What clubworldzilla doesn't like about The Dolphin:
Popped in for a couple of pints enroute. Decent car park and garden. Inside the pub seems to be segregated for food eaters and drinkers. The drinkers are afforded a skinny area by the bar with not much to look at except for the magnolia and views through to those lucky enough to be allowed to sit in the eating area...even though tables were empty. The bar staff were confused with an order for just two drinks- clearly... View all feedback. What robynn853 likes about The Dolphin:
Went to the Dolphin for some lunch, we had the chicken the pie, excellent choice! Couldn’t get over how much meat was in the pie! Great atmosphere and service. Will definitely be returning and recommending to friends and family. View all feedback.

Best pub meal I have had in years. Had the rib eye (the peppercorn sauce was excellent) and sticky toffee pudding. Will definitely be back.

Despite this being our local pub, a poor dining experience a few years ago (with the previous owners) rather put us off. However, having learned that the curren...
