Clavell's - Kimmeridge

They were very busy, we had booked a table but the walk ins had made them too stretched. The food took ages, the service was poor. Not all of the food came out at the same time. I had to ask where our food was twice. They did apologise when I complained and they knocked some money off the bill but I think they need to think about the service and how shocking it was. They said they were caught out with the walk ins but if they are at capacity for booked customers, maybe they should say they are fully booked and give a good service to the diners they have. If you pay for a meal out as a family, it's a treat and this experience certainly didn't feel like a treat. Which is sad as I expect they can do much better if they have the right level of staff to customers.

Overall good experience, however parking is an issue but I suppose it demonstrates the popularity) price is the upper end of acceptable, but both the meat and vegetables were very good.

Lovely pub for lunch after going to the Etches Collection Museum. The staff were really friendly and helpful but the mains were disappointing. It was a Sunday so we were looking forward to a nice roast. Really nice vegetables but the pork was bland, dry and had no crackling. The gravy was average at best and the Dauphinoise potatoes were lacking seasoning. My partner had a veggie curry which she thought was nice. The desserts were very good though but all in all a very expensive meal for what we got. It’s a lovely pub with a great atmosphere and really friendly people but we’ll be going elsewhere for food in future.

Nice birthday booking, food was good and we were half an hour early which was no problem. Amazing location for views, fossils and walking

Good food and nice atmosphere. Very close to Etches museums
