Awesome place. Great atmosphere, service and food/drink. The fossil exhibit is so interesting. Top pub - go back regularly ???

Everything was spot on, especially our waiter JACK - a fabulous and helpful and personable young

The pub reminds me of something you'd find at Black Country museum or Beamish museum. Just perfect and to top it off, they serve locally sourced real ales straight from the barrel. Wish I lived nearer.

Lovely real old pub.... Good beers, interesting menu in that they only serve homemade sausage rolls and Dorset apple cake and either beef, curry or cheese, onion and potato pasties... an interesting business model but always seems to be very popular.Well done the Square and Compass., there aren't many good old fashioned pub left

Fabulous, quirky old place. Located on the South West Coast Path in Worth Matravers, the Square and Compass is not your average pub. It has no traditional bar, just a serving hatch. Customers queue along the entrance passage and it can be a fair wait at busy times so time your visit carefully. It’s worth the wait though because the selection of ales is always excellent and hand drawn from the barrel. And if you think having no bar is odd enough; well, this magical pub is half museum, and not just a few cases on the wall, a full blown local museum that you access from the pub. It’s one of my all time favourites. Sitting outside in the huge beer garden in the Dorset sunshine after a bracing walk along the coast - what more could anyone ever want?

Very cosy pub, great to sit by the fire on a cold day

If you like pubs with character, you'll love The Square & Compass. A good selection of beers and ciders and realy nice pasties. The pub even has a small museum with lots of fossils.
