Still the best Sunday roast we've found in the area.Large pieces of well hung tasty beef, crispy roast potatoes, yorkshires, proper gravy and 8 more well cooked vegetables.Excellent local ale too.So pleased to be back after the long absence and just as good as always.

Every seat taken out side on a Thursday lunch time speaks for itself . Most people were eating . Our walking group arrived early so found a table in the shade for 9 people no problem.Service was good and food arrived quite quickly. Friendly bar staff.

A great traditional style pub serving good food & also lovely beers that are brewed in the village by award winning Branscombe Brewery.

·

Great local cider, lovely stop after walking the coastal path. Shame missed food times tho.

Wow! This is an amazing pub and I would fully recommend it to anyone in the village or visiting and it’s the best in Branscombe. Here are some of the amazing positives about the place:- Dogs are allowed outside and there is undercover seating. I also believe there allowed inside but not fully sure.- There is table service with good waiters.- A good restroom, but could with updating really.- Good prices.The pub has so many positives and no negatives really! They do a good specials menu and desserts.I would 100% recommend this pub to anyone. Thank you.

Historical building dating back centuries, although this particular incarnation looks Edwardian. The outside belies the traditional inside, with plain frontage, but a large open log fire and well worn flagstones produce a wonderful atmosphere for weary walkers, families and the odd football fan or two who wanted to watch the England games on a telly erected in the beer garden (this is not a sports bar). Outside seating is on solid wooden chairs, positioned around large tables, easily seating six people around each, and a quirk to their position is that a bridleway has right of access through the middle, suggesting an ancient route to this amazing pub. Beer is excellent, using Branscombe Brewery ales and ciders, which has produced small scale local ales since 1992. Wicked Weasel cider @4.7% is a true drinker's cider, albeit marginally strong, whose taste is a lovely reminder of licking cider ice lollies after school on hot summer days. The food looks gorgeous every time it appears, with exceptional taste and portion size, my only criticism being that it's priced slightly high. However, if you don't want to eat and snack instead there's a variety of crisps, pork scratchings, chocolate bars and nuts on offer. Payment can be made by cash or card. Altogether a fantastic little find, sitting nicely between campsites, airfield, beach and A3052. Parking can be difficult in a small, gradiented, rustic carpark, but I've seen cars parked in the field next door, although don't know if this is official. Give it a go as I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as us.
