Goldies, Dorchester

A small terraced cream rendered cottage style pub and music venue with red paint work and dormer windows. There is a beer garden. The interior has two rooms that form an L-shape around the bar that faces you on entry. The first room is in undressed stone and wood panel, with a small brick fireplace. it has a TV, Sky News showing at my visit and a few brass bits and military badges. The second room is in white and wood panel, with a brick fireplace, white ceiling and fake beam look. There is a dart board, a TV (not on at my visit) some old wood signs on the walls. The service was fine and the clientele amounted to a few locals it seemed at my early visit. Beer; Tap stuff with Ringwood Bitter handpull, though this was not on. Fortunately, it was a hot day, so i had a Thatcher's Cider for a change. A basic, but pleasant enough place that only suffered from the lack of real ale choice.
