The Old Watch House in West Dorset - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Ate here Friday evening three of us had wood fired pizzas which were delicious, pleasant staff as always. On the Saturday two of us visited for lunch. We had crab sandwiches with a mixed leaf salad, they were tasty enough but £11 seems too much...

Very welcoming, even when we arrived on a very wet day, with our very wet dog! Lovely cakes and pastries, and whilst we did not have a meal, the food looked appetising and a good selection.

As usual we were made welcome, the staff are always lovely. We arrived for a late breakfast, they serve it till 11.45, and we so enjoyed it. My husband can't eat eggs so they supplemented it at his request with more bacon, 6 slices of...

We went there specifically for the wood-fired oven pizza and were not disappointed. This is very much a café setting with seats both outside on the shingle beach and inside in what is basically a marquee. As the oven is in the same place it...

Awesome cream teas would advise to try ! Great service lovely clean cafe sat outside lovely views xx

Ate here a couple of times both were excellent. relaxed atmosphere, great staff and a wonderful setting. Thanks.

Popped in here after cliff rambling. The service was good, the staff very friendly. The food didn't all arrive at the same time, but we had been advised this was the case by the staff so not to bothered by it. The food was okay...

Would recommend to anyone seeking a meeting place for good coffee and excellent fresh menu but most importantly fantastic seaside location. Relaxed environment for families (and dogs) with a good selection of food and drink. Great fun any time of year.

High quality local produce is used, food is nicely presented and very tasty. This visit we enjoyed breakfast and a previous occasion we had an excellent lunch.

theese are the best pizzas in the area would go back to dorset just to get one and eating on the terrace with the sea views were amazing

Was a bit disappointed with the cafe this visit... very poor dozy disinterested service.. almost as if they were doing you a favour. Food was OK, nothing specialand they just did not go that extra step... half hearted apology for unavailable items...full of wasps .......

This West Bay cafe used to be a normal 'fry up'' cafe and was a lot cheaper then! The food is good, as is its sister place, Hive beach Cafe which overlooks the sea in nearby village of Burton Bradstock. But it is quite pricey...

Fab food in a great setting. It has a shabby chic feel to it, there is lots of seating both in and outdoors. Ideal for suny days at the beach or windy wet days to hide inside. Food tastes really good and locally sourced where...

The fish stew was amazing...I can't wait to go back!! It;s in a great position close to the beach. Very welcoming and very attentive staff. The menu is very extensive with lots of mouth-watering dishes. Great value.

We had lunch which was excellent. There was a choice of fish and other dishes, a reasonable wine list and the staff were excellent.

On a sunny day sitting outside with the sea and cliffs in view wow what's not to like. Lovely staff changing menu and a proper wood fired pizza oven. They even do a lunchtime pizza menu for us oldies which includes a delicious piece of cake for a reasonable cost, so suitable for all ages!

We had a very fine fishermans breakfast here. Thr food was excellent and good value for money. The place was full so it was diffi ult to get a table inside. Many people eat outside even on a cold day. Proof that the food is worth it.

We ate here twice and plan to do it again. We had wine, drinks and mezze and also coffee and freshly baked scones. The wine was nicely warmed and the service was friendly. The scones were genuinely the best I have tasted (and i have tasted many). Can't wait to go back and try our evening meal. Coffee perfect.

Loved this place so much, we ate here twice. Fabulous for fresh local seafood, served by friendly, enthusiastic young staff. Open Saturday night, but full when we were there. Booking essential! Great for families, singles, couples, friends, everyone! Dislikes: practically none, but families with young children can be a bit noisy, so don't go there in search of a quiet corner!

Sister restaurant of The Hive at Burton Bradstock.Ideally situated on the beach at Bridport, but due to huge shingle bank, sea views only available on raised outdoor seating area.We used it regularly during the day for excellent tea and coffee, with a wide choice available.Menu mainly fish based, we ate there once in the evening.Very acceptable meal, but quite expensive for what it is. Starters £7.50, mains £17.50.Staff excellent.Booking recommended for evening meals

Could easily be mistaken for the usual beachside cafe serving chips, chips, and more chips. But the food is really good, with an excellent selection of seafood and meat dishes with nicely presented salads, and if you must, chips. Excellent cakes too.
