    Food was excellent and plentiful and staff were friendly. Only slight criticism would be the length of time it took to bring each course out , other than that it was amazing.

    Generally good. Food tasty and hot. Would have preferred to put own gravy on meal as Yorkshire pudding was soggy. Had to ask for welcome drinks, one starter came without bread and had to ask for coffee and mince pies as waitress didn't know it was included.

    We would like to thank everyone at the Spice Ship Weymouth for such an amazing Christmas Day meal. It was absolutely lovely from start to finish. The pub itself was decorated like something out of a fairytale! We are going to book again for next year! Can’t wait!

    We were a large group of 30 so a challenge for any venue. The ordering process was straightforward and the staff were very welcoming and helpful. The venue was beautifully decorated and the service was great at all times. The food was well presented and enjoyed by most. Settling the bill was straightforward.

    Customer service was terrible. When we arrived no proper greeting, waitress barely gave eye contact, no one checking was our meal ok, just didn’t feel looked after. We had to ask for the dessert as was forgotten after having a break from the main. Had to ask for beer to be filled properly in the glass as only 3/4 filled! No serviettes on the table so had to ask. Food overall was ok, but piled on the plate. Maybe vegetables could be served separately. Bar area empty afterwards so no atmosphere at all. Definitely need to sort out customer service training !!
