The best restaurants in West Purbeck Purbeck South West

Food was delicious, fresh and full of flavour Very lovely lady working there as well 🤗

We visited to celebrate my aunt's birthday and were thoroughly impressed. All three courses were delicious and our waiter was excellent and very friendly.

We booked as a walk in about 45 minutes before we required a table. Once we returned, Clare welcomed us and took us to our table. She immediately brought a bowl of water for our dog and took our orders. Food was really outstanding and the service Clare continued to provide throughout our visit was outstanding. The seafood linguine was excellent with well cooked ingredients brought together at exactly the right time. Our friend commented on the very good standard and quantity of the Hake he had

Popped in here whilst visited the cove for some fudge and to have a look at the “dolls house”. A very cool little house which they have turned into a shop.

Lovely English inn. Great atmosphere and location

Has gone down hill. Have been coming to the boat house for a couple of years so on my vist to Lulworth Cove on the 22nd April 25, thought a coffee and full English would be nice, how wrong could I be. The coffee was awful and the breakfast was worse, over cooked and very greasy. Felt very rough the drive back to Portland until I finally got ho e and we'll let's just say it didn't stay down. Sadly this will be my last vist.

Visited today for the first time to eat, only having visited prior to this for the garden centre years ago. Really enjoyed our meals of scampi and chips and quiche and chips. The chips are lovely and chunky, the little chopped salad lovely and crisp and tasty. Scampi very nice too. Had a try of hubbys quiche, which was very tasty too. Good sized cappuccino each too. The staff were really friendly and are a good team, who seemed to enjoy their work. We also used the farm shop for some treats, and the other shops for a new watering can, and a birthday card for our daughter. Will certainly return and hope to visit to do the walk round the grounds. All in all, a good few hours spent.

Staff had no understanding of allergies and service in general was extremely poor. We walked away before ordering as did those behind us in the queue who overheard the service we received.

Terrible and would not go back. Tables outside were not being wiped down or cleaned between customers and the plastic wicker chairs were all broken and horrible to sit on. All the food came out to find they forgot to put my food order through, so had to sit and wait and by the time it came out my husband and kids has finished. And when it did come out it was the biggest disappointment, DO NOT order the warm chicken and bacon salad with honey mustard dressing, it's basically a bowl or shredded iceberg with some sweetcorn and cherry tomatoes and a bit of onion thrown in and a measly few bits of chicken placed on top, with a pot of mayo in the middle, £14 for this is ridiculous. I must say though as don't like to be too critical on a small business, my husband said the crab burger was lovely. I am all for supporting small businesses but I would never return here.

Absolutely shocking dog feeces all over the garden horrible stench of dog urine up stairs in the bedrooms it's absolutely shocking AVOID AT ALL COSTS NOT WORTH THE MONEY

Me and my husband had a great stay at the Lulworth Cove Inn. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Especially Molly and Kylie. The food was excellent. Will go back again . For sure !!

Although most of the serving staff were lovely, one was a little unhappy when we asked for a water refill when they just wanted to take like dessert order. My wife's main arrived a good 5-10 minutes after everyone else's. As she was just having a starter as a main, it may have been nice to offer a free drink or something to make up for the mistake.

After a walk along the coastline we decided to grab a quick bite to eat before heading home. Just a few portions of chips and fish but can say they're the best chips I've had in a long time. Fluffy, crisp and piping hot. Didn't have to wait to long. Probably about five min, and cheaper than a cup of coffee.

Thought we'd give it a shot to have real seafood, not fish and chips. They do have real seafood, but a very limited menu, and the chef seems to be a bit afraid of spices and salt. Fairly bland food overall, though the balsamic reduction on the veg was nice. It didn't help that when we asked for salt (there was none on the table) it exploded on the side of my wife's plate. Luckily, most of the salt explosion stayed on the side, leaving just enough on the food to make it OK. I didn't argue the bill, but I also don't think I'd return.

Had the scampi and chip’s special was absolutely lovely and good value for money £12.95, staff were so friendly also, throughly recommend it.
