The Brace of Pheasants is a thatched country pub with a charming rural atmosphere and excellent food sourced locally ? including game, as you?d hope with a name like that.Food & drinks: Lovely roast dinner with family for Mother?s Day. Delicious pork crackling ?

My home away from home! I cannot imagine going to Dorset without staying at Brace. It?s very special, the owners are the best and everything about it is, honestly, one of a kind!

This must be one of the most enjoyable pubs in Dorset, or even n the UK. Incredibly charming venue, situated just north of Dorchester, but in the heart of the countryside for the most amazing walks.Mike and team were just exceptional in so many ways. We turned up late, with 3 tired and hungry children and a wet dog, we had brilliantly quick service and food that they adored.We had the prawn twisters (which sadly the kids also loved), the game rarebit, beef pie, fish pie, pheasant amongst other bits. It was all perfect. Nicely cooked, hearty, but more interesting and enjoyable than usual pub fare.The wine list was wonderfully varied with some really lovely bottles on it. And the secret wine menu with magnums and high end burgundy! Sadly we didn?t get to this but we can?t wait to go back and try!!Thanks so much for a brilliant lunch. We can?t wait to come back.Walkability: Some lovely loop walks around the area.Food & drinks: Amazing quality and value.

Booked as a surprise meal for my parents anniversary meal (informed the restaurant as such) but no nice extras or effort for it. Disappointing.
