The Square and Compass

The Square and Compass in Worth Matravers is a legendary Dorset pub, housed in an 18th-century stone cottage overlooking the stunning countryside and Jurassic Coast. Famous for its unique serving hatches instead of a bar, hearty homemade pies and pasties, and its own museum of fossils and local artefacts, the pub has a warmly eccentric atmosphere and an authentic historic charm. It’s a beloved stop for walkers, offering local craft ales, home-brewed cider, and regular live music, all in a setting that’s truly at the heart of the Purbeck community.
