"Wow! Was not expecting to find Italian tapas in Sherborne. Superb selection of tasty dishes, lovely environment with friendly staff, great wine and beer selection. Thoroughly enjoyable experience and a brilliant way to enjoy good food with friends or family."

Food & Drink
"We ate as a group and were entranced by the Italian tapas type meal. The wonderfully tasty different course arrived steadily over the meal, providing almost a taster menu without the taster menu price. Staff were lovely and helpful. As well as the wonderful food this is a pub with a good range of beers. Thoroughly recommend."

"Much, much more than a pub with rooms"

"Love the concept of small sharing plates and every dish delivered. My stand-out was the Dorset lamb with polenta - meltingly flavourful meat with buttery, truffled polenta - a bowl of that on front of the fire would make me very happy. But in fact there was not one dud dish in the ten we ordered. Very impressed and am looking forward to a return visit. Thank you."
