The perfect overnight stay in Dorchester, passing through. An excellent price. Central to all amenities, other pubs and nearby fish and chips and the river. Host, Chris, was welcoming and friendly and helpful when asking questions about the nearby areas. Our room was neat and well presented. Overall the atmosphere in the pub itself was friendly and warm. A classic pub and inn!

Bad atmosphere. Clicky ! Visited as fancied seeing what a local proper pub was like rather than the Wetherspoons close by which we use when we’re on a break in Dorchester. We were a group of 4 and my goodness if you’re not a local don’t bother ! The barman was fine. It’s the regulars who Made us feel VERY uneasy and to be honest we couldn’t drink up fast enough and leave. Wouldn’t advise eating there either if the “cleanliness “ of the pub anything to go by

Popped into this pub to get out of the rain, there was a table of about 6 people near the bar and while waiting to be served I could hear the most appalling language especially from a woman, every other word was an F -word, I'm no prude but this is totally unacceptable, and what made it worse was the lady behind the bar, who must have heard this foul mouthed woman, never battered an eyelid, she obviously used to this behaviour. Thankfully I could see no children in the pub during my very short stay.

Riff raff establishment. We booked over the phone and whilst in the shower we were told the room was double booked by someone online and we had to leave. This was 7pm! Unprofessional is an understatement.

Visited Dorchester the other day , feeling a pub much was needed to popped into the Old Ship for a pint and something to eat . The pub itself was clean , panelled walls and some very uncomfortable seats. The young lady behind the bar obviously didn’t know what a shandy was as she completely lost when attempting to pour the drink and my wife ended up with a lager. The food itself was ok but that was just it , the ploughman wrap was tasteless and the chips were actually quite nice . The chicken wrap lacked chicken … My point of shipyard ale was pleasant which is always a winner

I would just like to say a massive thank you to the staff in this lovely little pub , not busy for a Saturday afternoon but it was full of smiles and everyone was extremely accommodating, I couldn’t have asked for a better welcome as me and my partner were stranded due to a breakdown on the roadside , the staff welcomed us in made sure we had drinks and a comfortable place to wait , the girl behind the bar deserves an even bigger thank you for talking to us often and even making sure our puppy and 6 month old were fed watered and comfortable… impeccable service and all round lovely people , THANK YOU ❤️ Sophie and olly ❤️

I was late getting to room as working at Dorchester, was given room 3. Seemed clean when i walked in. On closer inspection bed and towels were clean, but the room was very dirty. Spoons were dirty, never been washed, skirting was dusty, looked like it hadnt been cleaned for weeks. I honestly didn’t feel like stopping in the room. It was most probably worst room i have stayed in for years.

Called in twice during a stay in Dorchester (June 24) as a couple. Had a meal both times. All 4 meals were very tasty, especially the burger and curry. In conservation with the landlord , l understand he has only just taken over. Hopefully he makes a go of it. Only a limited menu at the minute, but as stated before all meals were good and reasonably priced.

A place to be avoided! I stayed for 1 night. The room was badly in need of redecoration. The bathroom was supposed to be en suite but was across a corridor which was supposed to be private but which was being used. The pub's website showed a food menu but there was no food. Very poor value for money at £90 per night!

We attempted to stay here for the night a few weeks ago. We are a family of four and a Dog. I was asked to pay for the room before being given the key to the room. At this point I was also informed that the chef was on Holliday so there was no food available. When we got to the room we find that for our £140 we didn’t even have an en-suite bathroom. We presumably had the unlocked (Not Very Private) toilet that was over the hall way from our room. On finding this out I immediately went back downstairs to try and resolve the issue and ask whether there was another room available as this was not suitable for us. The lady behind the bar did give me the keys to another room however on inspection the room was full of personal belongings. I immediately returned back downstairs without even fully entering into the room as I felt embarrassed. The lady did attempted to call the landlord who was not on the premises and could not be contacted. I explained that this was just not suitable and unacceptable. My wife was so upset that she began to have a panic attack. I asked for a refund to my card and told the bar maid that we would find somewhere else to stay for the night. The woman behind the bar was very nice and apologetic but said that she couldn’t do refunds as she didn’t have that option but promised me that it wouldn’t be a problem the landlord was a genuine guy and we would definitely get a refund. My only comfort is that I used my credit card to pay for the room. Hopefully the credit card company will have a better chance of getting us a refund than I have up to now. Three weeks later and multiple conversations with Martin the manager to sort the issue out still no response. As an added note there is no where to park we had unload on double yellows and it’s apparently a seven min walk to the nearest pay and display. There was one parking space but the car occupying the space looked suspiciously like it may have been the landlords car. This had been explained when booking but it may make you think again before booking.

Lovely clean and well set it out pub ,good music, great atmosphere .good selection of beers and cider etc. Friendly staff and we both had the Vegetable Lasagne with salad and baked Ciabatta. The lasagne was the best I have ever had, with the most unckious sauce and I could easily have just had a bowl of the delicious salad as that was superb. What more could you want great tasting food with a cold pint in a warm pub on a cold winters day. Top marks. Highly recommend and to top it off there's 10%of drinks and 20% off food in January 2024. Get yourselves down then and try it for yourselves

This is a great pub. It's in the centre of Dorchester, the drink prices are very cheap, and since it has been under new management (Michelle and Andy), the place has a lovely, warm, friendly atmosphere. We had my fiancée's birthday drinks there recently, and Michelle and Andy made it very special-even putting up banners and balloons. They have regular live music playing - which Dorchester desperately needs. A very welcoming place to be in....which is now our new local pub 😄👍

We rang and asked if we could reserve an area for guests of a Baptism. This wasn’t something they usually did so they created a buffet spread for us and reserved the back area and it was absolutely perfect. The food was delicious and the area the of the pub was perfect for our small group of guests. Lovely afternoon and the staff was so accommodating, especially as the buffet wasn’t normally offered so they really went above and beyond to do this for us! Thank you 😊

After paying £75 for the room we were very disappointed, with the standard of the cleanliness of the room, the toilet seat and system were very loose, no toilet roll holder, there was a pack of cheap toilet tissue you get in a public convenience,the cups didn't fit on the saucers, the one blind was broken. On a positive note the bedding and towels were clean, but on the whole we were very disappointed with room 1 at the back of the pub.

Called in Wetherspoons and they had no burger rolls, so thought we’ed give the ship a go. What a mistake, the barman should have realised when we asked for a steak knife to cut a yorkie pudding. My Granddaughter asked for the Yorkshire pud filled with mash potatoes and three sausages. Well they were three tiny cocktail Yorkshire puds filled with instant mash and three cocktail sausages, the puds hadn’t been cooked but pinged in the microwave which instantly made them as hard as rock, totally inedible. Complained and chose lasagne,salad with garlic bread. Well it arrived with a tiny slither of lettuce one slice of tomato and one thin dried up piece of garlic bread. But the lasagne was one sheet of pasta over a dessertspoon of meat then topped up with about a kilo of melted cheese, to cap it all it was also burnt. Now as for the burgers, the rolls are obviously kept frozen then wacked in the microwave to defrost, resulting in a solid rock of bread. When the barman came over I wacked it on the table to show him how hard it was. We were the only people eating in the bar and they took an hour to produce a meal that was totally inedible. Will never cross the threshold again.

We should have known better when at first taking a look through the windows and the place was empty. Unfortunately we had cycled 20+ miles and were hungry, so we decided to venture in.... big mistake!!! Barmaid told us she was also the chef, and that they were serving Sunday Roast. We ordered 6 Roast beef and asked did they have horseradish sauce to go with the beef? ‘Course we do’ was the reply. After a laborious 40+ minute wait we’re were faced with what I can only describe as the worst Sunday Roast I have ever been presented with, and guess what... there was no horseradish sauce. The barmaid/chef??? then tried to make lite of this and said that someone had used it without her knowledge????? Not convinced it was even beef! To add insult to injury there was no real ale on tap, the guy that covered for the barmaid whilst she was in the kitchen was next to useless - he didn’t know how to make orange juice and lemonade!

Visited the Fun Factory on a rainy day with my baby. To book in, other children in the waiting area were running into his pram. The gates were hard to open. Upon arrival, we were told, that the only available tables were upstairs and there was no lift! I had to carry the baby and pram up the stairs. Walking through the downstairs department was like trying to run through a jungle. We finally got to our table which was covered in what looked like chewed food and saliva and all over the chairs too. I am aware that soft play areas are noisy but this was more than that. I took the baby down to play in the under 3's section which was a tiny cage. There weren't many activities for him to play with. The baby mirror in there was dirty, the ball pit was over crowded. To get on the slide, it was a climb and with a baby, it proves impossible. Older children were coming in the baby section and scaring him and leaving the gate open which I was furious about. The sensory toys were broken. A 7 year old girl was in there throwing balls at him too and I had a go at her mum and told them to get out. I told a member of staff and they did nothing about it. He also had some lunch there which looked cheap and processed. You could literally see the fat dripping off it. You are apparently allowed to take the babies in the older children's play area but I was straight away put off when i saw the filth on some of the children's socks and the rate they were running around! In order to make this a better place you really need to add a lift, make a better play area for babies, get friendlier and more helpful staff, healthier food, clean the place and maybe even give it a revamp, buy more toys for the baby area and in general make it more appealing. Until Fun Factory up their game, I'm certainly not going back. Unless you want your babies to have a day of being in the worst play area of all time, don't come here!

Was all set to enjoy a coffee in my favourite Costa ( see review Jan 23 ) when I witnessed the best example of managerial skill I have ever seen . I imagine that the customer in question may have underlying social problems . He was unbelievable rude - over a cookie . The abuse that staff were subjected to because they had unfortunately sold out was totally disproportionate. Sir , get a life . Staff , well done for the calm and professional way you handled an extremely unpleasant situation !
