Best pub I've ever visited. Incredible food. My pie was off the scale, every element of the meal was done to perfection. Staff are friendly and helpful and dressed really neatly. The interiors are also really aesthetic warm and cosy, nice ambience. There's also a fantastic shop selling all local goods and flowers. In the garden there is also a pizzeria, a stage for music, tent area, giant game of chess and kids play area. They have thought of everything! My new favourite place. Definitely visiting again, thank you :
I made a reservation for a group of four for Sunday dinner, and we were not disappointed. Upon arrival, Rachel took great care of us and served our table wonderfully. The service was excellent, and we didn't have to wait long between courses. The food was absolutely delicious and practically melted in our mouths—it's definitely the best Sunday roast we've had locally in Ferndown. We will certainly be returning!
I highly recommend this restaurant! It features a delightful outdoor area with a pizza bar that offers a selection of beers, creating a great summer festival atmosphere with enjoyable music. They also host live music events outdoors. It's an ideal space for families, complete with games and various activities. The pub has a lovely menu, and the staff provide friendly and welcoming service.
We booked a party of 10 to celebrate my wife's birthday, including 3 children under 8 and a new born baby. It was great having the play equipment close at hand. The food was served within a reasonable period of time and it was excellent, except the children's food was not hot enough. Service was friendly and helpful. Overall, a good choice and we would go there again.
We had a wonderful dining experience at the Old Tatch today, thanks to the friendly service and delicious food! I ordered the confit of pork, which came with crackling, apple puree, rich gravy, and vegetables, and it was absolutely excellent. It's clear that the chefs here really know how to cook. Highly recommended!
We had an excellent breakfast on Saturday morning. Good customer service, we felt very welcome and dog friendly too. The produce was top quality and the sausage was particularly good. Presented beautifully and we ate every bite. Looking forward to returning for another meal very soon.
Food was nice and the atmosphere was good. Lovely pub. Wasn’t happy with the 10% service charge. We’re not in London. Yes I know you can refuse to pay it but why make a scene? I would rather tip the staff directly. This will definitely put me off going back!
Had a very good meal here on a busy Friday evening, my Sea Bream was tip top as was the Sandbanks Ale afterwards we ventured into the wooded area named Bear Island enjoyed the live music, Well Done
Nice old school pub with a Sunday roast on top. Service was OK perhaps would have been slightly better if it was quieter as this was at peak Sunday lunch! Great for kids also. Will return!
