Decided the "oldest pub in Sherborne" was a better bet than the White Hart over the road and its take it or leave it offer of Doom Bar. The bar here offered a three-up choice of Pride, Landlord or my first pint of "Courage" Directors in many years - a little hazy, but perfectly fine. The 4th pump was badged for a cider.
Furnishing was as traditional as the beer - all carpet and tables. Food is offered lunchtimes and early evenings. The only downside really was a severe shortage of punters, though I was in during the quiet "late afternoon, but not quite evening yet" period.
A reasonable option - I'd come again if I ever found myself in town.

Described as the oldest pub in Sherborne,this is a charming town centre establishment which is a Marston's tied house.There is no sign of a hotel operation these days,and although the outside has had a modern paint decoration ,the interior is authentic and traditional.There is an open plan bar room,with a real fire to the left side of the bar,a restaurant area to the far left and seating around the bar with two very pleasant seating areas in two bay windows.There is a pool table to the right infront of an inglenook which is not used these days ,probably because it is sited in a lower pit and if alight may catch unwary weavers after a heavy session !
There are 4 handpumps,one dedicated to a cider (Rosie Pig) with ,on my trip Marston's portfolio real ale Hobgoblin Gold,Ringwood Best and Forty Niner (in good shape).
This is a friendly ,laid back pub worth popping into and thankfully hasn't been refurbed or gone gastro.I enjoyed my visit.

Old pub at top of town but not quite sure what to make of it. The appeal of the floral displays and bric-a-brac on the walls is somewhat lessened by a prominent pool table. Offerings included a couple of Ringwood beers, but not impressed with the quality of that sampled, even though Cask Marque listed. Room for improvement.
