The Tippling Philosopher in South Somerset

Went for an evening meal on 23rd February to celebrate my mum's birthday. Food was delicious. Look at for the offer on the steak night. I had seabass which was very tasty. We didn't have dessert on this occasion (although have done so on previous visits) as we had bought a birthday cake along. Well sort a visit. The pub is on the A30 in Milborne Port. Plenty of parking or there is parking nearby. Staff were very helpful and attentive.

I came to Milborne Port for a friends wedding in October and decided to rent an Airbnb for my parents and my daughter so we could spend a few days relaxing before and after the wedding. We booked Sunday dinner at the Tippling Philosopher in advance as noted from reviews it can get busy. We visited the pub when we arrived on the Friday evening and felt very welcome. Nice atmosphere with lots of locals. Good selection of beer and wine. We came back for a coffee Saturday morning and really liked the community feel during the day too. On Sunday we had the roast dinner which was delicious. Fresh veg and lots of it! Beautifully cooked meat. We then came back on the Sunday evening for the pub quiz. Again, we were made to feel very welcome despite everyone else being local. Children are allowed in the pub until 9pm, but the landlady said if my daughter was well behaved she could stay until the end of the quiz (she’s 10). Overall, the pub made our trip to Milborne Port very enjoyable. It seems to be a proper community hub and the owners obviously put a lot of effort into it. Thanks for having us :)

This is by no means my first review of this lovely pub. But the consistency we find with their meals - and the Sunday roast in particular - is worth telling over and over. Today three of us all went for the roast beef - melt in the mouth, and cut just as one wants it, rare for those of us who like it that way, through to well done if that's your preference. And served with roast potatoes, Yorkshire pud, four seasonal vegetables (today it was red cabbage, broccoli, carrots and green beans) and lots of thick beef gravy. We chose not to have starters or desserts this time, opting for the large main meal alone and so ignoring the slightly smaller option. Today, had we not gone for the beef, we could have had the pork, which we have had on occasion, as it always comes with stuffing and perfect crackling. And it is always just as good - great consistency that we've never found anywhere else, and price-wise it's all amazing good value too. In short, it's hard to beat, on quantity, quality and price and little wonder therefore that it's always wise to book in advance. That said, Dave and Di run a place where nothing's too much trouble and they'll always fit you in if they can, but my advice is, when it comes to food this good, don't leave it to chance, pick up the phone and book. We already have, and we'll be back at our usual table next Sunday.

My daughter had a surprise hen party this Saturday done by her friends...just want to thank Di and Dave for making her evening so extra special,.the buffet was yummy 😋..we were all welcomed into the pub area to join in with the Disco that was separate to the hen party and what a fabulous time was had by all!! Good Memories...A Big Thankyou 🥰

We were on an easter break and popped into this pub for dinner and a few drinks on a Saturday evening, as we were staying a short walk from here. For a remote pub and the only pub in this village, it was absolutely shocking. Staff/owners were miserable as sin and were not very welcoming at all. The atmosphere was terrible and actually made you feel you were aliens visiting from another planet or something. Food was questionable to the point where unfortunately I was poorly that evening and the following day. It was such a shame that this pub was so bad, as usually in remote villages with nothing else around, they are usually the best ones to visit. Surfice to say we had a couple of drinks and left. I wouldn't recommend this place at all.

Booked last minute for Valentines special, 2 steaks and bottle of wine. The wife had Fillet Steak, I had sirloin. Both cooked to perfection. Chips, mushrooms, salad ect were all great. Nothing to complain about. Amazing food. Great service. Great price. Will definitely be back.

Went on a Friday for Steak Night. Excellent value. Good service, pleasant atmosphere and quality, fresh food.

Came in for a drink and lunch with friends, drinks were okay, nothing really to fault but the atmosphere wasn't great and the owners weren't welcoming either. Not many vegetarian options so quite disappointed.

Went in for a drink. I ordered a pint, from a young lady who was more interested in talking to her mates. The beer was of the stone cold, tasteless type. It’s a cold, boring place to be with a cold pint of beer. So I just walked out. There are so many better places then this

Came here with my friends for a pub quiz. The owners were welcoming and accommodating, the quiz was engaging and challenging, there was food brought out to all participants; this was a very pleasant surprise and meant my friend didn't need to find somewhere to eat before we went home. Fantastic visit, even if we didn't win! Always nice to support a local pub, especially one like this, can't think of a better example for why we need to support local business. Thank you again for your hospitality.

We popped in on the off chance after taking our aged mother out for a ride. What a gem! A lovely, clean pub. Dog friendly (Sid was even given dog biscuits on a plate and given a bowl of water). We had a lovely meal. Fish and chips and scampi and chips both with mushy peas and a jacket potato for mum. The meals were freshly cooked and very hot. They have a lovely garden if the weather is good enough to sit outside. Very friendly staff. Their Covid precautions were excellent, with hand sanitizers everywhere.

Social distancing is amazing any problem sorted wish more pubs in the village were like this well done to di and the rest of the staff

A lovely pub with a great menu. Feels really safe and clean in these worrying times. has plenty of outside space if the weather is kind, and the tables inside are well spaced.

A party of us ate in the restaurant and had a wonderful meal. The service was good, the staff friendly, and the food was excellent.

Simply delicious! Roast pork or roast turkey, our party of six each enjoyed our lunch, served with the full accompaniments. Beautiful flavours, excellent gravy and perfect service! Thank you

What an excellent event! The atmosphere is always really high, and the music acts are on point! Please don’t stop what you guys are doing!

Great lunch here recently. Varied menu something for everyone and reasonably priced. Granddaughter had a great time interacting with friendly staff. We will be back.

Had an excellent steak with a couple of colleagues and a couple of beers - good house ale & otter brewery guest. Slightly disappointed there was no crumble, but bread and butter pudding was good!

Have been here for food a couple of times now it is very reasonably priced...good quality ingredients big portions and cooked well, I would definitely recommend

We had a fabulous lunch at the Tippling Philosopher today. Friendly staff, beautifully cooked food and very generous helpings. We were only sorry that we couldn’t finish all the delicious vegetables or that we had room for a dessert. The roast dinners were really lovely - great potatoes - and my Mediterranean lasagne was absolutely delicious. It’s a shame we’re only in the area on holiday for a few more days. Thank-you for a fabulous lunch.

We went to the Tippling Philosopher for lunch. There were three of us: two people and a dog. They gave my dog some biccies and water, for which he was very grateful.The menu was very good for lunch and we enjoyed it very much. The service was good and kind and we decided we’d come back again. Well worth visiting!

We popped in here for a quick drink as we were early for a meeting. The service was friendly and helpful. We will return and try the food shortly!

Had a wonderful evening in the Tippling Philosopher. Faultless food, wine and service. Friendly, welcoming & accommodating in a relaxed atmosphere. Family friendly with kids menu. Also enjoyed the pool room, juke box & a couple of goes at skittles! Perfect evening had by all in our party.

We had a family birthday celebration at The Tippling Philosopher last night. My partner and I had the sirloin steak which was cooked as ordered and was delicious. All of us really enjoyed our meals and were looked after brilliantly. Thank you for a lovely evening

Had lunch here last year whilst on holiday and what a lucky find. Meal so good - recommended to family. So all ate here for Saturday and Sunday lunch this year. Service very friendly and food we couldn’t fault. Accommodated over and above. Excellent value for money. Wish we lived nearer but 100 miles a bit far!!

Visited last night probably because only pub in village and so no driving. A gem. The pub is well kept, clean and very much good value food.

Got here at opening time on a Saturday morning it was a place to meet up and decide where to go next with family and friends, as they were buying a house locally and this would be the local they and we would use when visiting, as we walked in to a very stoned faced bar lady, who looked at us as though we we’re aliens! We ordered soft drinks and coffee as they had no non acholic beer, prices were ok, and the coffee which was finstant was brought over to us with a small jug of milk and sugar, it was ok. We didn’t stay, and probably will not return as the selling of non acholic beer is I think quite unacceptable nowadays especially when they sell non acholic gin! I always thought village pubs were meant to be happy and welcoming. It was clean tidy and the decor was pleasant not like the staff.

Ate here with friends and dog. Staff very welcoming and locals friendly. Good range of beers, lagers and soft drinks and all reasonably priced. Dogs allowed in bar area and large garden. We selected the vege burger and classic burger that came with a good sized portions of French fries or chunky chips. I chose the chicken dish with rice that was also very good. The food really is very good value for money and if in this area again would certainly eat here again.

Visited with my partner and Dad . Lovely Welcome we were early before orders were taken but the landlord /Chef took our order very quickly . Dad and Nick had steaks and they were thoroughly enjoyed. My burger was delicious. Very friendly atmosphere great value for money. Highly recommended.

Just had one of the best pub meals I've had for a long time had the Thai menu everything looked good and tasted even better can't recommend it enough

We had a wonderful lunch at the Tip today, hot, fresh and tasty. My only teeny complaint would be that the condiments are Litchfields, it’s a bit nasty and offended the lovely lunch that we had. Wouldn’t hesitate to return.

Only place we could find open for a midweek lunchtime snack. Helpful and friendly staff but with limited range to offer.

Stopped here on the off chance on our way to Cornwall for our holiday. A very good local pub basic but good menu . Tasty food and very helpful and friendly staff.

Convenient roadside location with good parking.Wonderful welcome from very friendly landlady. Food is good value but fairly basic. Wine list is somewhat restricted if you like good quality.

Almuerzo de Domingo que frecuentemente tienen aquí como es nuestro local. Hoy era mi cumpleaños y no quieres cocinar, así que decidimos probar el menú todos los días el almuerzo.

Un salto para disfrutar de una comida en el camino a casa, se veía bien en el exterior, pero necesita un poco de renovación en el interior. No una gran selección de cervezas para probar pero la Ines que probé eran buenas! La comida era buena y normal comida de pub, pero algunas de las ofertas de menú ligeramente que les hacía un poco más interesante. El personal era muy servicial, amable y hablador!

We stopped for lunch, an unplanned visit while passing through. Good beer. Hot tasty wholesome food in a classic pub environment. Just what was needed. We would certainly do so again.

Estuvimos aquí, por casualidad,, en la noche tailandesa. No estábamos muy seguros de qué esperar, pero el menú ofrecía una buena selección de comida tailandesa, y estábamos contentos con lo que pedimos. Es, en efecto, la verdadera comida tailandesa, bien preparada y presentada. El servicio era maravilloso. No puedo hablar de la comida otras noches, pero sin duda probarlo.

El filósofo es mi "beber" y local que he venido a dar cuenta de la suerte que soy. Es en parte que ver con el ambiente esta bien, pero de gestión familiar proporciona un pub también sobre la bienvenida que te dan, y por supuesto, la relación calidad-precio por su dinero. El filósofo se llena marcas beber de mí en todos los aspectos.

The cling and ping food offered here is reasonably priced for what it is. The dining experience is not a pleasant one, diners are corralled in a small area while the drinkers look on from a very crowded 2mtr bar area which is made more crowded by the old men nursing their drinks.

Have been here on a number of occasions, always greeted nicely by the owners. Very friendly pub - great food. Would recommend to others.

Don't miss this 16 century village pub, it's food is excellent and the beer is very well kept.Starters were a choice of butterfly prawns, deep fried breaded mushrooms or crispy pork bites with a BBQ sauce (delicious). Each was well received by my fellow diners.The Sunday roast feature home cooked vegetables, tasty and succulent roast pork (beef is available). The cauliflower cheese and spicy red cabbage were the highlight of a platter of vegetables but the fresh broccoli and carrots were not to be passed up.The chance of a pudding was there but, because of the hearty servings we declined.All in all, an excellent Sunday lunch and we'll be back!

We have visited this pub for meals on a number of occasions, and while the food has always been good, recent visits have been the best. Food was served quickly after ordering, was well prepared and presented, and the steaks were cooked to perfection. At the time of our visit, the pub offered a 'free bottle of wine' deal with two meals, which was an added bonus! Overall, good value pub food, in a friendly pub with a reasonable ambience.

Fantastic little pub, in fact only one in the lovely village of Milborn port, not a lot to choose from on the menu but what was on was fantastically cooked, nothing was too much trouble for the staff all were very pleasant and friendly...the last day of our holidays we had been visiting a water park called splashdown (which is worth a visit) in poolewhich is approx one and a half hours ride from Milborn port, we had all decided we would like to go back to the tippling philosopher for our last meal but knew we would not get back in time as last meal orders were 8.30....on the off chance I rang the pub and explained...not a problem took our meal orders over the phone and they would have them ready for 9 o'clock we got there...how many pubs would do that? Fantastic service, good food good service highly recommend a visit if your in the area !!!

this is a lovely pub great atmosphere the food is great all we hat were paninis but they were the best that I have ever had cant wait to try something from there main menu , the landlord was very pleasant plenty of car parking the pub was spotless would recommend to anybody.

Great pub, friendly service, lovely food. There is a beer garden, quiz on Sunday night and poker on a Monday night.

We had yet another really good Sunday lunch today, so good our friends grandson joined us in spite of his family going out, he didn't want to miss the great food.They do an option of a small portion as well, which is a good idea, although growing boys can fill up on the well cooked good range of vegetables.

Warm welcome and a very hearty and tasty meal for ten of us after a nice walk. They catered very easily for vegetarians with a lovely pie and the meat-eaters were very satisfied. Excellent all round. A pity we couldn't linger for a few more beers but everyone had trains or planes to catch or cars to drive.

Stopped here to break a journey and had a thoroughly enjoyable meal. I had a chicken pie which was home made and so very tasty. It's a local pub but we were made very welcome and I would recommend stopping for a very good but inexpensive meal.

Passing through the village with friends staying locally, popped in for an evening meal warm welcome, great meal reasonably priced, fab service would definitely return.

We dined here one night while staying in nearby Purse Caundle. From the outside, the Tippling Philosopher is an unremarkable pub, and one might be tempted to go on to a more attractive looking pub in Sherborne. This would be a mistake.Inside, the pub is lovely and welcoming. There are plenty of tables sitting groups of 2-8 diners (or drinkers) and the friendly bar staff are ready to take drinks and food orders against a large variety of menu options and daily specials. There was no problem with adjusting some of the menu items and sides to suit our requests, and the food came promptly, hot, and tasty. Actually, we only had one complaint - it was too much! The meals were all on the generous side, and their deliciousness meant we all stuffed ourselves! Desserts too (although shared) were irresistible.Prices were fair, and the range of ales excellent - try the Tippling Bitter!

The Tippling Philosopher is a lovely country pub in the Dorset village of Milbourne Port, the pub has a good selection of beers and ciders, large bar and separate dinning room.I had the roast pork, very generous portion of meat, cooked to perfection, with nice crackling, and 4 veg and a Yorkshire pudding and roast potatoes, the only downside of the meal is the rosties, were deep fried not roasted, its not hard to produce a decent roastie? A nice touch was a large jug of gravy, so many places I eat there is not enough gravyOverall the Tippling Philosopher is a very friendly pub, great service and great food

Just had another really delicious and well-cooked Sunday lunch with friends and family. Delicious food, good service and warm, friendly atmosphere. What more could you want? Will continue to visit.

We go to the Tippler, as it is known locally, quite often and we are never dissappointed. This week I had a starter before my Sunday luncj and it was a really enjoyable plate of Garlic Mushrooms, with plenty of dip and a nice side salad. The roast lunch was, as usual, superb, the only problem was I was too full to manage a pud!

Sunday lunch at the pub is not an unusual occurunce these days, but the one served at the Tippling Philosopher is particularly good. Plenty of meat, a good selection of perfectly cooked veg, and a great selection of desserts. I wish I could come every week.

Apparently you are not allowed to have a small meal of an evening in this place.I have a small appetite, and visited this pub early (around 7pm) one Wednesday evening in November. The restaurant was empty, and when I asked if I could have a small omelette from the menu I was told no, they only serve omelettes at lunchtime. Now if you can cook an omelette at 1pm, why can you not cook one at 7pm ? They let me walk out of an empty restaurant, rather than be prepared to be flexible.

Drove past this place on the way back to our hotel and decided to turn round and drop in. Very unassuming from the outside, kind of looks like a community pub and even when you walk inside, quite bland but then you meet the landlord. What a genuinely friendly welcoming man. And then there was a few of the regulars. I cannot remember the last time i have laughed so much with a group of strangers that made you feel as if everybody knew each other so well. Only partook of the alcohol so cant really comment on the food or anything else but i had to just mention this place purely on the basis of the most welcoming people ever. Thankyou guys

Had a really good traditional Sunday lunch. Roast Pork with crackling and all the trimmings, followed by a lovely pud. Nice tradional pub.

Nice friendly pub, clean and tidy, outdoor area to eat, good selection of beers and ciders, good menu with a good selection of meals at reasonable cost, service was good, and the meal was good.

Had an absolutely delicious meal at the regular Thai Night yesterday. Thoroughly recommend this pub for all their food, but if you're looking for a reasonably priced, authentic Thai meal, do book for their regular Thursday Thai Nights - you won't be disappointed.

Went to this pub for an evening meal on a Friday with friends, and we all had a good meal.Generous portions, good value for money for the fish and steak menu with 2 man courses for 24 GBP including a bottle of wine.The pint of real ale that I had was very tasty (I forgot what it was, sorry!).A nice pub that I would recommend.

Lovely village pub, good steak, generous portions and fairly priced. Roast dinner on a sunday didn't live up to expectations unfortunetly but still worth a visit.

I was organising a group (35+) visit to Milborne Port. Enquiries, via e-mail, of David as to what was available brought an immediate response of a very positive and informative nature, the like of which one always hopes for but seldom gets. This is such bonus when trying to organise a large group. Being a small pub we were welcomed on the day in small groups, given a warm reception, made to feel very much at home and supplied with all the tea, coffee, drinks and refreshments one could possibly ask for in a truly friendly manner.As an example of how to manage enquiries, how to welcome visitors and with friendliness and efficiency of service this would take some beating. I would have no hesitation in returning for an evening meal with friends just to see if initial impressions were carried right through the full cuisine. I would be very surprised if it were not so. Personal service in small 'independents' counts for everything.

A friend invited us to join her for Sunday Lunch and it was really nice. There was a generous helping of excellent meat, a good selection of vegetables and the best roast potatoes I have had any where. The puds were lovely and the service was good. Proably the best Pub Sunday Lunch I have had in a long time.

We like to go on a Friday for steak night. The meal is very good quality and the price for two people excellent and includes a bottle of house wine. The staff are friendly . If you don't wish to eat steak there are other dishes in the deal. I am very happy to use this local pub it is an asset to the village.

Had another really excellent Sunday lunch with the family. I think it's the best choice for miles around. Meat from our local butcher, good choice of freshly cooked and imaginatively served vegetables and inexpensive desserts. Well worth a visit.

this was only the second Thai meal i`d had in perhaps 15 years, and i really enjoyed it. This was my first visit to this pub, and i had looked forward to it, i was not disappointed. The Lager was very nice and the right temperature....the staff were friendly and polite. The Washrooms were clean and tidy. I would say it`s a good place to dine.

This is my third visit to this pub; I have yet to have an acceptable meal. Choice of 3 items on the menu, I chose the least poor. Gravy like dishwater, overcooked and fatty beef, all delivered within 5 minutes of ordering, so none of it could have been freshly prepared. Zero atmosphere in the pub. The next time I visit - a family member likes the pub - I will just not order food. My partner was most unwell after his lunch here.

Had yet another meal last night with a friend over from Canada who was staying with me. In spite of being extremely busy, our order was taken promptly and allowed us to 'swap' our choice of potatoes, instead of saying 'you have to have as stated on the menu' like some pubs do. Food delicious as usual and very reasonable. Good choice of desserts too.

We visited for a sunday lunch. This is a traditional pub with a bar area and an eating area. The food was good and reasonably priced, good value for money. The beer was well-kept with a choice of 3 hand pulled beers. This was our first visit but it is definitely on the list of pbs to go back to.

it took us 2 weeks to actually get a booking for their thai night on a Thursday evening and was it worth the wait!Excellent food ,great service,friendly lady behind the bar and superb value for money,best Thai meal in this area for sure!

Four of us went to this pub for our evening meal on the first night of our holiday, having read up on its website. We weren't impressed. The food was very ordinary. The real ale was either not on or not good. We would have returned for their quiz night but decided to go further afield in search of something more appetising.

Took my mum there for a meal after reading other reviews and was very pleasantly surprised. As mentioned by previous review, fairly basic inside, but the food was excellent and great value. It happened to be the Steak and Fish night and the selection was good and the price very reasonable with a bottle of wine thrown in. Staff were very friendly and the owner/chef came out for a chat. Great evening.Thanks. If i was staying in the area would definitely visits a lot, but sadly not though sure my mum will come again.

Having just moved to the village we thought we would try the Thai food on a Thursday evening at The Tippling Philosopher. What a lovely discovery! The pub has good real ales and serves proper Fentiman's Ginger Beer, and the service was excellent. As for the food, well, we had a starter each (dumplings and a minced lamb dish) and a main course (fish with a spicy sauce and chicken Thai curry with boiled rice) and everything we tasted was delicious, freshly cooked beautifully presented. Although they didn't have a vegetarian main course listed, they said they are happy to prepare a veggie option, but best to let them know when you book – and do book, as it gets very busy. Although the Thai dessert had sold out by the time we got to considering puddings, the Jam Roly Poly off the main menu went down very well. And the prices were reasonable too – around £9 for a main course.

If you want a friendly atmosphere, good ales. and a delicious and good value meal, you have it here. The décor is basic but pleasing, the staff are welcoming and Dave (the owner and chef) always cooks to a high standard and enjoys a friendly chat if he is not too busy in the kitchen. It is well patronised by locals, never a bad sign!

We popped in for a quick drink whilst driving through. Lovely little pub. The landlord was lovely, and kindly gave us some firewood to take away when we asked where we could buy some from. Would go back if we were in the area.

Go here fairly regularly for their steak nights and bottle of wine £20. Really good sized portions cooked to perfection and always a nice atmosphere on these nights.

Good range of food and beers. On main road A30 in middle of village worth exploring. Good car park. Interesting church.

Visited this lovely pub with friends last Saturday.The food was of excellent quality and good value and the men in the group enjoyed the Ales on offer.A very enjoyable evening.Would recommend.

Decided to try another local pub this evening, so stopped off at The Tippling Philosopher, which was a great surprise.Very friendly village pub, good ale too.The service was very slick, the steak was cooked to perfection and accompanied by all the usual trimmings, all in all a very tasty meal with a good bottle of wine included in the price.Pudding was excellent too.

le service est sympa et discret.Cuisine simple et fraiche typique des pubs anglais.ils mettent des fraises et des framboises dans la salade verte... trop bien.

The garlic mushrooms were very nice but beware if you don't like lots of garlic butter (YUM). I also had Venison which was cooked to perfection and Jane had the sea bass which she loved. So much food we couldn't manage a dessert.Free Wi-Fi and cash back and very friendly staff makes this an all round winner.

I often pop in this pub for food and a pint and the staff are great and the food is the best in the village by far.I would highly recommend the Tipp to anyone I talk to.

Well, after reading the previous reviews, i must say that i'm shocked! My visit to the restaurant was brilliant. We had great servce, and the food was top notch too! i'm a fussy eater, and all of my awkward requests were met without exception. Frankly, the people working made me feel very welcome. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone!

Stopped here with my family on the way home from a caravan holiday in Devon. We ate in the garden and had a great meal,I had a rump steak which was possibly the nicest steak I've had in a long time (I'm told it comes from the local butchers, over the road), with chips and all the trimmings my wife had a Prawn salad and it was very very colourful and even had strawberries and raspberries in it, our two sons had chicken burgers (which we didn't realise came with chips). Good value for money as a lot on the plate. We had two small glasses of wine and two cokes and it was less than £40!!!! Only thing that let it down was there were wasps everywhere but that has been the case for our entire holiday. The staff (landlord and landlady, seem to run it alone!) here were friendly and knew a lot about the area and the products on sale, my son is a bar man at our local pub and was asking lots of questions about the real ales! All in all a nice place to stop. Would visit again.

I went to this pub last week and I was disgusted at the service I recieved from the man from behind the bar it wasn't a busy period and it took me about 15 minutes to be served and when I did eventually get served they didn't have my 1st and 2nd choice of drink so had to settle for a flat coke as when I told the man it tasted as the gas had gone he shrugged his shoulders and gave me a very blank look .... I would never step foot in this pub again and I deffinately wouldn't recommend this pub as a family friendly ... DISGUSTING !!!

A good range of real ales to be had, hence the mis-spelling. Spacious and friendly, been here for both lunch and dinner and the food has been of good quality. Plenty of room in the car park compared to the other main pub in the village, and unlike that one, never had a bad beer.

We stopped here on our way home from holiday and were delighted with the Thai meal (recommended by a local) which we enjoyed here. We were welcomed and impressed by the young waitress who was able to answer all our questions regarding the Thai cuisine.The meal was varied and delicious and we wished we lived nearer so we could try the Sunday lunch!All in all a great pub with a good atmosphere.

We had lunch here - seared tuna with Mediterranean vegetables. Thefood was delicious and the staff were very accommodating, giving us water to warm baby bottles and holding our food back until we had finished feeding the babies.

Had Sunday lunch there today. As always nice atmosphere and excellent food. If you haven't visited this great pub, you are missing out.

Just like a proper Sunday at home, food was lovely with plenty of veg & nice hot plates. Staff really friendly & good prices, we already intend to go back for one of the specials night, just have to decide on a Thai night or the steak, decisions decisions.

Great food, excellent staff and good beer. It doesn't look much being on the main road, but your stop here will be well worth it.

My daughter lives in Milborne and we visit regularly. We always go to "The Tipps" for a meal.The atmospher is great,no loud blarry music or screeching kids. The staff are great and after only a few visits in the year they remembered us. We have had no problems with parking and really enjoy the garden in the sunshine. Milborne Port is a lovely village and the villagers make you welcome and its always very pretty. The jubilee celebrations where fantastic and alot of thought goes into the arrangement of all the events.Would definatley recommend a visit to the tipps and milborne.

Lovely pub, lovely food, lovely atmosphere. I went on Friday Fish Night and particularly enjoyed the cod and chorizo fishcakes.

I live in Milborne Port and always take friends and family here when they visit. The food is always good and everyone makes you feel welcome. Well worth a visit.

We visited this pub for the first time when we had relative visiting and I have to say, it was the best meal I have had in a long time. The food was fantastic and the staff were wonderful. We have already booked to go back and I would throughly recommend them to anyone. Excellent.
