Two premier steaks and a bottle of decent red for £35! How can you go wrong? We upgraded this time from the rump to the ribeyr for an extra £10 so £35 all in for two tasty steaks and a decent bottle of plonk.

Great pub with brilliant food. Sea food trawler board is a must. I can personally recommend it. Share with someone you love or at least can have a good conversation with. Then sit outside to enjoy the atmosphere of hope square. I dont think there's anything on the menu that I didnt enjoy and the staff are amazing!!

Wouldn’t let us in for a drink because our family had more than 8 people.. the pub was empty as were the outside tables. We were looking to stop for one drink, no food. It was mid afternoon on a Saturday! Can’t be doing too badly if you’re happy to turn away the

After contacting the Red Lion via their website I asked if they were doing Sunday Lunches on New Years Eve. They confirmed they were and I made a booking which was confirmed in writing. However on arrival at the pub I was greeted with blank looks and no booking and also to be told there would be no Sunday lunch available just a limited menu with not much of an apology even after showing the correspondence. Thankfully the pub was not too busy and we were able to get a table however the service was a bit do it yourself having clean our own table. Staff seemed harassed and really not interested. We are all locals and normally really enjoy going to the pub and always recommend it to friends from outside the area but after yesterday’s attitude it will be removed from our list. Very disappointed.
Pub looked lovely and welcoming but contrary to listing does not allow dogs inside.

First of all the pub itself is the absolute epitome of a pub that has been there for many years. It is just away from the harbour in the very beautifully Hope Square. When you go in there ands not too much space but this has been compensated with outside seating with heaters and 5 or 6 quirky beach huts which are fully insulated and make for a fun experience to have your drinks and food in Now onto the main event. We went into the pub and unfortunately we hadn’t booked. Totally our fault we just thought about having a meal 9n the off chance. We got ourselves a drink and rather than be turned away we were told that as a table became. available we could dive right in. In the meantime we really took in the ambience of a lovely historical pub and could imagine over the time so many lifeboat men coming in either just before they were called to.rescue lives or afterwards to either have a couple to celebrate a good call out or commiserate when things weren’t as successful. A table came up right by the wood burner, handy although the pub itself wasn’t particularly cold. Someone came more or less straightaway and it was steak night so the deal is 2 rumps and a bottle of red or 2 Sirloins and the wine or 2 Ribeye and a bottle of red. Reasonable at late £20’s for the Rump upto £35 for the Ribeye deal. All 8oz. The menu was also available which incudes a full on trawler tray of seafood for £39. Fish however is not my friend so I turned to a 10oz Fillet Steak with all true trimmings and scampi topper which came to under £30. The steak ? was cooked to perfection medium rare exactly how I like it and more importantly exactly as I had asked it to be cooked. The chef really is very good. The rest was of the food was cooked beautifully and it was all really filling and delicious, it was a bonus to wash it down with a pint of Stowford Press. It’s a cider I really like but often pubs opt for thatchers instead which I get a little bored of. Overall a great place to spend a night out and try. Menu that isn’t too same to other pubs and restaurants. Highly reccommended.

Chose the restaurant as it had good reviews. Beer was great ... but whilst waiting for our order of Sunday roast the table next door walked out saying their meals took an hour to arrive and they were cold! I asked the barman if there was a problem with the kitchen, and he said no. After waiting nearly an hour for our roasts, the arrived and were also cold ... flat chewy Yorkshires, and uncooked carrots. Some of our group were famished and decided to continue to eat, I sent mine back and was assured it would be hot and well cooked ... some time later another plate of cold food arrived, back it went again .... this time it returned hot but still flat chewy Yorkshires, uncooked carrots and this time the meat was so overcooked it was impossible to chew and swallow! The barman wouldn't let us speak to the chef, and suggested we ordered something else (although much of the menu was `off`). One free drink and my meal not eaten at all and most of the other plates with plenty left on them. really spoilt a lovely Sunday out in Dorset, with no reasons given for the very poor food. If they had been honest and said there was a problem, we would have had a beer and gone elsewhere, but because they assured us `all was well, we stayed. Maybe this isn't typical of the place, but with 6 people walking out and another 5 given equally poor food it does make you wonder if it is worth taking the chance. However, I do reiterate that the beer was great.

Not tried food. Old school seaside pub. Good ambience. 4 ales to choose from. Add it to the list if you're walking through Weymouth and like stuff other than peroni
