Marquis of Granby in West Dorset

Had great difficulty in contacting this establishment as no one seems to answer the phone but after trying on many occasions managed to speak to an employee so don’t give up!!! On arrival wasn’t impressed with greeting as the bartender disappear for at least 10 minutes to confirm our booking. The food was very good , reasonably priced and nicely presented on hot plates and the serving staff very pleasant. Pity about first impression.

Lovely abeyance delightful staff as ever and service great. But food average and expensive. My Linguine was basic little seafood and the prawns look a bit tired and no sauce. Very disappointed. And as for my crab starter a thick butter topping with a minuscule amount of crab meat underneath.

Sunday carvery was awesome. Well cooked beef nice and pink, good veggies, very nice gravy. Would go again when in Weymouth

Lunch time menu was lovely, my Jacket potato and salad was brilliant!

Excellent food and great service good quality and value for money

Good and attentive staff member serving us , good portion size and tasty

Asked about bar snacks said didn't do them had a drink and went elsewhere And we saw bowl of chips being delivered to customer has we were leaving the bar

Has a great steak beautifully cooked. Service was impeccable.

We've driven past this place for the past 7 years since we've been coming down to Weymouth, but only just popped in today as we were in desperate need for a carvery! Safe to say we'll be coming regularly from now on as food was delicious, with all 3 meats being cooked to perfection. Plus the staff were all really friendly and welcoming.

Lovely welcoming restaurant staff very helpful and food was excellent the sea bass was so nice and excellently served I would recommend it

Just a superb carvery. Highly recommended

Excellent carvery. Very busy on a Sunday lunchtime. Felt a bit cramped as we were sat by the bar..food and drink were excellent

Greasy fish batter and some chips needing more cooking.

We visited on Sunday to enjoy the carvery. I was a little disappointed we could only order rare beef and there was no chicken or turkey option. The rest of the carvery was excellent. There were a delicious selection of deserts which were all of a very good size.

Lovely food and loads of options. Very reasonable!! Staff are all lovely!!

Loved it here. We had Sunday roast. Carvery. Delicious. The beef was cooked to perfection. And the veg were fresh. Just a little thing was that as we went later owing to tables not available earlier, the roast potatoes were dry and hard. The cauliflower cheese had gone watery. Desert choice was good. We returned and I had shepherds pie which was accompanied by chips and peas. The other meal was a steak again cooked to perfection. The staff were very welcoming and efficient and helpful. Very nice pub restaurant. Will return definitely

Tuesday quiz night, great night. Fabulous staff, fantastic food, any day for food you can b sure your meal will be fab &if not say so & the staff will b only 2happy to rectify any problems. We love this place for it's happy & relaxed atmosphere.

Excellent food and service! Stayed locally for holidays and came here four times, including quiz night on the Tuesday and Sunday lunch. The food was really good, steak and ale pie gets a big thumbs up!! Great pub, clearly well run and would highly recommend. If we’re back in the neighbourhood again we’d come back, and if it’s on a quiz night get some help for our Mick the Chip quiz team (2 of us) to do better 😂😂😂

Dissapointing carvery, first visit since take over. We called to add 2 extra placements to arrive and told no one knew about it? They did accomodate thank goodness. Parsnips hard and bland, roast potatoes dry and appeared to be a new potato crisped off, not a patch on the crispy fuffly roasties we always enjoy here. Opted for strawberry eton mess for dessert, which was plentiful but consisted of only cream and merangue apart from one strawberry sat on the edge of the glass.... had much better carvaries here.

Orderd a ploughman's lunch after reading a review by someone who had said it was the best ever. It was the worst ever for me.The plate was mainly full of salad leaves tomatoes and carrot sticks.There was a handful of crisps a tiny portion of poor quality chutney 2 very small rolls and a tinyportion of cheese.Very poor. A ploughman's as far as I am concerned should have a generous selection of various cheese, Branston pickle and crusty bread or rolls with butter not a plateful of salad.Its £15 and if you have had a ploughman's before do not order it at this pub.

Booked a table of 10 for 5pm. Arrived at 5:03 only to be told that the table was booked for 4:30pm and just gave the table away. The manageress also said she called Moonfleet Manor where we were staying but could not get in touch with us. The hotel had no messages. It felt like she just did not want us there. A real disappointment. Be careful when you book.

Good honest pub, nice food and hard working friendly staff. Proper menu with plenty of options. 2 courses and 2 drinks for under £30 each.

Nice food, nice atmosphere, great service. What's not to love?

Table of 4 for Sunday Carvery. The pub was reasonably busy and the food was good when we got it. The service can only be described as appalling. After being shown to our table and waiting nearly 20 mins we had to catch the eye of a waitress to take our food order. At the time there were three of them stood talking. After we had eaten once more after about 25-30 mins we had to approach the bar to ask for our table to be cleared and for the dessert menu. It arrived fairly swiftly but given the attitude of the staff we declined, paid our bill and left. The staff really could not have cared less. In conclusioj a poor dining experience.

Excellent carvery fare with traditional roasts

Lovely staff, amazing food, fresh, quick and delicious! Can recommend 👌🏼

Lovely lunch, jacket with tuna mayo for me and burger and fries for him! We had a pot of tea each and we thoroughly enjoyed it all. Would recommend, and will be back I'm sure.

The chefs were hard at work making all the food, which was delicious—homemade and tasty. The kids had some great milkshakes, and the desserts were also homemade. The service was good, and the staff was attentive. It was very nice, and I would recommend it.

A very nice large pub, went for the carvery, lovely choice of meat and veg. but the gravy let it all down, it was so thin and watery. Such a shame as the gravy is important to me.

Fantastic meal and portions where huge, we will definitely eat here again when back in Weymouth.

A very busy Sunday Carvery 🤗 We arrived and our booked table had our name and was set ready . Our waitress gave us the menu sheet , and then took our drinks order . You choose your plate size and take it to the counter to have your choice of meat , travel along and there is a good selection of veggies, finish at the end with nice hot tasty gravy. We returned to find our at our drinks ready at our table I was so impressed , Me and my wife will be returning next Sunday . Ps l saw the deserts and if l had room would have had one 😊

Went for Sunday carvery but disappointed by not offering mash potatoes. Dog friendly place

Great place for meeting friends 😀

Best taste of food and choice of drinks. Texture and flavour is perfect. All freshly homemade ingredients. I love the mash potatoes with veggies.

First time ,short break with friends and friends family meet up could not fault food apart from Eton mess very sweet ,will ho back when on holiday again

Great atmosphere, friendly efficient staff.

This was a great find whilst on holiday. Sitting just outside weymouth town ment that it had great availability as most bar/restaurants in weymouth are almost fully booked day and night. The food was amazing, (cooked fresh in an open kitchen) the menu has a good selection of dishes that are reasonably priced, the staff were very friendly and welcoming. On the whole a very pleasant experience.

We came for Sunday roast which is a carvery with a choice between beef and pork. The food was tasty, but could have been warmer. It is a popular place and definitely suggested for beef and pork roast lovers.

We had a lovely meal here last night.😋Great food and reasonably priced.Very friendly staff too.

Quiz night on Tuesday's and miraculously my team do well, so it's a fab place.

Lovely food, lovely staff and a very nice atmosphere

Just left this place absolutely disgusting I had the beef with hoisin sauce, no sauce just gravy smelt and tasted awful had to tell them but they were happy for me to change to something else but by this time the first choice had put me off, the staff were great though 🙈

Dog friendly, food was delicious and value for money, definitely recommend 👌

The carvery was OK but could have been a lot hotter wouldn't go back for the carvery was there a few days ago the food was good

Really good food and well looked after. Dog friendly, which is always good for us. Try the carvery..... Beef was amazing!

Love this place. Generous servings of delicious food. Xx

First visit to this pub. Doesn't look like a typical pub from the outside but saw the other reviews recommending the food and they were absolutely right. Portions were huge and food was excellent quality. Service was excellent too. Definitely give it a go.

They squeezed us in last minute on a bank holiday weekend. The carvery was delicious with a good selection of food. Absolutely delicious.

Great Sunday Carvery, plenty of choice and well cooked.

Beautiful food and friendly staff

Wonderful landlady & landlord tasha& Justin. & other staff friendly. Food is freshly cooked perfect. Tasty menu. Sunday roast beautyful good prices. Restaurant & pub very clean. Large car park, we 💯 recommend you vist this restaurant and pub

The best hunters chicken ever!!! Very friendly and helpful staff. There were 21 of us all our food was served hot and at the same time. Definitely be returning

Brilliant service, nothing is too much trouble!

Visited 3 times during our 2 week stay at East Fleet Farm campsite. we cannot fault the food at all. Absolutely gorgeous. Menu is very well presented and caters for all tastes. Lots of different beers and ciders on tap. Staff are very welcoming and polite. Would highly recommend!!!

Very good value for a Sunday lunch, quite crowded. Whether that's good or bad depends on you point of view. It certainly has very friendly licensees, and it seems less crowded due to them spreading the carvery opening hours. Today, nice Friday night, very cosy, friendly and good to meet old friends. Lots of locals and a few visitors, very convivial.

Wife and I stopped for Saturday dinner very welcoming and friendly staff. Wife had Bubble and squeak with Haddock from the specials board and I had steak and Tanglefoot pie. The food came out and was piping hot. Cut into the pie and was filled to the top with delicious steak and gravy lovely short crust pastry with had not gone soggy like most pies do. Beautiful creamy mash and lashings of gravy. Haddock was done perfectly as was the egg on top. Would fully recommend. Beautiful tasty food.

It's fine, just fine. On the up side, the server we had was very friendly and quick to grab our drinks. A very tidy and friendly place to be in, and unlike a lot of pubs it understands the appropriate volume to have music where you can hear it but still able to have a conversation. On the other hand my food was rather bland. £23 for an 8oz steak that tasted as if it had no seasoning, and chips with little flavour is quite disappointing. Sadly the fudge cake was also just fine. Maybe I just had bad luck when it came to my order, but it was nothing special.

Eaten here twice, food excellent, staff polite, welcoming and attentive. Food served hot and in good time and full of flavour, don't let the tired furnishings put you off. Carvery on Sunday excellent value also.

Warm, friendly service, food is amazing.

Absolutely gorgeous vegan sunday roast, potatoes in particular were amazing. Lovely staff who were very helpful, definitely recommend!

Lovely lunch with friends, not over priced , Shepherds Pie absolutely delicious, pot of tea refreshed nicest lunch in an age, husband drooled over the Jam Sponge and custard, easy parking

Great staff and fantastic food. Extremely friendly people. Will return again

Went the Marquis of Granby after reading the reviews on Tripadvisor and we were not disappointed. The food was excellent, my wife and her mother had a Sunday roast from the carvery and both were very impressed . I myself had the ploughman’s , which I have to say , was probably the best I’ve eaten in many a year. The addition of the soup , is very much a bonus. The staff were very friendly and efficient, the chef was even happy to cook my wife’s beef a bit more as she spent like it to pink. I would highly recommend anyone to visit this place and I assure you , you will not leave disappointed. We will be back 👍 I would highly recommend

Following our visit to Weymouth..on our way home, decided to call into a local pub for a carvery. There was 4 of us, including one child (who is autistic) We were welcomed and accommodated immediately. 2 of us wanted a carvery and 1 adult chose from the menu a Homity pie and the child had chicken Gourjon, and swapped the chips for mash potato. As the carvery was on the servery, staff informed us when the other menu choices were being plated up, so we could eat together at the same time. Friendly staff, friendly atmosphere. Food was lovely! And very good value too. Even with our autistic child, who decided to play with his toys won (from the 2p coin drop machines in Weymouth) and play with his food, we weren't made to feel unwelcome. Found the whole experience relaxing..so thankyou 🙏 If we are in the area, we will visit again. Highly recommend!

We arrived around 5.30pm & shown to a table, the staff were attentive & friendly. There was plenty to choose from on the menu, initial thoughts were that the menu looked expensive but the food was amazing and worth every penny! We will definitely be visiting again.

Great food and a good selection available. Service was good but a little wait to be served between courses even though not busy however staff were helpful and polite.

Thank you to all the staff for a lovely lunch on Christmas Day. We were a party of 8, including 1 vegetarian. The meals all came out hot and were plentiful! We weren’t rushed and had plenty of time between courses.

So well looked after by all staff and food is great value for money.

Lovely atmosphere and friendly service. The 2 vegan options were delicious 😋 as was the vegan ice cream. A few more vegan options would have caused me to give 5 stars .

Very friendly and welcoming but the menu needs to be clearer especially gammon steaks not ham

The food was very good. 4 different meals and drinks .We all enjoyed it.

We gave this place a try last minute , what a find , Fantastic food with fair prices and wonderful staff ~ highly recommend

Christmas Turkey Dinner - was very tasty, good size portion and wholesome home cooked food, with extra large Yorkshire puddings. Dessert was amazing too. Can’t fault service or food, thankyou x

Lovely Sunday roast. Lovely staff and great service.

Seems to have lost its popularity Not a great deal of choice of food and no cocktails Menu typed on A4 paper Wasnt overly impressed with food or presentation but it was edible Food and drinks were slightly more expensive than the other places we have eaten at recently

Fabulous carvery, great service. Alysha was our fantastic waitress, polite, friendly attentive and great sense of humour. Thank you.

Delicious food and local ales. Fine service.

Hadn’t been in here for a while as had some bad experiences after it was taken over but we had a delicious meal, staff attentive, food hot and served quickly. Would come again

I have popped in here a few times for an after work drink... I cannot fault the bar staff... I cannot fault the venue It has always been quiet when I/we have visited. The menu looks good, but I have not eaten here It's a great place to go for a quiet after work drink... Good selection of drinks, friendly staff... and there is always a table free ! 👍

Great food and good portions. Recommend the Malteser Sundae

Don’t judge a book by its cover! We had the Sunday carvery it was very nice, could not fault it! Food was as tasty and hot. Young staff members very polite and accommodating. Nothing too much trouble. Easy to book online. Don’t be put off by the outside. Really nice restaurant and staff, very welcoming. Would recommend!

Arrived to be greeted by very attentive staff . Was here for the Sunday Carvery at 12.30 . The beef was very tender as was the pork . Unfortunately downside was the roast potatoes which tasted like they had been cooked left to go cold and then reheated . Not crispy at all . Choice of veg good although the red cabbage was cold as was the Yorkshire pudding which again had been cooked ages before serving . Did mention to staff and was told the chef would be informed . Not the worst meal but unfortunately won’t be returning as roast potatoes are an essential part of a Sunday Roast which for the princely sum of £15.25 was so disappointing . Great cup of coffee afterwards though .

Me an my wife go there a lot good food beer an the staff are great

We went for Sunday roast and it was excellent. I would definitely recommend a roast there.

Don't be put off by the exterior of this gem. It may look tired on the outside and a bit dated on the inside but the food and service was top notch. The toffee cheesecake was probably the best cheesecake I've ever had. We're here on holiday but hoping to find time to call in again for a decent meal before we go home. Lovely, friendly staff. Would highly recommend this family friendly restaurant.

We went there for a family buffet, the food and refreshments were really good, and the service was great. Drinks were reasonable, with a good selection.

Our nephew has relocated to Weymouth and I read reviews of pub & places to eat near him. This was suggested and we were pleasantly surprise. The staff were friendly, polite and very helpful, it was early evening and they were happy to fit us in. The food was hot, well presented and reasonably priced. The beer list was extensive and while this was an end of the week pub supper, it would certainly make me consider booking a return visit for a more leisurely meal. The building itself is quite unusual but distinctive and there is plenty of parking.

I had my retirement evening here and it was lovely, the staff were amazing, very young girls serving but so professional, food was great highly recommend

Quite expensive for pub food but was nice

Saw a good Google review and decided to try for myself whilst visiting the area. Friendly staff serving great food and drink.

Having eaten here a number of times, we were very disappointed on this occasion. Although the carvery was very acceptable it was overpriced compared to others in the town. The fish and chips, however, were abysmal. The fish was thoroughly overcooked to the point where the fish was dry, it was also cooked in dirty oil which was particularly unpleasant and the grey skin on the fish had not been removed. No-one came to the table until we had finished, when the waitress asked if everything was okay, as she cleared the plates including half of the fish and chips, and was told that it was overcooked and unpleasant but it went no further. We paid up and left but will not be rushing back.

Food good Staff helpful Dusabked a cess bit tight at doorway but managed

Very very good food,very good coffee Dog friendly outside

Very good food and friendly staff

Very friendly and efficient staff, excellent service. Carvery was delicious and very good value for money. Thanks all.

Food absolutely fantastic, staff lovely. Edit: food now average pub fare at above average prices. Menu and specials very limited. Staff still lovely.

Wow what a pub friendly staff fantastic food. My partner had the Sunday carvery and I had the Lamb mint kofte and was absolutely stunning. The desserts are huge and selection of drinks are great. If you are in Weymouth or surrounding areas visit this pub you won’t be disappointed.

Friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Plenty of parking. Ideal place to spend an evening chatting with friends.

Highly recommend the Sunday Roast. Every part of the meal was beautifully executed. Fluffy, crispy herby potatoes that melt in your mouth, juicy meats and an assortment of buttery veg. A “hidden” gem to anyone but the locals.

The food is OK but nothing special. I found the portions a little inconsistent, pub classics like the chicken burger and macaroni cheese were generous. My tortellini not so much. Compared to the other venues we ate at during our week in Weymouth, this was the most expensive. Service was fine.
