Roadside pub on main Dorset artery offering ‘welcome’ break to seaside bound travellers. The pub was renamed ‘Sheaf of Arrows’ because the pub is referred to by that name in Thomas Hardy’s 1884 story ‘Interlopers at the Knap’. Two bars, one of which is dedicated to diners. Pleasant good-sized outdoor area (paved) for when the weather is good.
Enthusiastic and enterprising new licensees (2023) serving a changing choice of Real Ales.
Skittle alley / function room available for private hire.
The pub has had a makeover in contemporary colours but retaining a traditional style and decor.
Exceedingly keen prices for the area, including the very extensive menu to suit most palates.
Dogs welcome [.
