The Pymore Inn in West Dorset - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Fantatsic booked a table in the marquee but was told on arrival there was room indoors so we opted to eat inside away from some unruly doggies that like to bark at everyone, ordered food and drinks all came in good time and the food was delicious well cooked seasoned and just generally yummy. Staff super friendly nothing to much trouble mentioned it was ny birthday which was the reason we weren't doing pudding as I had a birthday cake at home. The cost of one of our pints of cider was knocked off the bill as a birthday treat. This is fantastic and thankyou so much its much appreciated we will be back always a good meal and friendly staff and a decent pint aswell.

Decided to try somewhere new to take my mum for her birthday dinner on Sunday. Booked in advance and arrived to be squeezed onto a table where once I was in, I couldn’t get out. We then waited 1h10 minutes for our meal to arrive. We were given no pre-warning that there was a long wait, no update on the foods arrival. When the roast dinner did finally turn up I was shocked. I asked politely where the Yorkshire puddings were I was told they’d sold out! I was given two hard potatoes that looked as though they’d been under the heater for a few hours and small pile of limp cabbage… the meat.. well the meat was purely a pile of fat. No meat on it at all. Afraid to say we didn’t not eat it and left. The table next to us had been waiting over an hour and half and looked shook when they saw what we had been served. Thankfully Haddon House Hotel fitted us in and even though it was busy we had our meal in 15 minutes. Really wanted to like this cute country pub but you seriously need to work on your food and service. I also suggest you train your staff how to update their customers on food delivery and all general customer service. Dumping the food in front of you and not explaining if things are missing is not on. Nor is expecting people to wait this long and not deliver what is an actually a fairly expensive roast in this area. Wish I’d taken a photo before we left but was starving and annoyed.

Me and a friend went for the afternoon tea on Monday to round off the Bank Holiday, and have a good catch up. Really delicious - great choice of savoury sandwiches, scotch egg (perfectly crispy on the outside with slightly gooey egg), and a sausage roll, followed by scones, jam, cream, Victoria sandwich, and a brownie that almost pushed me over the edge but was so worth squeezing in! We had Pimms alongside it, and as much tea as we wanted. Lovely, smiley, helpful service from our server and a backdrop of live music from a terrific singer. Will definitely come back!!

We went yesterday for an amazing roast dinner, service was a little slow but they were very busy. We found out about today’s afternoon tea so booked in for it. Great service, plenty of food which we took home for later. Live music, a hidden gem. Will definitely return.

Absolutely disgusting! Not even worth one star! Daughter took me for lunch for my birthday…took 1 hour 5 mins to come…5 tables were waiting that long.i asked where our Yorkshire puds were…just told they’d ran out…it was a tiny amount of cabbage with 2 tiny rock hard potatoes and a pile of meat fat on top…only worthy of a dogs bowl. There wasn’t a tablespoon of meat there…total heap of fat. Almost made me physically sick just looking at it. £18 they charge foe this too! We just got up and told them to forget it and walked out and booked somewhere else we know that’s worth going to from the car. Looking back, I wondered it was even left over scraps from other peoples plates..I’ve never seen such disgusting so called ‘food’ ever! How are these people allowed to serve this rubbish? Don’t go there…we certainly won’t ever again and make sure others know what it’s like too. No apologies for the long wait or offer of any kind to replace the Yorkshire either.

Arrived for lunch. Had a very warm welcome from Alex. We had lunch inside the pub which has loads of character. The food was very reasonably priced and delicious. After lunch the sun was shinning so we went outside which is a real gem. The band in the marque were brilliant, we were enjoying ourselves so much we totally lost track of time and ended up staying until almost closing time. All the staff were so attentive and professional. We have recommended to many friends and all those that have been loved it. Will go back when next in Bridport.

As locals who haven't dined at this pub in years, we decided to book a table for 9 to celebrate my nan's birthday, based on positive reviews we'd seen on Facebook. Unfortunately, our experience fell short of expectations. Upon arrival, we waited a considerable amount of time for our drinks to be taken, and there weren't enough menus for everyone. Although several specials were out of stock, we understood that this time of year can be busy. When the waitress took our order, my nan (who is very elderly) chose ham, egg, and chips. Shortly after, we were informed that the pork apricot was unavailable, so we changed the order to fish. We waited quite a while for our food, and when it arrived, my nan's meal was missing, along with a portion of potatoes and a side salad. Despite waiting, we had to start eating, as my nan's food took so long to arrive that we were nearly finished with our meals by the time it did. The manager assured us her meal would be removed from the bill. However, the salad and potatoes were still missing, and when they finally came, we had already finished eating. The manager promised to remove the potatoes from the bill as well. Throughout the entire meal, we were not asked if we wanted any additional drinks or water, which was disappointing. The burgers, priced at £18, were mediocre and looked like they came from a burger van. The chicken Kiev, though tasty, was just a chicken breast on a salad, with no fries, additional potatoes, or vegetables, which felt so overpriced. After we finished, the gentleman offered my nan a free pudding and provided two brownies for the table to share. Unfortunately, the brownies were dry, and the accompanying ice cream was melted. My nan’s Eton mess was topped with what appeared to be watercress, which turned out to be fruit leaves, but their peppery taste overwhelmed the dessert. The bill totaled nearly £200 for two pizzas, three burgers, fish and chips, chicken breast on salad, and two pizzas shared by two couples. My gin and lemonade cost £9.50, which felt excessive. While we appreciated the gestures of removing my nan's meal and offering the three desserts, the overall experience was very disappointing, and we will not be returning. The evening was such a shame we were so looking forward to finally coming to this pub and for such a special occasion it was such a let down. I would recommend Rise in Westbay to other people thinking of dining here, although the same in price the quality is night and day compared to our experience tonight.

I absolutely love this place, everyone seems so friendly & the garden is absolutely beautiful! I took my partner here for Father’s Day as his son didn’t bother with him today. We sat in the sun, was beautiful. Ordered our meals & mine came out, when the waitress brand mine over she seen we had no cuttlery so got us some & whilst bringing it back asked if I wanted any sauces etc.. bearing in mind it took time each time doing this… Anyway I hate moaning! But I had eaten my whole meal before my partners come out 😭 His meal had walked up and down the garden 4 times before arriving to the table, he asked the waitress if that was his walking around & she replied ‘no it’s a fresh one’ that was an absolute lie! Anyway, it was cold & he went into speak to a lovely lady behind the bar who apologised & gave him a refund & was lovely! So thank you to this lady 🥰 It was just really poor as I paid £18 for my meal which wasn’t that warm but fine as I decided to sit outside! But I ate alone when it was a treat for my partner who didn’t even end up eating. Preying this was just a bad waitress & it won’t happen again as love the place!

Hello. The Pymore Inn is my local and like all the locals we visit here regularly. We love what it has too offer us and we are well looked after. The pub has amazing food and very varied. The big garden with the fire pit is idea, we have just had an works social here also and they did loads of pizzas which was so good. We come to their quiz nights and many of the events they set up. I would recommend this pub alot and the service and staff are amazing

Lovely looking pub with a big garden which lends well to a sunny afternoon. Tried this pub a few times and it seems to be struggling with an identity. Service is rather poor. Prices very high.. but there lies another issue. Food seems to be straddling the line between gastro pub and restaurant and not doing either particularly well. Talking to other locals it's not what they want either. Ordered a ploughmans last weekend which was missing alot of the traditional pieces and the bread.. ciabatta! Should never be served on a ploughmans.

Another lovely evening! Alex and his team are really welcoming and so friendly 😊 it’s our favourite pub to go to in the area. They go out of their way to make your evening special. Food is exceptional quality especially the steaks and their triple cooked chips. You won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic steak, 10oz rib-eye cooked to perfection, nice wine, great cocktails, lovely liquor coffees, will definitely be back, highly recommend.

We visited for steak night. £39.50 for two steaks, sides & wine. Delicious, great value and fantastic, welcoming, friendly service. They also do the most delicious dessert, everything including the ice cream & chutney for their cheeseboard is home made.

We have eaten here many times whilst in holiday in summer time for pizza. Thought we’d try this evening for steak night. Good value bavette steak with salad triple cook chips and choice of wines. Couldn’t fault the food. Hubby had scallops and o had ham hock terrine for staters - again really tasty and cooked well. Wine lovely and service was perfect 👍 Back again tomorrow Beaujolais evening

A very busy Sunday lunch but the staff were efficient and friendly. The food was very good and even the nut roast for us vegetarians was better than most - moist and tasty.

Had a fabulous meal here. We went for the steak night. Great steaks cooked to perfection and fantastic value too. Lovely attentive staff. We look forward to dining with you soon.

Great steak night, sirloin or rib eye, good portions and nice carafe of red wine. Cosy atmosphere with log fire.

What a lovely find ! Hot meal , pan to plate , log fire and great staff!! Thanks for the best meal of our 4 day break ! Will definitely come back !

Stunning beer garden, often with live music and outside bar in the summer that can accommodate lots of people, plenty of sensible parking too. Superb staff and Alex was attentive and knowledgeable about the drinks, actually paying an interest to what you might like in a beer or wine before offering advice, a very welcome change to most pubs. The best thing for me is finding a pub that not only has decent beers on tap but has plentiful choice too! Brilliant. So many pubs now don't care about the beer, well The Pymore does care. Can't wait to eat here soon. Cheers, Alex and team! Matt (with the French bulldog). 👌

First class ! Great pub, exactly the sort of pub that you want to find on holiday. We've been before,a couple of years ago, that was good too. Very friendly and attentive staff,Good selection of beers, a lovely menu, (not too big) we had the Spatchcock chicken, wonderfull, the cheese was good too. We will be back to sample more.

There were 7 of us visiting for Sunday lunch whilst on holiday in the area. Overall this was a really nice and relaxed experience with good food, good beer and in a lovely traditional inn. All of the staff were super friendly and helpful and the local beers delicious. The food was very well prepared and presented. The only thing stopping it being a 5 for us (if you could award 4.5 we would) is the fact that three of our party were vegetarian and the menu was quite limited in choice with just one main course. On our visit it was beetroot wellington which two of the group thought was delicious but, one of the party does not like beetroot. The chef did off a bean and vegetable dish but in the end, she opted for just the Sunday roast vegetables. She did say it was delicious but, it would be better if there was more choice. That said, I totally get that for some places, they are unable to offer an expansive menu so it’s a tricky balance. Anyhow, we did have a lovely time and we would definitely return if we visit the area again in the future.

This pub was a good find to accommodate our party of 13 +2 dogs. Food arrived hot and all at the same time which was good and staff was very attentive. The only improvement needed would be a wider selection food on the menu.

Lovely spot, great garden, plenty of umbrellas and shade but Landlord was a tad rude to a fellow guest when they enquired about food; the prices are quite steep and that incident deterred us from eating there.

Just the most magical evening in the garden with beautiful lighting and a fabulous firepit that blazed all evening. An exceptional seasonal menu with perfect recommendations from the super attentive bar and waitering staff, eye contact and smiles - wow, how rare! Our doggies at our feet, we felt to welcome and spoilt. But don't tell anyone else, we want this place kept a secret!!!

A great location with a lovely pub garden and good parking, the food was a bit on the pricey side but nice so I suppose you get what you pay for! The majority of staff were lovely but there didn’t seem to be enough of them and service was slow especially considering it was mid-afternoon and the pub was at least half empty, the pub was also dealing with shortages of glasses, cutlery and condiments. However we were there for a celebration and they were accommodating to most of our needs and dealt with any problems relatively promptly. Unfortunately I personally didn’t have a good experience as one particular member of staff who might have been the landlord seemed to have a bit of an attitude problem, he was polite at first but when the party went up to pay he told them to go back to their table and wait for them to come to us (not what you want to be told when a large group of you have made the effort to come to the bar and seen other groups paying there!). We were celebrating an occasion and had a bit of wrapping paper left at the end, which I didn’t want to just leave behind at the table and expect them to deal with, but before taking it home I wanted to see if there was the option of disposing of it properly with the pub. I found a bin at the pub entrance which looked like a general bin and suitable to dispose of it but as this turned out to be a glass recycling bin, I politely asked him whether he could please help me dispose of it. He then proceeded to tell me off for wanting to put the paper in the glass bin (I didn’t put it in there!), told me the pub only dealt with food waste (I used to run several pubs, I know that isn’t true!) and then asked if I was from the cottages up the road. When I explained that I was actually a guest (and he had already served me), his demeanour changed slightly and he kindly took the paper but proceeded to tell me I shouldn’t go sticking it in other people’s bins, before he went back to having a fag with friends in the middle of the pub garden. I am a very polite person who identified a bin that looked like it was for guests to use but didn’t use it when it turned out to be unsuitable and if I had known how I would have been spoken to I would have never have even considered asking and just taken it home (which I didn’t mind doing to begin with!). I left shaken up and in tears, I would have complained but seeing as I was there on a special occasion with family and friends I did not want to ruin the event for everyone. I appreciate that pubs are run to a tight budget and waste disposal is expensive, but if throwing away a couple of sheets of wrapping paper wasn’t possible I would have readily just accepted that if told politely.. I only asked if it was possible. I think there are a lot of good things about this pub and I am sure others may have better experiences but this was mine and sadly I won’t be returning.

Great service, the Landlord Alex is a complete star and the food is excellent. Compliments to the chef. Well worth a visit to a hidden gem in the Dorset countryside

Had an amazing time at the pymore inn as we came down for a weekend visit since covid restrictions have been eased. Incredible food! My girlfriend and I both had the steak burgers which we recommend as a very tasty dish! 10/10!Great atmosphere and incredible service from all staff. Our waitress Abi, was very friendly, helpful and attentive. Will be returning soon!

Finally made it to The Pymore Inn for lunch with family and friends. Great and easy menu to enjoy in the sunshine. Staff are super friendly and accommodating. The garden is unlike anything in the area for its size and privacy as it’s nestled in the country side setting just a walk from town centre. Can’t wait to go back!

Booked a table for 2 when the restrictions were lifted and so glad we did! The pub garden is large with plenty of space, wouldn't have felt crowded even if it was fully booked! Very reasonable drink prices and an impressive rum list I have to say! The staff were so friendly and helpful; quick service whenever we needed it. The food was amazing and my friend was so pleased to see so many gluten free options on a menu! Definitely worth booking a table in this lovely pub!

A return visit having heard about new managers and following on from a less than impressive experience in August. I will say straight away that I enjoyed my roast dinner. However it was still overpriced at £17.50. That said, in relative terms and matched against other pubs in Bridport it was worth the difference. The food was very well cooked and very well served except that the meat was covered in gravy when, to suit all preferences it should have been in a gravy boat. The vegetables each had its own distinct flavour unlike some places that boil the life out of them. The wine list is very good and reasonably priced and there is a good selection of beers and real ales. The service was patchy, no sooner had our starters of olives arrived our main course was upon us. We had hoped for a leisurely lunch! I also almost choked on a piece of string which I had to extradite before accidentally swallowing (didn't see it - covered in gravy!) I did not make a fuss but politely told the landlady who seemed oblivious to the potential seriousness.

We came here for dinner before the second lockdown. Absolutely fabulous! Great welcome as always, friendly & efficient staff. Great food, good wine list & excellent beer! Can’t recommend it enough.

Great to finally have a landlord and landlady back at our local. So welcoming and passionate about what they do. The pub reopened last year with a variety of managers none of whom took ownership and welcomed people or remembered what you drank. Holly and Will are going to be a great asset to this pub What a time to take it over but these guys know their stuff. Wishing them all the best at these difficult times.

Really beautiful experience. Amazing, delicious food, wonderful service and a really cosy place to relax on a hideously wet night!

We like everything about the new Pymore from the lovely outside garden to the great service and the very good food. They deal with COVID carefully so no-one should be put off coming. The staff are great. We had a cheeseburger and steak, both of which were good, followed by excellent home made ice cream (cinnamon, rum and raisin, and toffee were all very good). Draft beer was delicious too.

We had an excellent meal with excellent, friendly service, all the more impressive in the current circumstances. Definitely down for a repeat visit next time we are in Dorset

We had a lovely table by the fire for supper, a warm welcome and prompt, cheerful service. The starters were imaginative and beautifully presented, I had cured salmon with a quail's egg, light and appetising as it should be, not a meal in itself. The belly of pork for mains was full of flavour, on a bed of mash and interesting vegetables. Most of their wines can be ordered by the glass, which means a good choice without excess expense. Altogether a very pleasant evening and I would not hesitate to take friends there again.A note on booking - with the rather strict rules on opening hours now, it is necessary [and only polite] to arrive on time for your table. As we were finishing, a couple arrived fifteen minutes late without having told the staff, and were quite offensive when advised that regrettably the kitchen had closed. I'm on the side of the staff, who have a major cleaning/sanitising regime each evening after customers like us have gone home. Well handled, Pymore Inn people.

Having enjoyed food and drinks at the Pymore, our small group of friends chose to visit again, as the weather was good and the garden is a lovely setting.The menu is pretty small and so not a huge choice at the moment, which is fine. However, when ordering, we were told that the beer of choice was not available and the bavette steak was not available, but could be replaced with a rump steak for £3 extra. Once we had placed our order, we were then informed that the ham hock croquettes were no longer available! The meals came, but the country pizza was missing. The waitress said there was a mistake with the order and that the country pizza was no longer available. We asked for a prawn pizza as an alternative - not available. So, the bianca was requested and we were told 'we should have that'. By the time the pizza arrived, the others in the party had finished their meal and the pizza was actually a Margherita... and not a very nice one at that! When the staff saw that I hadn't enjoyed the pizza, they apologises and agreed there had been mistakes made and I was offered a free drink, but as we were about to leave, I couldn't accept it. We were charged full price for the meal.The other 2 in our group enjoyed their meals, albeit they were overpriced, but really the Pymore Inn should do better. If many of the meals on a limited menu are not available, customers should be told on arrival or table bookings shouldn't be taken. The staff were very young and had no clue what was going on. We were even asked to work out how much our £60 bill would be if we split it 3 ways, because the waitress didn't have a calculator!All in all, a very disappointing experience!

Hubby and I had done a beautiful walk to get to the pub and we were really looking forward to a bite to eat we thought we would try a starter to start with well it arrived quickly but shame I couldn’t say it looked or tasted very nice the plaice Goujons where over cooked to the extent of being so dry that I could of played tennis with them and the chicken skewers where nicely cooked apart from having what look liked little hairs in them all that said the beer was excellent when I went and paid I did tell the waitress our food was terrible but I think she already knew that because no one came and asked how it was at any point the gentleman who runs the pub stood there while I was paying then proceeded to come over and ask for our bill to take off the plaice price knowing that I had just stood and paid for our food so there was nothing he could do about it. Would we go back not for food but yes for a beer. With the beautiful setting and such a little treasure of a pub it’s such a shame x x

My friend urged me to visit with her today and recommended the crab linguine. Lovely setting and friendly helpful waitresses. We ordered drinks, no lime for soda and lime. Crab linguine very disappointing, dry and lacking in crab. Left most of it. When waitress enquired if ok I replied I had trouble finding any crab. She apologised and said she would let the kitchen know. We ordered coffees, none available, evidently machine not working! When presented with bill I commented I was surprised I was still being charged £17.00 for crab dish and was told yes, kitchen told but now run out. Will not be returning in a hurry!

Fabulous food, gorgeous surroundings!We were on a biking holiday near Bridport and booked a table for dinner one evening (just a google search!)What a gem we stumbled across! A great setting in beautiful gardens and the food was exceptional.Being vegetarian the choices were limited but the hostess suggested asking the chef to create something- I agreed and when it arrived it was gorgeous! Try the garlic bread- amazing! And the cheesecake is just wonderful.Front of staff need a bit of structure but allIn all, it was so good, we went back again (twice!)

A second visit in the past 3 weeks so must be o.k. We'd reserved a table and were able to sit outside in the lovely garden. We all went for pizzas which were excellent. Kirra was our lovely waitress. Very pleasant, smily and efficient.

After our first visit, my wife and I returned twice more to the Pymore Inn. It is an easy walk from the nearby Bridport Bingham Grange Caravan & Motorhome site. We were recognised by the staff on arrival and made to feel very welcome. There was a clear registration and sanitisation process before we could go to our table in the garden, which made us feel very secure.The service this time was spot on, and there was a better selection of beers in addition to the wine list.We both tried the Pymore Burger. Although expensive for a burger, it was all locally sourced and the addition of smoked cheese was great. This time there were 'proper' chips and they were wonderfully crisp outside and fluffy within.I also tried the Bavette Steak on one visit. It was substituted for a Rump Steak but was very nicely cooked and supplied with a side salad, chips and Bearnaise sauce.Now 'Eat out to Help Out' has ended, would I return. Yes, I think so.

We camped in our camper van just a mile north of the pub so it was a nice walk over farmland, and back, to this welcoming pub - outdoors only but still lovely. Spacious garden, welcoming staff, and a delicious takeaway pizza.

Just been for an evening meal with the family. The garden is beautiful, lovely service and tasty food. We would definitely recommend and hope to go back on our next trip.

Pimms and a ceasar salad in the most gorgeous garden, relaxing music and a sun rrap- it was like being in a lux spa!

A lot of money has been spent revamping this place and the garden area is extremely pleasant. That said the food is extremely ordinary and eye wateringly priced for what it is. There are other eye watering sights but I won't use the spoiler! Unlike previous comment I found that £4 pint for fresh real ale was not overly expensive for Bridport. Yes 5 stars for the site, service and beer, one star for the food and it's value.

stumbled across this by accident and wish we had of kept driving, £5 a pint..the wife had ceaser salad that came covered in raw hearing after which it all tasted of raw fish. i had squid and i think it was fresh from Iceland the shop.... kids working there didnt really have a clue.

Great food, excellent service in a lovely walled garden. Hoping to return in 2 days if weather allows.

Lovely garden on summers evening. Staff coped well with a busy atmosphere and were super friendly. Best pizza found locally. We will be back.

I was part of a group of six who booked to eat at the Pymore. Every person in the group was more than satisfied with their meals and I felt that the combination of a motivated young team of servers, nicely spaced tables, atmosphere aided by unobtrusive music, and a perfect summer evening made for a great night out. I live within two miles of here and I will certainly recommend this to friends and visitors. Happy & Satisfied! PS ‘Very Good’ is rare from me.

What an amazing place! We visited as a family of 5 on Friday and the staff were very welcoming and couldn’t do enough for us. The setting is beautiful - a large garden surrounded by lights and a purpose built wooden kitchen/bar. The food (steak, linguine, children’s burgers and fish goujons) was all excellent and the ambience was perfect. I only wish we could pick it up and move it to where we live as not only would we visit regularly, it would be the perfect venue for my 40th!

The setting here is fabulous. The pub is old and lovely and the large garden is surrounded by rolling hillsThere are lots of staff to take your orders and they are all very cheerfulThey play some great music over the sound system from the 1960s and 1970sSo going here for a drink in the early evening (beer-O-clock) is a joy and we have done this several timesOnly disappointment is the food. We ate here on Tuesday lunchtime and we both ordered steaks. The steaks were undercooked and not very good quality (they were tough and hard to cut)Enough said. We will definitely we going back for a beer / wine but not to dineTo tempted to eat here again The Pymore would really have to step up !

we went here as its a quick walk away. It was our 1st time since its refurb.Unfortunately its all show service was average food looked good but was like warm. As for the beer they didn't even know what was on.Maybe it was a bad night. Also too many people wandering around joining other tables, hardly social distancing.

Today we went to the Pymore Inn after being recommended by the gentleman's air b and b we are staying in. We were politely told the food would be running later and had to be told the garden kitchen wouldn't be serving food for another 45 minutes which was fine with us. Unfortunately it was rather chilly, and we were all seated outdoors so jackets had to come with us too! The service was lovely from start to finish and staff were attentive when need by. The food was delicious off the garden menu, I myself had the steak and my partner had the crab linguine. The steak was so juicy and delicious and the portions of food was fantastic! Even better news was that the restaurant participated in the governments eat out help out scheme. But we would have quite happily paid regardless as we intended to go here even before we knew. Highly recommend if you are visiting!

We visited here during corona isolation this meant that there was no indoor seating. We hadn't been told this when we booked. The place has been recommended to us. Not long after we arrived the sun went in and the rain camep down hard. We had already ordered, so we ate our meal as quickly as possible under golfing umbrellas. We were cold and wet. We ordered pizzas which the children loved, burger and a nice tomato and mozzarella cheese salad. The staff here are very friendly and couldn't be more helpful.

Whilst camping near by we stopped on route into Bridport. We had only planned to stop for a drink and a rest, but the service was so welcoming and the menu so tempting that we stayed for lunch. The Caesar salad was delicious and our 7 year old enjoyed the squid so much she ordered a second portion. We stopped again on the way home and the change over in staff were just as welcoming and professional as at lunch. We will definitely return when next in the area

Beautiful large tended beer garden. Service charming and efficient. Food cooked perfectly (lobster and pizzas). Beer chilled. Cannot recommend highly enough. Found the pub by chance on the web. We will return!

Although open under new ownership for about a year, due to lockdown we've not had a chance to visit. The easing of lockdown allowed us to give it a go.Currently, all meals are served outside but the seating area is really large with a correspondingly large car park. The place was virtually full when we arrived at 7pm with a mix of drinkers and diners. It seems to attract a youngish crowd.The menu is fairly typical 'casual dining' with an emphasis on pizzas and burgers. We had a well cooked and presented bavette & fries and a salmon Caesar salad - also well presented. Staff are friendly and helpful and, for such a busy place, our meals arrived without to long a wait.Given restrictions in place, it's probably too early to judge the menu - I guess they'll serve what's popular. However, the outside kitchen is relatively small, so I don't see that changing much.Overall a good place for a casual evening out in very pleasant surroundings

We went to the Pymore Inn yesterday as we were staying nearby. We had the most fantastic lunch sitting in their beautiful garden. Service was exceptional, staff being friendly and “ on the ball” . We opted for the Sunday roast. It was amazing, Devon Ruby Red beef, cooked fairly rare(as we like it). with Yorkshire puddings and roast potatoes plus a very good selection of vegetables. All superbly cooked and presented. The whole experience at the Pymore Inn was one to be repeated and very soon.

Our second visit to the new Pymore Inn and the experience was a lovely as our first visit. Last time we had a cosy winter Sunday lunch but this time we enjoyed a fantastic meal in the new beer garden (fairy lights, fire pit & an outside bar). The staff were extremely efficient, friendly and welcoming and our party of ten all had wonderful food and drinks. Social distancing was well managed and everything felt very safe. Can't wait to go back again.

Had lovely drinks with a group of friends. Great drinks, great vibe. Served by a woman with white blonde hair who was so sweet and attentive. See you guys soon!

We arrived and our table we had reserved wasn’t actually reserved. There was a smashed glass under the table, later on through the evening we were accused of smashing the glass which was funny as we had told them about the smashed glass about 2 hours prior. Then the manager (Sarah) I think accused people of wrong doing but couldn’t specifically say what they had done so our first evening out after lockdown was absolutely terrible and I would advise people to steer clear of this place!

Fantastic Lunch. Slightly confusing COVID booking but the new outside facility with happy staff serving with a smile . Lots of room between tables,food was very good.looking forward to returning.

Lovely local lobster special in a glorious rural pub garden, with great beer and friendly service. Go there whenever the sun shines.

We visited this pub 4 time’s at lunch time .. due to corona virus we sat outside in the beautiful large garden there’s a huge bar and kitchen outside newly built. The food although limited due to the virus was lovely chicken satay/ & pizzas . The special was lobster but as it was lunch time we chose not to have it.! The prices are very reasonable food and drinks.. we both recommend this pub for a great meal & drink . The staff very friendly and follow all government safety guidelines.. View also lovely looking in to open fields .. fully recommend..

Visited for Sunday lunch, excellent beef and the hoisin duck croquettes were amazing. Friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere, so nice to see this pub back and busy. Food is recommended.

Really lovely, friendly pub. Staff couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. The service was quick and the Sunday roast was fabulous quality and amazing value at £10. Fred made us feel very welcome and went out of his way to fit us in on a busy Sunday. Can't wait to come back in summer and try the beer garden.

We had our engagement meal here and it was perfect! The staff were attentive and we had an incredible waiter and waitress who checked in regularly clearing glasses, bringing drinks and water, taking our orders and just generally being wonderful. The drinks selection was great with lots of local ales and beers on tap & all the glasses, crockery and cutlery were super clean. The pub itself is beautiful, we love the way its decorated with local coastal themed art and the toilets clean. The pub was warm and cosy. Everyone in the pub was friendly and happy, lots of smiling faces from both staff and punters. We loved that there was free Wifi as there is no signal in Pymore! The food was amazing, I had three courses and each was faultless and incredibly tasty! Two family members are gluten intolerant and more than half the menu was suitable for them so they were happy. Everyone was happy with their food and some of them can be fussy. We didn't bring our dogs on this occasion but we love the fact that they are welcome! The garden looks great for summer! We love the string lights outside and the fire pit will be amazing for summer evenings! We will 100% be back, as soon as possible!

Just got back from Sunday Lunch at this lovely pub, Food was amazing and very attentive service and a lovely warm and cosy atmosphere.

Lovely pub with with what looks likes a lovely beer garden which we will definitely be visiting in the summer. Came here for dinner and we were greeted with a warm welcome. And very pleased dogs were welcome. The food was lovely, however limited vegetarian options. And the service a bit slow however would definitely visit again.

We called in midweek for lunch. Nicely appointed pub, friendly welcome. Pizza was good but chips were dreadfully greasy. I couldn’t work out what had gone wrong. We were the only people eating there and couldn’t help but overhear the barmaid loudly describing a medical operation in detail. I was completely put off eating but had to sit with a plate of greasy chips in front of me as no one cleared the table. My husband had to carry our plates back to the bar. Disappointing.

We used to visit this pub many years ago and as it has now been taken over by a person who seems to be buying Bridport we thought why not give it a try. A lunchtime visit. Perfectly good welcome although pub was cold, the fire was eventually lit. Good selection of drinks but no large fruit juice (J2O) available. We were also surprised there were no sandwiches or snacks available at lunchtime or at least we were not offered any. This is poor.We ended up having a full plate meal. Risotto good but fish and chips poor: very greasy chips overcooked and prepared much earlier, fish frozen I think with unremarkable batter, very disappointing. Not as good as we expected I am afraid especially after the hoopla and publicity, there is much better food available in nearby pubs.

They catered to my party of 19 people from the Christmas menu (as was in December). The food was delicious with perfect quantities and reasonably priced in a lovely countryside setting, ideal for summer events.

We visited as a group of 4 for dinner Saturday evening. Starters were OK but it all started falling apart with the main course. 2 of the party ordered the baked fish, which were very dry with a dollop of orange paste on (no idea what it was supposed to be, it was tasteless). I ordered duck breast supreme, which was overcooked and tough. The potatoes were pan fried new potatoes, very overcooked and almost burnt. We had ordered 2 sides of chips, which we had to ask for twice, by the time they arrived 2 of the party had finished their meals. OK it was Saturday evening and so it was a little busy, but its not a huge restaurant. Tip to the chef - don't bother applying for masterchef.

Great warm welcome with the fire lit which felt instantly welcoming , I always feel this is so important. Some candles lit, again it makes the atmosphere cosy. Had a delicious meal, delivered by the excellent Team.

We live in the village and have visited The Pymore Inn many times over the summer. We have also eaten here recently of an evening in their restaurant and had no complaints.

We were staying very locally and having checked out the impressive menu, went along to the Pymore Inn for our evening meal. The food was nice, starter and cheese board were of generous proportions. However we did feel that the menu description had a little poetic licence as it gave an impression of being a high end bistro affair. In fact it was staple pub offerings. The bar staff were welcoming and the cook took an interest that we had enjoyed our meal.

Took my family out for a sunday roast.

Walked to the pub on a wet October night. A glowing log fire. Good pints of Bath Ale. A nice change from Palmer's.

Booked a meal here on a very chilly, wet night, mid week. Not been before but heard it was under fairly new ownership, so wanted to try it out. OMG what a treat!! Not dagger cheap but we'll worth a tiny bit extra. The food is unusual without being outlandish or pretentious and beautifully cooked. We started with salmon and a terrine and then had steak and lamb cutlets, both very tasty alongside a nice variety of fresh veg. Not too much either. My first choice of starter wasn't available so the chef came and appologised personally and suggested other options he could make for me!! Really nice friendly service from two young men and a final chat with the chef before we left. Yes, they had plenty of time to chat as it was a quiet night, but they didn't have to. A cosy atmosphere. Definitely going back, thanks to all the staff.

Always cautious reading reviews but decided to try having seen a review from someone i know and trust.

the young staff were excellent, courteous , helpful and loved our dog, looking after her with treats as well as us.And the chef came to talk to us afterwards asking if all was good.

We had a wonderful time with our friends at this fantastic revamped pub.

So happy to have our local pub open again. Haven’t used it for 3 years used to be thriving Lots going on music food and a real asset the fire pit.

Loverly food. starter.. seafood creveiche got a kick but fresh on the palette. Main... Fish curry very tasty. Wife had Pork schnitzel with lemon.tyhme. Nice size portion. Chesse board to finish. Nice selection of beers and wines. Young staff very helpful great service

We called in with friends to see the brilliant band Jess Upton and the guilty pleasures, which started early at 7.15...Really good idea as it brought families etc into the pub. Drinks service insuide was to say the least somewhat erratic and this is due to poor training. Customers should be served in order of them copming to the bar, not ordering the ones you know first! Eye contact with custoners is really important so that they know that that you know they are waiting. Our friends ordered food, very simple burger and chips but I am afaaid its was luke warm when it arrived. This pub has had some great investment but the asthetics are not everything staff training and service has to be worked as well. (I know I am a bit biased as an ex publican....to fish my comments on a high point ...the fire pit was brilliant!

Not sure about the plastic glasses but you can insist on proper glass. However the food and drink and atmosphere was really good . Young staff making some errors but love what is happening to this once sleepy pub

Called in for supper on a wet and windy night. Very busy but only waited 15 minutes for a table. First impression - young staff very unsure of their role - but one young lad really got a grip and helped out some French visitors. A limited menu under this relatively new ownership but food very good and we would come again.

So the reason behind having plastic glasses is for health and safety reasons according to the person I spoke to on the telephone. They don't want children or dogs being lacerated by glass out in the garden! I wonder if the price board says wine by the plastic? Obviously attracting young families rather than the mature person who wants a decent wine in a decent glass. Shame as the enormous walled garden has quality tables and chairs. Live music or d.j. at 7.00 on occasions. Food looked good with moules mariniere on the menu when we visited. Give us the option of glass and we will return. I decided on a soda water rather than wine which was served in a hot plastic 'glass'

Loved the refer and the walled garden, had 12 of the family down for weekend and thought we would give it a go, but cider selection was not good. Why is a Dorset pub only offering thatchers. Come on guys we are in the heart of the cider making world, lets give our visitors are real taste of what the west country can offer.

Met friends for lunch . Pleased the inn had re opened , very limited menu which is a good thing BUT no prices on menu board, young staff who were very friendly but totally incompetent. Not their fault but need training, Not expecting silver service but why clear our table before we had all finished?

After visiting a couple of years ago and vowing never to return, we were told that the pub is under new ownership and now welcomes dogs. So, armed with Buster the shorkie, we decided to put it to the test on Tuesday lunchtime. A lovely, friendly welcome. Dog bowl available. Staff were excellent and eager to help. Yes, the lunch menu isn't huge, but there's certainly enough to choose from. I had a giant portion of moules frites, cooked as well as you'd get in France and my wife had a lovely pizza, obviously homemade from scratch, which she said was delicious. Besides, a small, expertly cooked menu is better than a big menu of microwaved mass catering.

My husband and I called in for lunch when we noticed it had reopened following renovations. It was an absolute delight, the menu, was minimal, but perfectly adequate, the seating in the walled garden was well spaced, allowing for children to play unhindered, the staff were lovely and the pub itself was just a delight. Can't wait to return when the outside bar/food area will be up and running.

Brilliant night out. Need more toilets for events like tonight. Been here twice since new ownership and have enjoyed it both times, kids love it, WiFi in the garden!!! Will def be back.

We were on a holiday visit out with the family and found this pub out on the back roads, the staff were rude and didn’t want us to bring our dogs into the outside seating area even though we were the only family sat out. The overall service was poor and would certainly not recommend going to this pub if you’re looking for a friendly day out.

Great to see this pub back on its feet again after a sympathetic makeover - coat of fresh paint, clutter removed, lovely new loos etc.

Visited here twice in the last month. Once with the kids and the other on a date night. Very family friendly but also a nice place for a romantic night. Had a delicious homemade burger and chips followed by yummy cheesecake last night. Service was quick and staff very polite and friendly. Good idea using plastic glasses as no breakages in the lovely garden. Fire pit a great touch and spotless toilets. Menu limited at present but they have just opened the kitchen. I’m sure it will get bigger and better over time!! A few suggestions would be condiments and cutlery in boxes on the tables would be a good idea . Also, need bar snacks like crisps to nibble on while waiting for food etc! Well done new owners, ignore the negative comments. You’re doing a fabulous job!

Called in for lunch, small but perfect menu for a lunchtime, (believe one chef on holiday) the food was perfectly executed and wonderful, gooey brie and tomato panini with a very healthy portion of fries. We sat in the lovely garden with nice furniture. The outside bar/food structure looks great, can't wait for it to be in service. Fantastic asset to this part of Dorset....move over Palmer's!! Wishing you all the best.

Visited a few times now and love the selection of beers and spritits. Also the best chips I have ever tasted!!!! Staff are friendly and it's a lovely atmosphere the beer garden offers so much and is a great place to sit back and enjoy the late summer evenings with a late night fire pit !!!!

Visited here on a hot, sunny evening. Fabulous garden with high quality furniture, tasty, well cooked food and extremely pleasant young staff. A definite asset to the Bridport area and hopefully will be a success.
