With the imminent arrival of Wetherspoons in Wimborne I though it would be a good time to a list of the top ten pubs in the area. So in no particular order here they are:
Where do you go for a beer in Wimborne?
The Rising Sun:
Sat next to the River Allen this pub not only sells excellent food, but is also one of the few pubs in town that shows the football. It has a small seating area out the back, plenty of tables inside and a reasonable size car park.
The Olive Branch:
A fantastic menu and restaurant with good seating by the bar and in the garden at the rear. There is a large car park, but it is almost always full due to the Olive Branch's popularity. It is important to note children are not permitted in the bar, but are welcome in the restaurant.
The Barley Mow:
This place serves good English pub food at very decent prices and the last time I went there they even had table service. There is a large car park and outdoor seating area at the rear. They also do a fantastic Sunday roast.
The Stocks:
Another great food pub with a large car park and outdoor seating area. Run by the Sibleys this is a very popular destination for families.
The Oddfellows Arms:
Although up for sale at the moment this is a very small and friendly place to go and drink, with a reasonable selection of beers. I have never eaten here so I can't comment on what the food is like. I am hoping however, that someone buys it and keeps it open.
The Kings Head:
A bright and comfortable bar with live music (on a Friday night I think). A great selection of drinks and excellent food served throughout the day.
The White Hart:
Tucked out of the way The White Hart is a popular pub serving good food and great beer. There are plenty of tables and seating and there is also a pool table for those who fancy a game with their pint. However, the toilets could be better and let the pub down.
The Horns:
A fantastic pub with great views and a very decent sized car park. There is outside seating at the front and their menu is pretty good and reasonably priced.
The Albion Inn:
Refurbished last year after it was gutted by fire, The Albion is a clean and pleasant place to drink. This is a small pub with the bar stretching half its length along one wall and most of the seating at one end.
The Cricketers:
With a new owner this pub has gone from strength to strength. There is a small car park opposite, but I wouldn't bank on ever getting a space there, as there are only about eight spaces, mostly used up by customers of the kebab shop near by. There is a small outside area, but is usually full of smokers, but inside there is a lot of room and plenty of tables.
Just in case you find yourselves on the way to Wimborne
