The Ice Cream Parlour in Purbeck

Very tasty, great prices, top chippy

DO NOT get the steak and ale pie. It’s worse than a supermarket microwaveable one. The chips portion was hardly there and it cost £16. I ended up sharing my daughter’s nuggets and chips. There was no steak. The gravy was basically water. Honestly the worst value for money and pie ever. Don’t order this. And if you can avoid it eat somewhere else. The photo uploaded is what was delivered. No chips eaten. Literally that small of a portion

Came across this pub on our way to Weymouth and was delighted by the fantastic reception that we received from the manageress. She was extremely welcoming to both us and our dog and showed such enthusiasm that we were blown away. As it was a cold day we ordered bangers and mash which hit the spot. Nothing fancy but just good plain food. Also looks a good place for Motorhome / camper stopovers. Would certainly return if in the area.

Having been been here a couple of years previous while on holiday at 1 of the many campisite close by and enjoyed our meal so we suggested to our friends to book a table for a group of us while spending the Easter break on the caravan sites nearby WHAT A MISTAKE The meal turned up eventually with 2 carrots that was an inch long 1 sliver of roast parsnip that was very woody the meat was so thin you could see through it (and the beef my husband had was very very slimy) the rest of the vegetables were raw I've heard of aldente but they were in a different league altogether , . We won't be recommending this venue to anyone it was the worse Subday lunch we've ever eaten and that's saying something

Food and staff are fantastic, would definitely go again!
