The Old Inn is a traditional country pub in the heart of the idyllic village of Holt. Situated close to the historic town of Wimborne Minster, The Old Inn is the perfect destination when you fancy a homemade, traditional pub meal. With real fires, a beautiful garden and fantastic service, this pub is definitely worth a visit. We have worked hard to put together a menu that offers something for everyone. Everything is freshly prepared at the Old Inn, from our Chicken Liver paté, to children’s chicken nuggets. We pride ourselves that all of our meals are traditionally cooked using largely locally sourced ingredients and our seasonal specials are definitely worth looking at too, as well as our delicious desserts! We aim to provide a prompt, efficient and friendly service and we can cater for all types of parties.

From the Fried Brie and Cranberry to the fillet steak and last but not least the incredible pecan pie! Everything was amazing, highly recommend, will be returning very soon

It took at least an hour after ordering our meal before it arrived, I understand kitchens are busy but it was 45 minutes before anybody apologized for having to wait.

                                                                                                Is this helpful?
