Boat On The Bay in Purbeck - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Gorgeous location, great food & excellent service. Would definitely recommend a visit & we will be back over the summer

Unbelievable! For a temp restaurant on the beach I wasn’t expecting much but both my partner and I were blown away. The best onion rings I have ever eaten !! Cheesy chips were incredible. Burger was amazing !!! Crab was delicious 10 out of 10. I’m just gutted I don’t live closer. Top quality food at an honest price.

Fab food with a wonderful view. Enjoyed super fresh crab in newly baked baguette. Kids loved their burgers and crispy chips. NB they start serving lunch food at 12 noon. You can get coffee and bacon rolls/cake earlier.

A lovely " pop up" restaurant on the grass overlooking the bay. Food and drink is prepared in the mobile vehicles and bought over to your table. Plenty of clean picnic benches available, with such a great view. My husband had posh fish finger sandwich & chips. He said it was really tasty & filling. The chips were suepr crispy 😋. We both had coffees which were spot on. Plenty of options for both hot & cold drinks.. Service was friendly and efficient. The mobile toilets were clean and fresh ( much, much nicer than the public toilets across the car park). We would definitely be recommend and return.

Had been inWeymouth to visit family and took a trip to the Corfe area.We then went down to Kimmeridge as not been for40 years.What a change .The lady at the toll hut told us there was a pop up restaurant on the car park because we had asked if we wanted to go back to the village for food would we have to pay the toll again.She said no but there was food down there.Well what a lovely surprise. Busy but no problem getting a seat,The food,service and everything was 1st class and very reasonable.They had an amazing system in place ,also lovely clean toilet facilities.Made a great visit,a most enjoyable day.Hope they are still there next year when we come.

Was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food served: cooked fresh, and absolutely delicious. Not only that, we were made to feel very welcome as customers. Most beautiful spot to sit and eat.

Our first time voting Kimmeridge Bay and we decided to eat dinner here before we came home. We had a crayfish baguette with chips & coleslaw and seabass fishcakes with chips. Both meals were delicious. We also had iced coffees. Sat outside overlooking the bay what a beautiful view.

Overpriced food served, if you are going to charge pub prices for food then it needs to be better than a deep fried experience. We ordered the seafood basket, lobster and fish cakes and chaser salad expecting form the menu and website for it be be fresh. Everything was deep fried to an inch of its life, burnt chips and fish cakes. The half a lobster was tiny and the ceaser salad chicken looked like it was out of a supermarket packet and was left. All in all overpriced for what we received. I would say stick to the sandwiches, we through let’s try the fish related food as it states how all locally caught etc would not recommend. Nearly £150 spent for two families and a dreadful meal. If going to Kimmeridge bring a picnic, it’s stunning.

What a lovely place this is we usually visit Clavells but decided to try down the bay, so glad we did, amazing views, great food, service was really good with friendly staff. Will definatly be back soon. Would recommend to anyone to visit.

Brilliant place. We ordered the seafood basket and the fish finger baguette. They were so so nice! The chips that came with the baguette were possibly the best I’ve ever had! My only criticism was that the cod bites on the basket was slightly cold in the middle, but I can forgive that as the food was amazing!

Such a gorgeous location and to be able to have an early dinner here on a sunny evening, looking out to sea and listening to the birds, was delightful. Add a short (but varied enough) menu, quick service and well executed food and we were in heaven! The chips in particular were delicious, best I've had for quite a while. We will be back very soon - I want to try the lobster!

Lovely, freshly cooked, proper( not processed) food. Menu varied. Friendly and accommodating staff. Just what we needed.

We had the nachos and tuna cheese melt baguette, the food was delicious and the service was fantastic and to top it off….a gorgeous view, what more could you want!

Visited today and had the most amazing lobster thermidor with breath taking views off Kimmeridge Bay!

Slow service , food was average. No sign to say food doesn’t get started until 12 o’clock. But was also not told that you could order food before this time . Very disappointed in the service . Maybe put a sign up to say about food serviced at 12 but can pre order .

Day three of being open. Fabulous location and beautifully setup on the headland. Ample car parking and amazing fair priced menu. Lovely staff and table service a bonus. Locally caught crab and lobster features as well. Toilets and bar all in brand new accommodation. A much better proposition than many higher priced equivalents. They deserve todo well

We were pleasantly surprised to see a new food/drink establishment on the cliff top of Kimmerage Bay. As a group of 4 we had a variety of baguettes and the crayfish salad. All of which were excellent value for money. All freshly cooked and of a high quality. We all thoroughly enjoyed it. I predict if the high standards continue this will be a very successful business venture.
