At the heart of the warm welcome that greets you at The Compasses Inn is our love of food, wine and beer. We believe passionately that good food does not need to be over-complicated. We pride ourselves on sourcing the finest ingredients and putting them to the best possible use.  Our wide-ranging menu changes daily, with a keen eye on the seasons.

We have worked hard to create a wine list that perfectly complements our food.  With a strong focus on European wines, we have a wide range of really lovely bottles to choose from. Spoilt for choice with great local breweries, our beers tend to be sourced from the surrounding area. Butcombe Original Bitter is always on the bar, and our other two guest beers rotate on a regular basis.

The Grosvenor Arms is a 17th Century former coaching inn set within the picturesque village of Hindon. Originally one of 17 pubs in the village, the Grosvenor now stands as one of two village pubs, and sits prominently on the A30 at the heart of the village.

At the Grosvenor, we focus on the basics and offer guests quality and quintessentially-British pub food within the setting of a warm and cosy village pub. Naturally our food is homemade, and we take advantage of whatever local produce we are able to get our hands on. Our menu changes with the seasons, and in the colder months you’ll find a menu perfect to be eaten whilst sat next to a roaring fire. In summer months, our menu will lend itself to be eaten whilst sat on our patio garden.

In Tisbury Deli, we have created an oasis of food heaven; lush cherry tomatoes from the Isle of Wight rub shoulders with the drooling milky softness of Italian Burrata. Magnificent Iberico hams relax in the company of the peppery juicy olives of northern Greece. It’s a emporium of good taste.

Please drop in to say hello and to enjoy the beautiful displays, the tantalising smells and the delicious flavours. There’s no obligation to purchase – although, mindful of Miss Piggy’s advice never to carry more than you can eat, you might want to bring your biggest bag!
