Charming
Dog-friendly
Great for craft beers

The Shepherd & Dog has maintained all the traditions you would expect in a country pub but has added some lovely touches. The fabulous Sunday Roast on offer from noon, last bookings at 6 PM is just one example that will delight your taste buds.

Locally sourced, seasonal food menus showcasing the best of the local area. Craft beers are all local, exclusive or unusual in some way - no run of the mill here!

We look forward to seeing you soon.

The venue was busy and very noisy. The roast lamb was bit chewy. Icecream was lovely. Staff friendly.

Haven't eaten here for some time indoors, we usually visit while out walking in the summer when it gets very busy. It was a shame to see it so quiet on a Saturday night, one of the few places where you get a good choice of craft and local beers and ales. The menu is quite small, but the quality of every item we ordered was very good and a pleasant change from the mass produced stuff sold in many pubs. Excellent, would thoroughly recommend on this basis

Excellent food, attentive and friendly service and huge range of draught beers, ales and ciders. A great restaurant masquerading as a great pub.

Great building nestling under the downs in a small village. We had the pub basic Fish and Chips portion size was good, not too large so you could think about a pud. And the Minted lamb pie, This was a little like Blind Scouse. the meat content was minimal and very little gravy. It was served with mashed potatoes which were pureed to a fine cream. No good for mopping up the gravy that should have been in the pie. Menu was very limited. Would I go again YES YES excellent beers and ciders. Possible a better pub for a summer lunch than an evening meal.
