Rendezvous, Weymouth

There is always a place for somewhere like this in any town, somewhere where 'yoof' can go and get smashed. Lured by the '2 meals for �9' sign, my wife and I popped in here early on a Thursday evening. There were a couple of parties going on, and they had obviously been knocking them back, as they quickly got louder and louder. I had the Hunters Chicken, which was overloaded with salt, but not bad. The service was quicker than they said. What was incongruous with the place is the fantastic views over the harbour and bridge. We tried to shut ourselves away in the small 'parlour' and just admired the scenery. Needless to say, we did not stay for too long but retired to the Kings Arms across the bridge.

The Kings Arms, Weymouth

Popped in with the wife after sampling a 'two for �9 meal' at the Rendezvous. I expected to see half a dozen ales on and was disappointed to only see Courage Directors, Best and Caledonian on. I plumped for the Caledonian which was so so. A music quiz was in full flow, followed by a two piece band. The place was heaving. Pity they cannot put more decent beers on. And yes, the toilets were dirty (do old sea dogs prefer dirty bogs, I wonder?)
