The Scott Arms - Piatti

Terrible food , cheap bread , oily salad , frozen butter . Staff not bothered . The pub was very cold which was a shame as there was a fire ! I couldn’t eat my food so my plate said it all !

Huge portions and good quality food so no reason to complain. They were under-staffed which feels a sad problem for many venues, so with that comes its own issues, but the staff were lovely, and I would throughly recommend visiting. No doubt this is great place to be in the summer as the views are amazing.

Wish I had read reviews before going for a meal. Firstly do not agree to the 10% service charge when basically all they do is bring your meals everything else you have to get yourself (cutlery condiments etc) Now the food not good, Fish and chips batter not cooked through, Ham very poor, and the burger would have been better from Burger king. And all overpriced. Garden furniture in a really poor state (accident waiting to happen) Such a same because the views are fantastic basically this is all it has to offer. Was not like this year's ago. Visualizza piatti

The menu was very limited (not like the one I checked online before) and the food wasn't great. My husband had ham, egg and chips and the ham was really fatty, my chips were a mix of under and over cooked and my son's burger bun was stale. The worst bit was paying the automatic service charge when you order at the bar, get your own drinks and we even had to get our own cutlery as the member of staff laying tables missed those where people were already sitting. Very disappointed! I wished I'd paid attention to other recent reviews that weren't good.

Aside from a narrow list of options on the menu, rotten garden furniture, and basic food, as service charge is added to the bill, and whilst I wouldn't normally complain, if paying a service charge you expect service. After the rather bland food had arrived, we asked whether there was cutlery we were told to get it ourselves from outside the main building. Similarly, having asked later on whether we could have some water we were once again directed by the unattentive staff to fetch our own water from the bar. Used to be a fantastic restaurant 20 years ago thoroughly unimpressed!

This place has so much potential with great views of Corfe Castle but it is a tourist trap and not worth the money or effort. Visited the Scott Arms this weeks with wife and two kids. I had to queue for 25 mins to even get my order taken from the only bar staff that was working. We had to bring cutlery condiments to our table. 4 meals (3 x burger chips; 1 x bangers mash) 2 pints of ale and 3 juices cost nearly £100!!!! When I queried this I was told that 10% service charge was applied. Absolute joke what service? There are plenty of other eateries around Purbeck so I would recommend that you avoid this place.

I unfortunately ordered the fish and chips at this restaurant. When it arrived, it had a very strong ammonia taste and unpleasant smell. It was inedible. I even had my family smell it to confirm that I wasn't imagining it. My husband quietly mentioned the issue to the staff, and the dish was taken away without any apology or offer for a replacement. After waiting in line to pay, I requested for the fish to be removed from the bill, which was done, but I was told that the fish had been freshly brought that morning. I felt mistreated and disbelieved. It's disappointing because the pub is located in a beautiful spot, but I doubt we will return, especially not for a meal.

Visited today for the first time for lunch. Staff very inattentive, they could do with some customer service training. A table for 4, we ordered the winter vegetable soup and a burger. The soup was more of a mash than a soup when it arrived 30 minutes later. We could stand a spoon in it! We had to ask for a pot of hot water to make it more soupy . How do you mess up soup? We were then informed that the burger would be delayed due to the batch being ruined? I mean, honestly, it was like the kids were left to run the place whilst the adults were away for the weekend. The burger turned up nearly 10 minutes later, no apology, just plonked down in front of me. I asked for some mayo which was begr...

After coming here for many years i will say the place is on life support and maybe it's time to pull the plug. You would think the staff would be a bit more attentive seeing as they are putting service charge on but they are completely uninterested and even antagonistic. I think they lack the very basics of customer service and would advise the owner to either train or to replace. The lady on the bar was more interested in smoking then serving diden't even wash her hands after. As someone whos been coming here often for 10 years i would say its the worse ive ever seen this place the buildings run down and in need of some serious renovation and investment garden furniture falling apart, drab...
