The best restaurants serving British food in Piddle Valley West Dorset South West

We found this wonderful place after being at Minterne House and Gardens. Lovely village pub. Fantastic service, offered toys for my kid. Really lovely food. Great selection of drinks. Will definitely be returning.

A big 81st birthday lunch with family from Devon and Dorset … our third visit … lovely setting, buzzy atmosphere , faultless staff and great food… we all love The Thimble and will be back again … wish it was my local…

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.
