The Blue Vinny

12 The Moor, Puddletown, nr Dorchester, DT2 8TE [Map]

Alex and Nicky Ford took over this traditional village pub in Puddletown in June 2008. Keeping the very best of the old, they set about combining its warm, friendly country ambience with a cool, airy modern interior - part of a style that is reflected in their approach to the food and hospitality for which the Blue Vinny is rapidly gaining a reputation.

Alex and Nicky Ford took over this traditional village pub in Puddletown in June 2008. Keeping the very best of the old, they set about combining its warm, friendly country ambience with a cool, airy modern interior - part of a style that is reflected in their approach to the food and hospitality for which the Blue Vinny is rapidly gaining a reputation. The menu is truly international and combines influences from the Mediterranean, modern British and mainland Europe.

Caramelized red onion and Blue Vinny tart served with baby leaf salad and a balsamic reduction and seared Lyme Bay scallops with a spicy coriander and tomato salsa set the stage for your meal. Confit of Large Black belly pork with black pudding, Bramley apple rösti and a scrumpy jack scented jus could follow, with vanilla pannacotta with raspberry coulis to round off the experience. The Dorset cheese, Blue Vinny, is a way of life round here - be sure to sample some.

The wines have been chosen to march with the menu, and there is always a range of excellent guest ales on tap.

Located in a quiet piece of a quiet county 'The Brace' satisfies the desires of those whose idea of a cosy pub with restaurant in deep English countryside, an old thatchedbuilding with log fires, oak beams and a minimum of formality. In fact it has it all, including an entry in the Michelin Guide.

Start with roast mushroom in vine leaves with a shaved fennel salad and grated goat's cheese, or spicy Portland crab cakes with sherry mayonnaise on a mixed leaf salad, followed by grilled spatchcock of poussin with a herb crust, served on an orange and watercress salad, or pan fried pheasant breasts with a caramelised orange and whisky sauce served with Dauphinoise potatoes.

Finish with one of their delicious homemade puddings. This is England how it used to be.

Oscars Restaurant

De Vere Royal Bath Hotel, Bath Road, Bournemouth, BH1 2EW [Map]

Named after the legendary writer Oscar Wilde. Oscars is a relaxed yet formal dining restaurant. The service is very professional yet not intrusive, which is a refreshing change from some of London's finer eateries. Learn more

Named after the legendary writer Oscar Wilde. Oscars is a relaxed yet formal dining restaurant. The service is very professional yet not intrusive, which is a refreshing change from some of London's finer eateries. The Edwardian décor carries on the spirit of the hotel and you can imagine Oscar Wilde ruminating over the tomes in this former library.
