"On our recent visit to Portesham we used the pub 3 times. Visit one: the roast was delicious, would definitely recommend it if you are visiting on a Sunday. The rhubarb crumble was nice but felt it was a little on the small side, however after the roast it was enough but might not be if you have a smaller dinner Visit two: A lunchtime visit, I had the burger which appeared to be homemade, it had a good flavour came with chips so a decent meal for the afternoon. I had a scoop raspberry a scoop of lemon sorbet for pudding, both were fruity refreshing Visit three: This was a little disappointing, we had all picked the steak for dinner to be told it wasn't available, we weren't told on arrival so we were all a bit gutted to be told this on ordering, as the menu was limited we all pretty much had what we ate on the lunch visit earlier in the week. All in all though a decent dog friendly pub which has a good selection of drinks a huge garden for those sunny afternoons/evenings"

Very good food and choice of beer. New decking since previous visit making outdoor seating even better than before. Large garden and dog friendly. Another pub that must be popular with locals.

This amazing pub is located in the heart of the village and features a spacious outdoor terrace with a lovely garden. The Sunday roast was expertly prepared, with generous portions of high-quality meat and a wonderful selection of vegetables. The vegan option also received high praise. The staff were friendly, and the service was excellent. With a great selection of beers, this pub is definitely worth a visit!

The food was fantastic and affordable. The drinks were excellent as well, especially the local apple wine. Although we had a reservation, it seemed to have been overlooked, and we ended up sitting in the bar area next to some friendly locals. It was enjoyable, but a bit loud, and we felt somewhat neglected at first, which made the service a little slow. However, when the waiter noticed us, he was attentive and very helpful. The garden area looked lovely, although it was too chilly for us that evening. I would definitely return and choose to sit outside next time.

We visited this excellent pub when near Abbotsbury, and it had a great upscale casual vibe with indoor and outdoor seating, and tasty food. The kitchen for dinner opens at 6, but opportunity for drinks beforehand. The mains include two vegetarian options, and the halloumi burger was great. Service was good even with being extremely busy. The toilets were slightly confusingly named Gulls and Buoys for Girls and Boys, but guessed correctly. (Thank goodness hadn't had too much to drink! Parking is on the neighborhood streets. There weren't tons of spots, but we had no issues. View menu

The menu was concise, which I appreciated, but it offered a tempting selection. We chose to share a couple of boards and were thrilled with our meals—they were presented beautifully and were exceptionally tasty. The drink selection was impressive too, with a custom menu of premium gins and rums that we really enjoyed. The only small downside was that we felt a bit overlooked. As the only customers seated indoors (thanks to the lovely weather), it should have been table service, but we often had to go to the bar to get the attention we needed during our meal. I’d recommend dropping the table service during quieter days! Overall, I would definitely return if we're nearby.

"This spot is a lovely spot for lunch and it was fully booked on the day we arrived. Drinks arrived promptly and the service was fairly brisk, very friendly This is also a dog friendly pub with several tables bringing their well behaved mutt along. Whilst service was friendly there was no later 'follow up ' to check if everything was ok once the food had arrived and we got stuck in. Really disappointed to find that the tempura cod starter had run out. The lamb and mint coquettes were a little bizarre they tasted of duck not lamb so we did wonder if there had been a swap with the lamb running out and the duck leg being substituted? The sirloin roast beef (in the Sunday Lunch was very well cooked, pink, soft and very succulent. Excellent. The Yorkshire puddings were enormously risen, very dark brown to the point of being overdone but sadly virtually tasteless. The roast potatoes seem to have the taste and consistency of being reheated which was another disappointment. Top marks for the cooking of the carrots which were sweet, tender and full of flavour; the same for the french beans and sugar snap peas excellent care of these quick cooking veg. The rib eye steak whilst cooked beautifully cooked was pretty tough and unyielding and I kept looking longingly at the roast sirloin. I can only guess the cow that supplied the rib eye was stressed out and full of adrenaline at slaughter? A nice portion of tasty broccoli cheese but disappointingly cooked (reheated? chips. The 'hand pulled ' ? ale was cloudy and defo needs some TLC all in all pleasant lunch but nothing to write home about. Thank you to the chef for giving so much care to cooking the veg and the roast sirloin (but not for the pre prepared chips, roast potatoes and yorkshire puddings"
