   The food was excellent but the white wine was served warm which was strange! We had to ask for ice twice so that we could make the wine colder.

   This venue offers an interesting menu, consistently good food and friendly service. I've been a regular customer for some years now and will continue to be so.

   Friday lunchtime and a pleasantly busy buzz, but not noisy. Food and service first rate, highly recommended

   We had a very nice meal and good service, however we all felt very cold and asked for a nearby electric radiator to be turned on, which was done immediately without any fuss.

   We have been to the Dorset Arms many times over the past few years and the standard has been consistently good. Lovely warm friendly atmosphere, nice staff and good food. Always a pleasurable experience. We would have no hesitation recommending it to others. Thank you for a great Sunday lunch!

   We enjoyed our meal very much, the staff were nice but there were staff shortages in the kitchen which resulted in slow service. When we gently mentioned this they insisted on deducting the cost of our main meals from the bill. We did not want this but they were insistent. We would definitely return and recommend to our friends.

   Went on a Monday for lunch. There was a very long wait for our main course, and we think the food didn't represent good value for money compared to the other two pubs we tried in the area. The 'pheasant crumble' dish was too unusual and tasted average at best. Would have preferred a simple piece of roasted meat. The terrine starter was yummy.
