Comfortable pub in the oldest part of King Charles's development of Poundbury. Very good staff will bring you usually excellent food for a reasonable price. Popular with locals.

Tried to book a table over the phone, guy who answered the phone was really rude and sarcastic and then decided to hang up on me and leave the phone off the hook. ??

Karen Newman

Really expensive, overpriced food, tables not cleared, uncaring staff, no atmosphere. Wouldn't go again sadly.

We had a great time here. Staff always

Sunday carvery. 4 people. Fairly cramped seating on a high backed bench. Food was easily edible, but nothing spectacular. There is a large screen for sports, and from the looks of the decoration, it is a Rugby showing pub more than anything. Friendly staff and quick service.

Amazing Sunday roast, the landlady was extremely nice and attentive to anything I needed such as drink refills etc. the roast had beef, gravy, carrots, Yorkshire puddings, cauliflower cheese and some other bits that I don't remember but it was all very delicious. I will come back here for a roast for sure if I'm in the area.

Only popped in for a quick pint but nothing snobby about it considering where it is. Dog friendly and had no problem with wellies. A free house so not stuck to brewery beers. Will go again.

The food was very bland. Quite expensive too. But the staff were lovely, and nice atmosphere.

Had a simple mixed ploughman's lunch and it was very well presented, tasty and the amount was just right.Parking: Right outside door, at least when we went.

Great carvery highly recommended. You will need to book at busy times, we got there at 2pm on a Sunday and there was only one table free. Staff were friendly and cheerful. I had the standard size, they also do small and large. Prices are the same as other carvery pubs nearby.
