The Castle Inn, Corfe Castle

We went in aiming to have lunch but the 3 empty tables all had 'reserved' signs on them and there was a family with small children spread across the whole front of what is quite a small pub. I hope allowing half the pub to be reserved is worth losing drop in custom. We wont be bothering with returning.

Bankes Arms Hotel and Country Inn, Studland

Very busy on a grey November Saturday. Did manage to get a table though. Lots of different beers and really nice food (and massive portions!) If the worst thing is having to get your own ketchup I'd say they're doing well!

Vauxhall Griffin, Vauxhall

On the website it says opening time for Saturday: Midday - LATE, We just visited at 14.40 on a Saturday to find it locked up tight with the curtains drawn. Either someone has changed the meaning of 'midday' or we have been "inconvenienced by (yet another) extraordinary closing time". These arbitrary closing times are clearly not 'extrordinary' but frequent which is a massive shame.
