The best restaurants in Beaminster West Dorset South West

This lovely, welcoming vegetarian cafe is well worth a visit. A jewel in Beaminster and loved by locals and visitors alike. The four of us were warmly greeted and offered a good sized round table. The 10 year old with us declared the creamy scrambled egg on toast as the best they had ever had. Beautiful granary bread for the cheese & pickle sandwich and avocado bagels were delicious.

Great little restaurant with friendly staff. We just dropped in on the off chance and found this little gem of a place. Steak was tender and well cooked, we had with it a great bottle of Malbec at a really reasonable price. Will definitely be going back soon.

Great tasty late afternoon breakfast and toasted scones. Friendly service and ambience. The cafe is a family run business and is located off the main square in Beauminster so could easily be missed. It was a Monday and most of the cafes were closed and the few that were open had only cold food so it was great to find somewhere serving warm food. Look for the orange sign on the square or outside the cafe. The cafe has artwork and crafts on display as well as books and is light and bright.

What a delightful evening learning how to make a door wreath. A lovely welcome with snow suddenly falling over the entrance ! The wreath making demonstration was informal with everything supplied to make and design your own wreath after tucking into a scrummy snack menu and mulled wine finishing off the evening with a mince pie ! Just perfect !!!

Went for a Mexican and half price cocktails on a Wednesday evening. Mexican is cooked in a van in the car park, but served in the bar/conservatory - excellent food (real cutlery but takeaway boxes). Stayed for one night: very comfortable beds and well appointed room (room 8). Excellent breakfast including buffet with cereal, yoghurt, fresh fruit and berries, croissant. Also a good selection of al a carte cooked breakfast options. Bar staff in the evening and at breakfast were super friendly, efficient and helpful.

Back here after a few years & we were delighted to find it as wonderful as ever. Lovely service in a delightful setting, with excellent food & a good wine list. Absolutely faultless & we can’t wait to visit again!

End of an era. Ten years at the hub of the village. You have contributed so much to Stoke Abbott. Many of us have driven/walked to your pub with a guarantee of delicious food and the warmest welcome. We wish you well for your future.

A superb cafe with great food, we stopped on our way through & we weren't disappointed & would recommend & return. Coffee was great & we both had toasties, cheese /ham & goats cheese/red onion chutney, both delicious with coleslaw & side salad & the most delicious homemade salad dressing, I meant to ask what it was before I left but got distracted on the way out by the lovely shop at the front of the cafe! Highly recommend.

Stopped this afternoon for coffee and something to eat. Wonderful cafe. Staff are friendly and efficient with lots of humour which I really enjoyed. Would thoroughly recommend 👌

Lovely local pub. The food was traditional, good portion sizes and really tasty! Amazed at the prices of the food, really reasonable. Loads of different choices and good variety of ales,larger etc. Will definitely come back!

Lone diner staying in the area. My word what a find! Immaculate, tasteful, staff wonderful and food amazing. Thank you for looking after this lonely Welsh girl.

This is by far the worst Indian Meal I have ever had ! AND NOT CHEAP ! I ordered a takeaway meal consisting of Naan Bread, Chicken Shashlik, Chicken Madras, Rice and Sag Paneer + Onion Bahji. All dishes without exception were awful, too salty, un- spicy little chicken in the Madras, in the case of the Shashlik burnt ! Naan bread was like rubber and was thrown in the bin along with the over cooked inedible Bahji's, the Paneer was watery and tasteless with more Sag than Paneer. Two years ago we ordered our Christmas dinner from here and the food was delicious, and have been back several times. Although not as brilliant it was at least edible ! I understand there has been a recent change of " Ownership " ? The interior seemed run down and unkempt, dirty mirror and glasses behind the counter and dirty carpets. This place has certainly gone downhill very quickly, I will not be visiting again !!

Nice place , nice staff but the food let it down. Unfortunately I will not be going back to eat there again. Had to rush back home to avoid an accident ( if you know what I mean )

Been here a few times now, once in the summer at night, once for a late morning coffee and cake and yesterday for lunch. Each time we have been we have had a warm welcome. The food has been really good at really reasonable prices. Highly recommend.

Thought the women was very nice and the food was good. Chips could of been bigger for a large though. But overall really good
