Hello, and thanks for visiting our website.

Situated in the peaceful Dorset village of West Knighton near Dorchester, our English Heritage listed public house offers everyone a warm welcome. Why not pop in for a refreshing ale, a cup of coffee and a sandwich, or even a delicious pub lunch whilst enjoying a scenic country walk in the surrounding area? Alternatively, we serve full evening meals in our modern dining area, and our carvery is famous with the locals – we’d love to see you one Sunday.

We use the best ingredients from local suppliers to produce both seasonal fine-dining menus as well as offering good old-fashioned pub grub. And, having just undertaken an extensive refurbishment to create a bright and beautiful bar and restaurant, we’ve still retained the charm of a village inn – honouring our roots, which date back to 1851.

Please see below for details of our Bed and Breakfast accommodation, ready and waiting for those wishing to explore Dorset.

I had a great experience here with the family, great beer and ale selection friendly team. Fantastic country views. Great for a Sunday carvery. Food was amazing. Dog friendly as well which is a bonus. Children friendly awesome. The only pick up point would have liked some crackerling with my pork. But, not the end of the world.
