Welcome To The Weld Arms...

The Weld Arms is a 17th century coaching Inn, nestled in the picturesque village of East Lulworth, Dorset, situated a short stroll from the famous Lulworth Castle.

The Weld Arms has been taken back under the management of the estate, fully renovating the bar and restaurant with a fresh look, new menu and extended drinks list.

Our priority is to create a family friendly, welcoming and pleasantly relaxed environment. Whether you choose to have a local cider by the open fire, or a freshly made dish from our new kitchen. The Weld Arms welcomes you, your friends, family & dogs to create new memories with us.
