The Wise Man Inn

Description:

The Wise Man Inn

The pub lies just two miles from Dorchest in the beautiful village of West Stafford. Although the building is 400 years old, it has only been a pub for the last 70. It was originally a shop, it exchanged businesses with a smaller building that has previously served as the village local.

 

Brian and Gloria lovingly brought the The Wise Man Inn back to life after a devastating fire in 2006 which virtually gutted the building. They re-opened the family friendly pub in May 2008. The pub is an attractive thatched building in a very pretty Dorset village.

 

The pub has been attractively decorated with many personal touches throughout - with glass lamps, wood panelling, ambient lighting and candles on the tables to provide that romantic touch.

 

There is ample parking to the front and side of the pub and a large, attractively planted and tranquil beer garden to the rear.

At the bar you will find a good range of beers such as Butcombe and Jurassic. Also quality European and new World wines are served at reasonable prices. The food is capably overseen by head chef Simon and has proven so popular that a take-away menu is soon to be added.

 

Besides a regular menu there is a "Specials" board, a vegetarian menu and a light lunch selection. All meat and fish are sourced locally. Why not indulge in a heavenly homemade pudding or ice cream.

 

Customers can pre-order meals prior to taking a walk in the local countryside. Dogs are allowed in the bar and the beer garden.

 

Booking is recommended, particularly for the exceptional Sunday carvery. The pub has facilities for the disabled.
