Although apparently serving all day Sunday Lunch is available at 12, 2, 4 or 6.On the positive side good choice of meats that tasted fine. Less so the vegetables âalthough a good selection they were, in my view, not very tasty. Possibly over cooked or spent too long in the warming trays?Building could do with a little care and attention.

Called in here with several filthy friends after a morning of hard conservation work in a nearby river. The pub is lovely, the staff welcoming (despite our appearance!), the toilets clean and well stocked! A nice surprise. The menu was varied and interesting and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the food they ordered. A really lovely lunch was had and very much enjoyed. Highly recommend to everyoneMany thanks for your review. We're used to customers who've been on long walks or had a hard day working so we don't mind how you look! It's always nice to hear that the little extras are appreciated and we really value your feedback on the food. We hope to see you again soon at The Spyway. Thanks again The Spyway team

We took the Father-in-Law away for a weekend break and stumbled upon the best pub in Dorset! Under new management for only two weeks, on our visit, we were staggered by the exceptionally welcoming staff, a wide range of local ales, a super wine list and the food was the best I have ever had in a country pub. It was like a fine dining restaurant, especially the red shrimp and the chef was obviously highly trained and used to operating at a much higher level. The Elm Tree Inn is a family run business and well worth a visit. The village itself is very quiet and there are some lovely walks down to Chesil Beach. Get down there!

I visited this lovely cosy pub with my friend who lives in the village. We had dinner which consisted of bread with balsamic and olive oil for dipping and calamari to share as a starter. The calamari was one of the best for a long time, not rubber bands that were tasteless but morsels of the freshest seafood lightly battered with sauce for dipping. Bread was fresh and olive oil tasted of good quality. We followed with crayfish linguine which was exquisite. Lots of delicate tasting fish in a creamy and garlicky sauce which was so plentiful we struggled to finish it all. Wine was also excellent quality and not overpriced. I live in central Dorchester and sadly do not drive so being here was a really treat and if I was nearer I would definitely frequent this pub on a regular basis and get to know the owners and the regulars. It is also dog friendly and the lovely waitress made a fuss of our dog and there was even a biscuit for her! We are planning another visit very soon when we are next due another âgirlie night out!âHi Christine,Thank you for your feedback and kind words. We are so chuffed you all had a lovely time.

We were a large family group and had booked.The staff seemed put out by us and our children!We all wanted meals and drinks, The bill was a pricey one , you would of thought they would of been pleased.Every thing was you canât sit there , children arenât allowed on stools near the bar or bikes arenât allowed in the garden!They kept staring over at us and the children they were playing card games being very well behaved! The food was quite good both food/drink expensive for a country pub.Itâs a shame everyone was so rude as we were staying at the local campsite and we are local so wanted to return but we wonât be going to this pub again.

Reviewed By Eddylevel
Abbotsbury was heaving with hungry visitors when our walking group spent a pleasant day in the area - but The Swan was not exactly packed. Our arrival for a lunch booking was handled by one- rather bumbling - member of staff who took an age to serve us all, and our pre-ordered lunch took a while to arrive. Itâs not the best value menu in the area, and the food was quite ordinary. With such a huge potential market for good food itâs a shame that itâs not being managed to capitalise.

We have eaten here quite a few times and itâs always nice but today our lunch was just fabulous. The menu is really interesting with some old favourites and some new ideas including vegetarian options like grilled haloumi with asparagus salad and falafel burgers. Luckily they had lovely soft gluten free bread available so as I wasnât really very hungry I ordered smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwiches with salad. When it arrived it was a huge triple decker with a good 100g of salmon between the layers and a massive salad, really fresh and varied with a delicious light dressing. Husband had a BLT - agin it was a triple stuffed with bacon and he had some thick chips and a decent amount of salad with it. Both these lunches were only £7 each!The staff were very polite and discreet but accommodating, checking we were enjoying our food and even offering to wrap half my sandwich for me to take home as I was too full to finish it. The little touches made it extra nice. Thick quality napkins, sunny conservatory dining, immaculate toilets with free hand lotion, Sanctuary body butter and even a perfume spray. Coffee was also good and every care taken for our comfort- staff even offered to shut the open door to the garden if we felt a draught. Next time we will try dinner here. My advice would be to choose this venue over the other pub in Abbotsbury (also tried) Dogs cannot come into the conservatory but are allowed at the tables in the bar. Highly recommend the Ilchester Arms.
