If you’re after something a little quirky but great fun then you won’t be disappointed with The Blue Raddle.
Located in the historic county town of Dorchester, Dorset, The Raddle is an intimate community pub frequented by local characters, famous for the beers and landlady concocted meals on offer. The wine and other beverage selection isn’t bad either!
The Raddle hasn’t always been a pub. Prior to this it was a private residence being converted to a pub in 1850 and named The Dolphin. In the later part of the 20th century it was renamed several times to the Gun Room and then the Country Gentleman until eventually being named The Blue Raddle, as it is today, in the early 1990s.
The walls of the Blue Raddle are festooned with many items of interest the most noteworthy being a depiction of important events in Dorchester’s past by renowned local artist John Walker.
Another example of artistic talents of ‘Raddlers’.
Anyone who is familiar with dining at The Blue Raddle will know all culinary delights on offer are the personal work of the Landlady, Chris Townsend herself. Every meal is a masterpiece in home cooking for the family.
