Winyard's Gap Inn
About
Winyard’s Gap Inn is a traditional country pub overlooking the Dorset countryside in the village of Chedington, just 20 minutes from the Jurassic Coast. The pub, nestled on historic land that once hosted notable events such as the 17th‑century Mary Squires trial, offers hearty seasonal food, local ales, a carefully curated wine and spirit selection, and a cozy bar that stays open Monday–Saturday 11 am to 11 pm and Sunday 11 am to 9 pm. For a relaxed afternoon or evening, the kitchen serves dishes from 12 pm–3 pm and 6 pm–9 pm (Mon‑Fri), with slightly shorter windows on Saturdays and Sundays. Guests can also book a stay in one of six boutique rooms, each with its own private entrance, plush linens, a Nespresso machine, and modern amenities. The pub welcomes dogs, provides water bowls and treats, and offers free Wi‑Fi. Whether you’re looking for a family‑friendly afternoon, a historic tasting of Dorset ales, or a quiet countryside retreat, Winyard’s Gap Inn delivers a quintessential English pub experience.
