  • "It seemed to be run by teenagers more interested in chatting behind the bar."

Food Quality

Pros:

  • "For just 30 quid we were served with a whopping portion of 14 delicious chips, 4 generous pieces of salami and 2 strips of Parma ham."
  • "Venison bourguignon is absolutely to die for."
  • "Had an amazing meal for lunch today at Lulworth Cove Inn. So refreshing to be able to enjoy some great-tasting vegan options."

  • "The restaurant was great, fantastic steak and pie."
  • "Food is very tasty and consistently good."
  • "The food was delicious!"

Cons:

  • "H&W Burger was not great, patty was hard and dry."
  • "25 mins later the food order came, which was wrong, however all plated and still awaited one plate of food."
  • "We ordered 4 meals and three were missing ingredients named on the menu."
  • "The fish and chips was disappointing, considering we are next to the sea - the batter was undercooked and the fish tasted fishy."
  • "Really disappointing Sunday Roast. Beef was either chewy or bone dry on the same plate."
  • "The vegetarian Bhaji burger was not up to its standards. It was too oily, bland and a mixture of many different flavours that didn’t exactly describe what we expected from a ‘Bhaji’ burger."
  • "The food arrived within a couple of minutes of ordering which would suggest it’s not made freshly."

Ambiance & Location

Pros:

  • "All the great attractions are literally just steps away from their front door."
  • "It is set in a beautiful part of the jurassic coast, with some amazing walks and vistas. Well worth a visit."

Cons:

  • "Then the water pipes kicked off!"
  • "The only problem is of which is not the fault of the Lulworth Cove Inn is the in the car park no matter what time of day you must pay for four hours."
  • "Only negative: the £5 parking charge is steep and off-putting if you're going to the restaurant/pub as a specific destination."
  • "Our balcony had cigarette stumps from previous guests that hadn't been cleaned."
  • "Woke up with a refuse lorry outside our window emptying the bins at 6:45am!"
  • "Payment was a nightmare! Trouble accepting credit cards and they don't take cash!!"
  • "The fish batter was underdone and soggy, chips were soggy as they slopped the fish on top of the chips."

  • "People pay with their hard earned money and you literally get stupid servings sizes."
  • "The serving sizes were a joke."
  • "Booked our meal for 2 as a holiday treat. Has to be the worst £18 x 2 I’ve ever spent on a meal."
  • "£12 vegetarian pie tasted microwaved or cooked from frozen which, even if it wasn't, is very underwhelming."
  • "A bit pricey for mains (£18+ for sea bass, and burgers also expensive, but it is a tourist trap)"
