The Square & Compass in Purbeck

Brilliant (award winning) interior, stunning views, expansive beer garden, and good menu of cider and beer, with pasties, veg pie or cake to snack. Up a lot of hills if cycling!

Lovely country pub with simple straight from the cask pouring local ales. Amazing atmosphere and lovely pies, pasties, cakes etc.Beer is very nice... not really craft beer so to speak, more traditional English ales, but such fresh, good quality stuff that you'll enjoy it very much anyway even if you usually drink and American hopped IPA. Cider is what they do best!!! Lots of choice and bloody great ciders here.Great views and nice garden and open, outside area with plant of space. Kids and dogs welcome too.

Popped in for a pint and a pasty on our walk from dancing ledge along our circular walk along the coast. Plenty of seats outside. Lovely views of the coast. Seemed very popular as busy but lovely all the same. Small free musuem attached which is worth a look.

Lovely place and quite busy when we cane here, plenty of choices of ciders and beers and other drinks, they also serve pasties here as a food choice which were delicious.

Charming 300 year old pub with a magnificent view to the channel along saxon instigated dry wall fence lines. Only food is basic but very traditional pasties and the beer - sime pulled directly from the kegs

Easter Sunday drinks with a view! Great Dorset pub, one of my favourites. Always a great atmosphere in the beer garden that looks out towards the sea. Pasties very good too - grab a pint of cider and a pasty and just relax!

A lovely country pub with loads of history and low doorways. It's seem very popular, selling local ales and food. It even has a small fossil museum.Will definitely be back.

Hadn't been here for over 40 years - so lovely to find it exactly as I remembered it. Lovely fire, food, and welcoming bar staff. A proper pub. ❤️

Great scenic pub in a beautiful small village.Perfect spot for a pint and pastie on a coastal walk.Brilliant wooden outdoor seating which really makes the difference on a sunny day.Highly recommend

Very friendly pub situated in the delightful village of Worth Matravers. A fine selection of real ales sit weirdly but beautifully alongside an equally fine collection of fossils and other historical artefacts. I tried a local Swanage ale (Hattie Brown's HBA), and it was excellent. Near Corfe Castle and superbly located for walking the beautiful Jurassic coastline, the pub is a must-visit. Despite its small size and remote location I found it a buzzing hive of activity on a Monday lunchtime in October.
