Set at the gateway to the Isle of Purbeck in the picturesque Dorset countryside, The King’s Arms is an historic village inn steeped in character and warmth.  An inn has stood at this site for the last 400 years, and there is no sign of this tradition changing anytime soon.

The building itself was once used as a butchers, and you can still spy the old hooks hanging below the canopy.  Today, the inn serves pub food in a different style, with a tempting mix of modern and traditional dishes created by our experienced kitchen team.

The King’s Arms features in the Good Pub Guide and Good Beer Guide 2023. Our À La Carte Menu offers great pub food with something for all tastes, including children’s and smaller-appetite meals, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, pasta and all your traditional pub favourites.

Why not try some tasty local seafood from the South Coast for a true taste of the ocean?!

We love your doggy companions and they are welcome in the bar area and gardens. We always have a supply of treats for them if they are well behaved!!

Join us for our annual Whitsun Festival from 26th – 28th May 2023, showcasing live music and a great selection of real ales and traditional ciders.
