Cosy, Ringwood-owned pub with a bustling atmosphere, where conversation dominates. Full of character, it has a wooden floor, oak panelling and hops adorning the bar. It sells a full range of Ringwood beers and an excellent choice of changing guests as well as Cheddar Valley cider. East Dorset Pub of the Year 6 times. A simple menu is served weekdays (Copyright from the Good Beer Guide 2007).

We are delighted that the Porterhouse has been voted CAMRA's Seasonal Pub of the Year for Dorset - congratulations and cheers to Jonathan and Andrea.
