The best restaurants in Wareham Purbeck South West

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

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.

One of the best meals I've had in a very long time. All food was lovely and generous portions, the starters (cheese souffle and salt and pepper squid) were exceptional, and the tiramisu was the best I have ever had!! Friendly, efficient service and lovely relaxed setting with fab decor. Already looking at when we can come again! Thank you so much.

Lovely food. Dog friendly. Good price. No WiFi

We had Sunday lunch for my Father's 85th birthday. The staff were very attentive & kind, the food was delicious.

Brilliant every time, great sunday roasts and top notch staff!

Came here for a nice meal with friends. The friends were great... meal, not so much. We ordered the antipasti (£8.50) and requested that it was vegetarian plus the anchovies, expecting a range of tasty pickled vegetables for the vegetarian bit. We couldn't quite believe what was brought to the table. Yes a small bowl of anchovies, 6 slices of bread, a dish of butter... and 6 very ordinary pitted olives. When nothing else came, we queried it and was told 'no, that's it'. A complete joke, but at least the restaurant had the decency to reduce it to £5 when then bill came. The main courses were, at best, very ordinary. The pizza was doughy and chewy (ive had better from Dominoes), the pasta dish was achingly dull, and the salad (when the correct one was served at the second attempt) was thrown together with very average ingredients. I can only assume that the chef responsible for all the 5-star reviews was on a break, and replaced by someone who has never been to Italy. I eally don't like writing poor reviews, but then I also don't like going for a rare meal out with friends (normally super positive), and us all feeling let down. The waitress was lovely and did her best in a tricky situation... but the signs were there early that things weren't right, so the manager or chef should have come to the table.

We went to the Quay Inn with our two children and another family of 4 on a Friday evening. The food and atmosphere suited us perfectly and the staff were great! They were really friendly and accommodating (we were delayed by traffic getting there). Thanks so much!

OMG !! This is the centre of the great tasting foods of your deepest desires !!! We popped in here on Monday and fortunately have been back every day since !! The beef teriyaki is just wow, the pulled pork just delicious, but for us the show stopped is the Cottage Pie. Now before anyone turns off at this point, imagine your homemade attempt, where you stand back and pat yourself on the back….then try theirs !!! Worlds apart !! The flavour and mix is worth travelling just to try it ! Never tasted one this good ever and my Nan was a cook !! She would have been trying to get the recipe by any means possible. The staff and service is excellent and the veg and butchers is awesome. We will be back !! AND they do takeout !!! It gets better

Discovered The Bear when looking for venues to host a family birthday celebration. The Green Room made the perfect private event space for about 20 family and friends including children. The food was absolutely delicious and the team helpful throughout, from a call back to my email enquiry and planning a bespoke evening buffet menu to service on the night, and even sorting music for us. Massive thanks to Linda and team, we’ll be back!

Fab food for my sons party...at a great price. The staff couldn't do enough. Great location. There was enough food to feed hungry bellies and it was delivered hot and at the time requested. Well done!

Exceptional food and lovely service. We are both vegetarians and there’s a great range of options and it was all delicious. Highly recommend

Lovely visit for a drink, asked if we could have some cheesy chips, unfortunately not on a Sunday, but what about cauliflower cheese? Roast potatoes? Oh yes please! Omg absolutely amazing! Gravy too! Thank you so much Joe and team just what we wanted with our pints. Great customer service, happy smiling staff and great music too.

I was at a veterans breakfast meeting, great food and a good time had by all that attended.

Just had the best Coffee/Vanilla Milkshake. Custom made and definitely hit the spot. Service friendly, helpful and efficient. Thanks
