Great food and a lovely atmosphere! Thoroughly enjoyed my evening here with my family, can’t wait to go back again!
A very warm & charming restaurant and pub. It has a very "British" air about it. The staff and patrons were amazingly friendly and accommodating. We really enjoyed our dinner here and will go back every chance we get.
If you take your time to assess the Farquharson Arms you'll soon understand that this is a very traditional pub with a warm and cosy welcome for everyone that visits. It is often very difficult to find a pub that offers everything that a pub should have, instead of feeling orchestrated in some of the more modern pubs that just want your money rather than your custom. Quite the opposite here in this village pub with very friendly staff. The food here is reasonably priced and their carvery is excellent in both taste and value. It's a welcoming sign when you can ask for a variation of your food choice and it's accommodated without question. It was very likely that we were going to be late for our booking, but the staff offered to keep some food back for us, just in case - now that's great service.
I was impressed with the Farquharson Arms. It's pubs like these that need to retain their individual style and charisma.

Staying in area so popped in, without booking!
Lovely hot, tasty food and great value!
A very friendly 'local' pub with good selection on menu, plus free entertainment, watching 2 dogs play! Would definitely pop in again if passing!
Nev and Lesley provide a genuine country pub experience with their lovely Sunday carvery. My children enjoy the gardens and the delicious selection of home made deserts. All the staff are helpful and it has become our regular Sunday outing.
I enjoyed a very good meal here with my mother (both vegetarian dishes - three bean chili and the spinach pancakes). Very welcoming atmosphere from the publican and customers alike. Good clean facilities.
Despite the obvious disadvantage of being tied to Hall & Woodhouse, the Badger Best was in good and crystal clear condition, showing that this publican despite the adversity of his tied situation; is a true practitioner of his trade with good cellarmanship skills and clean lines to boot.
Very impressed. Will be happy to return. Thanks for the wonderful afternoon.
Stopped off here for lunch on the way to the coast. Obviously very popular with the locals and a steady flow of visitors also. We found it by chance but would highly recommend it based on our experience. Very friendly staff, very good lunch menu with plenty of choice, a pleasant atmosphere and good food.
Had a wonderful evening at the Fargharson Arms open mic night, good variety of music to dance along to. Staff were very pleasant, friendly and easy to talk to and have a laugh with. Will definitely be going again soon.
Hosted a 60th Birthday Party for my other half on Easter Saturday, (21 guests), all remarked on the excellent food (a full roast dinner and desserts), service and atmosphere. Would thoroughly recommend paying it a visit.
Another carvery at the Farqy, and just brilliant as usual. I washed it down with probably the best pint of Tanglefoot you will find in Dorset. Landlord Neville has a passion for caring for his beer which means a great pint is guaranteed, while Lesley and her team produce the excellent food already mentioned. No better way to spend a Sunday lunchtime.
Lovely, hot food, friendly staff and decent value.
