The Pear At Parley

We’re here, the long wait is over, West Parley’s newest dining pub ‘The Pear at Parley’ has arrived, sitting in 5 acres of green land, leading down to the banks of the River Stour, away from the passing traffic of the B3073 where you can relax and enjoy our stunning gardens, listen to the tweet of singing birds or marvel the sight of grazing deer. Built as a family home in the early 1900s, we are surrounded by history, next door to one of Dorset’s Iron Age hillforts.

The Pear at Parley…. where did we get our name??? Did you know in earliest manuscripts Parley is spelt ‘Pirige-Leah’ an Anglo Saxon name meaning ‘Pear Tree Field’ – We’ve got the field, we have trees and now all you need to do is visit the Pear……
