Fab place to eat and drink just off the beaten track outside Dorchester. Food was excellent and the service matched. I had Bouillabaisse, which was homemade and tasty. Large free car park.
A brilliant find. Amazing young bar staff who are extremely personable. Great reasonably priced food, good beers and a beautiful location. Really nothing at all to fault. Oh, and dog friendly too!
It is my sisters favourite place to eat so what a great place to surprise her on her 65th birthday meal with her husband and mother in law. We arrived early to dress the table and the cake was taken to the kitchen for after dessert. The meal was amazing and great portion size too so when the cake finally arrived it was enough to have that slither and take the rest home. Duncan the staff member was our waiter, barman and general bring out the cake man so his service was 100% and the event went off without a hitch. Well worth the visit and would recommend a return.
Good country pub had an excellent beer garden and a good choice of beers
Didn't try the food but it has a varied menu and lots of people were eating.I just called in for a pint and had a very good pint of Tim Taylors Landlord The beer garden was well laid out with shade and would be a great place to spend a couple of hours on a sunny evening
Telephoned here as first port of call not what we thought it would be, advised we were a party of seven at 6pm, told we could have a table at 6:45pm. On arrival we were met by extremely pleasant and helpful staff. Table was free so we settled for the evening. What can I say? In a nutshell - meal was superb for all concerned, service was top class and more importantly, interaction with the children in our party was so much appreciated! Fate obviously led us here, and we will definitely be back. Thank you all at the Saxons for giving us a wonderful family night out.
Best pub I have been to which served excellent food in the many years of going to different pubs for meals which are dog friendly
DEFINITELY RECOMMEND

*WELL DONE TO THE STAFF*
Excellent service. Great staff. It is so nice to see some good quality food service. The food was so nice as well. Thank you.
I visit this pub quite often as its a lovely walk across from Martinstown. The food and service are both excellent, we come in with my big ridgeback and often other dogs too and they are all given dog treats to make them feel part of the meal! Can't fault this pub, love visiting and the guy behind the bar is always so attentive and friendly which is so refreshing these days! Well done gang, keep up the great work and will be back in a few weeks. Thanks the 4 girls in the garden last wednesday with the three dogs! Lizzie Bryce
36 of us enjoyed a two course meal, plus refreshments yesterday 9th February 2023. The management & staff were able to accommodate us, with enough space to wiggle our way to the cloakroom facilities. Our delicious meals were served in a timely manner, by the most unflappably calm, waiting staff. Nothing was too much trouble & their cheerfulness made our meal out a happy event. Excellent, well done to the team.
Lovely pub and sunday lunch! Great service, worth a visit.
Lovely mellow building. Efficient and attentive staff. Some of the meat dishes need more care, but an excellent varied menu.
Lovely pub in a pleasant, quaint setting with tranquil outside area for dining/drinking. Cosy and welcoming interior for doing likewise with polite and friendly staff. Highly recommended.
