A Private Space: The Stables

Our Sunday Best event takes place in The Stables, a private area offering both indoor and outdoor seating. Inside, there’s room for up to 49 guests, while the outdoor area can accommodate an additional 60 people. The space includes a large dance floor and an open gravel area, making it the ideal setting for a casual Sunday gathering. Plus, the DJ decks are set on a raised stage, ensuring that music flows effortlessly through the marquee.

Access to The Stables is easy, with a private entrance to the right of the pub’s main door, offering guests a more intimate experience away from the main dining area.

Sunday Roasts at Their Best

At Sunday Best, it’s all about the food and music. Our famous Sunday roasts are available between 4pm and 6pm, but be sure to book early as tables fill up fast. Choose from a selection of expertly cooked meats like sirloin of beef, leg of lamb, pork loin, chicken, or pork belly. If you’re vegetarian or just fancy something different, our nut roast is a delicious alternative. Each roast is served with all the trimmings: cauliflower cheese, stuffing, Yorkshire pudding, rich gravy, and a bowl of seasonal vegetables to share.

When booking, select the “Sunday Best” promotion to secure your table. But if you’re just popping in for drinks and to enjoy the music, no need to book! 

Local Drinks and a Private Bar

To complement your meal or simply enjoy with friends, discover a variety of local spirits, ales, and wines at our private Stables bar, open until 10pm. We serve a full selection of beers, lagers, wines, spirits, and soft drinks, so there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re into refreshing spritzers or want to try a local Dorset ale, the bar has you covered.

Music to Feed Your Soul

What’s Sunday without some great music? The Pear at Parley has lined up a stellar selection of DJ vinyl sessions, mixing old and new-age tracks to keep the vibe lively throughout the evening. You’ll find yourself on the dance floor before you know it! Plus, to add a unique touch, Cass will bring a percussionary element to the mix, making the evening even more memorable.

From roast meats to chilled beats, join us for Sunday Best and make your weekend one to remember. Whether you’re enjoying a hearty meal or just soaking up the atmosphere in our heated, tented garden, there’s no better way to end your week than at The Pear at Parley.

DJing has evolved dramatically since its origins in the 1940s, transforming from a simple way to play records on air to an influential art form. Early radio DJs laid the groundwork, but it wasn’t until the 1970s, when New York pioneers like Kool Herc began mixing records on two turntables, that modern DJing took shape.

The introduction of the Technics SL-1200 turntable in 1972 revolutionised mixing, enabling techniques like beatmatching, scratching, and sampling. DJs became central to Hip Hop culture, shaping the genre through breakbeats and innovative turntablism.

The 80s and 90s saw DJs rise to prominence with electronic dance music, leading to new genres like House music and the rise of superstar DJs, forever changing the musical landscape. Now, we’re bringing a bit of this music culture to The Pear at Parley.
