This vibrant inn was formerly the Plumbers Arms, renamed after a legendary local smuggler, and is situated in the historic town centre near the Priory Church and Castle. Continuing the theme it features paintings of locals throughout the smuggling era. It is rugby union-oriented and supports East Dorset RFC. Great bar food is available lunchtimes and evenings with speciality fish dishes served in the adjoining shack. The large paved patio area with sheltered alcoves is a must in the summer. Live music plays several nights per week.
