| Had an enjoyable Sunday lunch here which made up for the weather in Swanage not being up to much. Food was good except the roast potatoes which were so hard I had to go to check if my teeth were still in place after eating them. I was so hungry though that someone could've fried a dog turd and I still would've probably eaten it. Pub had a comfortable relaxed feel to it. It was the sort of place where you could see yourself spending a long afternoon. Sampled the famous Dorset Piddle which was OK if a little uninspiring. The bar staff were really friendly although I must say that they were flapping a bit and the pub wasnt even busy. This pub gets a solid 6 out of 10 from me and I would definitely go back if I ever go to Swanage again BeerGutt - 29 Sep 2011 14:21 |
| Piddle not at its best. Sat outside even though there was rain in the air deportivo_azul - 2 Jul 2011 22:26 |
| The safest thing to do with this pub, is get your bottled drink, and drink it outside. Although a bit fumy, watching Swanage go by is nice. swannyman - 9 Apr 2011 09:41 |
| I has the misfortune to eat here on Friday 30th July. The wife had the liver & bacon which she said was fine. I paid nearly 17 quid for the mixed grill. It was impossible to cut the steak, I say steak but it was actually a piece of fat and gristle. The gammon was of a similar standard and the pork was so overdone I could not cut it. Perhaps I had been given a very blunt knife. On the whole I paid 17 quid for two small lamb chops, an egg and mushroom and tomato: They were the only edible items on the plate. I'd have got better better value paying 17 quid for fishcake & chips in the chippy across the road. Be warned.....order the mixed grill at your peril. muzzyofrotherham - 10 Aug 2010 13:16 |
| Staff are young, fast and efficient.I had a pint of Piddle, which was alright, but nothing special.Quite a large menu, but we only stayed long enough for a quick pint. The decor and the atmosphere could be any urban pub anywhere although a couple of the "locals" were very keen to impress upon some other Londoners that it was all very London on Sea. Flat screen tv showing F1 with the volume up at the same time as they were playing anonymous cocktail bar jazz over the pa system. Not my kind of place and the beer's not good enough to lure me back. Incidentally, cheshirecat , the Piddle beer is from the Piddlehinto brewery and has nothing to do with Wyre Piddle. jdb1 - 18 Nov 2009 15:51 |
