The Saxon Arms is a beautiful thatched flint-stone pub, set in the rural pretty village of Stratton, in West Dorset. Run by landlord and landlady Rod and Janette Lamont – who have 30 years experience in the trade – and supported by a loyal and well-trained staff team, it has long established itself as the hub of the local community and one of the best dining pubs in the county. The Saxon Arms has

catered for various associations and groups of all shapes and sizes, from ramblers, cyclists, dog walkers – your furry friends are made very welcome at this dog friendly pub (except for in the main restaurant area of course) – cricket clubs, football teams and fishermen - all of whom can't stop coming back. And who could blame them? The Saxon Arms remains true to the principles of the traditional English pub with its hearty welcome, wholesome pub food and real ales.

What a fantastic Bank Holiday weekend we had! ☀️🍻
A huge thank you to everyone who came down and supported us — it was amazing to see the place so busy and full of great atmosphere all weekend.

Our new outdoor furniture has already been going down really well and has made the garden feel even more welcoming and comfortable. Add in the lovely flowers blooming around the garden and it’s the perfect spot to relax and enjoy these later sunny evenings with a pint, cocktail, or a nice cold drink outside 🌸🍹☀️

And don’t forget… Street Food Night is tomorrow night! 🌮🍔🔥
We’ll have all the street food favourites available along with a few popular dishes from our normal menu too, so there’s something for everyone.

We’ve still got a few spaces available, so get yourselves booked in and come enjoy another great evening with us — good food, great atmosphere, drinks flowing, and hopefully more sunshine! 😍🍻

Football kicks off from 9pm on the 17th, 23rd and 27th June, so make sure you join us for all the action, drinks and atmosphere.

Then on the 28th June, our Summer Fete returns and it’s set to be one of the highlights of the summer. Expect a brilliant atmosphere, great food and drinks flowing all day, with DJ Jon playing outside from 6pm–8:30pm to keep the party going into the evening.
