Crossways Fish Bar in West Dorset

We have visited the Abbey House a few years ago and drive especially with a detour to revisit. Since my wife uses a wheelchair I asked to be seated on the lawns just a few steps from the terrace to make an accessible place available (we had been seated there during our prvfious visit). The waiter answered: we only put tables there duiding a wedding. So no other option for us then just leave the place since which is NOT accesible for a wheelchair. We were very disappionted and felt unwelcomed.

Well, what a lovely place! Recommended by a pal. Went for coffee and cake. This place is unique like going into yourGran’s front room. So cosy, friendly. Hand written bigmenu. Our cake was amazing, the waitress was lovely, friendly with humour. Wish that we lived closer. Great value. Many thanks

This was a spontaneous lunch on a grey, wet, windy day. Decision made after a recommendation from Sam at Jurassic Coastal Meats. Thanks Sam… it was great! Looked after well by Mikey and an unnamed waitress. 2 course set menu for £22.95 or 3 courses for an additional £6. Whilst perusing the menu we were served bread with flavoured butter. I was offered the opportunity to taste several reds before settling for the Romanian Pinot noir, which was full bodied and fruity. My husband had an extensive choice of bottled ales from the local Puddle brewery. He chose the stout which was delicious and smooth. Not as heavy as some of the more familiar ones. After explaining about my allergy to chillies, the tuna starter was served with tomato chutney rather than the mango salsa. My husband had the soup. We arrived towards the end of service so the red mullet was sold out, but there was plenty remaining from which to choose. My husband had the ling ( similar to hake or cod) whilst I had the chicken. Husband found room for crumble whilst I could only manage a coffee. Excellent decaf with my preference of oat milk as the accompaniment. Everything was delicious. We will definitely be back, hopefully with friends… thank you to Leigh and your team.

Amazing staff - I met a lady called Julie, she was delightful. Such a friendly environment, thank you. Extremely clean and tidy, we only popped in for a coffee but couldn’t resist the home made cakes - delicious!

This is my local chippy and I am so happy it is ! These boys serve up the BEST fish and chips you’ll ever taste. Delicious, perfectly fried fish and chips with generous portions. Make sure you give them a visit !
