The Wellington Arms, Weymouth

In the heart of Weymouth town but relatively hidden in a side street a couple/few blocks back from the sea front.
A nice "traditional" pub.
Got a good welcome (Sat 13 Aug 2011) and had a really great pint of Ringwood 49'er.
Maybe it was because I had just walked the costal path from Osmington Mills... Or maybe it was because of the perfect first pint... But I just had to have another. I did!!

The Sunray at Osmington, Osmington

Oh dear. What a terrible experience I had last Friday (12 Aug 2011). Ordered a pint of local ale - Piddle. Came out really cloudy, not a good taste. Swapped it for a Ringwood Best. That was only slightly better. Sat and watched as other customers pondered over the poor quality of the beer; sat at tall sticky table. Barmaid (who had just had a "head rush") flushed through the Ringwood Best. She was so proud of her work she put a pint (that was clearing quite slowly) on the bar on front of two guys to "prove she could do it". Didn't (couldn't) stay for another.
Met local guy on bus from Weymouth on Saturday who agreed with my summary and he thinks they change management annually. He doesn't 'use' this pub.

The Spring Inn, Sulhamstead

Just re-opened earlier this week. Quite busy yesterday (Friday) evening. Good selection of well kept ales: Triple FFF, Ascot ++

Shame about the smell coming off adjacent fields; that killed the apetite for food.

Will go back soon.
