Bridport Arms in West Dorset

We had a lovely evening meal here, it’s dog friendly and the staff were great too. We had the hummus and calamari to start then the pasta in cheese sauce with grilled chicken and the burger, all very good portions and very tasty. We would definitely recommend this place.

I have been here for my evening meal for the last two evenings and the food and service has been excellent. My food came very quickly even when it was extremely busy in quiz night. I’d highly recommend and will certainly return when I am next in the area

Delicious food and a lovely atmosphere. Lots of gluten free options too. All the staff were very helpful and friendly. Definitely recommend this for a nice pub meal.

A disappointing meal, paying £14 for cheap pasta covered in cheap cheese. The waitress was friendly however the manger was somewhat inconvenienced by us. It was vastly overpriced for what it was the bread was stale, very little care taken on the food.

What a brilliant place! We stumbled upon it with 5 hungry children, 4 thirsty parents and 2 exhausted dogs! The staff could not be more accommodating and helpful. We had delicious drinks, top quality food in a lovely friendly and welcoming environment. Would highly recommend.

Had dinner here on two occasions last month. Excellent service and good food well prepared. Oh! And the Palmers beer is superbly kept.

The staff are lovely but I cannot believe the price of some of the items. A basic tomato based penne pasta is £14 alone but if you want to add chicken then it’s an extra £6!! And that is also the same for the Greek salad, which would be £20 with some chicken added. We got the small fish and chips and my partner got the chowder. He liked his chowder, however my fish and chips were very clearly frozen fish from a packet which was really disppointing considering where this place is based. The chips were also frozen but that didn’t bother me as much. The staff were lovely and attentive, they couldn’t do more for you.

Food and drink are massively overpriced. Very average pub grub. 1 x cheese burger & chips 1 x fish & chips 2 x ribs & chips 1 x children's pasta 2 pints of lager 1 g&T 2 X cokes No starters or deserts Total = £132

Stopped at this lovely looking pub restaurant for lunch. Nice inside with areas on different levels and a cosy feel to it. Good service too. Only complaint would be the randomness of the music being played. We almost left without having lunch when there was constant heavy metal music playing whilst we had our drinks. Fortunately the playlist changed, but it was a very random mix of music. Food was good. Gluten free bread available for my ham and cheese roll. Hubby had beef. Both those and the chips were very tasty.

One measure of a good restsurant is not that mistakes are made, because of course they will from time to time, but how they are handled. In our case a menu mistake was handled very well and we enjoyed our meals. Friendly staff and very good service.

We ordered a salmon baguette, which was £8 and a beef baguette which was £11. Alongside, we had a (£4.50) bowl of chips. Apparently the salmon baguette was 'okay', but the bread was dry. The beef baguette was horrible, dry bread, stringy tough beef just 2 or 3 tiny bits of rocket. No salad garnish All served on bread boards (!). Time enough for gimmicks when you have perfected your food. Until then, guys, stick to plates!! To add insult to injury, the chips were hot, but pale and tasteless. A little salad garnish might have improved presentation, but, somehow I doubt it! The wine was good, and this place begrudgingly gets 1 star for being dog friendly. Don't waste your money eating here unless you like dry baguettes, tough beef and poor presentation, in which case you will love it. If not, then walk past and find somewhere else!!

My friend and I had lunch on a visit to Westbay. The menu is quite varied so there is something for all tastes. We settled on fish, chips and mushy peas. We were taken aback by how quick our meals arrived and it was perfect. The fish and the chips were cooked to perfection. Well done to the staff. A small note for the restaurant is the paper menu's were grubby. Can I suggest you give new menu's to each customer.

This Restaurant has changed hands since we when there previously. It still offers great food, well prepared, quick efficient service and all done with a smile and friendly approach. We went there in the evening only needing a snack as we had been out for lunch earlier in the day. To call what we had a snack would be wrong because we were very satisfied by a bowl of soup and a protion of local scallops. The cider and the beer were good too. Well worth going to.

We wandered in here on a Saturday lunchtime to escape the rain whilst visiting West Bay and thought it looked very nice so decided to have some lunch. We weren't disappointed. We ordered the large fish and chips, a steak, veggie burger and mussels. All very nice and the chips are amazing! Would definitely return.

West Bay is a very beautiful place to visit, but when the weather is rough, this pub is a great refuge. I understand it is a family run business and it is a very smooth operation. All the staff are really lovely and very helpful bringing freshwater over for the dogs without being asked which is lovely and dogs are made very welcome as are the customers. The food is absolutely delicious and highly recommended. The prices are very reasonable and you certainly get great portions. When we were there, it was a very busy lunchtime, but the food was being delivered to the customers at a very speedy rate We are looking forward to visiting again next time we are in this beautiful area of Dorset

I was invited by sister-in-law to join her for lunch. We had hake, very fresh and beautifully cooked and with an amazing walnut pesto. Good friendly service. A very enjoyable lunch.

Excellent accomodation for 1 night whilst travelling further west. Our room couldn’t have been better with a seaview, comfortable bed and quality toiletries, hair-dryer and tea/coffee. Staff were very friendly and evening meal and breakfast were good.

We stayed at the Bridport Arms to celebrate our anniversary. They could not have been more accommodating! We were able to park for free in one of their dedicated spaces. They allowed us to book in and use our room far earlier than the official check in time, simply because the room was ready. The room was just lovely with absolutely everything you could possibly need. Fab coffee machine with free pods( and instructions) Dyson hairdryers, luxury toiletries, fluffy towels and robes! It felt like a spa hotel! Loved it so much asked if we could stay an extra night. We were offered the choice of staying in our room, or upgrading, at no extra cost, to an alternative room. We chose to change, and soooo glad we did! We got a full on suite with comfortable chairs, and the most superb sea views! Just cannot praise the place enough! From the staff, who were all so friendly and welcoming, to the super relaxing atmosphere. If there were one criticism it would be the rather limited menu, which if you were staying any longer would become a bit restricted. Although the food we ate was delicious, fresh and service great, so not much of a criticism!

Popped in on the off-chance there were Sunday lunch tables available and so pleased we did! Staff were friendly and helpful, beef dinner was fantastic, excellent selection of side dishes, all freshly made and not overcooked. Yorkshires best I've tasted. Wine superb, water on the table and great colouring supplies for the kids. Will definitely be going back!

We went for lunch and it was absolutely outstanding. The food was beautiful and the portions were huge and the price was very reasonable. Service was friendly and we will certainly return.

Lovely welcome to watch the rugby a table was reserved for us then a lovely meal in the restaurant thank you Ben and staff Wendy

We had been planning to go here for lunch as we had heard the new owners had come from the Pilot Boat in Lyme where we previously had good food. The main bar was warm and inviting but the tables were full so we went in the side room to the right. It was a bit bare with wooden tables and not much atmosphere but we chose a table by the window but as it was very cold we moved to one by the radiator. Unfortunately the fire/woodburner wasn't lit which was a shame as it was below freezing outside. The other customers in the same room all had their coats on. Having looked at the menu online I was particularly looking forward to having a foccacia sandwich but the new menu had started that day so they were now baguettes. We both chose the beef and horseradish baguette only to find once ordered that they didn't have any beef! Apparently it was due to it being the new menu that they didn't have all the food items yet. As we didn't fancy any of the other fillings we gave up and went elsewhere in West Bay and had a lovely lunch in warm and welcoming surroundings. Having checked their website again today it is still showing the old menu. I do fully understand that times are hard in hospitality currently but all in all it was a disappointing experience.

Staff was lovely Ben upgraded us to room number seven gigantic double bed, beautiful CV Seaview view. My wife had the scallops I had the fish and chips with the mushy peas absolutely lovely

4 of us ordered pork loin Roast .The plates were cold .The dinner was just warm .Brocoli was hard as were the roast potatoes.Thin cold gravy .Very disappointed.

We contacted the Bridport Arms as we had a couple of requests that we wanted to be sure where ever we booked to eat were aware of and could help us. I have to say that the team were amazing, they were super helpful and really sorted us out. The food was fantastic too, my OH had the special that was delicious and we also had a vegan with us whose options were considerable when compared to other places. We were really happy with our experience and wish the team there all the best for the future. We hope to be back with fewer challenges!

Great food, Lovely and friendly service. Had the small fish and chips, the batter was lovely crisp and light. The kids meals were very nice aswell. Delicious Dorest cider, Would recommend, It was very cosy in there x

lovely looking pub great location , large car park , clean toilets . staff lovely . but sadly the food let it down. we visited one evening and ordered our meals when they arrived presentation left a lot to be desired . the sausage and mash looked and tasted like school dinners . mashed potato had no flavour and was lumpy , the gravy very watery too . sausages quite bland too . maybe make thicker gravey perhaps put onions in it to add flavour. the spuds definatly needed more butter. just tasted like water . the hake was very nice but really wasn’t alot there for what it cost . My fish and chips were lovely but i did ask for a small and they charged for a large so £18 instead of £12 . also asked for normal peas as i hate minted mushy peas they still served it with mushy so i had to request normal peas she was going to take my plate away i said no it’s fine just bring me out a little dish of proper peas . Also they bought the bill out all together so we asked if we could pay seperatly for our bills. which we did but turns out they got ours wrong i think we must of paid for our friends and they paid for ours as i didn’t have a sweet or another drink . so ours was much cheaper !!! before you say it no we didn’t mention it at the time as you don’t make a fuss in front of friends !! The pub itself lovely but i do think the lovely fire should of been lit as makes a place very inviting to customers very warning . Staff very friendly too .

Lovely atmosphere, very enjoyable Sunday roast with friends and family, dogs welcome, individual dog drinks bowl.was a nice touch. Friendly staff, good food, nice and warm in a great location. Will definitely visit again.

We'd never eaten in the Bridport Arms before but decided to try a Sunday roast. We were not disappointed - we started with the tomato soup which was delicious. The roast dinner was cooked to perfection with a large portion of beef, fresh vegetables and...

Went for Lunch today with a friend, I have to say I had the Best fish & chips I’ve ever had. Excellent food, also gluten free batter on the fish was just delicious. Also great value for money. Will definitely be returning 100%

In my, almost, 40 years of visiting West Bay, I finally went in the arms to get out of the howling wind and rain. Can’t believe I’ve never been in! Friendliest staff, reasonable prices and we were allowed to take the dog in with us....

Maybe 2.30 was late to be booking Sunday lunch (be warned) but the main course options were an embarrassment (only beef and chicken), all three meals when they were served had to be sent back because they were cold. The food was tasteless, was pre-cooked...

Had two fantastic meals. Good size portions and friendly staff. Only serve Sunday dinner in the day and not in the evening. Is a little dark in there unless you are sat by the window. Dog friendly, my dog was given a bowl of water...

Popped in for a ‘quick’ drink after a beach walk. Was welcomed immediately by a friendly face, who seated us and took our order at the bar. After ordering our second drink (well it would be rude not too when on your holidays) the same...

Ordered fish and chips and the batter on the fish was almost Anemic and the fish tasteless. The chips and peas were cold and also tasteless, all for £18. The pudding Dorset apple cake and custard was dry with no apple in it and the...

Just such a great atmosphere, and the food was great, and the location was spot on, and the staff were fantastic

The signs outside as well as the menus advertise their “Famous Sunday Roast”! Famous for what? Being the worst ever? Choice of 3 meats we chose 1 Roast Chicken Supreme and a Roast Pork Loin, both were awful! No taste, pale and uninteresting, 3 small...

Had a wonderful visit to Bridport Arms Restaurant which is dog friendly. The food and drink was served perfectly, by amazing team.

Our recent visit to the Bridport Arms Pub was unfortunately far from enjoyable, leaving us with a sense of disappointment as we departed. While the drinks were commendable, offering a diverse selection that initially sparked our excitement, the same couldn’t be said for the main...

We were surprise how good the food was. one of us had the excellent Fish Stew, plenty of actual fish in it (more usual than you would think) with a deep, rich sauce. I on the other hand had baby rib rack with a delicious...

Really disappointing. Have been coming here every year for past 4 years and always had a good experience. Heard that pub has been taken over Bad service, bad meal. Excuse was that they weren't expecting September to be busy !!!!

Lovely pub, went with friends who live locally and they frequent here often. Food very good, lovely atmosphere and nice locals made us feel welcome. Great selection of wines and beers

Friendly, attentive staff. We had an impromptu Sunday roast. It wasn't busy, but our meals were not as hot as we would have liked.

Went to the Bridport Arms for dinner Saturday night and what a suprise. Attentive staff with great service and exelent food. I had crab arancini to start along with makerel caeser salad for my wife followed by hake and plaice which were cooked to perfection. Exellent evening, we will be back

1st visit the food was excellent. 2nd visit appalling, daily special turned up still frozen ! Mains delivered b4 2nd attempt starter had been eaten hence was cold b4 ready to eat. Staff very apologetic but dampened whole meal/evening. Maybe I'm wrong, but thought daily specials would be fresh NOT frozen.

So glad we stumbled upon this place, great selection of dishes locally sourced. Well set up and Covid secure. Roaring fire perfect after a walk along the coast not to mention a few local Ales. Efficient, knowledgeable but unobtrusive service from Kirk, would thoroughly recommend, enjoy

Nice enough food with a few minuses. The starters were very small for the price (around £8) 3 of us had the roast pork dinner option, lots of meat, not so much veg though and very strange roast potatoes. They were whole - more like jacket potatoes. They forgot to put stuffing on my plate and there were no Yorkshire puddings !! Only if you had the beef. Personally I like Yorkshire puddings with all roasts and was really disappointed when we didn’t get one. Especially as the neighbouring table had them and they looked good. I’d say expensive for what you got. Will try somewhere different next time.

We ate twice at The Bridport Arms during our stay in Westbay. Well organised during Covid with hand sanitiser station as you walk in with the QR code for scanning. Plenty of space between the tables. Staff were polite and friendly. Our first visit was for a Sunday Lunch. We had roast beef and roast loin of pork which were lovely, could have done with a bit more veg or less variety and a bit more of it. The puddings were lovely. Our second visit was good, we had the seafood cocktail starter which had a few bits of shell in my husband’s one. We raised it with the staff, and although they apologised they were not overly concerned and said “at least you know it is fresh!” I had mussels for my main and they were very nice but the sauce was a little watery and not as tasty as the starter version I had on the previous Sunday. Again puddings were nice. We would eat here again but it would not necessarily b3 the first place we would jump to visit.

I have stayed in a huge amount of hotels and you don’t always get a good menu but the Bridport Arms offers an excellent menu and the food is excellent.

My family came down over one weekend and we took my grand children to west bay and thought we would get a bite to eat , after waiting almost a hour a table we thought it couldn’t get any worse , we ordered and waited for our lunch to arrive , half a hour passed and still nothing had arrived, we questioned the waitress and was told because they was busy there was a delay on food , now a hour has passed and still nothing , but in the mean time the same waitress was talking about her night out in town to fellow staff in detail while my grandson could hear , our food had arrived which was very good but very overpriced , the whole experience was ruined by terrible staffing , I really didn’t want to know what she does in her spare time

We visited here on 26/9/2020 for my sons birthday whilst holidaying in the area. The food was great couldn't fault it but Jessica who was serving us was awful, very ignorant and abrupt definitely not a customer service skill in sight. She was too busy messing with a lad behind the bar and then this lad decides to keep us waiting 15 mins for the card machine to pay once we had asked for the bill.Wouldn't recommend due to staff shortcomings

Run by a very efficient, and effective manager, but with an largely young and inexperienced team of waitresses. Meal spoilt by chef adding some additional ingredients that i had an intolerance of. By contrast, my partners seafood meal was superb. Good wine list. Thanks to the excellent manager who sorted out the problem.https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowUserReviews-g2356528-d3524973-r771490158-Bridport_Arms-West_Bay_Bridport_Dorset_England.html#

We visited here recently on a week night and on arrival there were barely any other guests there (we'd booked and it was early evening). The food was lovely and we both had a starter (camembert) and main each (one - seafood, other - scampi and chips). From the start, the service was excellent and really friendly and efficient (we were served by a young female waitress, sorry don't know her name) but sadly after the main was eaten and taken away, the service went extremely downhill. We were asked if we wanted a dessert and we said we'd look at the menu and I asked for another glass of wine to be told yes but I'll get it when I've done this. This was fine and what I had expected but then cut to 30 minutes later and many attempts to catch her - and other's - attention to no avail. I eventually managed to get the young guy serving at the bar's attention who came over and was really embarrassed and apologetic when I explained, very politely, about the wait for the wine and the fact that we hadn't been asked about desserts still. This was obviously then explained to his colleague as she then looked over and brought the wine over, put the glass down and said here you go (no apology, explanation, etc). It was all very odd as to begin with the waitress had been brilliant and so nice and friendly but then a couple more tables arrived and she seemed busier and harassed and sadly, we were affected it seems. We had originally planned to eat there the next night but decided to venture elsewhere where we had a really good and positive experience. It's a shame as we had previously visited and had a great experience but this was one ended up being disappointing.The prices were quite expensive (I'm used to London prices) for what it was and I'm not sure I'd rush back especially with some other great local choices closeby. The tables seemed socially distanced and there was hand sanitiser outside the loos which were nearby. The staff weren't wearing COVID protected gear like masks or visors, etc, but they had tape for those who got close to the bar area.

Our first meal on holiday and it was somewhat disappointing, the fish was somewhat undercooked and the starter of prawns a bit too moist. The staff were fine, the beer was great, shame about the food, perhaps we were unlucky with our choices.

Great pub nipped in for a quick cider and to rest my weary body after walking round Bridport very friendly and the food looked good will try next time.

Thursday 3rd September. Lunchtime visit for sandwich and light lunch which was really nice. Observed as the pub filled up and the only 2 staff (Hannah and Cameron) dealt with a busy service in a thoroughly professional and delightful manner. All customers received their food in really timely fashion as Hannah and Cameron were shining lights especially in the current climate.

Visited West Bay and this was one of two pubs that were in the bay. They have COVID measures in place perfectly which is too their credit. Unfortunately, the eating experience was not as good:Both times we ate there, we had a starter and then a meal. There was no pause between the starter and our main meal. On the second time (we had the Sunday roast) they actually brought the meal while our soup bowls were still on the table. The food itself was ok, but not great. There are better places to eat in West Bay harbour.

Booked in advance and wasn’t disappointed. Been here a few times in the past and as always great food, beer and service. Will be back again soon I hope.

We had a beautiful seafood dinner here. The staff were friendly. We came back the next day for a couple of drinks and enjoyed it just as much. Great locations right by the beach.

We stayed overnight as we were visiting West Bay to go to the near by Station Kitchen.We arrived around 2.30pm but couldn't find a parking space where directed to park so I went into the bar to ask.It was quite busy at the bar & I did feel a bit invisible as I wasnt acknowledged at all but eventually we were told we could park around the back!We then gathered our overnight bags and waited at the bar again to check in. It did seem to take ages to be acknowledged both times!!We were shown to our room which was very nice & right on the beach. No complaints at all with our room.We literally dropped our bags and headed back to the bar. It was just before 3pm as it had taken half an hour to park & check in!!We were then told that food service had stopped. We were so looking forward to a late lunch that we felt quite disappointed. We had wasted half an hour checking in!! So, the cafe just across on the beach got our lunch money!! Not a great start but I'm pleased to say that breakfast the next morning was excellent so made up for the lunch issue!! Had we been told straight away on our arrival about the lunch serving time we would have checked in afterwards.I think the bar staff could have made us aware!We enjoyed our stay. I'm not sure if we would stay here again though. The room was lovely but the other areas leading to the room could do with a bit of TLC I think and the hallway smelt very 'musty'!

We gave up waiting at the Rise restaurant that didn't seem to be coping well & tried the Bridport Arms as an alternative. It was quiet but the service & food were very good. Highly recommend a visit (The beef Bourguignon was amazing)

Visited today for a quick lunch with my ageing mum. Having gone to somewhere else first which was looking crowded and a bit noisy we decided to change for a quieter pub. Good decision, although busy we were given a warm welcome (by a nice girl with blue hair) seated right away and within 3 minutes had menues. We ordered a scampi and battered cod and this arrived within 5 or 6 minutes, very impressive. Lovely fresh fish, nice chips and tasty salad. Staff were all friendly attentive and very customer focused. A good all round experience and reasonable value for money we will return.

Went for lunch, dog friendly so that was a bonus. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Order taken and delivered to our table. Food was good, as was the beer, would recomend.

I visited here with a friend one evening during bad weather. Despite West Bay being completely empty there was still a few locals at the bar and some tables which created a warm atmosphere. The food was very nice, and pretty reasonable prices too. I’d recommend the goats cheese & Mediterranean veg stack starter. We’ll be back at some point to try the other options on the menu.

Came here on a Saturday night with the family. We booked for 7pm but there was no need as it was completely empty. Just as we got there another couple were leaving, and another couple popped in and out, so for most of the evening, we were on our own. I had the vegetarian risotto which was just hard work to eat. Despite being hungry i could only eat about half of it. I was offered veggie cheese, which saved the dish - it wouldn’t have been edible without this. For dessert I had the chocolate brownie with salted caramel ice cream – which was another disappointment. Two people I was with had the fig and honey crème brulee, neither of them finished it as they also didn’t enjoy. All the desserts cost £6.50. This included ice cream. £6.50 for three scoops of ice cream is bonkers. The fish curry also wasn’t great, it contained aubergine which wasn’t stated on the menu.   Service levels weren’t amazing. As we were the only people in this pub all night, I expected a bit more. We all felt like we were keeping both staff members up, and sensed they wanted us to go. While we waited for our cab home, we actually went and waited outside as we felt so unwelcome inside.

Place was less than half full but they um'd and ah'd as to whether they could accomodate us with a table. Food did not arrive as per the menu and when we asked for a correct plate staff tried to justify what had been delivered. Tapenade is not the same as pesto. A correct meal was brought out but the rest of the table had eaten and the moment had passed. Expensive for what is delivered. Service is grudging. Maybe different on another occasion but not that night.

Although we popped in here whilst we were waiting for our caravan to be ready at the West Bay Holiday Park, the staff made us feel really welcomed although my husband and I were still in our work clothes. Drinks were a little pricey, but considering the location I am not surprised.

We went for Sunday dinner here at 6pm. My husband and I both had roast dinners the service was efficient and the food was lovely, portion size was great and the quality was spot on. My granddaughter had the kids pasta which was also lovely. I would highly recommend although booking in advance is advisable as most of the tables were reserved

We went for lunch on our first day and the crab sandwich was good, if a little bit smooth and out of a tin! Went back for dinner later in the week. The staff couldn't have been more efficient or friendly. But honestly the food was a bit of a let down. The whitebait could have come straight out of a deep freeze and although the scallops were lovely I thought they were a bit pricey at 19.00 for five, in a sort of pea risotto which was unmemorable. The venue is lovely, clean and cosy and staff were happy, polite and efficient.

Had fish and chips here, served very quick and piping hot. In fact it was that good we returned two days later for a repeat meal. Also excellent.

Popped in for an evening drink, seems a nice traditional pub, dog and family friendly, lots of the tables were booked for food. Our wine was very good, would visit again.

First class food at a reasonable price. The Sea Bass on a bed of noodles is out of this world. Very friendly staff and a real welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended

My partner had the sweet potato tartar which she thoroughly enjoyed. I requested the chicken wing starter with a portion of chips served with our mains. Unfortunatelyly my friend ended up paying for a ‘double’ portion of wings which I hadn’t requested. I felt this was ‘sharp’ practice.

The prices that they are charging to be sat by someone else's smelly dog whilst eating is unbelievable.

We have eaten here many times with friends, family and as a couple, and its always a delightful experience. The food is delicious, fresh local produce cooked just perfectly by the chefs.

Down West Bay with family, we didn't realise that the speedboats would also be there! Popped in for a quick bite to eat. We found somewhere at the bottom to sit and went to the bar to ask about food. I was greeted most pleasantly as I explained we hadn't booked and would they be able to do food for 3 as they were very busy. I was told no problem whatso ever! The drinks were ordered, the food was ordered (eventually as there was so much choice!) When the food arrived it was as ordered and nice and hot! If I have one little moan it would be that a finger bowl and a bowl for the mussel shells would have been a good idea. It is a refreshing change to "pop" in to some where and be greeted by friendly staff members! Highly recommended!!

We stopped here for Sunday lunch. Prompt service but I thought expensive Large white wine £8.50.. Roast beef dinner very good but £15.

When staying in holiday park for a week, went here a couple of times, food and atmosphere great, staff friendly and allows dogs

Beer is always good, menu a bit limited and does not often change, but well presented with friendly staff. A lovely pub and nice side area when sunny.

we had lunch with first and main courses. All seafood was as fresh as it could be. Portions are well sized and presented very tasteful. Price, quality and quantity accord very well.

The room was lovely and spacious but the beds were awful...mattresses were so bad my sister nearly fell out of her bed several times in the night as they sloped. Breakfast started quite late and was not worth the wait. No vegetarian breakfast either.

I feel I must apologise to this pub for keeling over upon learning that they were charging £4.95 for a pint of shandy.

We visited on a week night of our 7 day break in Dorset. After finding the other pubs and restaurants in West Bay were mainly empty we went to the Bridport Arms which was bustling and the menu looked good too.

We were staying in West Bay and decided to visit here as,many years earlier we had enjoyed several relaxed drinks in Bridport Arms. We only stayed for a quick drink as the focus seemed to be on food and the attitude of the barman when we ordered 2halves was quite abrupt. Having said that, it was busy so obviously some people like it. Menu looked quite expensive.

We were sat down quickly on what seemed like the end of a busy Saturday lunch which seemed like an excellent start with our drinks order being taken and brought to us promptly.

Met up here with a few friends last Sunday, managed to get a table outside in the sunshine. Quite a spacious pub with a reasonably good selection of beers/ largers, the service was good and parking ok just outside.

Food is extremely average, not worth the prices charged. The gin menu is disappointing as not served as stated, no garnish and no gin glasses.

Stopped off here for a bite to eat before heading home to Wiltshire after a days fishing at Burton Bradstock. My fishing partner and I both ordered the homemade burger in a brioche bun with fries. They were delicious. The local Palmers beer was well kept and made the perfect accompaniment. Nice friendly harbour side pub with friendly staff and good service.

Had evening meal here on a weekend stay, lovely food, friendly staff, nice and quiet, would recommend.

What an absolute pleasure to stay at this fabulous hotel. Great location by old Harbour and on the edge of West bay beach by the famous cliffs. Sea views are true from certain rooms. Staff are extremely attentive. Wonderful restaurant and excellent breakfast. Well worth a visit.

A great location for the pub and easy to find, just felt souless. Even the food was just ok. You can take dogs in which went down well.

Lovely local Palmers beer and high-quality food served by friendly efficient and enthusiastic young staff. Keen to hear what I thought about the food - nothing to criticise but could be done in a different way to appeal to people with smaller appetites.

Stopped in here on the off chance of a nice lunch. The Sunday roast beef didn’t disappoint and we were welcomed by friendly, polite and attentive staff and a fire on the go. Would highly recommend this pub.

Great food great hosts and the brilliant crowd. Best New Years party for some time would highly recommend. Great value for money

We called in lunchtime without booking to see if we could eat. The manager ,smiling and helpful found us a table and promptly furnished menus and offered a tab. I had superb beers whilst my partner stuck to soft drinks due to having to drive.The menus were comprehensive and fairly priced, I having superb locally caught fish & chips and partner enjoying Pork chops with lovely onion and vegetable extras, this was preceded with Minestrone soup in my case & escalopes for partner. The food was promptly served by cheerful staff, the whole experience most worth while. I firmly recommend this lovely establishment & will return if ever I can get back to West Bay!

Really lovely team behind the bar and in the restaurant. Food delicious and beautifully presented. Hot and delicious

Popped in for a drink decided to eat, had burger and roast beef. The food was excellent - the Roast had fresh veg and plenty of meat and potatoes along with a Yorkshire pudding. The burger was served with chips. Both meals were nicely presented and cooked nicely.

Wirklich sehr gute Pubküche in disem Hotel, der Koch ist kreativ, siehe Speisekarte! Das Preisleitungsverhältnis gut.

We came here for an evening meal on Tuesday 29th October, whilst in West Bay for a short break.

Popped in for lunch on day out. Was welcomed and seated straight away. Placed order with young waitress who was rude and obviously didn’t want to be there! Was asked if condiments required which was received by being thrown on table without a word. Requested different waitress as complained about the service we received so far which was addressed. Young waitress with attitude definitely in need of customer service training! Food was nice but missing some items off the menu description which we did mention. Definitely disappointing!
