Blue Scrumpy left this review about The Pilot Boat

Palmer's pub with a fairly modern feel inside. You enter into a large room at the front for drinkers. Beyond that is a narrower room where a long bar can be found to the right-hand side. Further beyond are a couple of large dining rooms, the first with an open kitchen. Further drinking space can be found with an outdoor terrace opposite the bar and a separate roof terrace.

There is parquet flooring throughout and lots of wood in general. Music was playing. Kids are provided with crayons and presumably something to draw on them with.

Cask ales were 200, IPA, Copper, Dorset Gold & Tally Ho! The cider was Dorset Orchards First Press and Dorset IPA was on keg. As per the previous review, prices are hefty here. So, it was only local holidaymakers present. Fairly average in all.

Covered in scaffold on this visit - so not the easiest to spot. Long internal bar, with some patio door leading to an outside terrace.

GBG 2023 Palmers house. Last night, I was told that no locals drank in Palmers because of the price. As a solo drinker, I can tell you that the 200 was in fine shape and £6. The Rock Point Inn over the road and with a sea view had Proper Job IPA at £4.50.

The locals know, you know.

Well described below, this was the final visit on a day-long crawl, and we found it a very pleasant way to end the day, although it was one of the more expensive pubs we visited. It’s owned by Palmer’s which could explain the high prices. Palmer’s beers aren’t everyone’s favourite, but I found my pint of Gold most agreeable, well kept and in good condition though other beers were only in average condition. Strangely, the front bar was overflowing, while there was no-one in the back bar, so we migrated into there. The staff were helpful and the atmosphere was convivial. I’d be happy to come back any time.
