The best restaurants in Piddle Valley West Dorset South West

Stopped for a pint, cracking set up and friendly people. Looking forward to a fuller visit!

This place never fails to impress. Incredible food, incredible service and a lovely way to spend a lunchtime. Staff are attentive and friendly and the food is always good.

What a lovely place this is. Nestled in a remote narrow valley, Plush is the village that time forgot. The Brace of Pheasants is a quintessential, ancient thatched inn with beams, low ceilings and bags of character. We had a great meal, lovely to see (and eat) game but the whole menu was well balanced and interesting. Food beautifully cooked and really tasty. Excellent choice of beers and wines and the draught bitter was delicious. Service friendly and very professional. Good parking beside the pub. This is what everyone imagines a pub in England should be like and for once, it is.

I was unaware that the Pub was not actually open. Just the b and b. So instead of a lovely meal and drink in the Pub we stayed in which was my intention we had to get in the car and go out (moving the barrier across the car park to get out.) £105 outrageous price for 'Deluxe room'. which was basically a big room with a noisy fridge in it. Though it was very clean and comfortable. I received an email saying the pub was shut on the day I went on holiday to Cornwallm so didn't see it. Nowhere on there website does it say it's closed.
