Soak up our friendly service and homely charm when nestled in this welcoming pub located in the heart of Stanpit village on Dorset's south coast.

We love our coastal location and our bar pays tribute to this with a fittingly traditional nautical theme! Dogs are welcome and we've got a large car park for visitors and plenty of seating space. Our traditional pub classics are expertly crafted from our seasonal menus and the bar is crammed with local ales and tipples to tempt any taste buds. Using the most seasonal ingredients and decadent flavours, there's a dish for every desire.

My husband and I booked at short notice, we both had the sea bass fillets on a bean risotto. It was delicious and although the young lady seemed to be serving on her own, we weren't ignored, she was very accommodating. We will definitely be back.

Enjoyed a tasty meal in pleasant garden (the restaurant indoors looked very nice too) - good menu provided by friendly folk Handy for an enjoyable afternoon meal followed by a lovely country walk around Stanpit Marshes. Will be pleased to return! Many thanks

Friendly staff, good food at good prices. Very well kept bar/restaurant. Easy to manoeuvre around. Easy to get to as it’s not in the town centre.

Food was great had the Sunday lunch, was delicious and so much on the plate for the cost. Other people had the belly of pork and was so tender and delicious. Rump steak a bit chewy. Great setting staff attentive and friendly. 10/10 will definitely go back, on holiday here from Australia visiting family in the area.
