The Dorset Arms and the Covid-19 guidelines

Having done our very best to adapt to the ever changing landscape we all find ourselves in, we have shut our doors until further notice in line with the current government guidelines & in the interest of everyone’s safety.

This means that sadly we are unable to open for takeaways, but we would like to thank you for all your incredible support and we look forward to seeing you all again as soon as the current situation allows.

Please keep in touch/follow us on Facebook @dorsetarms and Instagram @dorset_arms_withyham so that we can keep you updated.

With best wishes
