The best restaurants in Beaminster West Dorset South West

I attended a workshop in Beaminster and at lunch time and although we were given many options for food outlets, me and 2 other participants decided on the Trading Post and I am so pleased we did. All 3 of us had soup and it possibly was the most delicious soup I have ever had the pleasure to taste. I would go back to Beaminster just to go to this cafe. It was an absolute joy from start to finish, the service, the food and the venue were all delightful. Thank you Trading post I will be back x

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.

We visited in December whilst in the area. The best way to describe this place is average. The staff were friendly, but food did take a while to come. The food was okay, but didn't seem anything exceptional. For the quality of the food, I would have expected the prices to be a bit lower but I guess in current times that is tricky. One of the other customers there recommended the breakfasts but we weren't going to be in the area again so no chance to try.

Ate lunch in the restaurant. Superb food, fast attentive service and very good value. Highly recommended

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!

Oh dear, we must have hit a bad day. We had chosen Brassica for a family get together lunch as we had read so many rave reviews. Three of us chose the pasta based autumn special, while the fourth wanted only a salad. The paste was very undercooked, and I do know the difference between al dente and being hardly able to get a fork into it and the whole dish tasting of raw flour. We pointed out the problem and the plates were returned to the kitchen. When they came back to the table the food was hotter but the pasta remained unchanged. One of the group was so hungry she ate it anyway, but the other two found it inedible. The salad was quite nice, but at £12 for a small bowl of dressed leaves with slices of orange and a few walnuts I thought it overpriced. The staff were very good and some money was taken off the bill for the uneaten food, but that was hardly the point, we had gone expecting a lovely lunch on one of the rare times we could all be together and instead left still hungry and deeply disappointed

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.

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 !!!

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 👌

Have been here for one night and we will come back. Arrived when the Rugby was on,so it was rather busy.BUT the service from being shown to our room to getting some food and drinks was first class. Everybody from front of house to the cleaning lady have been so friendly and helpful. We wish the owners and staff every success, you have been absolutely brilliant. Ten stars!!!!!!!

This place is bad! We ordered some naan and onion banjis to have with our curry and it was was like eating an over cooked American pancake ! The naan was so sweet I put it in the bin. The onion bajis were inedible! You need to find a better chef! Won’t be eating here ever again

Landlord can put on the charm when he wants but I saw him make other customers feel awkward. Not a people person ..just a weird person. I'm local and tried it although friends had forewarned me. He wasn't rude to my wife and I..but it made for an unpleasant atmosphere.

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.

Lovely service by very nice couple Hot Food Plenty of lovely chips medium portion Sausage cooked just right And Fish was both very delicious Would recommend Thankyou
