All the bartenders were friendly and helpful. Very nice variety of ales and ciders. I recommend this place to spend some hours with your friends 😉

It's a great place with great beer and great staff.. and to make it even better, there's a bus stop right outside and the rail station is just up the road.

Fantastic pub. Feels old school with a pool table and jukebox. BUT. Nice to see lots of different people in there today. The ale selection on cask and keg is absolutely top notch - had the Betty Stogs, Kirkstall No. 5 extra strong and delighted to see a Sierra Nevada in the shape of Torpedo Extra IPA on keg. Great selection and very deserved of its CamRa nomination. Bar service was superb too.

My partner and I have been here several times since moving to the area and always have an amazing evening. The staff are super friendly and are always happy to offer recommendations if you are not sure what to try. Wide selection of ales and ciders on draft. We've been to one of their beer festivals which had some amazing Ales and we finally found out they offer Chinese food from next door which is a huge game changer after a few pints. Highly recommend.

Had a great evening here with friends. Lots of ciders and ales to pick from, didn't have the same thing twice! You can get chinese from next door at the bar and they bring it over to you. Cool decor and the toilets are nice and clean :) new local I think!

Delighted to find this pub, I don't know how long it has been here but I wish I'd know about it when I lived in Bournemouth. Amazing range of beers, snacks & good service. I will absolutely be back next time I am in the area.

Well, there’s not many pubs you can visit each week and get a different pint every time, whilst enjoying a Chinese takeaway (I love the Catnip chips 😋). The staff here are fab, always go the extra mile to please customers. Regular beer festivals and excellent prices compared to anywhere nearby. A great pub we now call our local. Keep up the good work 😃👍🏻

My first stop on a mini pub crawl of Parkstone (Weds 28 March 2023). Frankly the best pub of the day (and the standard of all the Parkstone pubs was very high). Would define the place as a maxi micro pub as they do offer craft keg, have a pool table and limited food offering. Real ale was superb as was the craft keg. Nice chatting with manager Michael about real ale etc. Really friendly atmosphere. 👍 from me.
