A friendly, family welcome from the staff, locals and customers of the pub is extended to all who visit The Square and Compass. Undoubtedly a true gem in the heart of Dorset.
Award winning beers and ciders including home pressed traditional cider made by the owner, are the perfect accompaniment to a traditional hot pasty or pie.
Live music is also served up on a regular basis with bands and artists playing at the pub on evenings through out the year. See the What's on page for the entertainments diary.
