Spent a weekend in Swanage and this pub has the best staff, very professional, polite and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble and the food was fantastic. Live music on both nights as entertainment. Great atmosphere and certainly made our mini break a memorable trip. Thank you. Highly recommend 100%.

After a long day on the beach we were looking for a family friendly pub for some refreshments and an evening meal. Bar staff were excellent, cider was great and the meals service was timely and just what we needed. 100% recommended for good food and friendly atmosphere

Lovely Sunday Roast today. I had the chicken, came with roast potatoes, veg and a big old Yorkshire. Gravy was phenomenal! The landlady is a down to earth, friendly and bubbly woman Definitely recommend

Its a pub. Busy, with juke box, people playing darts, pool table, live sports, decent beer, £5 for an all day breakfast which was pretty good and great for the money. Cosy? Not really.. Lively? Absolutely. Fun place? Certainly. Enjoy!!
