Was so glad I did, I had the chicken carbonara and my girlfriend the sausage baguette. Both were cooked to perfection. The staff was very friendly and welcoming and we plan to return to try several other of the dishes on the menu. Highly recommended.

Its very populair and therefore a good idea to make reservations. If you are travelling to Monkey world or the tank museum this is close by.

We were driving around the area and decided to stop in. We were the only people there at noon on a…read moreTuesday. The bartender was nice. My husband got the big breakfast and I got grilled chicken. Both were good. It was a ugly day out and they didn't mind us hanging out trying to figure out a plan. A few more people came in but it was never crowded. Looks like it has a great outdoor area but with the weather we stayed inside. If back in the area we would stop again.

Mmm, not sure what to give this pub…read more I was there earlier, for the first time, and was staggered when I browsed the menu. The prices are very steep! Even the menu for 'smaller appetites' was not a lot different. The pub is pleasantly laid out, and has fairly attractive decor. The loos were very clean. The staff are very friendly and helpful, ie they'll start a tab or suggest it, without nabbing your card. They make sure your table is clean and that what you need is there. It seems to be a mobile phone black spot! Perhaps a good thing, although mine did start ringing although I had no signal. (!!!???) So really it's the pricing that bugs me.

A good old fashioned Dorset pub, very near to Lulworh Cove, although not in the village. It's very…read morepicturesque, with a lovely feel inside too. It's obviously been renovated but this does not detract at all from the feeling of being virtually in the middle of nowhere. It is still a nice rustic place. We left without sampling the food or liquor though, as the least expensive item on the menu was a baguette at £5.75. Sorry, I find that silly. Other dishes ranged from over £7 for baked potatoe! My friend seemed happy with this, but I made a retreat, refusing to part with vast sums of money in a place I am not familiar with. We found a less expensive pub in the village of Lulworth itself.

Popped in for lunch while on holiday. 3 adults & 1 child. The child is Autistic and has ARFID,…read morewhich means he has a very restricted diet. We always take his own food with him when we eat out. We order and the waitress says its fine for him to eat his packed lunch. 2 minutes later a man, who we assume was the manager, comes out to say he can't eat his own food. We explain his disability but he doesn't care. He tells us it's illegal for him to eat his own food - it's not (it is not illegal but the restaurant is there to sell its own food so can refuse you permission to consume your own food on the premises). We ended up cancelling our order and leaving the almost empty restaurant. We paid £10 for drinks, which we didn't drink, and our food order would have come to around £70 ( more if we'd had puddings) and he refused to see that he was refusing to make an adaptation, for someone with a disability (my grandson is registered as disabled) and just kept telling us it was against the law. This man was not just ignorant about invisible disabilities but came out aggressive and rude. I would avoid this place, like the plague, if you need any adaptations for special needs or support and care about those who have them

They don't open all that regularly as a lot of private functions and to top it off wouldn't assist when my car broke down not even to use phone (as no mobile signals) and wouldn't even allow me to leave my car to dry out for a day !!!! Would not recommend at all. Horrible place and horrible people
