The Drax Arms - Purbeck

This establishment is no longer operating as a pub/restaurant, but it appears to be a nice pub with a function room. We ultimately ended up at The Poole Arms in Poole instead. Fortunately, luck was on our side today.

Great pub food was really good and very tasteful. We were a family of 12 service was also good . No complaints would definitely recommend . Lovely evening

My family had a delightful meal at the Drax Arms. We arrived just as they were starting to serve food, so the timing was perfect. The staff was friendly and attentive, always ready to assist us. The food was delicious and we had no complaints. The only reason I didn't give it a 5-star rating is because the decor was a bit plain and the room was a bit cold. However, these were minor issues that didn't detract much from our experience. Overall, a fantastic pub that I would recommend.

Eight of us and two dogs arrived for a late lunch and were welcomed in straight away. Staff were great and even brought out some water and dog treats while we were waiting for our lunch. Food was great and came out together. My sons had a fish sharing platter each which looked amazing. All the food was of good quality and reasonable in price. We then had puddings which were also very tasty. Local beers as well so a very happy group.

Absolutely loved this family pub. My daughter in law is Coeliac and she was over the moon to see so many GF options. Not only did they have a great GF menu but the food tasted great too. We were there on a Sunday and they had live music in the garden which sounded great too. The staff were attentive and even though they were busy the food was served in a timely manner. Set in a lovely village it’s a beautiful pub that has some lovely features (huge fireplace in the restaurant area that must be lovely and cosy in the winter months) that was light and airy, clean and tidy too. 5 stars all the way
