The John Gregory

Head down Radipole Lane in Southill and you'll find yourself in the kind of pub that actually feels like it belongs to Weymouth rather than some corporate chain. The John Gregory has that lived-in comfort of a place where regulars prop up the bar, but it's welcoming enough that you won't feel like you've wandered into someone's front room. The food's straightforward and done properly—the sort of thing that pairs well with a pint without any faffing about. What keeps people coming back, judging by the reviews, is consistency: good ales on tap, staff who know what they're doing, and the kind of unpretentious atmosphere that's becoming rarer round here.
