The Dock & Pulpit was situated at 1 Encombe Place. This pub was also known as The Borough Arms.
This was a great little pub hidden behind St Philips church, no juke box, pool table or one arm bandits, just good conversation and plenty of banter. It had old gas lights above the range fireplace, where customers could gather round the roaring fire on cold winters nights cooking chestnuts and toasting crumpets, the pubs managers were Steve and Eve Porter, who worked very hard to keep the customers happy, organising trips to beer festivals and brewery visits, they also made Christmas special, inviting regulars to enjoy a feast of food and drink during Boxing Day. This would still be open but for the greed of the new owners. Sadly missed
