The Anchor, Seatown

Easter Holidays, was steadily busy. Food was ok, Beer was ok. Hospitality was good and staff and customers making you feel welcome. Felt the pub was a little dated and in need of some TLC but led to believe that permission to do certain things was being refused. Definately has views as its main selling point and worth a visit.

The George Inn, Chideock

Hmmm, Grunted at on arrival, very overpriced for size of portions. Got the impression that if you were not spending �30 per head or more on food then they werent really interested. Zero atmosphere and Hospitality. Sorry not for us.

The Clock House Hotel, Chideock

After discussing this site with the Landlord, and having a laugh at the comments, i discovered the following. The pub is a family run freehouse and is owned by a Husband and Wife ( Mike and Helen ) and Helens Parents. They bought the pub in 2002 and moved down from Essex. The pub is mainly wet led and classes itself as a " A pub that serves food ". It currently has 27 teams playing Darts, Alley Skittles, Table Skittles, Pool and Crib so is definately a locals pub. That said it also has a high number of " Holiday Locals" who are about between March and October when the campsites are open. The pub becomes very much food led during school holidays when you need to book ( Easter was VERY busy here ) and with the Hospitality here along with the large portions and great beers i can see why. Will definately be back here and in my opinion it was the best of the 3 pubs in the village for hospitality and Value for money.
