Lovely Sunday

Really nice atmosphere and dog-friendly. They have a bowling alley, which I didn’t use but thought was an interesting addition. Glasses were full to the brim, so you know you’re getting your money’s worth for drinks. Waiters and manager were very polite and friendly. I didn’t think service was slow, but they came out and apologised anyway for the wait and seemed really lovely about it. Very nice service The food tasted alright. Did think the food prices were a bit too high, but this wasn’t a huge problem

Honestly I was surprised as from the outside I didn't expect much from the outside.. One in good service and beer. There was nobody else in when I got there (early on a Sunday) so hard to judge atmosphere. Worth a visit for a pint though.

Sean and Marcia have just taken over, and if you have been to the Shack in Spetisbury, you will know they are awesome. Come on down for a fresh look of a great pub. Support your community, use it, or lose it!!

Fantastic food and so reasonably priced! £53 for four mains and five drinks between us. Lovely decor and vibes in the pub too. We will definitely go back ?

Lovely village pub and hopefully it will continue to be!Sat in the Beer garden with a beer last Tuesday on a fine summer evening but sadly some irresponsible owners who were also sat outside who obviously owned the dogs were not under control and one dumped just where I was sitting!The owners were oblivious to this as they were too busy in their own wayNot great!

Popped in whilst cycling along the trailway. I arrived late for food but was still served by the very kind bar lady. Curry was scrummy and really good value.

Greeted by Barry the landlord. A man made for the job. Shown to the dining room. Great selection of food. We opted for the Sunday roast, great choice of meats at a good price. The food came very hot, separate vegetables. The wine was well priced. Opted for a sweet, again big choice. Very pleasant waiting staff. Highly recommend.

We arrived with our staffie in a dog buggy which is the size of a large pram. The landlord welcomed us in and he took the buggy into a back room so it wasn't left outside. Very kind of him!My wife had the chicken supreme with new potatoes and veg which she enjoyed very much. I had,what is probably the best I have had, liver and bacon with mashed potato and lovely thick onion gravy. All freshly made. My wife then had the sticky toffee pudding which was a very large portion and tasted great.The landlord and lady behind the bar were very friendly and helpful from arriving to leaving.Would I go back? Certainly!!
