The best restaurants in Purbeck South West

Great broccoli soup and scone and hot chocolate ❤️ my husband had a hot sandwich he loved as well - highly recommend in the MC 500 Scotland

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.

Great breakfast and friendly service. Full English was good. Eggs benedict really nicely presented. Coffees nice with option of mugs, which is nice.

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

just had to pop a review on here for our experiences at Old Harry’s bar. My parents and sister were visiting for the week and we were staying very near to this ‘hidden’ gem. From the very warm welcome, to the smell of pizza and a good G&T (or 2) we spent 2 lovey evenings playing cards, chatting and relaxing. My dad enjoyed his pint. Great ambience, music to listen to but still hold a conversation in the cosy but spacious bar we felt great. Highly recommend. What an asset to Studland village

The best pizza, the friendliest ever staff, perfect setting for the location, and….. long overdue in Swanage. We will return, regularly :)

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

Went to one of Christian’s tasting Tuesdays with my sister and didn’t know what to expect. He was testing a new menu and it did not disappoint! Fantastic quality of food paired with great conversation. A really special experience and would highly recommend to anybody with a love for food.

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.

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

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.

This bakery has changed hands and it is nice for the village that it didn't close. The shop looks very smart and the range of products are different. We were buying cakes & pasties for lunch for 7 people, so tooka little time choosing Hiwever the lady with the grey hair who served us wasn't very friendly, when we asked about a particular cake she said " I don't know I don't eat them'" A younger lady woth dark hair was bringing our some more cakes, she smiled & said Good morning and spoke about the cakes she had bought out - a credit to the shop.
