Eight Kings Inn

From Weymouth take the A354 through Fortuneswell and continue to towards Portland Bill. The Eight Kings Inn lies on the far south of Portland Isle.

Right in the heart of Southwell, Dorset's most southerly village, the Eight Kings Inn is a lively village pub that plays an important part in the life of the local community. Originally two old cottages, the building has seen several alterations over the 200 years of its existence and, built of Portland stone, it is sure to be standing for another 200 years. Apart from being the only Eight Kings Inn in the country, the pub is also unique, and lucky, in having Kathryn and Jim as landlady and landlord. An interesting and very active couple, with many years experience in the trade, they have certainly stamped their personalities on the pub since they arrived here in 1996.

Well known locally for Kathryn's excellent home-cooked meals, and in particular the great value Sunday lunches, this an ideal place for a both a relaxing drink in the spacious bar or a tasty meal in the cosy and atmospheric restaurant area. The couple's keen interest in music - Jim plays the guitar - is reflected in the weekly live music evenings to which all are invited to come and join in.
