A classic village pub in the heart of Loders
The Loders Arms sits in the centre of Loders, offering a traditional West Dorset country pub experience. The pub has built its reputation on serving quality food made with fresh ingredients from nearby suppliers. It provides a relaxed, friendly environment for a quick drink, a full meal, or a quiet afternoon out in the countryside.
Boarsbarrow Hill views, skittles, and an open fireplace
The cosy bar area features an open fireplace that provides a warm spot to sit on cooler days, leading into an adjacent restaurant space. For lunch and dinner, the kitchen showcases local ingredients across a menu of classic pub favourites. Groups looking for traditional entertainment can also book the on-site skittle alley for games and social gatherings.
Outside, the beer garden overlooks Boarsbarrow Hill, making it a beautiful natural backdrop for a pint or an outdoor meal. The pub provides plenty of parking and is entirely dog-friendly, offering an easy, welcoming rest stop for anyone exploring the West Dorset hills.
