The Square Compass - Purbeck

One of these rare sound of a pub tied to its tradition, serves great beer and pasties and that is it. roaring log fire when cold and south with view of the garden with breathtaking view if the sun seems what more they want.

An atmospheric old pub with a large outdoor seating area with a magnificent view of the coast. yes, you probably need to intimidate for your drink and yes, the pasties are perhaps not heston like, but young ones have for a consistently satisfying overall experience. it doesn't matter whether they went along the coast and earned their drink, or whether they drove there, this is a target audience not to miss. oh, and these homemade zider are a tasty bite. fun.

Probably the best pub in Great Britain. I'd say nostalgic, but no, it's never changed. Go there before it does. Beer and cider and Hardy views. Makes me want to weep for the way we've let our pubs go. Our compass will always guide us...back here ...

No drink in a plastic beaker is worth queueing half an hour for. Gave up after 20 mins mostly because people not observing social distancing in the queue or around the table area. Not many tables. Very disappointed especially as we had just...finished a 6 mile walk. Motivated to get the beer, de motivated by the service and atmosphere. Avoid if you are safety concious or averse to plastic.

We always visit this pub in the nice weather to take time out and enjoy the amazing view. Staff are always friendly,food lovely and the world feels a million miles away. We nickname this pub the chicken pub as there are always chickens roaming around...in the beer garden which is fsntastic.
