The Frampton Arms
About
The Frampton Arms is a quintessential country pub situated in the village of Moreton, just a short train journey from Dorchester. It combines the charm of a historic 19th‑century public house with modern hospitality, offering a welcoming beer garden, terrace dining and a well‑stocked bar that is open until 10 pm on weekdays and 11 pm on Saturdays. Guests who prefer a night in can book one of the fourteen air‑conditioned en‑suite rooms, which feature King‑size beds, flat‑screen TVs, complimentary Wi‑Fi and refrigerated tea‑and‑coffee facilities. The rooms are split between a main building and a refurbished barn, providing a cosy retreat with private terrace access for a few. The restaurant is renowned for its locally sourced produce and fresh‑season menu that blends traditional pub classics with contemporary dishes. Lunch is served Monday‑Friday from 12:00 pm to 2:30 pm and 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm, while Saturdays allow all‑day service from 12:00 pm to 8:00 pm and Sundays from 12:00 pm to 6:30 pm. A Sunday roast, prepared from locally sourced meats, is served from 12:00 pm every Sunday. Whether you’re looking for a relaxed pub‑day lunch, a late‑night drink beside a real fire, or a comfortable place to spend a weekend in Dorset, The Frampton Arms delivers a warm, friendly atmosphere that feels both traditional and contemporary.
