The Dancing Jug (Charminster)

You'll find yourself in one of Charminster's best-kept spots when you push through the doors here. The Dancing Jug isn't trying to be anything other than what it is: a solid, unpretentious pub where people actually want to spend their evenings. The stripped-back interior and welcoming vibe mean you're just as likely to settle in for a single drink as you are to end up here until closing time, chatting to regulars who've been coming for years. It's the kind of place that proves you don't need gimmicks or a fancy postcode to do things properly.
