Driving along the main road my partner noticed a sign for The Smugglers Inn. We decided it was time…read morefor a drink. A short drive down a country lane to Osmington Mills brought us to this 13th Century hostelry. 'Pay and display' car park (reimbursed by the Inn if you spend an equivalent amount or more) and a short downhill steps leading to the entrance. If you are over 5ft 9in then remember bend because, as the sign says 'duck or grouse'. Nice selection of real ales and the usual libations. Plenty of seating inside and, even more outside. Great, friendly, service but it does get crowded on those wonderful sunny Dorset days. Food looked really good and appetising at a very reasonable cost. If you are in the area a definite visit.

Out in the wilds of Dorset, it's easy to imagine the nocturnal nefarious behaviour of yesteryear. Still, the pub's worth the drive to, and there's the opportunity of a coastal walk along the cliffs too, to build up an appetite for lunch over a couple of glasses.

Me and partner stopped here on 6th June after walking from Lulworth Cove to Durdledoor and back and…read morewere looking for a country retreat to have a quick meal and drink. Initially disappointed to find it was a carvery as it was very hot and last thing we wanted was a hot lunch but once we saw what was on offer when people walked past us back to the table we had to have one. Another reviewer has pointed out that this is the most meat they have had a carvery and I will back that up. Asked for "a bit of each" for the meats and got a huge portion of chicken, gammon and pork. Each well cooked and absolutely delicious and juicy. The rest of the veg and potatoes were the same and I can honestly say after having many in my time I do believe it was the best carvery I have had. One nice example of customer service was that the older lady serving or chef had heard me and my partner decided who got 2 of the 3 Yorkshire puddings that were left and were certainly not fussed but just after we,d returned to table after adding veg and gravy she arrived with a separate plate of another 3 yorkshires. Nice touch and appreciated greatly. Only reason for stopping from full 5 stars is that the inside of building does need decorating and very 80,s pub style but otherwise you can sit outside with a nice garden for families. Will definitely visit when in Weymouth again.

We had a carvery which was £8.95 a head but plenty of it. Plenty of other choices all in a similar price bracket but also jacket potatoes and baguettes. It had a good choice of wine by the glass.

After lunch we walked a circular route for about 50mins, partly along the river to help our food go down. Staff were very friendly.
