Lived in Dorset for over 20 years and always avoided this pub until recently as it looked uninviting. I believe it changed hands recently and it is now not only attraction from the outside but lovely inside. Very welcoming staff, a lovely lay out inside with soft seating as well as tables and chairs for dining and drinking. They also... More

We had visited the restaurant at the Kings Arms a few months ago but found the food and ambience to be distinctly average. Since then, the the restaurant has changed hands and the improvement is simply stellar. Being welcomed by the owner at the front door with a warm, friendly smile is a nice touch and we were made to... More

We were looking for a nice beer garden while driving between Bridport and Weymouth and spotted The King's Arms. I used to live in Dorset so I was pleased to see some Otter Amber on tap which was my favorite local ale, the temperature and pouring was spot on. We decided to have the fish platter with a couple of... More

Had dinner here with some friends on a Sunday evening, when the place was fairly quiet. Food was very good. Pleasant room and general ambience. Attentive service from the ebullient Claud. And reasonable prices. All round, a very agreeable experience and I wish the new owners well.

Very good attentive service, lovely to be welcomed and looked after well. Plates nice and hot , good sized starters, and all of our table of five had very good sized manageable main meals., the seabass was delicious, as was the gurnard, good not to see any peas on the plates! So thanks for a happy evening. , ,

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our surprise visit to the King's Arms, we had a lovely meal the food was tasty and well presented. Lovely to see a place which welcomes doggies and children. Will definitely visit next time we are in the village.

We don't eat out often, but since the new owners have taken over we've eaten here 4 times. The Kings Arms is our local, but it's not felt like it for a long long time. Last night we popped in for supper and it was so good to see so many locals in The new owners have made a huge,... More

Dropped by on bank Holiday Monday for a quick coffee and lunch, was welcomed on arrival by very friendly staff and shown to a table by the fire as it was freezing out. 2 good cafe lattes turned up and we ordered the fig and goats cheese tart, excellent and the Welsh rarebit, very tasty but could have been cheesier!!...

Since the new people have taken over they have made a big effort to move upmarket and become "POSH". I do not think this will work in the area. Food is expensive and the portions are small. There is a quite caravan site almost opposite, all mature couples and small families. This could be the "bread and butter" trade for... More
