reserved a table for 9 people. Waited over an hour for our food order. 20 mins between first plate and 9th plate arriving. Lukewarm, undercooked. Disappointed. Wouldn't bother again. Get a take out would be quicker and hotter.

This one's definitely more of an eatery than a pub. The atmosphere was more of a chain pub for families. Having said that, they did have 2 real ales on handpull - Brains Reverend James and Dorset Weymouth JD 1742. The in-laws had a cheap 2 for 1 meal, which was not high on quality. Wouldn't return unless everywhere else closed down.

Visited Weymouth a few years ago and really like this puvb. I have just returned and I was disappointed. I ended up going 3 times twice to eat in my week down there each time I was disappointed. Every pint of ale was cloudy and the food was not great. The staffed seemed ok.

Called in with the family on a recent stay in Weymouth, actualy our second go at this pub and although the service was a bit slow and the barstaff a bit disinterested the food was quite good I thought. The ale wasn't bad but a tad on the pricey side and although they pretend that it isn't this is realy a restaurant in a pub setting. There are worse places in Weymouth though believe me.

Went in for a meal 15/11/07, waited 20 minutes
for the starter to arrive, the soup was advertised as "soup served with a fresh baked baggette", it turned up with 2 slices of white bread,When I pointed out the difference the girl said it was a new menu said she would see about it and never seen her again, then another 25 for the main to arrive. It was not anything unusual one was a salad and one gammon. That was after I asked how much longer it would be. I said to the person serving the food that the wait was unacceptable he said that he would get the duty manager, we ate our meal waited another 10 minutes no duty manager so we give up and left. You could not put it down to being busy there was only three other couples eating.

Gone right downhill since my last visit a few years ago. Food and service were both abysmal. Avoid this one from now on.

Not much choice of beer here, only the harbourmaster on and was rather insipid, not a pub we would rush back to.

A Pub which could do better with a little more effort from its ignorant bar staff. Food is good and Weymouth Harbourmaster ale is quite well kept. However staff do not seem intereted with the odd exception. No locals in the Pub which tells its own story

Wish I could agree with the comments below as I was looking forward to this pub. Ignoring a few stares from the locals one of the barmen followed this friendly line & served a local who'd arrived after me. With only a choice of Courage Best, which you can get anywhere in the South, or 'Harbourmaster', I plumped for the latter & it was just as weak & insipid as a bad pint of Best. My wife's wine was only just passable so it was an easy decision to move to another pub after the 1st round!

A comfortable place to eat and drink, serving primarily the tourist trade. Decent beers from DBC. Pleasant location on the quayside with outdoor seating.
