The Old Inn is a traditional country pub in the heart of the idyllic village of Holt. Situated close to the historic town of Wimborne Minster, The Old Inn is the perfect destination when you fancy a homemade, traditional pub meal. With real fires, a beautiful garden and fantastic service, this pub is definitely worth a visit. We have worked hard to put together a menu that offers something for everyone. Everything is freshly prepared at the Old Inn, from our Chicken Liver paté, to children’s chicken nuggets. We pride ourselves that all of our meals are traditionally cooked using largely locally sourced ingredients and our seasonal specials are definitely worth looking at too, as well as our delicious desserts! We aim to provide a prompt, efficient and friendly service and we can cater for all types of parties.

    The Old Inn goes beyond the normal with excellent friendly service, excellent food with many choices but good value for the slightly inflated prices!

    This is my favourite place to catch up with friends & family. It's a perfect place to stop off. The food is amazing. The ambience & warm welcome is outstanding. The staff are lovely & most accommodating. If I were to recommend somewhere to eat & drink near Wimborne, it would be here. Love it.

    This was our second visit, we were not disappointed, warm friendly welcome, good selection of food,even for us being pescatarians.The vegetables served were not over cooked, lovely salad according to my husband was very fresh. Standards within the pub were excellent, service was very friendly and professional even, the way the tables were cleaned, the washrooms were very clean. We will be going back and have already told family and friends how great our experience was. Well done The Old Inn
