We often visit Swanage and have been to this pub many times for drinks but this was our first time for food. The staff were very friendly and efficient but the food was something of a let down. Don't get me wrong, it was okay, but just okay. We wouldn't think of going back again to eat there but we would go back for drinks.

A pub located on the high street in Swanage. There is parking at the rear but with limited spaces. A typical local traditional looking pub with seating inside & plenty outside with some undercover.
