My husband and I visited the Pilot Boat twice during our recent weeks stay in nearby Charmouth. The food on both occasions was well cooked and a reasonable price. For location and value for money this pub is well worth a visit.

On our very first trip to Lyme my daughter and I were in need of some food and refreshment after a 7 hour stint in traffic. It was a Saturday evening in April and the Pilot Boat was full to the brim with customers, this was a good sign as far as I was concerned as at this time of... More

We live locally and eat out rather a lot. This is a welcoming pub ( despite it being a Palmers establishment), the staff are friendly and welcoming.
