The link goes to The Bankes Arms Country Inn which is in Swanage just down the road and not the Bankes Arms Hotel which by my reckoning is http://www.dorset-hotel.co.uk. which is reviewed by BLTP. <br />Mind you that one, oh hang about..the one in Swanage not Corfe Castle, doesn't appear to have too many glowing reviews on "beer in the evening" either. When I went to the one in Swanage a few years ago it was rather nice, however I had just been drenched in a cloud burst and they had an open fire so I could have been unduly biased.Nick Kingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30743480.post-91001844906239906522009-07-01T12:39:03.757+01:002009-07-01T12:39:03.757+01:00That sort of crap makes me so angry (along with a ...That sort of crap makes me so angry (along with a Brakes van parked outside) — it’s not rocket science to offer good food and service — the sort of people who run pubs like this should be drummed out of the trade, mind you, the sort of people that enjoy this sort of 1970s England Berni Inn experience probably have MUG written on their foreheads.Adrian Tierney-Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05421802854011395300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30743480.post-53778108172518082842009-07-01T10:10:10.742+01:002009-07-01T10:10:10.742+01:00You forgot about the Tortilla chips with my sandwi...You forgot about the Tortilla chips with my sandwich.
