| Good range of real ales including from local brewers. Tried three of them and all in excellent condition. Food was disappointing for the price - over baked and dry fish, uninspiring lettuce/tasteless tomato slice (one!)/cress/cucumber salad and meagre chips. However, lively bar with constantly changing locals and regulars made entertainment. Good atmosphere. Worth a visit just for the beer. Janick - 23 May 2011 16:24 |
| Visited this pub as I was in the area and was enticed inside by the big banners stating it was the winner of CAMRA's Dorset pub of the year 2007. The interior is very nice, apart from the large TV showing football matches, and the barman was polite. The beer was in good condition, so we decided to eat there. What a disappointment, as the ingredients were clearly the cheapest that could be bought, sausages tasted like Tesco value ones, all rusk and herbs and no meat, and the chilli was made with mince that tasted like ground up gristle out of a tin. Such a shame as the pub has a lot going for it, if only they had used the local butcher to source their meat from I would be happy to use the place in future, as it is, there are plenty of other pubs in the town, so I won't be back. arfajob - 25 Feb 2011 22:18 |
| lovely drinking and eating pub, all the staff were friendly and everything was well priced. Nice log fire, which really brings character to this pub. I was very happy sitting in this pub, eating my meal and chatting to some off the locals about Wareham and the different pubs in wareham. Well worth a visit. lisa_Ann_Sayer - 21 Feb 2011 01:57 |
| Ah The Duke, what can i say.. Another of our Real Ale Quest regulars, good selection, very good prices, but, (and I hate there to be a 'but'..), last year we noticed a distinct trend toward cooling the Real Ales down too much - a very big 'no no'... With a heavy heart, we left this time after a couple, and de-camped to the Kings Arms at the top of the High Street. Not as big a range, but comparitively priced, and the correct temperature. Give 'em a go... rioathmusV - 16 Feb 2011 18:55 |
| The landlord was not interested in telling me anything about the ales he was selling, and made me feel uncomfortable for asking about them before I bought a pint. I had been looking forward to visiting the pub, having read a good review in Good Beer Guide. The beer when it came, was in good condition, but I would not go back there. rupturedspleen - 5 Jan 2011 19:11 |
