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%.
