| The recession bit, pub was up for sale for a while but they soldiered on. I think it was a valuable lesson. Food prices have come down and quality bar snacks are available all week, not just Monday to Thursday lunchtime only. The friendliness is back (the bloke seems to have gone, maybe he was the reason for the sour moods) Its a nice real pub, if you want cheap booze and shopfitted 'character' go to a McWeatherspoons or a supermarket. spillmypint - 29 Aug 2009 00:09 |
| Real ale quality being praised by CAMRA, 'probably the best beer of the day was found direct from a barrel just down the road at the Ship in Distress - Weymouth bitter from the Dorset Brewery Company.' Not my words, worth a vist if in the area. justdarkbeer - 9 Jun 2009 00:27 |
| I'm afraid I have to disagree with justdarkbeer. This pub always disappoints me. The beer selection is okay but I've had some pretty mediocre pints in there. I wish the owners well but I suspect they are under the burden of a pretty hefty rent. afullpint - 8 Feb 2009 17:16 |
| Always open as advertised, best selection of real ales in Christchurch, food good too, so they tell me. wel worth a visit. JSB. justdarkbeer - 24 Jan 2009 01:55 |
| Had a great reputation for seafood and its desserts. A recent change of management has meant the food is still good, but for some strange reason they dont seem pleased to serve you. And its not a one-off, I'm a local and and go there frequently. Cheer up you miserable xxx!:-). I guess they have been suffering a loss of customers to the increasingly popular Nelson up the road. They have recently redecorated, which is a bit of disaster in my opinion as its lost all the character (witches balls, fishing nets, lobster pots all gone and the comfy sofas replaced with a mish mash of upright chairs). Live music a regular feature now. Food still pricey in the restaurant, but the bar menu is excellent and good value. spillmypint - 22 Nov 2008 21:46 |
