They offer pies and pasties, with the pies essentially being cheese and onion pasties. The food is excellent, although one pie may not be enough if you have been hiking, but two would be too much. They have a variety of local ales and a wide selection of house-brewed and other ciders. If you are on the Peninsular Isle of Purbeck, be sure to visit this pub. It is a must-visit destination with a museum showcasing random items that have been excavated or recovered from the area.
