Duke of Cornwall, Weymouth reopens!  A couple of days before Easter some of our members reported the pub as open again. We've now had it confirmed by the management. This is great news for the town .

There's a discount for CAMRA members as well, so get along there and give it a try!   Dated 22/04/17.

Dorchester
& District		Real Ale Pub Guides! We've long been impressed with the local guide sheets produced by our colleagues in Kernow (Cornwall). . We have also been thinking of producing some sort of guide for our area. The rapid rate of change within our pubs makes keeping guide books up-to-date impossible. So we decided on the sincerest form of flattery and have stated to produce pub guides of our own area. Click the picture to see our first one. Click this link to see the areas we plan to cover.   Dated 10/04/17.
Bottle Inn to close soon! Nigel Blake, the current licensee at the iconic Bottle Inn, Marshwood announced yesterday that the pub will soon be closing. . Over the last 20 years the Bottle has had a chequered history, much of which is documented in an article (pages 4-5) from five years ago in the Upper Marshwood Vale Parish Magazine. These broken agreements and unsatisfactory conditions have continued into the present time and have ultimately been the cause of the present situation. It is very clear that the pub can be run as a viable business - indeed its performance under Nigel and Chrissy's stewardship have resulted in several awards. What is not clear is what the owners of the property wish to do with it.   Dated 2/03/17.
