After a period know as Tanner and Noah's Ark, this traditional high street boozer reverted back to its original name in 2018. It's still tied to Palmers, and it's still more of a sports bar than a proper pub, though they do now offer Sunday lunches. Only two ales on Dorset Gold and IPA, both in poor condition and served with a sneer by an apathetic young barmaid. Keg choices were Carlsberg, Moretti, Amstel and Dorset Pale. The decor is shabby, and you have to wade through a mat of soggy fag butts when you enter by the front door. There is a dartboard, multiple TV screens, a juke box and a dartboard. Not worth the effort.
