Top Places and Services in Tarrant monkton, Dorset

The pubs staff were friendly and funny, not just robots and also not too cheeky it becomes weird.

The portions were the size youd give yourself at a buffet.

The price was fine. And the menu had a decent selection.

I had the pie and it almost had more stake than my girlfriends ribeye. Highly recommend.

A Dorset gem. I've only ever had the Sunday Carvery here because it's fantastic value (£14.50) and absolutely delicious. I always end up asking for a box so there is bubble and squeak to go home with!
The staff are great and friendly. I'd say this is a proper pub and Sunday lunch experience! Booking very much recommended they are popular.

We had drinks, dinner and then stayed over in our motorhome and it was absolutely wonderful! The food was exceptional, the service was excellent and the pub and beer garden are great. We were made to feel very welcome and would definitely recommend!

We went there yesterday as a group of 15 and they were absolutely brilliant. We had the skittle alley to ourselves so the kids could play with the selection of toys in there which worked perfectly. We had a variety of meals across the table and everyone said how delicious it was. The pork belly bites as a starter were a definite stand out. Thank you to all the lovely team who served us.

I have driven past this pub on more occasions than I could probably mention and always said must try that one. Well today was the day and so pleased that I did!
I can honestly say this was one of the best (if not the best) pub food I have ever had.
Our table of four all had different dishes and every single one was outstanding quality with a generous portion.
Personally I opted for the ploughman's asking for it without the meat element which wasn't a problem at all. An excellent selection, fresh and tasty.
I would highly recommend booking, even for lunch, as it was busy, and it's really not surprising why. The service was friendly and a good pub atmosphere made it a great experience and all at a fair price too.
This will most definitely not be the last visit to this highly recommended Dorset pub. If you haven't been then add it to your 'must visit' list, but don't leave it as long as I did.
