  • Community Owned

A community-owned pub, set in remote location signed off the B3157 between Weymouth and Portesham. Closed for 18 months the pub was bought by the village community, and re-opened in July 2025 when it's demise was threatened. Meals are popular and much local food is served as well as local beers. It is a favourite with walkers from the nearby coastal path especially at weekends, so it is perhaps advisable to book ahead.
