Weymouth (and area) recommendations pleez

Hi

I'm spending a week in Weymouth soon. The Boot isn't to be missed, and I'm going to find the Square & Compass this time.

Are there any other "must visit" pubs in the area? Is there anywhere in Swanage or Dorchester I should try?

Thanks in advance :)

It's nine years since I left Dorset, so some of these pubs might have changed somewhat, but these would be my recommendations.

Weymouth - The Boot, Ship Inn, Kings Arms
Dorchester - Blue Raddle
Upwey - Royal Standard
Swanage - Black Swan Inn, White Swan, Red Lion.
If you make it to Swanage, then you should be able to get to the Square and Compass and a trip out to the remote Bankes Arms might be worth a try as well.
Poole/Parkstone - Brew House, Bermuda Triangle, Bricklayers Arms, Angel.

As with any trip to Dorset, brace yourself for lots of Hall and Woodhouse and Ringwood beers.

Have fun and let us know what you discover. I'm always looking out for new places to try when I go back.
