"This is a review of 3 visits to the Countryman Inn over a weekFirst visit. We called in without booking for a Sunday Carvery at 4pm and was told we could eat and to find a seat, we were then handed a menu. After being ignored by the waiting staff we got the attention of a young lady who asked us if we had booked. We were then told she would not take the order as they were full despite the grounds being half empty. After leaving and then coming back the landlady she said as we were given a menu we could eat. The meal turned up in 10 minutes despite being told they were full. It was a 5 star meal. Second visit after making a booking. I had a home made steak and ale pie. The pie was small and the gravy was really lumpy so I gave it 3 stars. Third visit. We ordered drinks after being handed a menu in an all but empty pub garden again at 4pm. The drinks never turned up. After I wandered in the person who pours the drink said as she was confused by the order for a pint of beer and a small coke she had left it. Nice one!When the food finally turned up my lasagne was also small but it was very tasty. Overall the staff were shocking, while the carvery was good value and ample the meals during the week were small so overpriced."

Lovely pub with gorgeous food. Shannon was our waitress and couldn't have been more friendly, definitely a keeper and she paid loads of attention to our dogs. chicken strips with gravey are amazing and the garden was lovely.

Had reasonably good meal, all hot and served quickly. Courteous staff. Let down by overprice corporate beer Doom Bar London Pride nothing local. And at £4.10 a pint a bit steep. Still it is what it is. Not really a drinking pub, more of a restaurent.

We had a fantastic lunch in the garden of this lovely pub! Shannon and Charlie were amazing hosts, polite, very helpful, and provided super quick service. It was a bonus that it was a sunny day, but I would recommend this place regardless of the weather. We will definitely be returning. View menu

We visited lunchtime today with our family that we are visiting, we all enjoyed our food and myself and son-in-law enjoyed a couple of pints of Otter real ale, the grandchildren enjoyed the outdoor play area, the pub was great and all the staff very friendly and welcoming. We hope to visit again soon.

The menu advertised peri peri chicken with a jacket potato and salad, but what I received was a plain grilled piece of chicken, a few salad leaves, and a cold jacket potato, along with a side of peri peri sauce in a jug. My husband ordered a burger and chips, which looked small and haphazardly thrown together on the plate. This was the most overpriced and worst quality food we have ever had, with portions so small they were more suitable for children. The service was rushed and we were charged £11.50, which we felt was far too expensive for what we received. View menu

I have been frequenting this pub and surrounding area for several years and have enjoyed a few weekend getaways here. The staff is friendly and accommodating, the food is delicious, and they offer a wide variety of beers and ales. The rooms for rent are clean, nicely furnished, and the beds are very comfortable. There is a great selection of quality tea and coffee available for guests to enjoy in their rooms. Additionally, the location of the pub is ideal for visiting nearby attractions such as Lulworth, Wareham, Corfe Castle, and Dorchester. What more could you ask for?!

We stayed two nights here as a base to explore the area . Really happy we found this great place .. from the minute we checked in to the minute we left the landlord ,Justin ? and all the staff we met were friendly and helpful .. we felt nothing was too much trouble for them . The pub itself has a great beer garden both front and back and plenty of room inside . Our bedroom was large and comfortable with a high end range of tea and coffee in plentiful supply . Great menu that had a good selection to choice from . We ate in the pub both nights we stayed and the food was very good. (Though I was disappointed in the smashed avocado breakfast as the avocado was claggy and tasteless ,I should have...
