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 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.

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!

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!

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 👌

My wife and I enjoyed a beautiful lunch at this Dorset gem. Elevated pub cooking, with some lovely wines, and the staff couldn’t do enough for us - they were so friendly and welcoming. Beautiful views from the garden so arrive early before your meal to enjoy a drink overlooking the rolling countryside below.

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

Visited with the parents for a sunday roast. I had the pork whilst my parents had the beef. It was excellent. My dad couldn't eat it all so I had some of his beef which was the best I've had in a long time. We'll definitely be back and I'd recommended you to anyone.

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
