What a great pub! 4 ales on the bar, and not one of them Doom Bar (a pleasant surprise in this town). Breweries getting the nod here are Otter, Hop Back, Sambrooks and Woodshedding, who I presume are local. I was charged just £4.20 for my initial pint, which reinforced my initial positive impressions.

Internally, you've got flagstone floors and a multitude of wooden tables across several rooms. There's a bit more space outside as well.

I happily stayed for a couple before the 5 minute stroll to the station. If some of the folk in here could be dissuaded from playing noisy nonsense on their phones, it'd be even better.

Multi-roomed old pub with good range of beers and noted for food. Slightly disappointed as aiming a bit too much at the tourist market, but nonetheless well worth a visit. Cask Marque listed and regular Good Beer Guide entry.

Always features heavily in our regular Sherborne crawls - which have, more than once, started here and stayed here for the whole session! Always a good and varying selection of ales to be had and, even though it gets manic on Friday and Saturday evenings, you rarely have to wait to get served as the bar staff are so efficient. Brilliant pub.

Today's offerings - Otter Bitter (£2.20), Deuchers IPA (£2.40), Stonehenge Ale's Pigswill (£2.50) and Layden Brewery's Raglan Sleeve (£2.60). All were in most excellent condition.
