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.

    We have eaten here many times - almost always with faultless food and service quality. Unfortunately this evening was not without fault. We were a party of 4 - our starters were good. Then 3 of the mains came out together. We were then waiting on the 4th - fish and chips with a side of onion rings. We had to chase it - when it came out it looked good. However it was soon clear that it had been rushed - the batter on both fish and onion rings was in part flabby and both the fish and onion not as cooked as it should be. It was obviously forgotten about. Such a shame and will make us think twice about eating here again. The Espresso coffee was also over roasted and bitter.
