Bankes Arms Hotel

Bed very comfortable. Nice breakfast.

Best food in Corte Castle! Chicken burger and fish and chips were amazing, friendly service and proper classic pub atmosphere. Great beers and great selection on the menu. Had food at the other pub across the road and does not compare. Thank you! Delicious!

Second time eating Sunday lunch here , extremely dissapointed .restaurant was grubby, copious amounts of dogs which is highly unpleasant where food is served plus 2 in our party are allergic . Parsnips were uncooked, dissapointing veg red cabbage and green cabbage not to our liking,both sloppy and over cooked, limited veg ,not sure where you beef came from .!! The Vegetarian dish was not eaten due to tasting unpleasant On both occasions we bought guests from abroad thinking we were going to get a great English traditional roast . Yorkshire puddings were O K guess they were frozen !! Dissulioned won't be coming back .

Me and my wife booked for dinner here last minute on a Saturday and were welcomed by the most amazing staff, mae and Rebecca, the food was amazing and service outstanding. Thank you very much and would definitely recommend😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

Great old atmospheric building, good for a meal out. Rebecca was a perfect host and good service. The pub had a good ambience and the architecture And decor were very interesting I keeping with the whole atmosphere. Food was good and tasty….next time I will try the Octoberfest ! Thouroughly recommended.

What a disappointment of a Sunday lunch at the Bankes Arms. The building is stunning as is whole of Corfe Castle, but forget ordering any food. Shown to a table with a very uninterested young lady, who pointed to a box with clip board menus. Bar area looked a mess, piled up glasses with no room to move. Staff chatting rather than clearing up. It's the first view for anyone entering the place! We had to ask to order drinks, placed our order for 2 roast lamb and 2 beef....... then we sat and waited. Oh and we waited. And waited for over 40 mins before 'we' had to ask can we have a drink & how is food order going. Food was poorly presented piled high topped with a yorkshire pudding. Meat on top of red cabbage & some other unrecognisable shredded vegetable. A carrot ? or suede 'baby food' puree spread across the plate. The roast potatoes were dreadful, clearly re heated in a deep fat fryer. The carrot & the parsnip were the highlight of the plate. The Yorkshire pudding was rubbery, cold if not stale. Meat was poor. Had the look for pre packed sliced meat. The cauliflower was lovely & cheesy. It was not busy, just seemed a bit chaotic and unorganised. The staff need to be given a bit of direction! The only thing we didnt need to sit waiting for was the bill, which arrived promptly after asking for it. I would suggest a calculator for behind the bar. Maybe a quick look before at the food hygiene certificate rating would have helped us. Such a shame in a prime location within this historic village with a bit of TLC, organisation, and a good Chef this could be a Star Attraction in this beautiful area. Come on 'Bankes Arms Hotel' - step up and show the visiting world how we can do things in the UK

Went as a stop off on a day out. Terrible service. Waitress (young blonde and thin) looked like she couldn't give a damn. More interested in chatting to her colleague. Given lots of eye rolling when we asked for sauces. Although the food was lovely. Wouldn't go again.
