The Cock & Bottle

A cob-walled Dorset longhouse built some 400 years ago, the pub acquired a brick skin around 1800 and remained thatched until 1966. The original interiors are comfortably rustic with quaint, low-beamed ceilings, attractive paintings and lots of nooks and crannies around the log fires. Additional to the lively locals' bar are a lounge bar and modern rear restaurant extension. Lovely pastoral views over farmland include the pub's paddock, where vintage car and motorcycle meetings are occasionally hosted during the summer. Bar and light lunch menus are supported by a daily carte and Badger ales, and a children's choice is also available.
