EXPERIENCE THE COCKEREL
At the heart of the Dorset countryside, The Cockerel is a refined escape — where creativity and seriously good hospitality come together.
Once The Drovers Inn, the pub has been part of village life for years — now reimagined as a family-run spot with a fresh perspective.
We’re quickly becoming one of Dorset’s go-to destinations for food lovers. From unique pop-ups to the best Sunday roast in town — whether you’re here for a laid-back drink, a standout meal or a countryside escape, The Cockerel’s got you covered.
Come and see what all the fuss is about.
