The best restaurants in Purbeck South West

So lovely everyone was so welcoming and inclusive made us feel like part of the community. Food was very tasty the brownies are to die for proper chunks of chocolate and bought some artwork which is beautiful. If we loved locally we'd be there all the time. 100/10

Sadly no longer in business, as it was a favourite of ours, doing g lovely food and coffee, with lovely staff, in a beautiful location. Corfe has lost a major attraction.

Visited with friends a few times now. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, and the food is amazing. There are lots of great choices, but I personally recommend the quiche, which is made on site and comes with new potatoes and salad (complete with homemade coleslaw). They have a good range of homemade cakes and scones on offer too (including gluten free options - ideal for my particular group of friends due to intolences) Their cream teas, in particular, are very generous and beautifully presented. My friend particularly enjoys the tea there, which is served in proper tea pots and loose leaf. I'm more of a coffee drinker and always enjoyed the coffee here.

Today....one of the best bacon baguettes ever!! Fresh baked baguette rammed overfull of quality bacon, nice people great location sat on the beach overlooking a sunny Swanage Bay, fantastic!!

Took motorbike for MOT very friendly.Great cafe and received complimentary coffee.Check out Motorbikes nights Friday

We missed out on coming here in October due to it being so busy so this time we made sure we booked a table. It really didn’t disappoint . The pizza arrived quickly (you can see it being cooked). And it was so incredibly tasty. Definitely in top 3 of best pizza I’ve ever eaten!! The staff were incredible with our 2 year old daughter too. If you get the chance to come here then do it. You won’t regret it.

Really fantastic local community bar run by the local community. They hold a great Guinness and have fantastic stone baked pizza. I was invited to the new year event and was made to feel welcome constantly. Definitely a must visit.

A very enjoyable experience. Christian loves to cook interesting foods and flavours and loves to entertain his guests. Well thought out menu . Would definitely recommend.

Great place with amazing staff - one of our favourite places in Swanage. Lovely food & drinks with the best view. Would highly recommend.

Had to travel through an antique shop up flights of stairs but this gem was hidden at the top. Opposite harry ramsdens on the corner. It is easy to walk past. Gluten free coeliac friendly cakes - I had choc and banana and it was melt in the middle ecstasy. Could also have things like chips - we all know in the community how just a portion of safe chips is everything. Prices are so cheap too. They definitely underprice themselves I felt. Also knowledge of local area for great food options :)

I visited the legion with my nan,sister and daughter. We each had a starter and main meal. My daughter had battered cod and chips, which she throughly enjoyed. The food was very nice and presented well. Waitress was very friendly and helpful 💞 thank you for a lovely evening. Glad we booked it.

A very small intimate restaurant offering excellent service and food. Interesting tapas full of strong flavours all perfectly cooked. Thank you for giving us a lovely evening.

Finally.. somewhere in Swanage with real taste! The Sandwich Shed is a hidden gem. Run by a lovely couple who have crafted a small and delicious menu, made up of gourmet sandwiches. All on homemade focaccia, my favourite was the BBQ beef brisket served with sauerkraut, smoked cheese, crispy onions and homemade black garlic sauce. Accompanied by some freshly cooked skinny fries and smoky “shed” slaw and a drink from the pub in which the SS is situated, there is nothing to fault. Would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys home cooked, quirky food.

Great spot for a drink after a day at the beach, fabulous views across the bay. Service is good and the prices are reasonable.

We bought two slices of gorgeous cake here, a Dorset apple cake and a toffee fudge, both were really delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed them! We were disappointed that it wasn’t the lovely man who served us the last time we were in Wool as he was so friendly and helpful! Would definitely recommend
