The Antelope Inn in North Dorset

Slight revamp behind the bar, new staff & pub puppy but still as ever... Great village pub with nice sunny garden. Dog friendly, family run, super friendly, great beer. What more could you ask for!

This pub should not be serving food. We had what was without any doubt the worst food experience we've ever had in the UK. My partner's "beef burger" was just that: an overcooked dry patty on a stale bun with nothing else. The chips were half raw. The most interesting items on the menu were unavailable so I ended up resorting to "chicken pebbles (5 miserable tiny chicken nuggets) with "soured honey" (ketchup). The "dressed salad" was not dressed at all and looked like it came out of the bottom of the vegetable drawer. Our dog could have cooked us a better meal than this. Never again.

This was easily the worst food experience my partner and I ever had, and it's not even close. The drinks were fine, no complaints there. We were tucked away from the rest of the pub, which I didn't mind all that much but it did make the place feel more like a locals place. I ordered a burger that was literally just that, a burger bought from a supermarket and put in between a stale bread roll. The coleslaw that came with it was a teaspoon's worth out of a pot and the chips (the highlight of the meal) were simple oven chips that were somehow either overdone or still frozen. What was even more ridiculous was my partner's meal, 'chicken pebbles with soured honey' which constituted five deep fried miniature chicken nuggets with some sugary liquid which apparently people are meant to pay a fiver for. The garden salad was just as ludicrous, a smattering of lettuce, carrot and radishes that came straight from a bag with some kind of invisible dressing because it was non-existent. To top it off, it took nearly an hour for it to be served. In summary, I cannot stress enough how awful it was and I shan't ever be visiting The Antelope ever again.

Wonderful warm welcome on a wet Night! Lab loved the fire, we loved our meal and chatting to the staff!

The Antelope Inn accepted us without a booking (even though they were busy) - the first thing that impressed me. Not a lot of choice (with the food) but what we had was really nice. Staff was lovely too. A really good traditional pub. Thoroughly recommend it.

Went for lunch on a Saturday after a recommendation from a friend and was not disappointed. Beautiful old pub, sympathetically restored serving very good food and beer.

Lovely friendly old traditional pub, great atmosphere, food and wine, stayed here for one night in our Motorhome, very accommodating, wish all places were this welcoming.

The food was very good and a very reasonable priced. The staff were also polite and friendly. Our dog was also made very welcome.

The best pub food I've ever had. Had beef & Guinness pie and it was to die for. The gravy was especially delicious.Great selction on tap, something for everyone behind the bar.Gorgeous outdoor seating and lovely interior.

Excellent pub grub and really friendly and attentive service. Love this place.
