Return of The Shak
From May through to October (weather permitting), the Shak fires up its barbecues, serving up a feast of al fresco cuisine including barbeque and grill chicken and prawns, grilled steak and brisket with salads, sides, dips and sauces. Most of our ingredients are sourced from Dorset suppliers so you can be sure that not only is our food of a distinct quality but that it has a lower environmental impact and supports the local economy.
Welcome to Kingston
There really isn’t anything to beat sitting outside in the sun, drinking a cool lager or a sharp pint of local cider. And while you bask in the gentle, warm sounds of summer, savour the aroma of freshly barbecued meats, chicken and seafood as they sizzle on the outdoor barbecues.
The Shak is open most weekends between Easter and late September (weather permitting) and also for special events. There’s plenty of space in our garden but it gets mighty busy when the sun’s out so bagsie your place in the garden by reserving a table on the upper terrace.
Possibly the Best Pub Garden…
We might be biased but we think it’s possibly the best pub garden in Purbeck. The view has to be experienced. With Corfe Castle standing proudly in the centre and Poole Harbour in the far distance, looking north your eye can follow from Creech in the west all the way along the line of the steam railway to Swanage in the east.
The garden itself is massive: on three terraces it has plenty of room to sit and eat and drink. On sunny weekends or during the holidays we often have bands or DJs playing. All the while the smell and sizzle of The Shak’s barbecues keeps your tastebuds tingling. With friends, family, with your dogs or with kids, its the perfect place to drink in the view.
