Its not awfully busy but it has kept its charm when compared to other establishments, probably only a matter of time before its converted. Its a bit out of the way but worth a visit. Had another visit following the other review on Qype. have to say the food was really very good value. The pub has been refreshed and is now light an airy. Well worth a visit.

We've been a number of times both in the evenings and during the daytime, absolutely great both for a place to have a more serious meal (the chef has trained in Paris apparently) and a place to take the kids- they have a pets area with farm animals etc. really good, worth a visit

A recent Sunday lunch did roast lamb or chicken with all the trimmings, including seven - count 'em - vegetables. This is hearty rural fare for farmers and walkers!I couldn't face such a mountain of food, and plumped for smoked haddock with crushed potato and wilted spinach, in a delicious creamy sauce. This showed the touch of someone in the kitchen who knew what they were doing, and was able to do more than traditional home cooking, welcome as that is. Dessert was an unusual take on a crumble. Warm and cosy environment, and despite being winter they were full. With a bottle of Dorset wine, and coffees, the three course meal for four came to £107 - very reasonable. This is a gem of a place. And there is ample hill and coastal Dorset countryside around for you to walk off the excess afterwards, or to work up an appetite beforehand. Go before they get too popular.

A more mature clientele and laid back decor makes it much more my bag. So, to food. Over the last ten days I've eaten crevettes, John Dory and a very 1980s baked Camembert. All extremely well prepared, very tasty and reasonably priced. Table staff are friendly and helpful, the view is beautiful and there are deals on groups dishes if you can agree on the same thing. I'm particularly interested to try the paella for four with a bottle of wine (£60 - 12 Aug 15). It looks like the car park is often busy, but there are normally spaces. Just don't park in the way of the enormous boat lift, it's a working boatyard remember!
