Was so glad I did, I had the chicken carbonara and my girlfriend the sausage baguette. Both were cooked to perfection.

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.

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

Absolutely awful. It's expensive no kids are allowed inside even in the rain , they are rude and…read moreextremely unhelpful. 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
