If visiting Weymouth be sure to seek out this extremely friendly, two bar pub in residential area on hill above town centre. Walls covered with nautical and military memorabilia. A hidden beer garden and a good crowd of locals.
A 19th building that was originally two cottages and four small rooms. Eldridge Pope bought the pub in 1921 and the sloping bar counter on the front right could date from the inter war period. What looks like an old window has some old bar back shelving but the fireplace dates from 1973. The rear bar was tiny and in 1973 was doubled in size by adding the former kitchen on the left which has ply panelled walls and nautical items covering them. The bar back and counter fitten 1999. The front part is now a combination of bar and a skittle alley to the left. Details from 'A Short History of the Chapplehay tavern, Weymouth by G E Schofield April 1983 (Updated Sept 2009). Not enough old fittings remain.
