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.

Popped in for pizza. We ate out of the boxes however we had all what we needed. Serviettes, condiments, choice of drinks and ice creams. Not just a take away but a smart modern environment. Well kept and very clean. Defo will return as the Mac and cheese croquettes were a master piece of perfection. Well priced too!!

The cakes were (vegan) out of this world - so delicious. Some vegan cakes can be heavy, but the ones we had were perfect.

Quite simply our favourite place in Swanage to spend a few hours, watching the view , listening to the sea, creating memories and with Molly and her great team. The food and drink are first class and the atmosphere is unbearable

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 :)

Hidden away. Small pub with a large welcome. Very friendly locals and decent choice of bar drinks. Recommended!

We visited for lunch and had some lovely unique food and service. Tucked away in a corner of commercial road it is not obvious this is a restaurant/ cafe but it has generous and comfortable seating upstairs. Serving a some different dishes, we had the stroganoff with Cous Cous and the pickled Herring with homemade Sourdough and salad followed by baked cheesecake and coffee. All the dishes were very tasty with good sized portions at reasonable prices backed up by friendly helpful service. Highly recommended for a different and tasty lunch

We were recommended to come here, it’s small limited seating- we’re lucky to get a seat by the window. Good quality, freshly cooked, no nonsense breakfast. What’s not to like.

We stayed in Swanage for three nights and visited the Black Swan on the first night there. It was so good we revisited on the final night of our stay. It is a popular venue so it is best to book ahead. Food selection, quality and presentation is excellent - delicious and beyond that you usually find in pubs! The staff were also very helpful and friendly.

Great breakfast with great friendly service. Good veggie options and tasty cakes. We got there at 10:30 on winters morning. Place filled up quickly so recommended booking if you plan to go any time later.

Bloody brilliant. Food and ambience superb. Service with a smile. Superb plaice and monkfish Thai curry. The desserts are all made by the chef. We had a pavlova but look forward to coming back for the chocolate torte. Very underrated restaurant of the highest echelon.

Lovely café, serving very good restaurant-quality food. The people in the kitchen know what they're doing! One of our favourite places to eat in Swanage. Lunch is served 12pm until 3:30pm, can be worth eating a bit later to avoid the rush.

We are regular visitors to the Seventh Wave restaurant. The food, large fish and chips was as good as ever. The fish was haddock in a lovely batters with good chips as well. The service was good and very friendly and the meals nice and hot. All in all the standard of this unpretentious restaurant remains very high. There are many restaurants that would do well to come here and see how it should be done. Another point is that they do not add a service charge on the bill. There is a tip jar on the counter and if you do come here then please consider using it.
