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 !!!

Stayed here for 2 nights at the beginning of April 25. Had dinner here and the food was great, but it was a very rushed service - very small space between courses; it almost felt like they wanted us through and out so they could re-sit the table. We wanted to savour and enjoy the food (which, to be fair, was good, if a bit over-seasoned) but it was all too rushed to be relaxing. The room was great though - clean and one of the more spacious 'pub' style rooms I've been in - and the staff/service were excellent. Slow down my friday evening dinner, let me relax and enjoy it and you'd have got 5 stars!

A lot to like about Brassica. We’ve been several times - lunch and dinner, with friends and as a couple. The food is always good, although menu is small and may feel limited (quality v quantity). The decor / ambience is absolutely lovely. Generally very friendly. Overall, a local gem and, if you like rustic Mediterranean food, it’s well worth making a visit, especially if you’re in the area.

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.

Lean bacon encased in a sandwich of brown Evershot Bakery makes for a very palatable brunch. Set in charming and very clean surroundings and looked after by very friendly and hospitable serving folk.

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!

Popped in for an impromptu dinner, excellent service, beautiful location, plenty of parking, nice, friendly welcome and food very, very good pub food, just as it used to be, well priced, great presentation and good flavours.

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 !!

Can't recommend this pub enough. Great garden dog friendly good value 👌 and excellent steak chips mushrooms tomatoes .goid value for money .and a. beautiful art gallery .where you can purchase local art .wooden sculptures of fossils schools of fish .very pleasedwith our art purchases .meal would definetly visit again .

Seemed like a good idea to hold an evening surprise for my wife in our local. I started as a meal for family and a simple birthday cake !! we ended up with a full blown do with ballons, place names (mini penguins) and a rather large cake in the shape of a penguin (we ended up sharing the cake with the whole pub and still took some home). fortunatley a member of the pubs familly is a professional cake maker (thanks Kay).

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