The best restaurants in St. Martin Purbeck South West

I came here 9 months ago (May/june 2024) and I still think about this place. The food is amazing(!!!), the staff were so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful! Honestly, my favourite ever restaurant and I will be back whenever I'm next in Bournemouth. A++ Gold standard of quality food and great, friendly, fast service. If you are close by, hungry and in the mood for good food. Look no further. You will love it!

Nice pub with a decent range of choice of food. Friendly staff and really enjoyed the meal. 😊

Terrible Customer Service and other issues. Recently, I went to the 29029 for a meal out with my girlfriend. Having been to this restaurant numerous times before, I was expecting both excellent food and customer service. Unfortunately, this wasn’t the case. Upon our arrival, we sat down, ordered our drinks and then proceeded to select our starters and main courses. For my main course I ordered the Welsh Lamb Shank and my girlfriend ordered a vegetarian curry. When placing my order I stated to the waiter that I would like the “Welsh Lamb”. The waiter noted our orders WITHOUT double checking with us what exactly he had noted down which wasn’t great. Upon the arrival of our main courses, my order was wrong. Instead of the lamb shank I thought I ordered I was instead handed a completely different dish which contained some VERY SMALL lamb chops, potatoes and a coriander sauce. To say that I was disappointed would be an understatement. Realising there had been some miscommunication/they had got my order wrong I decided not to complain as I didn’t want to wait for the kitchen to prepare another meal whilst my girlfriend had her order on the table. So we proceeded to have our main courses. After finishing our main courses, we ordered some desserts. Our dessert’s were nice, however, the portion sizes were absurdly small, which fuelled more feelings of disappointment. Finally after finishing our desserts, it was time to pay the bill. After informing a member of staff that we would like to pay our bill we were left waiting at our table for 10/15 mins without a single member of staff coming over to us with our bill during that period of time. We tried to catch the eye of multiple members of staff to signal that we hadn’t had our bill brought over yet, but nobody acknowledged this at all. At one stage I even put my wallet out on the table to signal that we would like to pay and still no one came over. After waiting for a while longer we informed a member of staff again that we still hadn’t received our bill. After informing the staff member, a young waiter came over to the table with our bill. Before arriving to our table, he thew a scrunched up tissue on the floor and didn’t even bother to pick it up. Completely unprofessional. Upon leaving the restaurant, I felt deeply disappointed with the severe lack of customer service which we unfortunately encountered. It’s safe to say that I certainly will not be coming back here any time soon.

The best little coffee shop Wareham has to offer. Soup, panini, cake and so much more. You won’t be disappointed. My favourite is the broccoli and cheddar soup washed down with raspberry and white chocolate cheesecake.

I don't understand. Super-looking pub, great staff, nice food (even if menu is a little short on choices). But only open 3 nights a week? It deserves better!

A great traditional English pub that serves lovely homecooked food, we had the Gammon, eggs, and chunky chips, and it was absolutely delicious! The pub is very welcoming with friendly and attentive staff. There is plenty of outside space, so when spring arrives, I am sure it will be a lovely place to sit and enjoy good food and a couple of drinks. It's certainly a place we will return to when we are next in the area.

We were booked ( a very large family and friends group. Last year,We booked a variety of lodges, caravans and camping. This would have been for the last weekend of September 24. Today , we all got emails cancelling our bookings. Reason given : a Solitice event!!!! What appalling customer service. Offered vouchers for monies paid. Never will consider visiting a ParkDean resort .

As a coeliac I find it frustrating when there’s very limited on offer. Had a non gluten breakfast (no hash brown) another restaurant that finds it hard to swap something in ( I’d like someone to explain to me why this causes such an issue in the kitchen?) breakfast was tepid. I like my food hot. Same as the coffee, had to drink it before my food even arrived as it was lukewarm. Staff are lovey though. I know their hands are tied with these things. (Aside from temperature) just to add it was not busy whilst we were there so this was not a factor.
