It is rather pleasant with original beams and dark wood. The bar is curved and it's rather nice to see all the bottles behind the bar. The staff are very friendly. Slightly less so are the 'locals'. Last time we were there, we both had puddins, the sticky toffee. I had it with cream, because I'm like that. And Pimms. Although not the bestest ever, it was a good sticky pudding. I came away feeling nicely full too. I think this is just about my favourite pub in Wimborne. It's got a friendly feel and the music suits me and it's not too loud. Very pleasant frontage too.

Really nice little pub in the centre of Wimborne. They have a real ale selection, nice old…read morefashioned atmosphere, and even a little beer garden tucked away at the back. This place is normally pretty busy on a Friday or Saturday night, and maybe even a little 'edgy' for my tastes, but still a very pleasant pub.

The food is excellent and I just love their home cured ham salad in the summer served in a huge dish. The lamb shank is delicious. Reasonable prices and friendly, helpful staff.

I like this pub but it's not really the first place I think of. Usually we choose it for location when meeting friends from the other direction. Always busy, never loud.

It has some climbing equipment for children. Indoors is also large and well laid out. No one crowds anyone. There is also a room for children. I had my daughter's birthday party here for about four years - to save on stress, work, and anxiety! The staff are great about lighting the candles in the kitchen etc and cutting the cake etc. In those few years we just had one nosebleed! It's become a Brewers Fayre, so the food is fairly predictable. It's just that they do it really nicely. Because it's an old faithful. I haven't been for a while - I want to really enjoy coming back here when I do.

Low ceilings, horse brasses, nooks & cranies for a cosy pint. Masses of flowers in summer, real fire in winter, a few benches outside and parking.

The landlady is very friendly and hospitable and has a French accent. The menu is fairly small but with quite a few sections, starters, mains, desserts, side dishes, baked potatatoes etc. And it is very reasonably priced. I haven't given this a fifth star because if business is minimal, last orders will be at 9.30. This is fair enough but it can bring a sudden halt to a good conversation. I didn't see the toilets, but I would hazard a guess that they are clean, like the rest of the pub.

This place is actually quite fun on a weekend, and they seem to regular have a disco. What I like most is that the crowd seem to be regulars, the decor is pretty sparse, but functional, and the ale selection is good.

It's a good place to meet friends and have a game, the only trouble is that it's fairly popular so there may be a wait. The pub overall is fairly small being very narrow and the bar almost stretching all along one side. You don;t generally see many children in the pub, but it is more of a traditional country mans pub rather than a family experience. The staff always appear friendly enough but they certainly don't go the extra mile on anything.
