The Countryman Inn, Dorchester

A large country pub just off the main road from which it's clearly signposted. The building and its layout are well described by Old Blue, below. There is plenty of parking, although the locals take an interest in how you arrive – or maybe they had never seen a motorcycle before. The clientele were mainly the younger autochthotons using the pool table, there was a dartboard next to the pool table, and there were dog biscuits on the bar. Six ales on draft were Tribute, Sharp's Doombar and Atlantic, Pride and Sea Fury, plus Flack's Double Drop disguised as a house beer. The beer was in poor condition, much of it insipid and poorly kept. A pity, as it's a decent enough pub which is let down by its beer quality.
