| Pub was quite cold as a previous poster had mentioned, despite a fire going and being sat quite close to it. Also on a busy day through the Christmas period, only seemed to have one member of staff behind the bar, as well as one girl serving in the restaurant. The choice of beer was a bit limited, with only 6X and Ringwood Best on. Not bad, but not too good either so will give it a 5. hampshirehog - 30 Dec 2014 15:47 |
| This pub is always freezing cold, lacks atmosphere and staff. I spend more time at the bar waiting than I do drinking, even though there is seldom more than a dozen people in here. marhop - 24 Apr 2012 18:07 |
| A decent pub, with a varied food menu at reasonable prices. Beer is well kept and the standard is Ringwood Best, but there is always some sort of interesting / seasonal guest beer on too. A big car park if you are coming by road and the Willett is just on the number 3 bus route from Poole into Wimborne if you are travelling by public transport. A big garden at the rear. There is an area more specifically for dining though meals can of course be taken anywhere in the bar. As a result of its close proximity to the local crematorium the pub is popular for wakes, for which the dining area is well suited. PhilR - 1 Jan 2012 17:20 |
| first time visit for me,great pint of timothy taylor,the food was very good,service needs fine tuning,but an overall good visit. chairboy - 26 Jul 2010 16:04 |
| A damn good pub, with a wide range of beers, albeit mostly foreign. The Willett Arms has gone up in the world since being a Brewer's Fayre and is sort of like a gastropub. The menu is varied and the service is generally good: nice friendly staff at the bar and in the restaurant. We visit about once a month now and I have yet to leave disappointed: after the Olive Branch this is my favourite Pub in WImborne: the food is probably better here, but the beer is better in the Olive Branch. Certainly worth avoiding the Stocks and Horns to get to. Savapub - 8 Jan 2010 23:15 |
