Square & Compass
A village pub at Worth Matravers, run by the same family for over a century, with no bar counter and only homemade pies, local beer and cider.
The pub is at the entrance to Worth Matravers village and has been run by the same family for more than a century. It is known for having no bar. Local ale and cider are poured from casks behind a small hatch, and the food is limited to homemade pies, which sell out. The pub has a small fossil museum, and there are sea views from outside. It is a classic stop after walking the coast path. Sunny days often sell out the pies early, so arrive early. Live music is often played on Saturday evenings. Four pints and four beef pies cost about £30. You will need to drive or walk, and parking is in the village's paid car park.
Opening hours
Open daily; closes for the day once the pies run out
