Decided to go back to a childhood pub where my parents took me and a friend is the chef. Absolutely fantastic lunch. We decided to have a nice Harvey's bittershandy and both decided to have the steak and kidney pie with kale. It was absolutely delicious. Remind me of my past and when I first started out in catering The waitresses the lady behind the bar they will very friendly and the service was 100% and more. The food was more than 100% and I so recommend that anyone try this restaurant and pub. I'd like to go back and try their roast in it on a Sunday, but best to book up. If you want to go on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday evening or day best to book. You can find this pub online by googling it. I hope this helps and that anybody goes really enjoys it and leaves a review because the food is amazing and so was the service. Thank you Dorsey Arms for making my day so special

Went for our birthday, lunchtime meal, couldn't have been better looked after by Lyn, unexpected glass of fizz and candles in the dessert. Food was very good and I can recommend the three small desserts on the menu. Would definitely visit again.

Just returned from a meal out at The Dorset Arms and have to say the food was absolutely fantastic. We are visiting the area for a couple of days and we're so pleased to have chosen here to eat. The food was some of the best we have eaten (and we like to eat out alot). We had the scotch egg to start, followed by the duck and the pork belly which were both outstanding. Finally, we indulged in the apple and pear crumble tart and the baked cheesecake with spiced plums which were also delicious. I never leave reviews but just had to for here as it was so worth it. The service was also brilliant and they were all very humble. Highly recommended *****

Stayed there for a night. The cottage/inn was quaint and cosy. Loved the quiet countryside with all nice smiles from the staffs. Had a 3 hour walk at the old railway not far from the inn.

Stumbled in here midweek after a long walk in the surrounding beautiful countryside. Cannot fault the quality of the food although the vegetarian in our party of 4 did find the selection a bit limited. Beer was equally good! Service missed getting five stars as our food order was slow to be taken. Staff friendly and helpful so I am perhaps being a bit pernickety! Overall though I would recommend and we will be back.

Total disappointment. We chose this pub based on reviews and only think/ hope we caught it at the wrong time, not that there should be a wrong time. Sesame tempura tiger prawns. The smallest prawns I have ever seen, greasy (oil must be the wrong temp) and nothing to resemble tempura. Dense and horrible. We also ordered the bread with balsamic and oil. It was a glaze not balsamic vinegar so that was just sat at the bottom, just disappointing. Butternut squash and thyme risotto. The WORST risotto I have ever been presented with. I ate the whole thing as I was extremely hungry after a dog walk as it was edible but it wasn’t a risotto. It was so overcooked and had unmentioned beetroot through it which totally ruined the flavour of the overcooked butternut squash. Awful presentation, just awful at 19.95. Presto/ zizzi can do better with their mass produced food. They offer 3 steaks on the menu, my partner ordered the ribeye medium rare. It was so rare, not even slightly warm and we had to wait an age for a steak knife. No one asked us during if the food was ok. We were sat in front of the bar yet I had to stand up to order another drink. So so many better pubs around with brilliant service. They couldn’t have cared less, not even a hello on the way in.

My sis and I went for dinner here the other night, we have been before several times some years ago, and decided to go again. I was extremely happy with the service, very friendly and fast. The Manager was very helpful too. I had the fish and chips and it was delightful! The pea mash that came with it was the most heavenly thing I've eaten in a long time, I wish there was more of it! The vanilla cheesecake afterwards with berry compote was just exquisite, one of the best cheesecakes I have had. I will be coming back again for sure.
