Sweet Home Inn - Poole

My friends and I had spent a lovely afternoon in the outdoor seating area until we tried to use the toilets. My friend is asthmatic and we were refused entry as she didnt bring her exemption certificate, but it was absolutely fine for the outdoor...staff to go inside without a facemask, the rude blonde woman who is apparently sister of the owner wasnt wearing one either! This wouldve been fair enough if she wasnt trying to then cause a scene, when my friend then asked to borrow another friends mask she made a comment about how she clearly cant be that asthmatic if she’s putting the mask on and called her a slag!! Disgusting way to speak to someone. We then went back to the table and told the story to a friend when the ‘sister’ walker by and said ‘oh yeah youre still going on about it’. We very promptly gathered our belongings and left. Massive shame as the pub and atmosphere seems great but will not be returning with my money to a place run by a chav who speaks to customers in such a manner.

Would be curious to know the motivation of closure so prematurely in contrast to average pubs in the local poole, Dorset proximity.... Also drinks a bit pricey tbh, these limitations do not diminish the welcoming yet fun atmosphere plus the great piano is always a...little giggle after a few. (If you know what I mean ; Service was lovely.

Four of us visited this pub last week to catch up. We had a bottle of Oyster Bay sauvignon blanc and two pints of lager which came to £26+. We decided to return this week and the same drinks order was £34+. We asked why...the big difference and were told that the bottle of wine had gone up! What!? By £8!! There is no justification for this massive increase. Pure greed! We definitely will not be returning.

We called in for a catch up with an old friend friend was told pub was closing at 8.00Bought a gin and tonic , pint of cider and a pint of lager . It came to £17.50 Couldn’t believe how expensive it was good job...we wasn’t staying longer . We were supposed to be going the following night with some other friends but we phoned and and changed venue wasn’t paying those prices

Came in with the football team as usual and Jordan’s service was second to none. He went out of his way to buy and provide food for the whole team. Which all the locals enjoyed with us. Great service. Much appreciated
