All the rooms have been built in rustic brick and are situated around an attractive courtyard to the rear of the pub, separate from the hubbub of the main building.

Went for New years eve. Sat near restaurant entrance, new baby and dog next tables. Very bright lights ,cheap serviettes, plastic table cloth. Veg served all together in what looked like a cafe bowl. It was all like school dinners. Tepid ,salty and bag salad leaves. Not impressed. Very abrupt waiter kept asking, "all right" .

Amazing and large portions of locally sourced food from the owners farm and surroundings. The beef cut like butter and twice baked soufflé was a cheesy dream. Highly recommended for high quality English pub food. Very friendly and helpful staff. Dog friendly. Set in charming village. Will be back again :-)

A really lovely find in Tarrant Monkton, very much off the beaten track in the middle of the Dorset countryside. A beautiful setting and a lovely place to sit and enjoy the summer sunshine. We sat on the front terrace of the pub surrounded by tubs of flowers, and enjoyed a coffee and pint of Guinness to wash down a Ploughman’s lunch. Limited lunchtime menu, but the rest of the menu looked great. Mildly pricey, but for the quality and location, it seemed reasonable. We will definitely be visiting again.

Home cooked food at reasonable prices and friendly attentive staff. Dogs not allowed in main restaurant, but OK elsewhere. Outside seating available with wooden tables and benches, but although individually covered it can get a bit chilly if windy. Blankets can be provided. Plenty of parking. The village is quiet and peaceful.
There is a ford to cross if driving from the A354 which can sometimes be difficult to drive through after heavy rain, but this can be avoided by circling the village.
St Rumbolds church next door is worth a visit.
