The Ship Inn, Weymouth

Another nice pub situated by the dock.Weymouth pubs seem much of a muchness around the quay area.All have been converted for the tourist trade.Badgers -brewers choice was in good condition.

A Hall and Woodhouse tourist trap on the historic Customs Quay. The large ground floor bar is decorated in a rather sterile fashion, wooden floors and tired bon mots written on the walls. The décor is in H&W corporate colours, while the modern service ducts have been badly hidden by wood cladding trying (and failing) to look like timber beams. The WiFI is free, the background music irritating. The staff came across as a bit creepy and were quite inefficient, while the majority of customers seemed to have arrived on mobility scooters. The food was acceptable, though portions were smaller than I would have liked for the price, and there was a very prominent coffee counter offering take-aways as well as freshly brewed refreshments on site. Only two ales on, I had First Call which was in OK condition. It’s fine for inclusion in a crawl as long as you’re not in a hurry and don’t mind lassitude.

It's an ok pub but for some reason it doesn't seem so good after it's been revamped. And what's with the light blue paint on the outside brickwork? Craig Alexander I HAVE MY LIFE (www.ihavemylife.com)

Another of the tourist traps alongside the quay. Usually three (Hall & Woodhouse) ales on but the service during the summer leaves a lot to be desired. Fairly smart on the plus side, uncontrolled screaming kids running amok on the downside. Much better out of season (like all the other touristy pubs) but overall still only average.
