Famous Old Spa in Weymouth and Portland

Ordered nachos as a starter. It came 45 minutes later. April 22nd 6.30.however this was because of unexpected staff shortages .which have now been explained.with this in mind we will visit again when we are next in weymouth.

Just had a great meal here. All top draw! Beer well kept! Team efficient, pleasent, intelligent and a great part of the atmosphere. Try, you will not be disappointed! Good luck for the coming season! Thankyou.

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.

Nice food, friendly staff.. Lorraine went out of her way to make sure everything was perfect... best bartender in Weymouth

Lorraine always goes out of her way to ensure our experience is perfect. She is a credit to the spa and one of the best bartenders I’ve ever met.

Great service from Lorraine, very helpful and friendly. Made an effort to speak to all of us! Great service, will definitely be back again soon.

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.

Last minute booking it was very nice but busy and massively under staffed

Popped in for lunch. Great food and excellent service from Lorraine.

A real good old boozer This was certainly the pub to be in. Loads going on in here football, darts family's ,music, pool . The food was really good too. We actually ordered via the QR code,and this is not our strong point😬 but it was easy, and the food was delivered really quickly. I had the gammon with sweet potato fries. My husband had the cowboy burger. Both were cooked well and good portions. Well priced.

great service and good food, we come here quite alot with the children and lorraine is always very helpful and is very good with the kids

Lauren is always help us ,I'm a support worker and when i come with my services user, the atmosphere is always welcoming

Love this place always welcomed well. Great burgers and great beer. Lady behind the bar Lorraine always happy to see you and always very friendly. Highly recommend

Lorraine, our server was fantastic and very friendly. Brilliant with our grandchildren too! Will definitely go back again!

Sooo good great service !! Big slayyyy

Very good food, and nice chilled setting. Lovely service from host Lorraine - very welcoming and helpful. Highly recommend for meal out ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very good staff and service recommend!!!!

Loraine an absolute sort, serves food with a smile and is a good laugh shame the chef doesn’t know what he’s doing

Had an amazing experience at the famous old spa and our waitress Loraine was fantastic would highly recommend

Had a lovely meal here , food and service off Lorraine in particular were excellent. Would definitely return.

Madison was very helpful and the pub has a good section of drinks

Great pub and perfect beer garden in the sun. Staff are lovely, especially Lorraine.

Great pub great food and drink, served by the lovely Lorraine who kept us very entertained and well looked after!

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!

Lorraine is an absolute diamond , best service ever!

Brilliant experience at the spa! Phoebe served us with a smile and happy to help. Food and drink was good

Really good pub! Nice and friendly staff, and very delicious food. Amazing atmosphere! Love coming here now its dog friendly too.

Had a lovely visit to the spa, the food is great the picky options are my favourite. The team were so helpful and friendly with our gluten free options too

Really good pub! Nice and friendly staff, and very delicious food. Amazing atmosphere!

Unfortunately no atmosphere when we went. Hunters Chicken unfortunately not enough sauce, looked like it was cooked separately. No visit again

Food is delicious and team are lovely, can’t wait to visit again soon!!!

Couldn't recommend it enough, food was delicious and the staff are very friendly and welcoming and loved the atmosphere here, can't wait to come back again 😊

Great place to go! Staff are friendly and food was amazing! Was a really enjoyable evening

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.

Courtney was very friendly food was amazing

Mariah served us and was really good

Great food and staff is lovely definitely coming back

A good get together with the girls, really happy with the service from Ricky the waiter and the food was good.

I come in for the curry with my family and my dog monthly and enjoy it every time I come. The young girl at the bar Madison is always so welcoming and so is the young lad Logan in the kitchen always makes the food to how we like it.

Food is always amazing and service by Madison is great , she always remembers what myself and family are having. Love the quick service

The atmosphere is so much better in the spa. I didn’t come for years as the old staff were very lazy so it’s good to see the spa come round with great staff! Madison and Courtney were very friendly. Will be coming back.

Not been here for several years. Looks to have had a refurb. Had a lovely steak cooked to my requirerments. Will return again

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.

Had the Sunday carvery which was very nice, but the staff seemed a little grumpy apart from the chef

We enjoyed our meals at the old spa today. The chef was helpful and cheerful even though it was very busy. Staff as always ready to serve with a smile. Young barman attentive to serving and Lauraine, as always gives wonderful attention to the customers with her warm welcome and professional attitude.

Lovely food staff very attentive.would recommend the burgers

Good pub space. Good selection of drinks and had the sports on

Dreadful food £7.50 for a glass of wine tastes like vinegar could not drink it

Average food , family pub & sports bar. Outside play area for the kids

This is a decent food and drinks pub with sport. It does a good job of being a food and drink pub at an excellent price. Food is good and served promptly ,beer is well kept. Pub has offers and is part of the meerkat 25% off package. All in all excellent place for a good value meal and drink. I

Lorraine was so lovely, very welcoming and warm harted lady. Really made our time here enjoyable. :)

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 😂

Went for a Sunday carvery, was extremely busy! Despite only what seemed to be 2 staff members serving, my sever Lorraine still found the time for us, checking to make sure everything was okay. and that we always had drinks. Food was good service was great! Will be back. Thank you Lorraine

Lorraine is an absolute wonderful bar maid always kind and friendly. The service is amazing and she makes Bingo nights a lot of fun.

Great food and service! Bryan, Courtney and alex are all amazing, can't wait to visit again

Wow what can I say the atmosphere was amazing and the food was even better whilst I was there I asked if I could speak to the chef to give my appraisal to him. They got the head chef out for me whose name was Alex. I will definitely be coming back again and again thank you to the wonderful kitchen team

lorraire was brilliant! we loved her

I went here with some friends, one was in a wheelchair, following a stroke. From start to finish, it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience! Access was easy, plenty of places to choose where we sat. 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

I had lunch with some family members, everything about our experience was top notch

Unfortunately, we didn't have a good experience. We were freezing cold, the radiator was off and we had to leave earlier. My burger was very small and not really good, quite dry with very few chips. The men's toilet was not in good conditions, not very clean and run down.

Had another great experience at the spa! The staff are so lovely and accommodating. They always go out of their way to make sure our children are happy and having the best time as well as looking after all of their guests 😊

Excellent carvery - meats were tender and delicious served with a good assortment of vegetables - the dauphinoise potatoes were exceptional. Good value carvery.

very friendly staff, food hot and good value.

Bryan and kayleigh are legit the nicest people you'll ever have the pleasure of meeting. Service was amazing as always

Lovely pub and staff are amazing as always

Fantastic place to watch sport and enjoy a meal great service will be back

Great place for sport fantastic atmosphere The staff was great remember my drink after a few pints couldn’t fault the place fantastic place

Very helpful happy staff. Nice food and nice atmosphere

Lunch with in law very good gluten free menu

Staff were so friendly and helpful, Bryan and Kayleigh in particular went above and beyond for us, my partner was so happy they were showing the football which meant I got to stay longer to sample a few cocktails! We’ll be sure to come back soon to try some of the new menu items! Thank you again

Amazing service from all staff. Service was very quick and efficient. Would highly recommend. Definitely will be returning

Tasty, hot nachos with lovely pulled pork on them. Best I've tasted in a long time. Friendly staff and a nice relaxed atmosphere 🙂

Needs a good make over.marstons should be ashamed.

They have brought back the larger menu, which is great. The food was lovely, but my partners dinner was a bit cold on arrival. Service was ok. I had to ask for a children's menu as I couldn't find one on any nearby tables or at the bar. Polite staff but nothing extra given. The atmosphere was ok, but it was cold. Outside doors were left open, and the heating wasn't on. When mentioned to the staff, they said, "Yes, they do that sometimes." Just an idea... They offer a 5 and under food menu. Maybe supply little forks and spoons? The decoration and cleanliness could be improved but overall an ok experience.

Do’t bother with the food. Atmosphere was ok and waiting staff very polite. But… the food was awful. I had Christmas dinner, all vegetables were frozen including the non crispy roast potatoes, this sprouts and broccoli were mush, and the one slice of turkey I could have used as a roof tile it was so hard. Prawn cocktail start tasteless. Even the bread was dry. My friends who had burgers said the fries were really dry, just like chip stick crisps!! It was pretty busy so not excuse really. Won’t be returning for tood any time soon.

Really good pub! Nice and friendly staff, and very delicious food. Amazing atmosphere 😍

Annoyed that I feel disrespected by the staff at the Spa. If you don't have what is advertised on the menu then I should have been given the opportunity to change my order, do not bring my meal short of what was expected and say nothing. The curry was watery like a frozen meal and the nan bread was soft in some places but hard like a crisp in others. I do not want to be contacted by you but treat people as customers that you value. Met my son in here for food and drinks. His burger was ok but my curry not so good. This place has hardly changed for 20 years and why should it. Normally food alright but curry not good, if they had mango chutney it wouldn't have saved the meal.

We had an amazing time with friends. The festive menu was brilliant proper turkey and the desserts sublime. The staff were incredible so professional and attentive. Be back in January with 12 of us. The facilities were very clean.

Lorraine the barmaid was really friendly and helpful

Been coming for years! Young girl being the bar with glasses was great, remembered what my mates and I was drinking. Will definitely coming back, looking for what the new management bring to the place

I came in for the festive menu and it was absolutely amazing!Couldnt fault it at all, all the staff was lovely especially the two young girls behind the bar. Will definitely be coming back

Hi , The Famous Old Spa team Many thanks for organising the table for my visiting friends , especially my unfortunate Handicaped colleague . Steaks and Chicken Hunter ,delicious, served speedily to order. A Cosy and Friendly Atmosphere . See you soon

Food was good, proper local pub. Waitress was very attentive and friendly.

From the 1st contact to book our group of 37 for our Christmas bash all staff were so helpful. We were greeted by a member of staff on the night who introduced himself as the person who would be taking care of us. We were served swiftly which was great. Everyone, in stages, then went to the carvery to help themselves to veg as much or little as you wanted, so thank you from bar, front of house to the kitchen, we had a great night 😁

What a super Xmas function the Spa hosted for 36 of us. Lovely food & a super atmosphere. Will definitely visit again.

We use this venue alot to catch up with work events and meet ups. It’s always friendly efficient and a great place with great atmosphere !!!
