About this menu

The Old Thatch is a pub on Wimborne Rd W in Wimborne, and its food runs from starters through to mains, with salads, nibbles and sides alongside. Starters include tempura pork belly bites and salt & pepper squid, while the mains take in a wild mushroom parcel and a day boat fish of the day. The nibbles section includes a bread board, and the sides add garlic bread and other extras.

Anyone who wants a smaller meal can piece it together from the starters, salads and nibbles, while those after a fuller plate can go straight to the mains. The sides are listed separately, so garlic bread or other extras can be added to a main or left off the order. Anyone happy to start gently could begin with the bread board and then move on to the starters, or skip ahead to the mains if they would rather.
