Charming
Dog-friendly
Great for craft beers

The Shepherd & Dog has maintained all the traditions you would expect in a country pub but has added some lovely touches. The fabulous Sunday Roast on offer from noon, last bookings at 6 PM is just one example that will delight your taste buds.

Locally sourced, seasonal food menus showcasing the best of the local area. Craft beers are all local, exclusive or unusual in some way - no run of the mill here!

We look forward to seeing you soon.

Great building nestling under the downs in a small village. We had the pub basic Fish and Chips portion size was good, not too large so you could think about a pud. And the Minted lamb pie, This was a little like Blind Scouse. the meat content was minimal and very little gravy. It was served with mashed potatoes which were pureed to a fine cream. No good for mopping up the gravy that should have been in the pie. Menu was very limited. Would I go again YES YES excellent beers and ciders. Possible a better pub for a summer lunch than an evening meal.

A lovely pub, everything good. Well worth a visit. I just think they should add some heat lamps to the outside area. It would make a massive difference!

Service was chaotic. We often asked for things and they took a long time arrive. Staff were polite and friendly but there was a lack of organization to how they were operating.

Our 3rd visit. Quality still as good and very friendly service but the food took a long time to come this time and our starter never even arrived. Will go back again though. Love this place. Prices a bit steep but sadly that’s everywhere now.
