The Spice Ship

Business trip stay. Room was quite comfortable and well decorated. There was quite a bit of noise from the road. Good for the price.

Great food and excellent friendly and efficient service. Room clean and pleasantly decorated, with quality bedding and lots of thoughtful touches. Only downside was the road noise - but earplugs were provided & were a big help.

We were recommended to eat at The Spice Ship and were not disappointed. Friendly staff, an excellent menu all at competitive prices, and really tasty food. Served perfectly timed (neither too quick or too slow). We stayed in Weymouth for 4 nights and ate there twice. Both times brilliant, and would have no hesitation recommending it.

Staff fantastic menu was excellent and the food was so good, room and facilities was great, definitely coming back later on the year

Stayed here for two nights. Room was clean and comfortable. Tea and coffee making facilities in the room, along with a hairdryer and complimentary toiletries. Breakfast was excellent (made to order). The staff were really friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. Ate in the restaurant at night, again food was excellent. Location was perfect , 20 minutes walk to the beach. I would recommend to anyone.

As a person who has been in hospitality for 20 years or more it is a shame the husband and staff of this establishment let it down. We frequented on the Saturday night which we appreciate was busy due to the football. After waiting for a period of time at one bar we were told that particular bar was closed and we needed to go to a different bar to then wait a further 10 minutes to be served, only to find the original bar had been opened again on return to our table. I placed a complaint with the landlady who begged me not to cancel our Sunday roast for the next day based on our experience. This was also enhanced by a typical bar brawl with likely bunch of lads that decided to throw a few punches at each other! The next day we returned for said Sunday meal to walk in and see who became apparent to be the bar maid/ server sat at the bar. We then moved to our table and then proceeded to be served what I can only class as the worst roast of my entire life. I went discreetly to a member of staff and asked to speak to a manager who I was told was the chef and owner. The gentleman I was presented with clearly had no customer service skills as didn’t even apologise for our experience and went straight on the defensive. Carrots and broccoli are not chewy and rubbery if cooked from fresh and not frozen. You dont teach someone who had cooked in a pub kitchen how to suck eggs! When I responded with I wouldn’t be recommending his establishment to anyone, his response was to shrug his shoulders! This was all in a restaurant that perceived their roasts were amazing, they were anything but. Would never visit this place again. Shame really as the landlady clearly cares about her pub. Shame her husband and staff dont feel the same!
