The King’s Arms Dorchester serves seasonal and indulgent multi-course feasts and the simplest of snacks, which can be enjoyed in the restaurant, bar, or old smoking room. Their menus feature refined pub classics, sides, indulgent desserts, West Country cheeses, imaginative choices for guests with dietary requirements, good options for children, and a brilliant Sunday roast.
The bar and snug are an inviting space with open fires, comfy sofas, and large window seats. The bar is well-stocked with an eclectic range of local craft beers, West Country ciders, local ales, fabulous cocktails, artisan spirits, a characterful wine list, and interesting non-alcoholic options.
Outside, their terrace is a delightful spot from which to socialise and enjoy al fresco drinks and dining in the warm sunshine.
