Recently reopened after a few months’ closure, this excellent wet-led roadside pub is on the main road through Chideock but not at all ruined by tourism. There is a long, carpeted main bar at the front with a stone fireplace at either end. There is a smaller dining area at the rear, though this room had less character than the main bar. A small garden at the back is relatively comfortable and private although there is still some traffic noise. The pubs interior is light and airy despite its traditional feel. The WiFi was a bit hit and miss, but that didn’t really matter as the landlady was entertaining enough, and the two locals in were pleasant and friendly. The ales on were Otter Bitter, Otter Amber and Doombar, complemented by Pravha, Guinness, Golden Cap Lager, Offshore Pilsner, Thatcher’s Gold and Haze, and Madri, and more importantly, two boxed local ciders. A board at the bar announced forthcoming guest ales. Well worth stopping for drinks, but there is currently no food.

A curiosity visit and the first and only pub visited in Dorset that didn't have Palmers. I went for a decent pint of Otter, but really should have had the local from Burton Braunston.
A few diners but a very reserved a quiet atmosphere for a saturday night.

Old Boots left this review about The Clock House Hotel
A serious games pub with a games area at one end of the pub containing six darts boards, table football and fruit machines, there is also another darts board in the main bar and table skittles is also played here. A range of well kept beers from local micro Otter, plus a standard range of kegs for the less adventurous holiday makers. Food led but still a locals pub, the mantle-piece is groaning under the weight of darts trophies and there is a thriving charity book club where people swap books for a small donation, hence piles of books in odd corners. There is also a small collection of wall clocks. Behind the main bar is a raised section used for dining and an odd shaped staircase and corridor affair leading to the toilets and rear car park. Friendly and mainly attentive staff but occasionally it looks like the Marie Celeste behind the bar.
