Rock Point Inn in West Dorset

St Austell Brewery, this is not one of your best examples. Service is hit and miss, at points, really not good. The front of house staff seemed more worried about getting their own dinner over the diners. Chefs up and down to the bar consistently. Food is average at best. Be careful what you order as they may just change some of the elements of the dish and hope you don't notice!

Last minute decision to visit Lyme Regis while staying in Exeter for the Build it Live exhibition. Weather was wet and miserable but we decided to go to Rock Point for dinner. Only had one table left which was a tall one with high chairs. Im not a fan of this arrangement as there is not much room on the table and my chair was on un uneven ground so it wobbled. Saying that when the food arrived _ although that took some time - the Fish and chips were lovely. Crispy and tasty so I would recommend the food as a decent pub meal. If the weather was nice there are tables with sea views and a terrace. Nice well stocked bar and it seems dogs are welcome.

First of all I would like to say the new look of the pub is lovely, however we were shocked at the drinks prices we were charged as of 22/09/24 one double gordons gin and slimline tonic and one double smirnoff vodka and slimline tonic a total of £26.70.I feel this is totally over the top and you really are not doing yourselves any favours in keeping people from travelling abroad. For short break holidays we all know the uk has seen a big decline this year in tourism and charging these sort of prices you really are not helping the situation when I politely queried the price the reply was "You are in a tourist seaside town" I was taken back at this remark in future we will have to avoid St Austell Brewery venues felt totally ripped off !!!!!

We visited the Rock Point Inn for a Sunday roast and could not have been more impressed! We were shown to a table facing the window overlooking the beautiful Lyme Bay. We both opted for the beef roast which was cooked to perfection and ordered a side of pigs in blankets which were crispy and delicious - the icing on the cake 👌🏻 the service was friendly and attentive throughout - Nathan in particular was brilliant. We will be back and would 100 percent recommend!

What a well run restaurant Staff were so kind and attentive to our every needs and even our little dog was given special attention The gentleman who greeted us ( maybe manager) was so friendly to us we had to stay for lunch and it did not disappoint Thank you team at Rock Point

Arrived late on Sunday evening but staff were accommodating and we managed to eat. So glad we did as food was great. It was a chilly evening but we still chose to eat outside as the sea view was great. We were also really blown away that staff lit fires and gave customers really snugly blankets. Made to feel so welcome, made our night! Look forward to eating there again on our next visit to Dorset and have already recommended it to several friends.

Nice restaurant with good food, friendly staff and indoor or outdoor seating with beautiful views of Lyme Regis Bay and the Cobb. The menu has a nice variety of pub foods and daily specials.

Popped in for an impromptu drink. Very friendly staff, ordered bar snack, chips and chorizo bites came up quick and hot and tasty. Saw food coming out all looked lovely and empty plates going back. Certainly recommend and we will be back for food.

We went for Sunday lunch after reading they did good veggie options, unfortunately they had run out by the time the very slow service got to us. This was the start of the summer season and the staff appeared stressed and the service was a little chaotic. We waited a very long time between courses (nearly an hour). However the manager realised things had not gone well without us saying anything, came over to apologise and took our drinks off the bill. This is a nice pub in a beautiful seafront spot. Very dog friendly and an interesting vegetarian menu ( just book an early sitting). Give it a try - All the bones of a good experience were there I just think they were having a bad day.

TASTELESS. That was one of the blandest meals my partner and I have eaten. I spent £70 on a meal that we had to get more salt and pepper for. Beers are good though,

Book! Very very busy. Lovely view of sea from our table and very friendly staff. Food was good - if you order steak frittes get it pink as the options were rare or well done. No in between! In reality we should have got it “pink” as a very thin cut and well done is more medium to well. It was decent pub grub at a good price with great staff so can’t complain

Great view, great food, helpful and friendly staff. Arriving in blustery conditions we were welcomed in to the warmth. Guided to sorting out the Parking App we needed for our car park 20metres away. Settled into generous servings of food. Climbed to the third floor for our sea view well fitted out bedroom with quality fittings and furnishing.

A very warm and friendly welcome. Nice menu, not huge but catered for all our needs. Food and Service were both very good. We felt that we were treated as valued customers. More than met our expectations and glad we chose this venue. Recommended !!!

Booked here for a big family meal. Haven't been for a long time as we came for meal shortly after the refurbishment and found the meal to be average, unfortunately over time it appears it hasn't changed. My starter of peppers was slightly under cooked and the £18.99 fish and chips was easily the smallest fish I've ever been served in a pub/restaurant and at that price it is probably the most expensive. The fish and chips were nice enough though. The same goes for other meals we ordered, nothing poor but nothing great either. It's a shame as it's a great location and could be so much better. Worth noting that the staff were all friendly and helpful.

Brilliant location and extremely welcoming staff. The food was very good and arrived quickly. The service was excellent and fast. Special thank you to Izzy and Andy, they looked after us so well. From check in to check out they were very helpful and provided us with everything we needed during our stay. Also the rooms were very clean and looked after well. The house keepers were lovely and did a fantastic job. Defiantly would return! 11/10 Thank you to the whole team!

Fantastic meal and service. We both had the Fish & Chip supper. Special mention to Kai and his staff who made us very feel very welcome and looked after us from our arrival until departure. Will definitely be going again when next in Lyme Regis.

Great staff, amazing view (arguable the best in town), lovely booze selection and impeccable food! Can’t reccommend enough ❤️

Stopped in for some ice cream, whilst mummy and daddy had a warm beverage. The best service and the ice cream was extra tasty. There was even colouring in for me to enjoy too.

Great time at the Rock with my friend, good drinks and staff were very hospitable. Kai and Mya were especially attentive. Great view of Lyme and in an excellent location.

Very warm and friendly pub, staff were very accommodating and made the experience lovely. Food was also superb, would definitely recommend.

Great all round pub. Alcoholic beverages, soft drinks or food. The staff are fantastic, friendly and welcoming to all. We had prime spot in front of the fire in an area suitable for dining but they did not mind we only wanted a stop for some drinks. Lovely attention to detail with drinks, offering straws etc. Small things which makes a big difference to feeling appreciated rather than just another number/customer.

Came before and it was really good ..this time i couldnt fault it at all .great experience..i will be visiting more .

Simply can’t fault it! The staff, the service, the room, the food. The Christmas menu was absolutely delicious! We were thoroughly spoiled and then there was our room! Room #7 is A-MAZ-ING! Almost too nice that it makes you not want to leave it, so you may need to plan for two nights at least - one to go out and one to stay in! Would highly recommend.

An amazing location on the south coast of Dorset. Great Christmas atmosphere and great drinks with friends. Would definitely recommend!!

There was Lovely staff and nice beers, Christmas tree was beautiful at Christmas time of December 2023

Just popped in for a drink. Warm welcome and pleasant team. I tried the Banshee beer, will certainly be returning for a meal in the future.

What can I say? St. Austell strikes again! It's so cosy in this pub! Beautiful Christmas decorations tastefully put up. Lovely candles and low lighting created such a nice vibe! Popped in for a quick drink before theatre trip and snuck in a quick pudding!...

Finally got a break from work and needed to catch up with friends. We decided to treat ourselves and go a little further than normal, it was a risk, but the Rockpoint delivered a reward that went above and beyond every single expectation we had....

lovely place for an evening meal, lovely food and ale, very welcoming - will definitely visit again. had booked but arrived early due to change of plans, were very happy to accommodate us.

We booked for Sunday lunch. My husband went straight for the roast beef. I was going to have a roast when I noticed all the fabulous starters. Neither of us wanted both a starter and main meal, so I asked the waiter if I could...

Loved the Sunday roast! The pork was amazing and the crackling perfect. The server was attentive and looked after us well, thanks Rock Point!

What a lovely spot for a drink in Lyme Regis! The view is amazing and the team were really helpful in choosing my drink with me. I’ll come back next time for a meal!

Absolutely lovely experience here, we dined here with our Grandchildren and were looked after superbly by Briony who understood all our needs and asked us if everyone was ok and if our food and drinks were ok too, the food was expertly cooked and presented...

Two adults, two dogs not booked for lunch on a very busy, rainy Sunday, so were very pleased to have the table of some no-shows. We both had beef roasts and everything was perfectly cooked. A lovely welcoming team who made a fuss of the...

Food was absolutely fantastic! Couldn’t fault it at all. Lots of flavour and lots of food! Will be back for sure

We went to Rockpoint for a Sunday lunch as a family. All 3 of us thoroughly enjoyed the food and the views out across the bay. We will definitely be returning there again.

A warm welcome, they found us a seat in the window overlooking the sea. Had the linguine special and it was delicious! Great choice of ales and team great with the dog too. Will definitely return and recommend.

Dan and his team go above and beyond to make sure you have the best hospitality experience at the Rock Point in the heart of Lyme Regis, we had both lunch and dinner here and we will certainly be back.

A modern large spacious room in a lovely old building. Comfy large bed. Spotlessly clean. Great breakfast. The location is wonderful, overlooking the sea but right in the centre of town. The manager was outstanding. The boiler had broken that day; they were awaiting a...

Excellent. Nice environment, nice beer and the best banana blossom ‘fish’ and chips we’ve ever had. We’ve had mixed experiences with banana blossom so weren’t sure whether to go with it and without exaggeration this was the best we’ve ever had. Top marks.

Lovely dog friendly pub! Make sure to visit every time we are in Lyme! Do a nice Korev - even Dobby the golden retriever thinks so!

Fantastic setting and great food. Very dog friendly Loved it. We booked for next night before we left

My friends and I had lunch followed by dinner the next day. The staff were extremely courteous, attentive and friendly. The food was excellent with a good selection.We were made to feel extremely welcome.

We had the vegan alternative to fish and chips which was banana blossom and chips. Really really delicious and a lovely atmosphere.

Great service, good food, beautiful view and kind doggy friendly, and human friendly, staff. Whether you are a big dog or small, bring your humans here, they'll love it. And you get a bone too.

We haven't eaten, but it's so beautiful. Place for a drink and lovely outdoor area overlooking the sea. Dog friendly. Draft beers and ciders from local breweries complete a picturesque setting. The food passing by looks amazingly tasty. They also have accommodation.

My wife and I both had the scampi, chips and peas for dinner. Scampi and peas appeared just to have been bought in frozen. Whilst they were OK, when eating out we prefer not to eat something we could just as well have done in...

Great position at the end of the high st next to the sea. The restaurant is cosy and charming and has a nice atmosphere. We were there on a Sunday and there is a special menu for Sundays. The roast dinner is good, my only...

Great service from a charismatic server (Jerobi) who impressed us at every step. Printed colouring for the little one even after they ran out. Food was great, very nice location, lively but not crowded.

After a lovely afternoon walking along the seafront we stumbled across this pub and made a last minute decision to come here for a family meal. The manager very kindly squeezed us in despite being very busy and fully booked for the evening. The four...

We visited for a Sunday lunch. The staff were friendly. The roast beef was delicious and was a huge portion, with a massive yorkie, parnip, roast potatoes and veg. A little more gravy would have been better though as it was slightly lacking. Starters were...

Having stayed at The Rock Point previously I knew their food was good, but we really wanted to try their Sunday roast. It was absolutely delicious. We had roast beef, and although it does say that it is served pink, ours wasn't, but was very...

Beautiful location with an amazing view of the sea and coast line. Excellent service, chef Tilly was very warm and welcoming. Food was excellent.

We didn’t think ahead and was struggling to find somewhere to eat on Saturday evening. We enquired if they had any space and was told they were full up but if we were happy with just a main meal they could fit us in straight...

We visited this restaurant on the Friday night of our stay in my Regis in June. It was slightly frustrating that after ordering, we were told that certain items were not available and that the specials that we were supplied for the evening when fact...

We had lovely food and service last year, so booked online for our first evening in Lyme. What a disappointing experience we had. I chose from the specials menu, but it was not available: so changed to Fish and Chips. For £18.00 I got what...

We booked a table of 6 online for 5:30pm after thinking the menu would suit all of our family. Little did we know when we ordered at least 60% of the menu was unavailable because “they’ve had a busy week” according to the manager. As...

Really lovely atmosphere on a chilly evening. Food very good, I had chicken and ham pie, which was delish. Husband ordered surf and turf, medium/well. His arrived with no surf and rare turf, but he's eaten most of it before he realised they'd forgotten the...
