An award-winning destination pub in Symondsbury
The Ilchester Arms sits in the picturesque village of Symondsbury, just outside Bridport. This 16th-century thatched pub has transitioned into a highly acclaimed food destination. The venue has recently secured an AA Rosette, won the FOOD Lifestyle Pub of the Year award, and earned a prestigious spot in the Michelin Guide for its focused shift toward premium culinary standards.
Michelin-listed dining, seasonal menus, and a historic bar
The kitchen serves an ingredient-led, daily changing menu of modern British cooking that highlights the finest seasonal produce from local farms. Diners can enjoy these rustic, flavour-forward dishes alongside local beers and well-priced wines inside the chocolate-box interior, which features fresh flowers, characterful beams, and a roaring open fire.
Outside, a quiet beer garden offers scenic views of the surrounding countryside and nearby Colmers Hill, providing an ideal backdrop for alfresco drinks. The entire property remains completely dog-friendly and includes an on-site car park for visiting travellers.
