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.

“Just WOW! A hidden gem, not to be confused in any way with the previous incarnation. The new owners/management have transformed the place and the food is nothing short of sublime. Get in there quick before word spreads and you can’t get a table!! Yum!”
