My local for the week. Will add comments after we have dined there.

Traditional village local - with a room to the left for dining and a room to the right for drinking. Central hatch manned by a "greeter". Three Palmers on - Gold, IPA and Copper.... plus a still cider Dorset First Press on handpull.

Lovely inglenook fireplace on the drinking side. Fairy lights and horse brasses on the low beams.

Perfect for my weeks needs!

Update after dining: We had two meals there - both excellent. All meals seem to come in small or regular sizes. The portions are huge, so probably would consider the small if you are having starters/pudding. The Sunday Lunch was excellent. Mid Week menu traditional pub grub but well served.
