Another quality Palmers House. Quiet on a Sunday Afternoon. In a change from the 200, I went for the Best Bitter. It was also excellent, although I would stick to the 200. A perfect village pub.

This largeish old pub offers the full Palmers range – Copper Ale, Best, Dorset Gold, 200 (at £3.60), and Tally Ho (£3.70). There are a fish menu and a daily specials board, with mains starting at around £8.95. You enter via the main bar area, and can walk round to the restaurant room on the right if you are eating. In doing so you pass a curious table whose supports are the two ends of a bed. The walls are adorned with a combination of framed old photos of the local area, and modern wildlife prints which available to buy. The ‘goshawk in snow’ disappeared during the week, but my enquiry confirmed it had fallen off the wall rather than being sold. To the rear are a heated patio area and a grassed garden. This is a local ‘all rounder’ village pub, in that it provides well for drinkers and diners, locals and visitors, and I liked it as such.
