Unfortunately, although the food looked good, many of the dishes were lacking in flavour and quite bland. Such a shame as the pub itself is very quaint and is in a lovely location.

Yorkshire puddings like cardboard, roast beef stringy and raw in places, broccoli not Al dente, nice parsnips, carrots and roast potatoes, arrived for 12.30 didn't get our carvery ticket till gone 1pm, then told at 2.30 that the people have arrived for our table, so basically asked to leave, all this for £17.95, sorry will not be returning, btw we did mention the raw beef and just got "oh sorry" for a reply

Anniversary meal my partner booked first impressions pleasant oldy pub sort I like starters spring rolls lovely and tasty. I ordered Duck looked good I starter to tuck in everything was cold or Luke warm potatoes veg and duck my partners food piping hot but he called waiter who took my meal back to kitchen approx 5 mins later returned with food gravy was hot but unfortunately hardly any food on my plate was, waiter asked if it was OK we said no but at this stage I just replied I'll eat it as is else I'd be only one eating. The folk on table behind us ushered waiter over their food also cold so they had to wait for it to be reheated. Kind of spoiled the evening. I then used the ladies before leaving wish I hadn't not clean looked dirty wallpaper hanging off toilet rolls on cistern the seats didn't fit on the toilets I sat down with caution the most cleanest areas Kitchens and toilets to be absolutely spotless and presentable let down for a country pub in a apparently up market area Springhead you've done yourselves a disservice. UPDATE. the landlady has been intouch and I class myself as far minded person so we will return for complimentary food and hope the facilities are improved. Will report back after visit. C.

Starter was very nice. My partner ordered Duck. Everything on the plate was cold. Reheated apparently. Hot grave on top of the Duck. Came back still cold. I ordered Pork belly. Very tasty and hot. By the time my partners meal was so called reheated I had eaten my meal. Not a good anniversary meal. Would have been nice to have eaten our food together. Customers behind us also complain about there duck being cold. So the moral of the story is that if you eat here don't order Duck.

Staying in the area this week, looked for somewhere to eat this evening and thought we’d give this a try. Nice ambience, fire on the go and they’ve made some effort for Halloween which the kids appreciate. The food was disappointing though and the service was slow. It was around 90 mins for the mains to come out including a kids meal. I think the server missed the fact i’d finished my starter and had not put through the mains to the kitchen. When we gave a reminder it was still a decent wait until the mains arrived. The spring roll starter was cremated inside and the curry although tasty and aromatic was let down by the tough beef and crunchy rice. We had not eaten much today so we ate the food anyway as given the time we weren’t going elsewhere. It is half term and perhaps they were busier than a usual mid-week and struggled a little. Disappointing evening.

One of the BEST pub restaurants in Weymouth Bay that I went to with my husband and baby. Very cosy and stylish, the log burner was on and it really created a warm cosy atmosphere with soft lighting and got busy very quickly so would definitely recommend booking ahead. Food was absolutely delicious and chef's and staff were very considerate. Lovely pub would highly recommend and in a beautiful location part of town by a pretty river. Also loved the cocktails!

Looking at the reviews they must have been for the weekend when they had a full staff working. We went on a Tuesday (4 people, mums birthday) and got the loud annoying barmaid and the junior chef that could not cook a hamburger and burnt a quiche..!! Good menu choice but is above the pay grade of the cook in the kitchen. This is the second time we have eaten there earlier in the week, the last time was a Wednesday and the same problems. But what was really annoying was the wait times.. Only one other table of two (!) when we got there and we had to wait 30 mins for the starters after ordering and nearly 40 mins for the main courses after our starters were cleared. The annoying waitress/bar person could not be bothered to stop talking to her two mates at the bar to answer the telephone (and when she finally did, the whole pub could here the conversation she was having on the phone..!) or to answer the ring from the kitchen to say the food was ready. The other table having the same problems. Will not be going back now...

Table booked for 6pm. Table not ready so got a drink from the bar and were then shown to our table. Sat by the carvery and waited. Eventually asked a waiter if it was just carvery, was given a menu and told it was. OK fine. Went to order only to be told we need a ticket. The waiter didn't tell us that when he gave us the menu though. Waited and waited nobody came to give us a ticket, Eventually spoke to another waiter who said they were waiting for the queue to go down before they gave out any more tickets. A couple arrived at the next table and then had their order taken by a lady. I asked her when we would get a ticket and she advised 2 minutes. At least 10 minutes later she bought us a ticket. Even the man at the carvery mentioned us coming up nearly an hour earlier. The food was very good but the service was dismal. Have been there a few times and the food has always been good. It is such a shame. Won't go back and wouldn't recommend

Booked an early evening carvery with friends. We had to ask for our tickets for the carvery as after half an hour we hadn’t been given them. The food was nice, one of the better local roasts, apart from they had no stuffing and said a new batch would be at least 30 minutes. That was slightly disappointing but on the whole the food was good. We split the bill 3 ways and the first couple paid for theirs, we waited for some time for staff to come and take payment for the remaining balance. We had to go up and ask them to come and settle the bill, but when they came over they tried to charge us for the full bill, not taking off the initial payment. We would likely return, but feel like the service could be improved. Wasn’t impressed with the fact they tried to double charge us for a portion of the bill though.

Went to the springhead at the end of a lovely week in weymouth. the pub is beautiful and the location is also amazing however the food does take some time although most of the food was very good the kids meals are ridiculous. Mainly the Hotdog which i can only describe as a tin frankfurter with a tesco bun l. no onions no fries just a hot dog and a bun absolutely crazy and at a cost of £7.50 is ridiculous. the fact the waiter was shocked and said he had not served one before and the fact he was clearly embarassed. The chef who obviously is good at his job surprises me the most as he is willing to serve a halloween hotdog that you can get in costco twice the size for £1.50. Put A bit of a downer on my visit as we was having a great day and didnt want to cause a fuss. my 8 year olds son when he was served this hotdog was. "Ah im having a bad day" due to his dissappointment. Owners should consider removing this from the menu as is just pure embarassing for all involved.

Weekday lunch with friends so pub had few patrons for atmosphere. Located in a posh village the Springhead is in keeping with it's location. 4 lunches, 4 deserts and very clean plates so the food was well received.

Ordered the steak medium rare, and it was overdone. The re-fire came back blue and cold. After informing the supervisor, we settled on the pie of the day. Unfortunately, the mash was extremely salty, to the point that every person in our party tasted it and could not stomach it. We could not help but think it was sabotaged. The host did not charge for the dish and did take 10% off, which was kind. The starters (chicken wings, soup, and goat cheese tart) were tasty. The pubs interior, the atmosphere, and the staff were lovely. It's just a shame the main courses let them down.

My friend and I witnessed the incident reported by Jo Hirley on 14th July. We saw her taking a photo of a disabled gentlemen who immediately became upset and accused her of taking a photo of him. She responded with just as bad language and the language gradually got worse and louder. She accused the man of being local and known to the pub which was obviously untrue as we followed him down the road and asked us directions as he was lost and upset by he encounter. This confrontation had absolutely nothing to do with the pub!

London prices for beer - £6.20 for Moretti! Food is gastropub prices for food that wouldn't pass at Wetherspoons. Ordering at the counter for the price being paid is stupid. £19.50 for a burger that looks like it's made of horse meat, with gristle to match. Menu has vegetarian options that aren't marked as such, like a cheese and chutney baguette. The only positives were that the fries were good and the beer and cider was good - albeit they were not worth the price.

A truly awful pub. Gastro prices paid up front with awful food and diabolical service at every level. A midday meal that may nearly finished by 230pm. First off they had a limited amount of beer cos of a “local do” yesterday - cool - what about forecasting and planning ? We drank cider. If you book online they want £10 per head in case you don’t turn up. I honoured that as I like pubs and I don’t want to see more go under. They’re not just after my money right ? Staff were tetchy and rude, univiting. We had to order at the bar in a pub that sold itself as a gastro pub. £100 lighter, the burger buns looked like they’d come out of tescos cheapest range and the meat looked and tasted dire - It was beef ? right? The fish finger sandwich was missing - got rushed out after 55 mins and some prompting… and then we found the fish was undercooked. The fish and chips had a human hair or so in the batter. The gents toilets were like a local night club, with the floor sopping wet -not good for health and safety. Slips trips falls ?? So dog walk ? Take a pack lunch and save yourself from rip off Britain. A thoroughly awful experience. To the owner ? either sell the pub to someone that knows what they are doing, to do or turn it into cheap housing. I’d also fire the bar staff and chef. Google needs to sort out the way it reviews pubs. 57 mins wait then food then more hell. But the pictures look so nice .. Tempted? DON’T !

Excellent pub, came across on a longish walk. Wonderful welcome from the 2 Team Members who restore faith in high standards of hospitality. Menu had a few vegan options- hooray. My vgn chicken burger was one of the best I've ever had and huge, wife's vegan curry not quite the same marked and lacked sauce but still grateful to see some options. Vegan friendly keg range too, all ok apart from Pravha which isnt vegan. Anyway, lovely tucked away, impossibly nice classic English hamlet location, opposite a stream. Didnt want to leave! Revisit October 23, not quite so great as previous visits and less vgn options but still very nice smarter premium country pub Revisit Aug 24 and this place is getting embarrassing. It's 2024 only vgn thing on menu us a burger. That's it. Asked re pasta that had egg. Balsamic salad was the only other choice and if you like beans, tons of onions then fill your boots. This place was great, it is not great now. Special shout to younger server today who tried her best, excellent service checking what was / was not vgn. The other server frankly scared us.. Not again xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Well, what can I say about this place. The staff were nice and courteous, ( except the guy carving the meat ) but the food was not very good. We had the carvery, beef was good and the gammon but the turkey we had was very fatty and the pork was just bits. The potatoes were not roast. We thought they forgot to put them in the oven!! Usually, you get given your meat, and then you help yourself to the rest, but not here, they put the other bits on for you. And the lighting was very poor. Not worth the price you pay for it. Would not recommend and definitely will not be returning.

abusive customers and unforgiving management. it’s such a shame that a pub like the springhead allows itself to be let down by the clientele and management, and how the latter handles issues relating to said clients. there’s been google reviews in the past few months about terrible clientele and i don’t imagine mine will be the last. we came here for an afternoon sunday roast. the food was lovely, and the walk we made before hand was scenic and full of life. upon leaving, i was with my mother who was taking a photo of the outside seating area. an older man stood up, one we’d seen be greeted by name inside by the carvery area. obviously a regular. he began to walk towards my mother, raising both crutches at her whilst threatening her not to take pictures of him. his language was abusive, we could handle this, but the spoilt experience was the reaction of the manager to this abuse towards us. she had told us that she didn’t care about the abusive language, and seemingly blind to the fact that he’d threatened to hit my mother with his crutches, and instead told us that leaving a bad review would damage the reputation of her pub. she had claimed to not know the man, although he’d addressed her by her name when she came outside, and he’d been addressed by his by another member of staff inside. we are paying customers. you do not expect to come somewhere with management that belittles you rather than proactively disputing a situation with a customer they are familiar with. by letting these regular customers speak to tourists like this, you allow yourself to have reviews like mine posted. it’s ridiculous to think that you are not responsible for YOUR regulars. this reflects on how you hold yourself as a business. a terrible shame overall, management needs to have training courses on customer service to ensure this doesn’t happen again.

Not really a fan of carveries tbh. However, after reading the reviews decided to give the springhead a try. Set in a lovely location the springhead is very aesthetically pleasing building. Service was fast and proficient. The merlot we selected was one of the best we've ever had. It's easy with carveries to overindulge and be wasteful resulting in not actually enjoying the quality of the food. Nice to see honey glazed parsnips available. Not something I've regularly seen available before. Nice selection of food, well cooked and served hot. The dessert (treacle tart) was a tad dissapointing. It tasted more lemony than treacle!? The custard that came with it was really nice. Really sweet. Loved it.

We visited today for the carvery and were pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food. All out our roasts and sides were delicious and the puddings were equally good. Service seemed to take a long time, with lots of staff who appeared to be operating with no real direction. The toilets were pretty grim, which was off putting. A beautiful setting though for a Sunday evening.

Awful service ! We waited for 45 minutes then my husband went to the bar to ask how much longer we would have to wait, he was told we were next to be served , waited another 15 minutes and decided to go and cancel the meal just as we were about to do that the food arrived . We said to the manager/owner who delivered the food that we weren’t happy we had waited an hour she was apologetic and stated she would enquire as to why we had to wait that long . We ate our meal but we still never heard back from the manager so I decided to see her myself, as she couldn’t be bothered to come and explain as to why this had happened her excuse was that she had been told anything about it !!! So I had to go and find out who my husband had spoken to as she didn’t seem To believe what I was saying , After I became very cross because she didn’t seem bothered in the slightest that the service was so bad she decided to offer a free dessert which we didn’t take her up on as we couldn’t be bothered to wait another hour!!!!. The meal was Luke warm which I could have complained about as well but seeing as we had waited an hour for it didn’t bother . Instead I will put it down to experience never go again and not recommend it to anyone AWFUL .

We were having a very small ceremony at Corfe Castle and wanted to enjoy a meal with our guests near our home afterwards. The Springhead was the perfect venue for us. From the support and reassurance with planning, to our menu options, the setting out of our decorations and the service on the night, everything ran really smoothly. We didn't have to worry about a thing. We had part of the restaurant to ourselves and even our own playlist! The food and drinks were spot on and it really couldn't have gone better.

Unfortunately the day we went they had had issues and it was blatantly obvious. Upon being seated at 6:30 we were informed that 2 of the dishes had already run out. The service was slow and not knowledgeable about drinks/ cocktails available. They also forgot how the fish of the day was being served. The starters took an hour to arrive and the main took another 30mins after we finished the starter. The starter was not hot, both the steak and the fish were over cooked. The manager did come and apologize, gave us a discount and free desserts, but I don't think we will be rushing back anytime soon. We had seen and heard great things about this place but unfortunately it did not deliver.

Food came nearly an hour late and the burger was also burnt. It didn’t make sense as it was around 2.30 in the afternoon so not during rush hour.

Food took 1hr to reach our tables, and orders for drinks had to be repeated. Food was overcooked after waiting for more than one hour.

Lovely pub, great food, and I mean great, the only thing that let it down was the waiter forgot one of the orders, so my mate had to wait a while for his food while three of us had ours, apart from that brilliant, friendly staff and excellent food

Chef serving the carvery Sunday evening was very rude and carless , gave a shockingly small fatty cut of meat and was sweating all over the food not what it used to be disappointing.

Myself and some friends have been renting a cottage just a short walk from the Springhead, a couple of times a year for the last 7 or 8 years, and we make a point of going out for a good Sunday roast. We've tried most of the well known pubs in the vicinity over the years, some of which have been a little hit and miss, but out of all of them The Springhead has been the most consistently excellent.

You have to book in advance so get on the phone, you won't regret it! The food was excellent and the portions were good. We'll worth a visit.

We just had a really lovely lunch at the Springhead. We chose a few different items from the starter and light menu to create our own sharing table, each one was delicious! There are many gluten free items available in the menu, and most other items can be accommodated easily. They were kind enough to split a baked Camembert between me and my partner so that he could have real bread without having to request it. The staff were chatty and friendly, and made a big fuss of our dog and brought him treats, which he loved! Thank you for a great experience, we will be back soon to take advantage of the bottomless Prosecco offer!

Enjoyed a early dinner with my mum, food was great as always, service was ok it would of been nice to have seen the wine menu before expected to choose a bottle, but all got sorted and we enjoyed our meal. Still highly recommend especially the Sunday carvery.

Great alternative to turkey was the Christmas burger which was excellent. The smiles with the service made for a great atmosphere and for that we thank the staff. Beer good too, we will return.

Visited for a midweek meal with my mum on 10th April. The exterior and interior is lovely - well decorated with nice furnishings. Very friendly service, and all food ordered was delicious. Mum spoke very highly of the gammon & mustard pie of the day, and my Springhead smoke house burger was perfectly seasoned. The salted caramel cheesecake was a delicious addition for dessert. We left Springhead very impressed and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it!

Cakes are all fresh and lovely, Dorset Apple Cake was delicious and a generous portion given. Coffee was good. 2 points to bear in mind….. 1. Don’t forget when ordering your drinks that sugar is not given. I had to go back to the counter and queue for a few minutes only to ask for sugar, they only offered one satchet but I asked for four…….Times must be hard…..lol 2. No cash is allowed, card only. Apart from that it is a nice atmosphere and lovely views outside.

Many, many issues with this place. I used to work here as a waitress so I can give a few BTS reviews. Ordering food at the bar is alright, probably the best part of the whole experience. 75% of the time it is forgotten where your order goes to and waitresses have to either shout out the order or go to every table and ask if this was theirs. There are no table numbers on the tables so it was a complete guess. (they even had spoons with numbers on that they never used behind the counter ffs) The stove is very very old and used to explode every few weeks. The place looks so decrepit outside now because they are leaving the place to decay. It's not really a restaurant anymore and is just a place to put your car. It opens at random. Looks like a dumping ground out back. They set a fire and suspiciously burn stuff at 23:00 sometimes. Things will probably get better in a few years/decades time when they tear it down and start over.

Lovely setting but that was about it for the positives. The service was patchy and with so few things on the menu, you would have thought that the serving staff would be able to answer simple questions instead of saying. 'I don't know I haven't tried that'! The food was very poor, three of us ate there and not one of us had a satisfying meal. Soggy batter on the fish and chips, overcooked shrimps served only with a small portion of ridiculously spicy rice and no vegetables in sight and the vegan fish and chips was totally tasteless (we didn't end up paying for this meal). The chips were good though but not a meal. Much more thought needed to be given about presenting balanced meals, taking pride in ensuring that each item on a very limited menu was cooked properly and taste tested. It seems as if this restaurant is relying on location rather than serving good food and that really is a shame.

Came here for a bottomless brunch with my friends, our server was a young lad called reuben who was so friendly. Kept our drinks topped up and even sat down and had a drink with us when he finished. Can’t wait to come back for our annual trip.
