I am looking for a nice traditional pub in dorset (preferably near Dorcgester) that serves home cooked pub food not restaurant food at reasonable prices. many thanks
The Sun at Charminster, the Royal Oak in Cerne Abbas, the New Inn also in Cerne.....check them out (along with dozens of others) at http://www.pubinnguide.com/pubs.asp.
The Sun Inn in Lower Burton - about half a mile outside Dorchester wins hands down. The Seven Stars in Wool is great as well although its quite a few miles out of Dorchester. If you fancy a trip to Weymouth - you can't beat the Turks head (the pub, not the restaurant which is separate and a lot more expensive)
