The Blue Raddle - Menu

This charming pub, formerly known as The Dolphin, has not lost its traditional English charm despite updating its menu to a more modern style. Enjoy a delightful dining experience at this brilliant little establishment.

I had a wonderful meal at this restaurant, enjoying the liver dish and a fantastic bottle of wine. The staff at this charming pub handled our party of 11 with a great attitude and efficiency. I will definitely come back here if I am ever in Dorchester again.

Tucked away behind the welcoming door of the Blue Raddle is a small slice of heaven. You won't find anything else to be small though, as all aspects of the hospitality are generous, especially the wonderful, genuinely home-made food. Of all town pubs anywhere, this is my favourite.

Superior pub grub doesn 't do this place justice. An amazingly long unusual list of options on the black board, including veggie/vegan, fish meat that should satisfy anyone. All clearly home cooked too. Good choice of real ales a friendly atmosphere, just as a pub should be. We got lucky with the last unreserved table, so booking recommended.

I was looking for a traditional pub with a quiet corner and a good selection of food and cider. I got more than I expected and learnt a thing or two about raddles. There were far more vegetarian meals on offer than I have seen anywhere and the Perry's Barn Owl cider gave me a good night's sleep later. A popular pub and full of great and amusing paintings by local artist(s).

Called in for a drink on afriday night and were so intrigued we decided to eat there the following night. Fantastic varied menu that I doubt you will find anywhere else. lots of veggie options as well as Venison and Pheasant. Drink selection is also nice and varied as is the decor. This couple work so hard to ensure everyone enjoys themselves, This is a local business and well worth supporting, visit and enjoy yourselves.

We are visting the area and popped in here for a pre-dinner drink and were very glad we did. The landord was a professional, serving great tasting ales and a good selection on red white wines. This is a very interesting pub with framed copies of Private Eye front pages from the 80's and, probably other decades, on view below the bar. We were made welcome by him and the locals. We hadn't realised that they did food but, having seen what was being served up, we wished we hadn't booked elsewhere. Ironic as Basilico, the Italian we had booked, were closing as we arrived at 8pm, claiming that we had cancelled. I plain lie!

We were recommended this pub after discussing our struggles with finding a place that offers good vegetarian options. I am so thankful we decided to give it a try. We walked in without a reservation in the early afternoon and were lucky to get a table. The menu had a fantastic variety of vegan and vegetarian options, which is rare to find. I ordered the broccoli and blue cheese pasta with garlic bread, which was incredibly tasty. My husband got the pork and cider casserole with a side of vegetables, and he also loved his meal. The pub had unique and interesting decor on the walls and around the bar. We will definitely be returning with our vegan daughter to try their Sunday roast.

I cannot find fault at all abso perfect in every way! Our group had Vegan burger, Pork faggots Cumberland sausage meals. Had to control ourselves not to lick the plates it was so tasty! All homemade and so, so tasty. We squeezed ourselves into the last remaining non reserved table and were served within seconds of going to order even though busy. Once a bigger table became free the landlord cleaned it and came over to offer it to us rather than saving for a bigger party so kind and thoughtful not what I'm used to out my way! About 12 vegan/veg dishes and plenty of meat/fish dishes of various delicacies about 40 meals ish. It seemed a standardised pricing one price fits all meals which was re...
