The best restaurants serving British food in Hill Forts North Dorset South West

We live just around the corner and have visited several times ,have taken friends and family too , food always good but service only OK ! Today service was absolutely appalling, the lady started to take our order then ignored us , saying "got to go" 2nd attempt and all the staff were just talking to each other , we said " thank you " three times before they even acknowledged us 😡 Extremely poor and we have now been put off for good , such a shame as we were very excited about the reopening and kept sharing on social media to encourage custom for the pub Sad 😔

got food poisoning when i came and ate here do not recommend to anyone

Disappointed with the pot pie can’t really call it a pie pastry sat on top of a ramekin dish with a couple of pieces of meat under and seasonal vegetables only kale. This was the light lunch £14. Customers dog sat watching us the owner sat at the bar not taking notice of what his dog was doing. This was lunch out for my birthday so disappointing.

The pub changed hands in November last year so all reviews prior to this date relate to the previous owners. We booked for Sunday lunch and were immediately disappointed that only roast pork and chicken were on the menu. Service was basic - and the food when it arrived was disappointing. The portion size was for a child as you can see from the picture - a postage stamp sized piece of crackling and one piece of broccoli (although additional crackling was provided when requested). The stuffing ball was tiny, burnt and was clearly out of a packet and the roast potatoes were charred. We couldn’t wait to leave and will certainly not be returning.

Excellent traditional pub with tasty and well priced food. The staff were friendly and welcoming throughout, especially with the two children in our group. Would highly recommend the steak and ale pudding! Will defiantly be back if we are staying in the area again.
