A first pub venture for new licensees who have returned to a more traditional pub style as opposed to the former eatery. Bikers night on Wednesdays. A loyalty card card system is in place. NOTE Wainwrights Gold Ale, served via a handpump is not Real Ale. It is a brewery-conditioned keg beer but misleadingly uses a normal handpump for distribution.

Misleading Dispense

This venue has been flagged by CAMRA volunteers as using a misleading dispense method to serve beer.

This is a 'Fresh Ale' - a keg beer served through a cask handpump. Find out more here Handpump Hijack.

If in doubt, we recommend that you Ask if it's Cask before making a purchase.

Information for this venue is provided by the West Dorset Branch of CAMRA
