Took a detour off the coast path to call in for a pint before catching the bus back to Weymouth. A friendly little pub that’s reasonably priced. Muddy boots welcomed too!

Although a small place, the food and range of food for a Sunday Carvery was excellent. The medium and large carvery offered a mix of 3 meats, plus 9 veg, gravy (obviously made from meat juices), apple/mint/horseradish sauces.

A very pleasant lunch with friends at this small but very friendly and well presented pub. Nice simple meals and a good choice for vegetarians, too.

Keep fit group. Time to relax and get to know our colleague’s. Christmas menu, had to wait for 50 minutes before the starters were served. No explanation offered. A further 30-40 minutes for the main meal. Food was excellent, served hot with plenty of choices of fresh vegetables and crispy roasted potatoes. Good atmosphere in the pub and nicely decorated. Music a little bit too loud. staff friendly and approachable. Reasonably priced. Would recommend this pub and would certainly revisit.

We were on the island and looking for somewhere to have lunch, many places were either closed or not doing food, we had seen the Eight Kings and were recommended it by another pub ( not doing food) . We called in and went in the the “public bar” , it was a Wednesday lunch time , we enquired about lunch and told it was mid week roast day,, either pork, chicken or gammon,, we both went for gammon , with a pint of Doom Bar and a large Chardonnay. Well this is not a Michelin Star restaurant and nor should it be ,,it provided us with a wonderful full roast dinner, with roast pots, Yorkshire pud, stuffing, peas cabbage, meat and gravy,,, all for £5.95, yes that’s right £5.95. It was excellent. Including the drinks lunch for 2 at under £25.00 Outstanding, This establishment was clean friendly and welcoming, If on the island give it a try. Thank you.

We had a lovely evening at The Eight Kings. The local company were very friendly and informative, as was the Landlord, a very nice guy and always smiling when I saw him. Our meal was tasty and plenty of it. For the price, I could not fault it. Service was excellent, friendly, courteous and nothing was too much trouble. I don't usually tip unless I feel the food and staff deliver more than what's expected. Nick and his staff certainly deliver that. I would recommend The Eight Kings to anyone looking for value, quality and a warm friendly atmosphere. Supurb!!!

Looked like it's been done up recently. The food was excellent and the staff were friendly. Expect solid portions of tasty British food rather than fine dining. Kids menu was OK.Atmosphere was a bit flat as we were the only ones in but it was midweek out of high season.
