The John Gregory in Weymouth and Portland

Absolutely gorgeous little find. Food is amazing, the staff are efficient and very friendly. It's nice and quiet with a free car park nearby. I travelled for 45 minutes to get to this pub as I knew it would be worth it. Thank you for the service everyone. 👍🏻

Lovely lunch with the girls. A cheep light lunch for those who wanted it. However we went the whole hog. Lovely

Nice atmosphere and great decor. Friendly staff, good drink selection, and tasty food. Thanks for an entertaining evening

We hadn't booked a table as it was a spur of the moment decision to try the John Gregory, I recommend booking a table as the place was packed. Our waiter and waitress were lovely. Very polite and friendly. Our order arrived quickly and piping hot. Delicious food. We will be back!!!!

We went here with our sons, daughters in law and grandson, to celebrate my Birthday. Husband booked a table for 8 a few weeks before. We arrived to be told we had cancelled the booking earlier that afternoon. When we said we hadn't, we told several times by a couple of staff but then the one young lady said "get a drink and we will sort you a table". Further discussion went on between staff and what I assume was the manager over whose fault it was and then they finally sorted us a table. From then on, service was good, and the food was all great and reasonably priced. Have booked to return with friends.

Visited The John Gregory on the 16th Feb to celebrate my mum's 80th birthday with the family and as always the service was excellent, the staff went above what was required. We all had different meals that were all hot and out in time, excellent value for money to.Would always recommend this pub,plenty of parking. Give the John Gregory a try they all work hard and deserve to do well Very Happy customer Anita 🙂

Arrived to be advised that as my booking was made online it wasn’t received (apparently a scammer got in). Even though they were very busy, we were accommodated in such a friendly welcoming manner. The service is excellent and the food is always presented well. A huge “thank you” to the staff!

We all went for a family roast dinner at the JG yesterday 9/2, We arrived got seated and ordered some drinks. The Sunday roast was spot on I did go for the large option and the food arrived hot and plentiful and the service was great very polite and hard working FOH team. Highly recommend 10/10

Good food, good drink, nice staff. Overall a good experience. Would come back.

Lovely well priced food, great service and fine beer. The staff were polite, helpful and attentive

Good value during midweek lunchtimes. Basic pub fare but good portions and tasty.

Good service. Value food.friendly staff

Went here for a birthday party food and service was excellent and great value for money.

Fantastic food and service from all the amazing team. Benn many times and every experience was fabulous! Will visit many times more. Thank you!

Fantastic lunch with parents at the JG. Staff very attentive and helpful and food was superb. Everything clean and well presented and a thoroughly enjoyable visit. Will be visiting again soon. Regards to Nellie!

Absolutely fantastic place. We hadn't booked but we're accommodated with no fuss..We all had the Roast beef dinner. We had 3 very generous slices of beef, mash,green beans,peas,carrots,Yorkshire pudding, stuffing and 3 delicious roasties. Staff were friendly and courteous will be returning..

Excellent all round family pub with a good choice of food at reasonable prices. Service is excellent. Beef pie is yummy.

Great food, cooked perfectly & served nice & hot. Staff are all fabulous & work hard to make sure we were all happy & looked after. Thankyou to Victor & the JG Team for a very enjoyable pre- christmas lunch👌

Food and service excellent. Have told friends they must try it.

The food was really good but the staff were excellent! Nothing was too much trouble. Two gents in particular were checking on us appropriately all the time and were humorous and interacting throughout. No complaints at all.

Excellent in every respect. We revived a very warm welcome . No need for booking today but it was busy.the staff were very informative and enthusiastic. The good came quickly and was excellent. Not an expensive meal but very good quality and well presented. Good selection of alcohol free beverages including Guinness as of today. Well worth a visit.

They have a great menu for those of us with small appetites, at a great price. It was lovely.

Great food and friendly staff, love it

We have visited this Pub on numerous occasions. Never booked until this weekend as they are getting very popular. Sunday Roast is very good. Service is good as well. Food arrived promptly and was hot. Extra sauces were brought over quickly. Smaller roast available for children or our elder relatives. Adult roast £13.20.

We were made to feel welcome as soon as we walked in. An interesting (unusual?) choice of food that works really well. Also dog friendly. We'll be back!

We have been coming for weeks for the Thursday's specials. The food is Delicious, fresh and hot. The staff are very friendly and attentive. We thoroughly enjoy the atmosphere. Highly recommend. On the deal menu I recommend the steak and ale pie, the lasagna option and the burgers. We Have tried other options aswell and can say it's great to have lots to chose from. Great team !

The service was really good and had a great pub atmosphere. I would avoid the fried chicken burger as it didn't taste great and was extremely greasy. I would suggest they do proper fried chicken as opposed to the chicken they currently offer.

Great place just out of town. Free car park and local shops nearby. Booking is recommended on evenings when they push certain foods. Staff are polite, friendly and knowledgeable. Bar area and pub games also on ground floor. Food is good quality. Large groups catered for.

Had a roast dinner here on Sunday and it was absolutely delicious! Staff friendly and polite. Will definitely go back for more. Thank you!

Absolutely brilliant family meal celebrating two grandsons' birthdays. There were 15 of us, and the food and service were faultless. Would highly recommend to anyone 👌it goes without saying that they are obviously child friendly.

Never been here before - tasty food, with attentive staff and quick service - reasonably priced too...

Superb value, honest pub grub, very friendly staff and a very welcoming environment. Highly recommended!

Just had a wonderful birthday meal here in my favourite place

Just been to my favourite place in southill Weymouth The John Gregory Another delicious meal Have never had a bad meal here in all my time of going there. Staff are always happy and welcoming .Going Again Next Week..

A very comfortable atmosphere and excellent service in these difficult times

This was our first time, and we were introduced by friends. We were very impressed and very happy it was dog friendly a bonus . And the staff were very friendly.

Nice friendly local pub excellent meal again tonight.

Such an excellent place to eat and socialise,went there for Sunday lunch,but this time had the Steak and Ale short crust pastry pie green beans, peas and asked for roast potatoes instead of mash which is never a problem if you want to change, absolutely delicious.Are waitress on this visit was the lovely Lolo who hasn't been there very long but very attentive smiling and friendly a great addition to the team.Are favourite place to eat. Kind regards Anita Ricketts 🙂x

Always a good experience at the John Gregory. Friendly staff, good service and great food. Prices are reasonable too and they offer excellent weekday deals.

Excellent staff, really appreciated how good they were.

Excellent in all ways possible ! We turned inland from the usual holiday resort restaurants etc to find this local pub in a small suburban shopping area with plenty of free parking on the car park serving it .. Atmosphere was great with local families and friends meeting , despite not booking ( not clear from the web site you could or should ) the friendly staff found us a table . The meal came quicker than any other pub experience and quality and value was just … well… brilliant - two for less than the price of one in the resort I: clearly recommend this pub and its staff most enthusiastically !

First class food The staff are always very pleasant and friendly nothing is too much trouble. Go down once or twice a week

Great find!! Food was awesome, service was great!

Very friendly staff who go out of their way to help you and advise. Good food, good menu and prices are brilliant. Highly recommended

I have reveiwed the John Gregory before but I would still love to tell everybody who lives or visits the area to make a bee line for this pub/restuarant, you will definately not be dissapointed. From the minute you walk through the door it is outstanding. The staff are so attentive and polite and have great banter with all. There is a certain young lady (Chloe) who stands out (if any can) from the rest, she is always polite, funny and an absolute credit to the pub/restuarant. The meals (especially the fish & chips) are the best I have had, the service is as quick or slow as you wish and the food is superb, the chef must be paid a fortune, all the meals are served piping hot and the pricesare outstanding. I think Mon-Thurs, two mains are £16.50, what a bargain. I cannot reccomend this place enough, what a jewel in the crown to have in Southill, Weymouth. Please make sure you go, thanks Chloe and all the team, you are great!!!

Fabulous food served from friendly staff, never wait either. Always busy as it's so good 😊

Great staff excellent service, we had a party of 15 and they were very efficient and friendly, even though they were busy, they still were smiling

First time here, and absolutely loved it. Staff couldn't of been more helpful or friendly. Lovely atmosphere, good food, piping hot and tasty, great value too. Very interesting menu, different from other pubs. Lovely relaxed vibes like Harvester used to be. Really enjoyed our visit, and will certainly be back. The lady and the gent who served us were brilliant. Jaffa cake dessert is a must.

Best Staff around Weymouth. Make you very welcome, and nothing is too much trouble. Best scampi around!

Family meal last night, the staff are all lovely and polite. The food is good & the service is fast. Had a really good time Oh the desserts are a bit yummy too 😋

Lovely menu, well trained staff, good value food - this local place is a perfect find for a mid week friends get together. Thankyou!

Had a lovely meal for my step dad's 70th Birthday. Food was lovely, arrived quickly and hot. Service was really good and food was delivered quickly. Would recommend this place and will return.

Haven't eaten here for a few years and last Sunday (29th July) 4 of us went for Sunday lunch. The whole experience was wonderful. The staff, food and atmosphere were on top form. A huge thank you to Liam and his staff. Keep up the fantastic work

Can't complain about the prices, reasonable food at reasonable prices.

Went last week with some friends, have not been to this pub in around 15/17 years and then it was a slight dissapointment. This pub/restuarant has changed drastically and all for the better. We were there for luch and noticed on the menu that Mon/Thurs 2 main meals are £16.50 with a huge choice of meals. They also have a specials board but we had fish & chips which come with Tartare sauce, big bit of fish, lots of chips & Mushy peas or garden peas. Wife had Scapmi & chips which were served with the same. Served by a very preety young lady called Chloe whose personality & demenour is fantastic, nothing was too much for her & she was just great, if only I was (55) years younger LOL I woud have married her. The food does not take overly long to come to your tabele & the greatest thing about it is, it is piping hot & so tasty. Brilliant meal and brilliant service. Went again today with other friends hoping that the service would be as good. It was absolutely fantastic. Four meals (piping hot again) this time, three of us had the fish platter which consited of same size of cod, plus 5/6 Scampi & large fishcake with all the trimmings. Other meal was just Scampi & chips (12 pieces, large). 4 Pints of London Pride, Brandy & coke, lareg white wine spritzer, flat white coffee & agian there she was Chloe, this girl is an asset to that place, she is so bubbly & friendly. Total cost £90.00 All I can say is, if in the area visiting or you live here check out the John Gregory at Southill for a great time. 6 stars out of 5.

We had lovely roast dinner's and desserts. Excellent value for money with friendly staff

Absolute diamond this, Great staff and amazing food. Cocktails were superb. Definitely recommend a visit here. The seating inside and outside is lovely 😍

Nice place, first time I've been there, would go again if we are in the area.

Excellent food.A group of 7 of us, we were greeted and shown our table .served quickly and the food was deliciousl Just the right sized portions .Have been 3 times before and it has always been of a great standard.Highly recommended.Booking again very soon. 😊

Lovely food as always. Great place to eat

This is are second time at this lovely pub. There's not enough spaces for more star ratings as l would have given more.The service from the time you arrive to the time you leave is very accommodating kind and friendly, Saffron was are waitress who looked after us and made sure we had everything.We had three Sunday Roasts and something from the menu which looked so tasty, compliments to the chief.Have rebooked as this is are go to place when visiting my parents.Well done to all the lovely staff in and behind the scenes kind Regards Anita Ricketts 🙂

Amazing experience, fitted 8 of us in at short notice when another restaurant messed our booking up . Glad they did mess it up as our food and whole experience here was soo worth it - thankyou to you all

Go to weymouth on holiday once or twice a year and we go here to eat everytime it's fantastic, wonderful food, staff are fantastic and prices are good too. Table service which is also a bonus.

Today I brought my son along for lunch, who is a very fussy eater and has certain habits with his food. Usually he just orders chips and peas and won't touch anything else, as he won't eat different foods to the norm at home, which is fruit, salad, cheese, eggs and very occasionally bacon. The lady who served us offered bacon, not realising it's the only meat he will eat and also realising he doesn't like things mixed on a plate to put each option in little bowls. Never seen my son so happy. Thank you for making him enjoy a meal out with us and not made to feel he's different. He kept saying about it and wants to come back again. I am really impressed with the young ladies awareness and acceptance of how he is. She is an asset to your team.

Visited to meet friends for Sunday Lunch... Great meal good service and helpful staff. Not the cheapest but the food was very good and all the staff had a smile. Although £172.00 for six initially sounds expensive but that included two rounds of drinks for six people.

The John Gregory was recommended to me this week,as my parents live there we went for father's day roast,and what an absolute delight to finally find somewhere that does a really great carvery, front of house was so welcoming,and are table service Chloe was so lovely to,we met the own that was as son has taken over know, really deserve to do well as they worked really hard to. Will be visiting again as the new go-to place to eat Thank you for a great Father's Day for my family.From the Ricketts 🙂

Good food fantastic service very enjoyable meal would recommend it

Great staff, roomy outdoor seating and a nice interior , a good place for food and drink

Recently moved to Southill . We are so happy to have this Pub on our doorstep. Lovely food and friendly staff. Really well run establishment.

Really good pub grub experience, was busy when we visited but staff were great,will return.

Very good bar with great food. Joined family for an event and we had a good time

Lost for words. Amazing food. Staff very accommodating, fabulous service. Staff were so helpful and lovely. Highly recommend

Such a great pub. The staff are lovely and the food is delicious. The atmosphere is really warm and welcoming with a great selection of music playing. The prices are very reasonable and it's family friendly. Thank you for a fantastic experience.

Great atmosphere,great staff,great food and great service....well done ✅ 💯%

Lovely meal at a competitive price, polite friendly staff.

An enjoyable experience. Good food, great atmosphere. We were there to celebrate one of my grandchildrens 11th birthday, in the dining area. Lovely service. Highly recommend.

We went to the John Gregory last night with friends and we took our Grandson too who is 3 1/2. We all had our meal and then our Grandson had a tantrum as he wanted more pudding and we said no. The manager came straight over and said that the table behind us had complained about the noise. He could clearly see that my husband had taken my Grandson outside to calm him down. I was completely stunned and was made to feel embarrassed rather than congratulated for trying to teach my Grandson boundaries. I then went over to the manager and asked who and why had they complained? He replied that nobody had actually complained and that it was his duty of care to the customers to come over. I then reminded him that it was a family pub and that we were regulars and it had never happened before. I will not be returning.

The food was standard pub grub, nothing wrong with it but not very exciting.

This is a great venue in the summer. The seating area is great, and the tapas style food is lovely!

I’m not in the habit of writing bad, moaning reviews so I’ll try and be constructive. The JG is our local pub where we’ve visited and eaten many times. I arrived this lunchtime with my 93-year old mum who needs a rollator to walk. We stood as instructed in order to be seated. However the staff I could see paid absolutely no attention to us. Not even a hello and welcome. Eventually one team member did come up and asked if we’d booked (we hadn’t, but had never had to). When we said no, she walked off again leaving my mum to struggle. I accept that they were busy, but you cannot simply leave an elderly person standing like that. When I tried to point this out when we finally did sit (out of necessity rather than being shown the table), she started arguing with me. When I pressed my point, her supervisor waded in and without trying to find out what the issue was, started defending the girl. (It wasn’t about her in the first place, but about my mum being left to stand too long). Supervisor suggested if we weren’t happy we could always choose to leave. Learning points: welcome your customers with a smile, provide training in dealing with the elderly, learn how to deal with de-escalate a situation rather than the opposite, listen to the customer - they’re not always right, but they may have a point. The food and value was as ever good.

Nice place to eat. On the cheaper side of pub grub, but the quality doesn't suffer. I would recommend booking in advance.

Nice food with a good choice menu Pub atmosphere with a good selection of drinks Special price menu available Monday to Thursday and a fish special on Friday.

This was amazing. From the minute we booked it. Kind, courteous and fantastic service and highly recommend this friendly pub .

I dined here thus evening and it was my first time. The pub looks great, the food was lovely and the team were really friendly. We didn't have a booking but they found us a table quickly (table for 3 people). Thank you for such a lovely evening

We love The John Gregory. The food is good pub grub and the staff and service are excellent. The fish and chips, with a drink for £11.00 on Friday, is a fantastic deal.

Brilliant mother's day lunch Service second to none Friendly staff

First time here traveled from Bournemouth to collect Bluetooth speaker from up the road ask the lady about the pub restaurant and she said it was very good so came in. Had chicken goujon burger and chips with bacon. Great service. Great timing staff well done to the kitchen 🐐

Proper pub grub well done! We always used to go prior to the refurbishment. The pub is nice, clean and warm! The staff are lovely and make you feel very welcome! I have visited 3 times over the last month and can say I have not been let down! There is something for everyone, good hearty pub grub and plenty of it! Just be warned it does get busy from 1200 to 1400. The beer is well priced to boot! I will definitely be back again.

It was busy when I was there, but had a great atmosphere, hence the slightly slow service rating. Good selection of pub grub priced reasonably

Had lunch for family celebration large group all enjoyed food - wide selection including children's meals. Staff friendly, helpful and efficient. Will be visiting again. Thank you.

First time visiting, and won't be our last. Food and service was fantastic.

Was very surprised and disappointed by the unwelcoming attitude of one of the Servers. Our meals were wonderful and served by a lovely Server. We will definitely return….we were just surprised.

Lovely pub looked after us away fans well! Pleasant staff reasonable prices :)

Great people ! Great place! 1000% recommended !

I have been here on a number of occasions and have always had excellent service, staff are friendly and very helpful. Our food arrived quickly and was clearly freshly cooked. I would recommend this pub.

The food was beautifully cooked and delicious. The staff were friendly and professional. I really couldn't fault a thing. We've found our new go to eatery!

Do not go here they are very rude to there customers if you haven't got a table booked you get asked to leave and don't pay for there services will never go there again

Christmas day lunch outstanding lovely meal great service staff welcoming especially Liam and chloe who made it special

My Sister's birthday meal with family. Excellent service and food, highly recommend.
