The Poet Laureate - West Dorset

We set ourselves, a group of four, in the middle of an icey hagelstorm ende april, and were immediately met with a warm welcome and a warm atmosphere in the poet laureate. what a pub. eating was exquisite, the drink was excellent, and the service was professional and attentive, but friendly and personal. After we had eaten, we were surprised, but pleased to be asked by the waitress what one of our party had thought of the squid as it was a new product on the menu, and the first night at which it was served, and the cook wanted our honest feedback. very courageous, so publicly asking such a question, but shows how much they want everything to be right and that was it. in spaten! a good selection on the menu, with some pub classics (when with a twist, a little better) mixed with some original aligning. after three curses and many drinks it was a joy to pay the bill that was very good for the wonderful evening we had.

Beautiful pub for eating and drinks! really wonderful staff! highly recommended as noble stone in poundbury! much better than the herzogin on the road! top notch carvery aswell

That was a surprise dinner of our family. would really recommend that the food was excellent, there was a very good choice and something different from the usual pub dug (and it was served on hot plates! and the service was very good, not rushed, but had not wait too long and they did not come to ask if everything was in order. I look forward to seeing you again soon. thanks for helping to make it a special anniversary.
