Stopped for a beer and a crab sandwich at the weekend. Really friendly service, good (Palmers) beer and a lovely sandwich, all at sensible prices. Can't wait to visit again!

We didn't try the food but it looked excellent and this is a good place to stop off in the enjoyably unspoilt town of West Bay although it's inevitably a little touristy. Also a good place to break a walk along the sadly eroded South West Coast path.

I'd recommend this place for lunch or a daytime pint.We had our two dogs with us and so ate in the bar area and the staff were friendly and helpful and there was a nice,traditonal, pub atmosphere.Food was quite expensive but good quality and very generous portions.The Palmers beer was good too and a lot cheaper than some places.Previously,we have eaten in The Bridport Arms,which was very poor by comparison.Would definitely have lunch and a pint here again the next time we visit West Bay.

Went into this pub after a recommendation.The bar man (could have been the landlord) very stuck up and seemed very pleased with himself strutting around. Food was very average. Customers were a strange mix of posh chavs, scruffy loud bearded types who looked drugged up and unshaven workmen. The best place I found about this pub was the door on the way out. Or maybe it was just a bad day!!

My friends and I ate here for lunch today. The food was great and the chips, in particular, were superb. Indeed, if you fancy a seaside fish and chips in West Bay, my advice would be to ignore the parade of fish and chip huts and splash out on a plate from the West Bay instead. You could always wrap it up in a newspaper and take it outside if you want to eat it on the beach...
They had three different Palmers ales; I only had the Copper, which was lovely.

First class food and service!!! always friendly and polite. We have eaten here several times with the family and friends and always go back :) Best place in West Bay!!!!!!

lovely old world inn, top notch Palmers 200, the food was the best I had in my week in Dorset, and the atmosphere was really good allthough it was pretty quite last Thursday earlyish evening when I was here, I'll bet it's a lot bussier in the hight of the holiday season, the best in west bay, but this is reflected in the price of the food, but i felt it was worth the little bit extra for the quality of the food, beer, service and general ambiance

Top class Palmers Copper. Friendly girl behind the bar on an empty Friday night.

I holiday in West Bay and this pub is decent, even if a little clicky.
|
Easily the best pub in West Bay. Friendly service, clearly well cared for, with a smattering of locals which the other pubs don't have (always look for the pub locals go to when visiting seaside towns, as they usually know best!).
I'm slightly concerned about giving too much praise, in case the great unwashed discover the place. A little gem that needs to be kept as secret as possible for us to enjoy!!

Palmers beer in excellent condition. The pub has a beer garden and a small but pleasant main bar area, the rest of the pub being arranged for food (tables decently spaced). There is a strong emphasis on the food, which is (in my opinion) overpriced at 12-15 quid a main, but this is a tourist area so fair enough. Bar service was excellent on my two visits, food service less so (had to wait while a glass of wine I'd ordered sat on the bar) but still good. Strongly recommended for drink and a decent place for food. Seven out of ten.
