Riverside Coventry Arms in East Dorset

We had been to another pub close by and had heard good things about the pear so we went in for coffee on our way home. We had never been into the pear even though we have lived in the area for 27 years. The staff were welcoming and the pub and gardens were a pleasant surprise. On first impressions we would return to eat.

Myself and my wife are local and dropped in yesterday for breakfast. Very nice breakfast, my wife couldn’t finish her granola so I did, which was excellent. Will go again.

Had a meal this evening 4 adults this is a visit we do quite frequently but tonight service was very slow side salad had been left under the warmer and portions very small compared to other times. The managers of the pub weren't there so the service seemed very poor. Disappointed but will come back. Went back to the stocks the week after and had amazing service and the food was excellent just like it always is. All homemade and really good menu and always happy to cook it to your required taste. That's why we make it our go to pub when taking friends and family out.

Gr8 food also The breakfast is a must

I have tried the rest, I always return to the best.
