seemed a little stingy on the chicken and would have liked a bit more actual chicken. The sauce was really tasty though and overall it was enjoyed. I had a fish finger sandwich (because I'm ever so posh haha) the bread was clearly cheap white bloomer as it was a little crumbly and the fish fingers themselves where skinny more batter than fish wich was a shame as you need thick decent fish fingers in a fish finger sandwich but that's not what you get. The chips you get with it where faultless and really tasty. Minor points but if I was the chef reading this it would def be something I'd bear in mind. Overall very pleasant lunch time and very clearly a warm and friendly family pub... 8/10 in my eyes. If your in town stop in you won't be let down

food arrived quickly and freshly cooked from the professional staff, it was just enough for lunch at a more than acceptable price. I also had great viewing of the Olympics with their many screens, they also had horse racing ( which was fun, as I won )

A nice place to drink, the wine is over priced nasty vinegar... But minus that it's a lovely intimate fun sports bar loads of games on! The staff are lovely and I always have fun. The food isn't great but not awful it won't make you sick. It just disappointing and the 5.99 little starters are a rip off avoid them!

As a woman on her own it’s quite daunting going into a pub on your own, I found all of the staff helpful and friendly.As I have a dog sometimes it’s difficult to find somewhere to eat but they have an area where you take your dog.

Because of this pub we missed watching the Southampton Leeds Wembley playoff final! We booked a table, with the specific instructions on having a view of a TV from our table. When we arrived at the pub no such table was available and in fact they didn’t have any table reserved for us and so we left the pub feeling very annoyed and couldn’t find anywhere else in Dorchester to watch the game. Very disappointing and bad vibes from other customers in the pub too.

We ordered a mega mixed grill and took advantage of the selection of the day burger and drink deal. Was so tasty. Juicy burgers and heaps of fries to go with it. My husband's mixed grill was equally as nice and the extra sausages went to our pooch. Would highly recommend eating here and we've all left warm and full. Thank you so much and we'll see you again soon! X

We're new to the area and trying out some of the local pubs. Really friendly and efficient service. We were really after a sandwich but they weren't on the menu, but the lady said if we weren't that hungry, why not choose a starter, which we did. Really delicious food and fabulous chips. Lovely village setting too. We'll definitely be back!

Very poorly equipped accommodation, cold room, bathroom very outdated. No bathmat stiff old towels, little space to put anything. It said on advert that breakfast & a coffee machine was provided. No breakfast. One old tea bag in a jar. Only packet’s of coffee no decaf. You have to go to bar & ask for milk, which then stands out all night, some sugar in a bowl with no cover & no teaspoon. Bed reasonably comfortable, but imagine if it was winter would be cold. Tv had no remote control so you had to get out of bed to turn the volume up or down. Had to ask for a key to lock the room when we went out. Also when you leave in mornings, you have to let yourself out a side door. As the pub staff are not up till later!! Not worth £100!
