Well described by others, below, this popular seaside pub is reasonably priced and more pleasant than you’d expect, given its location. It wasn’t overrun with grockles as we had expected, and the staff were both accommodating and friendly. The artwork around the walls was rather weird, especially the glass porthole-fronted fish tank with the landlord’s mother’s head in it. We rather hoped it was a model, not the real thing. A Palmer’s pub, the ale range was 200 (which went off as it was being poured), Dorset Gold and IPA. The keg choices were Orchard Haze and Gold, Dorset Pale, Cruzcampo, Guinness, Moretti and Carlsberg. The food was reasonable value, mainly seafood based and promptly served. A decent venue, a good inclusion in a town crawl.

A very pleasant experience for a large pub serving so much food. We were looking for a dog friendly pub on Mother's day to eat at after a walk around Lyme Regis. Booking a table was efficient and met with an equally efficient welcome on arrival. Massive menu and the food was quickly served and huge portions. Beer was Palmers and as good as I have come to expect from these parts.

All in all a great experience for a tourist.

A large pub in a prominent position at the end of the Cobb, this can’t help but attract a large number of visitors simply because of it’s location, although there looks to be fairly limited outside seating.

It’s a good sized, U-shape pub with wood flooring which is clearly trying to orientate itself very much towards food rather than wet sales – on a recent visit we found every table in the main bar to be laid up for food, even a very low coffee table by some sofa’s which would have been very uncomfortable to try and eat at. Next to these was an old brick fire-place and there were a couple of plasmas around the place, although these were just showing notices about the pub, e.g.; food served all day and accommodation offered. In a concession to anyone who didn’t want to eat there was at least a pool table in the lower part of the bar. Decor wise, there was a rather vibrant turquoise paintwork on the upper part of the walls with a straw type matting lower down.

Food menu was extensive and was divided in to sections such as baguettes, sandwiches, jackets, etc., with most of the main course options being around the £9 - £10 mark. A board above the fire-place advertised morning coffee and muffins. Service at the bar was poor with nobody there for several minutes, and I was ignored by a couple of staff on their way to or from the kitchen – even a “be with you in a minute” would have been better than no acknowledgement at all. Eventually a barmaid turned up and went straight over to serve a punter who had just arrived - to be fair, she hadn’t walked past before so probably didn’t know that, and she was apologetic when I pointed it out. But she could have asked, and if the other punter had any manners he would have said something.

Beers on tap were all from Palmer’s with their Dorset Gold, 200, Copper Ale and Best Bitter. The solitary cider was Thatcher’s Gold.
