The Botany Bay Inne

Right in the heart of Dorset in Wimborne, The Botany Bay Inne is a quaint country pub steeped in rustic charm.

Dog- and family-friendly, it makes everyone feel at home, from prams to wagging tails, with a welcoming atmosphere and a sun-trap garden for lingering over long evenings.

In the kitchen, tradition leads the way with locally minded, home-cooked fare. Think hearty roasts and classic cider-battered haddock, and there's a gentle wanderlust to the flavours too.

Welcome Mumbai-style onion bhaji with bright chutneys, wild mushrooms creamed over sourdough, a crisp katsu chicken curry, and a rich chorizo and 'nduja gnocchi. Service is friendly, unhurried and genuinely welcoming, the sort that invites a longer stay and another forkful.

Book a table, bring the dog, and settle in at The Botany Bay Inne - it's hospitality with a hearty grin and a happy wag!
