The best restaurants in Castle Purbeck South West

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.

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.

Much appreciated peaceful break for afternoon refreshments after a long walk on a sunny day. A tucked away gem on the edge of Studland. Great scones! Made us feel very welcome and a big thank you to the staff for putting us on the right foot path back to Swanage.

Superb food, excellent service, lovely ambience, a wonderful experience. The duck breast was exceptional, as was the chocolate cremeux.

Lovely location for a coffee after a walk to Old Harry Rocks

Lovely pub, perfect place to stop for lunch on our way home from Studland. Varied menu with lots of choice, staff were really friendly too. Dog friendly with a big garden.

Wonderful Sunday Roast, I had the pork which was lovely, my partner had the beef. Really tasty gravy! Perfect portion for me, but could of been more for others with bigger appetite (2 roast potato’s) Service was lovely and plenty of team about! Definitely one to go on the list

Excellent cream tea. Such delicious fruit scones, and great portions of jam and cream. Fairly priced - a lovely little cafe!

Played it the other day. Not sure how someone can say the course is immaculate as I found it rather tired looking with poor greens ( ok it is only mid April I know ) It is a fabulous course but the cutting back of the gorse and the cutting down of trees has left the course looking very untidy and in my view the overall course look has been ruined. Piles of soil and cut down trees/stumps all over the place. I'm sure the course playing conditions will improve greatly with a combination of some sunshine and rain but the site of so much debris left from the tree/gorse destruction will need to be removed and tidied up for me to return. Shame as it should be a gem !

Visited the bakery to get something for lunch while visiting Corfe Castle. So much to choose from including hot sausage rolls, pie's and pasties. Cakes all looked delicious and very reasonably priced. We bought a Pork Pie, 2 huge Cheese Straws, a Vienesse Finger, Cinnamon bun and an Eccles Cake and cost a shy over £7.....very good price. We thoroughly enjoyed everything....the pastry on the pork pie was crispy and very tasty. I wish I lived in Dorset near this bakery as I could visit regularly. Fabulous little village bakery with amazing home made goods.

Thank you so much for helping my disabled husband when he was there for a cup of tea. You were very kind and helpful. You went above and beyond what was expected for a cup of tea and a slice of cake. Perfect location to enjoy a cup of tea too, looking up at the castle in sheltered sunshine.

My wife and I had a lovely Sunday roast today and the food was great. Unfortunately this was somewhat spoiled by a couple on the adjacent table constantly moaning. Firstly accusing a member of staff being rude which was completely untrue, secondly complaining about the food. Nothing was good enough for this pair! I have to say that Gareth, Georgia and the other staff were extremely patient and not at all rude. We’ll certainly be back

Let me get my only real gripe out of the way right upfront. During my stay I had the Mangalitsa Pork and Vegetable Pie. It was the most bland - tasteless plate of food that I have ever eaten. Horrible. So, overall The Pig On The Beach is superbly located overlooking The Old Harry Rocks at Studland. Stunning. It is hard to find a less than enthusiastic team member. My room was very clean and I enjoyed my stay. Plenty of after dinner cosy corners for a drink although some people thought that bar prices were a little high! A good hotel.

This is the only café situated on the beachfront. They provide excellent coffee and a wide array of drinks. Next to the café, in the same building, there's a shop where you can buy various souvenirs like books, hats, and more. The café boasts a fantastic beach view and also includes restroom facilities.

Stunning location on South beach. Best bacon rolls around. Great coffee, lovely staff. Then at the end of the day a cup of tea watching the oyster catchers. A very special place
