The Old Inn is a traditional country pub in the heart of the idyllic village of Holt. Situated close to the historic town of Wimborne Minster, The Old Inn is the perfect destination when you fancy a homemade, traditional pub meal. With real fires, a beautiful garden and fantastic service, this pub is definitely worth a visit. We have worked hard to put together a menu that offers something for everyone. Everything is freshly prepared at the Old Inn, from our Chicken Liver paté, to children’s chicken nuggets. We pride ourselves that all of our meals are traditionally cooked using largely locally sourced ingredients and our seasonal specials are definitely worth looking at too, as well as our delicious desserts! We aim to provide a prompt, efficient and friendly service and we can cater for all types of parties.

    Beautiful pub in a rural location. We walked from a local campsite, took 20mins. Very friendly staff, food was delicious, pub decor was of high quality and the toilets were immaculate. 5 of us sat on a round table next to the log burner. It was busy at 7pm and the staff worked very hard to provide an excellent service.

    Always lovely food at The Old Inn. Staff are friendly and attentive. It’s a little more expensive than the average pub meal but it’s consistently good food and service. You get what you pay for.
