Bridport Arms - West Dorset

The pub has a lovely appearance and is in a great location with a large car park and clean toilets. The staff were lovely and friendly. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing. When our meals arrived, the presentation was lacking. The sausage and mash resembled school dinners, with flavorless and lumpy mashed potatoes, watery gravy, and bland sausages. The hake was tasty but the portion size did not justify the cost. My fish and chips were delicious, but I ordered a small portion and was charged for a large. Despite requesting normal peas instead of minted mushy peas, they still served the wrong side and I had to ask for a replacement. When the bill came, we requested to pay separately, but there was a mix-up and we may have paid for each other's meals. We didn't speak up at the time to avoid causing a scene with our friends. The pub itself is lovely, with a cozy fire that should have been lit to make the atmosphere more inviting. Overall, the staff were friendly and welcoming, but improvements could be made to the food and service.

The atmosphere at this restaurant is delightful. I had a very enjoyable Sunday roast with friends and family. They even welcome dogs, providing individual dog drinking bowls which was a nice touch. The staff were friendly, the food was good, and the location was great. I will definitely be visiting again.

We 'd never eaten in the Bridport Arms before but decided to try a Sunday roast. We were not disappointed we started with the tomato soup which was delicious. The roast dinner was cooked to perfection with a large portion of beef, fresh vegetables and 'real gravy '. For dessert we had the rhubarb and apple sundae which again, was delicious. Our waitress Robin was very attentive and made a relaxing meal even more enjoyable.

Went for Lunch today with a friend, I have to say I had the Best fish chips I’ve ever had. Excellent food, also gluten free batter on the fish was just delicious. Also great value for money. Will definitely be returning 100

Maybe 2.30 was late to be booking Sunday lunch (be warned) but the main course options were an embarrassment (only beef and chicken), all three meals when they were served had to be sent back because they were cold. The food was tasteless, was pre cooked rather than freshly cooked and showed a total absence of anything approaching professional cheffing. Oh, and the Palmers beer was 70p a pint yes 70p a pint more expensive than other pubs in the town. In all, they’re taking the day tripping punters for granted. The waiting staff was lovely though.
