The Giant Pot, Weymouth

Good beer in a real old fashioned, in the best sense of the word, local. Reasonably priced to. Well worth a visit.

The Old Kings Head, Borough

My first visit in over 25 years - what a relief to find it still a proper pub. Warm friendly atmosphere; people talking (perhaps because of the absence of loud music); excellent pint of Reindeer; happy hour (did not expect to write that, especially as the late afternoon trade was so busy). A real gem well worth seeking out if in the Borough area. Long may this continue.
P.S. I do not intend leaving it another 25 years!!

The Boot, Weymouth

Why do I travel 8 miles to go to my 'Local' passing many other pubs on my way? Superb beer from Ringwood plus a guest (a sampler offered); no quibbles when a barrel is at its end; a warm welcome from whoever is behind the bar; clean ash trays, tables, glasses, everything; the customers - they make you welcome too. Great people on both sides of the bar. Dogs are welcome too - water provided care of Wessex Water!!
This is how a pub should be run, but so few are.
Everything 'ticketyboo!'
