The Digby Tap, Sherborne

A real gem ,this is the place to drink in Sherborne.There is a small courtyard by the front door with seating and a perfect suntrap,the interior is split into multiple rooms with flagstone floors and a very traditional feel.The walls are wood panneled with authentic settles,tables and chairs with a modest sized bar.5 handpumps dispense a changing range of west country ales which on my visit were St Austells Proper Job and HSD,Cottage Brewing Jumpin' Jack,Teignworthy Neap Tide and an interesting lager style Chesil from the Dorset Brewery.Top marks for great beer quality.Lunchtime food is available and the 11am opening ensures a good crowd from the many visitors to this attractive town together with appreciative locals.A friendly place and a must visit.

The Digby Tap is a busy traditional market town pub. There is usually a good crowd outside as well as inside, a mix of ages, styles and professions/trades enjoying a beer in convivial company. Always a mix of ales on, and usually at least 3 or 4. I have just enjoyed a Deuchres (getting ready for my Scotland trip this week) and a Yeovil Spring (because I could). Always my first choice of pub in Sherborne as the beer is invariably superb and the other Sherborne pubs don't come up to the same standard. Well worth a visit.

A must vist pub if you are in Sherborne Real ale, pub grub etc, A proper pub!!
