Visited at lunchtime and had some food and a couple of drinks. Very nice old style pub which I love good selection of food and drink at decent prices though I'd like to see more of the local cerne abbas brewery beers on draught.The food and drink were excellent and the staff very friendly. Will most certainly return the next time I'm in the area.

A good honest pub serving good honest pub food at a good price. Excellent friendly service - will come again.Parking: Parking might be tricky in the summer so don?t be afraid to walk. It?s not a big village and it?s popular with visitors.

Popped in for some quick easy food whilst staying in the village. Fabulous welcoming staff, clean tables, and delicious egg and chips (other food looked good too). Just what we needed. Thankyou!

Great atmosphere and food is fantastic. Really worth a visit after a good dogwalk around the giant. Dogs very welcome too ?

We dropped in for lunch and were warmly greeted by the best example of a Pub Landlady I have ever met. She was absolutely excellent, greeted us warmly, knowledgeable about the area and showed us to a table that was clean, of a suitable size and well spaced from other diners. The food, which was excellent (huge portions), arrived very quickly. Everything was clean and homely in a very friendly way. Certainly will be visiting again.

6 of us had Sunday lunch here after walk around the Giant! Staff so friendly and helpful - shared starters which were really interesting / especially black pudding with a blue cheese salad and a dish with wonderful Halloumi. Most had main course of generous servings of traditional roast pork with all the trimmings - plus Yorkshire pud! (Always a bonus!!) Others had scampi and chips which they rated highly ! Good beers. A highlight was post lunch game of skittles in the wonderful traditional skittle alley. In a charming village with 3 pubs (!) this was the best! (They even helped us sort out a light for the fire in the cottage we were staying in! ) Couldn?t have asked for more - thank you to the team!

We loved this friendly pub, we'll go back next time we're in Cerne Abbas. It has a great atmosphere, locals at the bar as well as tourists like us, and they were so kind and welcoming even though we had a teething, unhappy 8 month old with us. We loved the food which was delicious and plentiful, with vegetarian option for those who wanted it - I had a divine rissotto with goat's cheese, and the 8 month old loved the vegetables from our plates - they cheered him up! n.b. High chair was provided. Oh yes - the beer is fab too ;-)
