Beautiful venue with amazing new management that have recently taken over. The food was amazing and so was the service and bonus they're dog friendly. A proper pub atmosphere with dart board and pool table which can be hard to find nowadays, plus karaoke and live music. Would definitely recommend a visit if you're ever in the area

Love this pub! After spending a weekend in Dorchester we came across this Gem! Simon & Donna couldn’t have been more welcoming! We enjoyed the atmosphere and the super reasonable drink prices! The whole team are great! We can’t wait to visit Dorchester again soon… simply to pop back into this pub! If you haven’t been I’d recommend checking it out :)

First visit to the Sydney Arms in many a year! Pleasantly greeted by the new landlord, Simon and served by his partner Donna! Perfectly served pint and in the correct glass! A pet hate of mine being served, for example a Stella in a Fosters glass! Great service, ideally situated for the Hospital

A bit disappointed. It's located next to a hospital so there were several ambulances going past which disturbed us during the night. It's on a main road so it was quite noisy throughout the day and night. They didn't serve food as the kitchen is being done up until October which was disappointing. The bathroom constantly smelled like urine and it was quite small with a very small shower. They did supply body wash and shampoo only downside it was men's body wash. The beds were comfy and the pillows were decent quality. We had a good night's sleep though both disturbed by the busy road several times. If you want a quick stay it's not the best but it will do the job.
