BE A LOCAL SHOPPER HERO!

We are putting a twist on our “shop local” drive – it’s no secret that many local independent family run businesses are worried about the forthcoming year – so with that in mind, when you bring in a receipt for goods paid for over £15 from a DT post coded independent business, within the same month as your visit, you will go into a draw for a Sunday Roast for 2 at The Brewers Arms! All you need to do to enter is book a table and eat with us at the Brewers Arms and hand in your local receipt before you leave!
(1 receipt per person, per table, per visit)

Winners drawn monthly through Jan / Feb / March! YOU CAN BE MY HEEEERO BABY!! GOOD LUCK!!

Take a big appetite Nice steady menu with generous portions but the thing that really made this meal was the staff. Everyone was super friendly, mega professional and just made the whole evening really enjoyable.

50th birthday lunch An excellent Sunday roast with friends for a 50th birthday. One diner was GF & another vegetarian, Archie was very patient & knowledgable. We had extra gravy & horseradish which was very tasty.

Excellent stay again! This is our second time staying at the brewers arms and again it was fantastic! The room (room 1) is wonderful, loads of space and very cosy! The food in the pub is exceptional, I would highly recommend the pork belly bites! And the staff are super friendly, helpful and made a real fuss of our dog who travelled with us! Thank you for a lovely stay! We’ll be going back again soon.

Saturday dinner changing menu means choice selection always a challenge. I had the venison pasta, my friend the chili> both were excellent and a good wine list ensured my red matched the pasta. Nice outdoor tables too, which we found on the way out!

Lovely village pub in a lovely location Lovely pub in a lovely location. Very nice beer garden would be good to visit again in the summer. Staff were very friendly and an extensive range of food to choose from on the menu at a very reasonable price. Needs modernising in areas but the pub was very clean. Would recommend.

Great Roast Attended for a family Sunday roast and it didn’t disappoint. Lovely food and a jug of extra gravy as well. The desserts, although a little pricey at £7 were really yummy. would highly recommend and will be returning again soon.

Best Sunday Lunch for a very very long time! Realistically, what is there that is not to like?!! We had a really great Sunday lunch, while taking a week’s break in Dorset 10 days ago, with great service, great food, great beer and excellent staff in a wonderful atmosphere. The presentation of the food was really good and all three courses tasted wonderful. Even though it was clearly a busy Sunday, we most certainly did not feel either rushed or ignored. There was a good selection of beer on offer – I can definitely recommend a pint of Intrigue (Plain Ales)! We will definitely return if we are in the vicinity again as it really was a thoroughly enjoyable meal. Highly recommended.

Excellent Four of us visited for a evening meal. Lovely warm welcome by smiley polite and friendly staff. We shared a tasty starter which we all enjoyed. I had the steak pie, tender beef in super rich gravy and a puff pastry top. I can also recommend the Fish and chips, Brie and fig burger and also the Brew burger which was huge. I highly recommend The Brewers Arms and we look forward to our next visit.

Lovely meal, friendly staff Visited with friends for a meal. We live about 10 miles away but had never visited before. The pub was quiet but very welcoming with an open fire. The staff were friendly and efficient and the food superb. Mid-November might be a quiet time but having lost our village pub the locals in Martinstown need to support their pub or risk losing it! The outside space was well laid out and there was lots of parking. We will be back for their delicious pies very soon!

Everything you would want from a village pub. Cosy area with open fire and a great roast on offer. The service was very friendly and efficient. Dogs allowed in the bar where you can eat from same menu. Restaurant tucked round the corner which is small but cosy. Nice garden for the summer months.
