Drink
at the Scott Arms

A proper pint in a proper pub
The Scott Arms in Kingston is one Dorset pub that you’ll always find great beers, real ales and draught lagers. We constantly look to improve our range: we’ve always got a guest ale or two, as well as permanent ales from Dorset, Devon and Hampshire breweries, along with a range of bottled lagers and beers including a good selection that are low or 0%.
We have the perfect setting to enjoy a pint, in solitude or with company. With roaring fires in winter, a huge pub garden in summer and with plenty of nooks and crannies, we have room for everyone, whatever the time of year. So in the colder months you can drink a warming glass of mulled cider or wine and in summer we’ll have jugs of Pimms, cocktails and ice cold Caribbean Punch.



A Cider with Character
We have negotiated a freehouse service for ciders at the Scott Arms which means that we are free to sell any ciders outside of the remit of our brewery license. We have therefore teamed up with local cider producer, the Purbeck Cider Company, to sell a range of their fabulous Character Cider. From single variety and vintage ciders through to berry cider and perry, you can drink the genuine taste of single-pressed British apples from some of Dorset’s long-forgotten traditional trees, including those in their own orchards.
Great Flavour Starts with Great Roots
The Purbeck Cider Company couldn’t be more local; they’re based at Lower Scholes Farm here in Kingston (with a tap room and shop in Corfe).
So you can be sure you’re drinking genuine Purbeck cider with every refreshing glass.









Love the wine you’re with
Our wine list is broad and adventurous: our ‘house’ wines are very quaffable, and we have some pretty special wines at the top end for the real connoisseur. Again, we are always looking to introduce new labels into our range (not surprisingly, our staff all look forward to the wine-tasting evenings), so if you have any recommendations, we’ll see what we can do.

You can’t buy happiness but you can buy wine… and that’s kind of the same thing
We have a marvellous range of wines: most affordable, some expensive, a few fizzy but all of great quality by the glass or bottle.


Get into the Spirits
We pride ourselves on our lovingly curated collection of late night tipples to tickle your fancy. We have Whisky Galore, including some peaty perfections from the Scottish Isles that see off the cold in the bleak midwinter.
Turn an afternoon at the Scott Arms into a gin palace with some of our amazing craft gins, including a selection from the Conker Distillery just across the Poole Harbour in Southbourne.
And to complement a couple of pints of Purbeck cider, why not round off the evening with a tot or two of Cider Brandy from The Somerset Cider Brandy Company.
Favourite Tipples
There’s no more perfect way to round off a visit to the Scott Arms than with a tot or two. And remember folks… a dram’s not just for Christmas.
