| Re comment from Sunbeam. You're absolutely right!!! I couldn't concur with you more. The problem is, though, if you look at the other pubs in the area (excluding the Castle Inn) they're all the same. (The New Inn, The Greyhound, The Fox, The Bankes Arms Corfe Castle, and so on and so on.) If youn go into a pub and see the funereal black, corporate-style bar staff uniforms I suggest you leave immediately. The best pub to go to is one which is happy in its own skin and doesn't have an air of "superiority" about it. You can usually tell that when a pub' has a menu which tries to look like something like the Ivy or Le Quatre Saisons, or similar swanky restaurant in the home counties, that they're going to be hideous. Find a nice little grotty pub which does food if you're looking for a pub lunch, or book into a proper reastaurant. My advice is to give these eatery pubs a wide berth - they might then get their acts together. BTW, a letter of complaint to the owner (in this case the Weld Estate - ask for James Weld) might be useful. Having been into the pub in the more recent past, I would suggest that the overall manager is sent scurrying away and the Welds allow the pub manager to run the pub' without meddling. pubquisitor - 15 Jun 2009 13:44 |
| Took my elderly parents here for a drink and were made to feel like we were a bloody nuisance. Wherever you go you're in the way of staff scurrying to and fro with mounds of full or empty plates. Yet another example of a decent locals' pub turned into a 'Nice Peoples' eaterie that treats you like a leper if you have the temerity to merely order a drink. Sunbeam - 10 Mar 2009 12:05 |

| Just spent 4 days in the Lulworth area,had 3 lunches in this pub. The food is lovely and extremely well presented and by no means small portions.The manager and staff were on every occaision vibrant, pleasant and helpful.The atmosphere was very good in the pub. The mountain of mussells was great and the fish superb,I would recommend this pub without hesitation. bigmac100 - 1 Oct 2007 17:38 |
| having just read the views or chorlock i feel i must pass comment on the weld arms.i used to live in lulworth and do try to visit as often as life lets me,and i have to say im horrified at the supposed "transformation" of the weld arms. the reason i have mentioned chorlock is purely for the fact that its people like him/her that are quietly destoying little pubs like the weld,as it certainly isnt a locals pub, not anymore there is no locals bar anymore it has been converted to ANOTHER part of the eating area which is now rarely used apart from the weekends when people like chorlock come out to play.and after talking to whats left of the "good ol boys" from lulworth they are definatly feeling most unwanted and feel they are being pushed out.so chorlock and friends although you had a lovely day think of what it has done to the local comunity johnnyalpha - 27 Mar 2007 19:50 |
