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.

The Blue Vinny

This pub was recommended and mentioned in the holiday information pack at the cottage so we decided to treat ourselves to Sunday lunch.
Unfortunately it has apparently been taken over and service was extremely poor. Well over an hours wait for food and loud TVs at both ends of the pub.

Great pub

5 minutes walk from the Beehive, it is friendly and dog-friendly. On a chilly evening being able to all sit inside is a bonus. Food was excellent value, with a more imaginative menu than many busy pubs manage. We ate there as often as we could.
