What a great little local spot…read more They have great food and a pretty wide selection of food. Vegetarian stuff is available, not sure about vegan though. Good cold beer and cider, which is not always the case. I learned that not all pubs keep the beer cold in England. A bit different but I got use to it. Most the staff was pretty nice. Had one bar tender be pretty rude to my daughter when she ordered a juice. Although, maybe they are not so use to kids in a pub type restaurant, I'm not sure. But, I feel he could of been nicer. Didn't really feel warranted. The atmosphere was nice, really neat old building in a cool old town. I would definitely recommend it if you're in the area.

This is a super village pub with amazing food. It has received plenty of Good Pub Guide, AA, and…read moreother accolades, including being rated the 3rd-best village pub in the UK by the Independent newspaper. It's certainly a lovely pub, matching the lovely village it's set in. The owners will happily tell you that the 16th-century building is made from stones freed up when the Tudors dissolved a nearby Benedictine Abbey. It's also got big oak beams, a large inglenook fireplace, horseriding gear and pottery for decor, seats in front, and a beer garden. You'll find two of my favourite drops here, Old Speckled Hen and Flowers. There's a good menu, the pies and the seafood being standouts. And the pub, like the entire village of Cerne Abbas, sits under the watchful and endowed gaze of the Cerne Abbas Giant (http://www.mysteriousbritain.co.uk/majorsites/cerne_abbass.html) . It's a spot that guarantees conversation.

Nice little country pub that has won best pub in Dorset for several years…read more The place was fairly busy considering it had only been open about 20 to 30 minutes. The menu varies every day and there isn't a huge choice but the place is only small so it's understandable. I ordered the steak and ale pie which was tasty and hot. My parents, who accompanied me on this trip, both had the scampi. I thought the scampi pieces looked quite brown, not your usual golden brown. After they had finished their meal, they did say that it was overcooked and was a big let down. It was a shame as I was expecting a bit more from somewhere that had won best pub in Dorset!

A wonderful pub, well deserving of its awards…read more Traditional but contemporary in appearance (log burning fire, scrubbed wooden tables, light and airy) with eclectic interiors including references to the name and location (stuffed fox, references to HMS Cattistock). Obviously a local gem well loved by the village, as reflected in its busy-ness. Something of a social hub. Food is gorgeous and changed every day. Scallops, pate, whitebait to start etc, some traditional mains such as steak, burgers, pork belly as well as vegetarian offers, fish and chips and curries etc. Puds are glorious. All food is freshly prepared, meat sourced locally. Extremely friendly staff. Couldn't recommend it more!!

The view from the garden was stunning and well worth the visit. I will come again. Swedish Ett helt fantastiskt ställe om man vill ha god öl och mat samt en utsikt som slår det mesta. Att slå sig ner i trädgården med en kall Ale från något lokalt bryggeri och beundra landskapet och se solen gå ned är värt en resa i sig. Svårslaget må jag säga. Personalen är mycket trevlig och gästvänlig och pubens stora St:Bernardshund Heidi kommer gärna och blir kliad vid bordet. Ölen är mycket god om man gillar ale. Flera sorter från lokala bryggerier finns att prova och jag fann aldrig nån anledning att ens kolla om de hade nån "vanlig" lager eller sånt blask. Är man i UK så är man. :) Maten är bra och du får mycket för pengarna. Jag åt en grillad köttbit med strips ( 4 cm tjocka!) med grillad svamp och tomater. Till det örtsmör på köttet och en skål gräddsås gjord med lokal blåmögelost. Köttet var mört och fint men intrycket grumlades något av att grillen inte rengjorts bra så det smakade lite bränt även om köttet var bra tillrett. Det var det enda minuset. Efterrätterna var fantastiska dock så totalintrycket blir högt. Man får inte vänta sig för mycket av en vanlig pub på landet. Är ni i närheten, stanna till här och njut av livet ett tag.

I've stopped off for a snack or a quick drink a couple of times, and it's always really impressed me, and the lunch my parents and I had recently ranks as one of the best pub dinners the Andrews family can remember. Their crab sandwiches were fresh, as were the fish in their delicious creamy leek fish stew, while the ploughmans was huge. Desserts of chocolate and pecan brownie and banana fritters with toffee sauce were gobbled up. Ok, it's not cheap for a Devon pub, but the food is worth every penny - there was hardly anything on the menu I didn't want to scoff down. The pub itself is a charming sprawl of wooden rooms, and a small seating area out the front. It's homely and although the staff run a slick operation, they're still friendly and helpful. The pub was recently taken over by St Austell Brewery, so there's a good range of their beers, plus a couple of guest ales. This includes one local beer brewed in Branscombe. It's quaint, delicious, comfy and sits in one of the most stunning areas of the Devon coast. It is, quite simply, a perfect pub.

Great little village Pub with amazing food as well as comfortable rooms with friendly staff…read more Stayed during first week of our vacation to southern England,rooms were small but comfortable with all the amenities you could need. Dinner is more than just run of the mill pub grub,although that is available, the chef has the talents to make all things wonderful. In addition to the standard "pub fare," there are amazing specials that disprove the stereotypes of bland British foods. Worth a try! The location couldn't be better either, small quiet english village within easy traveling distance to many attractions within and around Somerset region of England.

I remember looking longingly at the outdoor patio and what could only be barbeque equipment cloaked under plastic cover before entering the pub. If only the weather was nicer, I am sure the place would be buzzing with people drooling over the grill. Although we didn't arrive until 2:15pm after a wet and windy walk at the nearby Seatown, the staff cheerfully accepted our order (their last food order for lunch is 2:30pm). My boyfriend had the venison burger, I had the Chideock Scotch egg, and my friend had the goat cheese salad. Everything was prepared with great care and perfectly seasoned. It was fantastic value for money too, with the bill coming in just under £30 for three people with some food and a drink each. I highly recommend a quick (or slow!) bite here for those in the area.

All home cooked food, quickly prepared and brought to your table. There is a menu of light meals but more substantial offerings are on a blackboard above the bar, such as: roast pork with vegetables, Boeuf Bourguignon with vegetables or cauli/broccoli cheese crumble with/without new potatoes to name a few. There's also a special puddings menu. Delicious coffee is served with Pringle type mint chocolates. Prices are very reasonable. Upstairs is a complete surprise, with lots of comfy chairs and books to browse. This floor leads onto a large decked, roofed area which would be ideal in the summer of a leisurely evening drink. The loos are great too! Well behaved dogs allowed and are even given a few chews as a reward. Highly recommended.
