As previously experienced last month the food was terrible, poorly presented and not well cooked. Of the four meals received 1 of the steaks was sent back as it resembled a sausage rather than a steak and the peas were shrivelled like currants. A freshly prepared replacement came after the other 3 meals were finished which was better but not great. We have continued to give eating here a chance after several poor meals under the latest management however that was the last time. Being a local and having used this pub for nearly 20 yrs this is so disappointing and I know I am not alone in my opinion of the latest standards of food quality.

All 3 of our party chose Beer battered fish and chips and it was a 1st class choice,superb white fish inside a crispy grease free beer batter coating. Chips were cooked to perfection, tasty and a decent size chip not all small offcuts hence 3 clean plates returned to kitchen

We visited The Famous Old Spa as part of our U15s rugby tour, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. The team went out of their way to make us feel welcome, with friendly and accommodating staff throughout. The outdoor space was perfect for letting the boys enjoy a few games, and the live singer in the evening created a great atmosphere that brought both parents and kids together. A fantastic, family-friendly venue that we’d highly recommend!

I went into the famous old spa on a glorious sunny day thinking it would just be a beer in the garden and I'm also wheelchair bound, but I ended up getting a carvery and a few more pints and had brilliant service from Lorraine who helped me with my food and some...I could of fell asleep after it was all said and done. Lorraine is a super star🌟. I'll will definitely be back 👌🏼👍🏼

We came to Weymouth on U15s Rugby tour and someone suggested coming here as it was near to where we were staying. The owners couldn't have been more helpful, offering a buffet for over 40 adults and children and reserving an area so that we could all be together. The pub was perfect, great garden with outdoor seating, a brilliant atmosphere and everyone was really friendly. The drinks were reasonably priced, and even had some entertainment for us to end the evening with a but of dancing!! We had such a lovely evening there and would definitely recommend. Thanks for a great evening 😀

We visited the famous old spa for a Birthday meal on Tuesday 22nd April. Upon arrival the pub was reasonably quiet, after a change of table we had no problem ordering a few drinks and getting ready to order our food....we all decided on what we would like to order and several of our party headed to the bar to order our food. We were told there would be an half hour wait so we enjoyed our drinks and patiently waited for our food to arrive....after a 45 minute wait one of the love waitresses informed us that there was no mash potato to go with the sausage and mash.. I thought this would have been addressed when we first ordered but my partner decided chip's would be ok instead. After another 5 minutes the lovely waitresses offered us some complimentary drinks which we accepted as a nice touch. Unfortunately after waiting nearly an hour we were extremely hungry and very disappointed so we decided we had waited long enough and proceeded to head to the bar for a refund. It was such ashame as we were really looking forward to our Meal..the front of house staff were fantastic and couldn't do enough for us but unfortunately the wait was unexceptable especially as the pub was so quiet...we will not be returning to this establishment.

This pub has great atmosphere. Staff are really happy and give off a great vibe, like they enjoy working here. Lorraine in particular was really happy and had great customer skills. She is quite funny once you get chatting to her. That made our visit even better :) Nothing was too much trouble. The menu has had a slight change, but with some great additions. We would recommend this pub for a casual meal, drink and a bonus you can take dogs. Lorraine made a big fuss of our dog. Thanks Famous old spa.

I had a fantastic experience at The Famous Old Spa in Weymouth! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with a great mix of classic pub charm and a friendly vibe. I ordered the Cowboy Burger, and it was absolutely delicious—juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection, with all the right toppings to make it a proper treat. A special shoutout to Lorraine, who was an amazing server! She was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our meal. Her great service really added to the experience, and it’s clear she cares about her customers. The beer garden is a real sun trap, making it the perfect spot to relax with a drink on a warm day. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food and service. If you’re in Weymouth and looking for a great place to eat with top-notch service, I highly recommend The Famous Old Spa. I’ll definitely be back!

I booked a table for 15 of us for a birthday lunch celebration and it was not a great experience what so ever. There were two young ladies serving behind the bar and no one to show us to our table. We found the table ourself which had a “reserved” with my name on it and the time. There were no instructions or confirmation when I booked to state order at the bar, there was a QR code on the table that said “scan, order and pay via code” After asking at the bar if someone could take our order as there were 15 of us I was told nope it’s bar service only or the QR code but you’re better off ordering at the bar! So we ordered our food and paid, as instructed. Two of us had starters which came out very quickly. The main meals however, came out in dribs and drabs. By the time the last meal came out the first recipients of food had finished their meal! The food itself was hot but the portions very small and the quality extremely mediocre. The Scampi was smaller than “popcorn chicken” and my mother asked if I had ordered her a childs portion (and she doesn’t eat a lot at the best of times). The steak was tough and grisly, the fries were barely fried and the chicken pie was extremely soggy. What was supposed to be a lovely birthday turned out to be very disappointing. We certainly would not recommend this place to any one.

Very dirty, in appalling condition. This pub needs a complete refit and some proper management. I did visit a pub in Lewisham that was in nearly as poor condition as this one the other day but that one was permanently closing the following day, and at least did have heating whereas this one has not (a small fan heater was present here but not switched on and nowhere near powerful enough to heat the area anyway). It is also a shame that although the first page of their raise the bar feedback survey says it helps them improve they have not used my previous negative reviews to help them do so. After almost 50 years of being a regular customer of this pub I have now been forced to desert it for a nicer one.

The tables were sticky and unclean, and there was a guy doing everyone's jobs, including sweeping and handling things outside, then he'd immediately come in and go handle/serve food in the kitchen. The staff were great, but I think that guy might need to delegate a bit - I'm assuming he was the owner or manager! He was a great guy but doing SO MUCH ALL OF THE TIME haha. On the plus side, the food was good and the bartender was hilariously funny and I couldn't have enjoyed myself more if I could have got over how much I stuck to the table 😂

We found the ordering/paying process easy with the QR scanning option and lots of variation of food on the menu. Drinks were delivered super quickly, food was brought soon and looked delicious and didn't disappoint! The Cowboy burger was spot on! The Staff were friendly and on point. I also had the Salt Caramel Cookie desert which amazing! Will have find another reason to visit again soon. Thank for the barman that brought our drinks quickly and the pretty waitress that looked after us so well.

Family of 5 meeting for lunch. Ordered myself nachos with chilli beef and cheesy garlic bread, rest of party had pie and chips, southern fried chicken burger, hunters chicken and a child's chicken dippers with carrots. Chilli came out luke warm and garlic bread wasn't even cooked properly. Chilli tasted like it was made with gravy granules. Carrots on child's plate were rock hard. No dressing on chicken burger. Needless to say, won't be coming back for food

Have been coming here for years on our Weymouth holidays and always have a really lovely, warm welcome. This time was different. It was very busy but the young girl with dark hair and glasses made me feel like an inconvenience. I appreciate how difficult customer facing jobs are if you're not having a great day but she was singing and laughing with her colleagues which made me feel worse. Only a brief encounter but not the usual experience.
