The best restaurants in Purbeck South West

So lovely everyone was so welcoming and inclusive made us feel like part of the community. Food was very tasty the brownies are to die for proper chunks of chocolate and bought some artwork which is beautiful. If we loved locally we'd be there all the time. 100/10

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.

Wow. What an amazing breakfast, supremely tasty and phenomenal value for money. The staff were friendly and slickly efficient. We felt welcomed from crossing the threshold to settling the bill. Thank you to all the team. If you are in Wareham a visit to the garden gate will enhance your day. Not to be missed.

Today....one of the best bacon baguettes ever!! Fresh baked baguette rammed overfull of quality bacon, nice people great location sat on the beach overlooking a sunny Swanage Bay, fantastic!!

Took motorbike for MOT very friendly.Great cafe and received complimentary coffee.Check out Motorbikes nights Friday

We missed out on coming here in October due to it being so busy so this time we made sure we booked a table. It really didn’t disappoint . The pizza arrived quickly (you can see it being cooked). And it was so incredibly tasty. Definitely in top 3 of best pizza I’ve ever eaten!! The staff were incredible with our 2 year old daughter too. If you get the chance to come here then do it. You won’t regret it.

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.

A very enjoyable experience. Christian loves to cook interesting foods and flavours and loves to entertain his guests. Well thought out menu . Would definitely recommend.

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.

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.

Finally.. somewhere in Swanage with real taste! The Sandwich Shed is a hidden gem. Run by a lovely couple who have crafted a small and delicious menu, made up of gourmet sandwiches. All on homemade focaccia, my favourite was the BBQ beef brisket served with sauerkraut, smoked cheese, crispy onions and homemade black garlic sauce. Accompanied by some freshly cooked skinny fries and smoky “shed” slaw and a drink from the pub in which the SS is situated, there is nothing to fault. Would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys home cooked, quirky food.

Great spot for a drink after a day at the beach, fabulous views across the bay. Service is good and the prices are reasonable.

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 Thai Hut are usually at the market at Swanage every Friday although I get the impression they might have not been there for a while. They had not sold out of anything yet on this visit so I had the Penang Tofu Curry with Steamed Jasmine Rice. I think the curry might be a different recipe to the one I had here before but it was very good. The chef is friendly and provides a good service.

We love visiting Swanage and have found this gem of a place. We first went here in the summer and enjoyed fresh crab baguettes. The food is excellent with fresh produce and a great choice. This time we had granary baguettes freshly made with ham, salad and chutney. They were delicious. The owners are very friendly too. We will definitely be back for more. If you fancy something different from pasties or fish and chips then the Purbeck deli is the place to go.
