Food and Drink near Bere Regis  | If peace and tranquility are on the agenda, head for Bere Regis. Tucked away amidst woodland, ancient heaths and traditional watercress beds, Bere Regis was made famous by Thomas Hardy in his classic story ‘Tess of the d’Urbervilles’ (he called it Kingsbere in the novel). Wander through the grounds of the imposing 15th century church and you might be tempted to say that little has changed since Hardy wrote about the village – the noise and rush of the 21st century seems conspicuous in its absence in Bere Regis. |

The Blue Vinny
Named after the legendary Dorset cheese (Monty Python fans may recall it mentioned in the 'Cheese Shop Sketch'). The Blue Vinny has a great menu (naturally, featuring dishes such as sirloin steak glazed with Blue Vinny, with wild mushrooms and hand cut chips), and a lovely big beer garden to sleep it all off.
