The Poet Laureate is a welcoming family run pub and restaurant serving guest ales and a delicious menu made with locally sourced produce wherever possible.
We were welcomed by the bar staff and shown to a table, given the menus, and drinks orders taken. Food very disappointing, limited menu, 2x meals very nice , but the steak and ale pie and gammon not good. Service then not good, had to call staff over for more drinks and dessert menu. Will not return 😢
Sunday carvery. 4 people. Fairly cramped seating on a high backed bench. Food was easily edible, but nothing spectacular. There is a large screen for sports, and from the looks of the decoration, it is a Rugby showing pub more than anything. Friendly staff and quick service.
Amazing Sunday roast, the landlady was extremely nice and attentive to anything I needed such as drink refills etc. the roast had beef, gravy, carrots, Yorkshire puddings, cauliflower cheese and some other bits that I don't remember but it was all very delicious. I will come back here for a roast for sure if I'm in the area.
Great carvery highly recommended. You will need to book at busy times, we got there at 2pm on a Sunday and there was only one table free. Staff were friendly and cheerful. I had the standard size, they also do small and large. Prices are the same as other carvery pubs nearby.
Lovely pub in Poundbury. Good selection of beers and cider, friendly service and not overpriced. I fancied a snack so went for the starter portion of falafel which was just the ticket. Lovely outdoor seating as well, couldn’t ask for more, we’ll be back.
