FOOD AND DRINK
Our restaurant and bar offer a diverse seasonal menu, focused on delivering the best in modern British Cuisine. We attempt to gather as much local Dorset produce as possible from fresh organic veg to locally sourced Beef. In the warmer months we have outdoor events in the garden and serve a range of classic pub food from the grill and BBQ. Our indoor dining areas are available for weddings and private functions and our bar has a fine range of award winning local beers and comprehensive wine list.
