Small, cosy and friendly town centre local, with public lounge style bar at the front and more seating to the rear. The pub's name reflects the historic importance of sheep in the Dorchester area - raddle, or reddle, was used to monitor a ram's .. er .. performance - ask the landlord to explain it to you! 3 guest ales, with an emphasis on local micro breweries, and a reputed food menu, can mean that loyal locals quickly fill the pub, especially in the evenings. Please be patient at busy times if you are after a 'stamp'.
