The best restaurants in Bridport South and Bothenhampton West Dorset South West

What a joyful experience! Between 3 of us we had a large plate of seared, hand-dived scallops, fish tacos, and calamari. All utterly delicious, cooked to perfection and served with beautifully dressed fresh salads and really good fries. Fast and friendly service too. If you can, you should go there!

We were lucky enough to get a table for 4 at the HM Fish Supperclub. From the canopies to the dessert, every dish was a delight. Service was warm and friendly and the setting was very cosy and nicely lit. The cod cheeks, herb crusted fillet, the pea fritter, the curried sauce and juicy prawns. I’m not sure which was my favourite, as all so delicious, but I left fully satisfied with the 4 scrumptious courses.

Perfect date night spot. Had our meal on the picnic table under a peaceful tree. Delicious street food. Lovely hardworking owner. We’ll be back soon!

Excelente ubicación en el ayuntamiento en Bridport. Servido por una chica muy amable, que resultó el propietario. Los sándwiches y eran super parecía ella afirmaba que todos recién hechos esa misma mañana. No nos decepcionó! Absolutamente genial, con rellenos en forma a rebosar, mejor y el pan también! Estuvimos allí en un miércoles, que pasó a ser en un día de mercado, así trataron a algunos música en vivo folk que tenía nuestros pies golpeando como supped sino que nuestro café y. Para terminar había una tentadora variedad de tartas diferentes - de buena esponja Antiguo de Victoria a un suculento pastel húmeda y Apple. Mi compañero eligió el café de nogal. Todo bastante deliciosa, y me encantó la manera en que el propietario/camarera tuvo una palabra alegre para ella claramente los clientes (regulares y había muchos!) al tío en la mesa junto a la nuestra, fuera, cuando ella trajo el agua para su perro. Buen servicio, buena comida, y notable relación calidad-precio! Una visita obligada para los viajeros hambrientos.

We dined at their pop up in Lyme Regis on a Saturday night. Delightful take on tapas using fish and no meat. We really enjoyed all the dishes with the mackerel being the highlight for us. Looking forward to the next visit. Staff were all very personable and helpful without being intrusive, a fine balance to walk and they managed it well.

Lovely, knowledgeable staff and tasty ice cream. Recommended prepacked tub for coeliac as no chance of cross contamination. Our dogs really enjoyed the doggie ice cream too!

Had a seafood platter, outstanding fresh seafood. Enough for 3 of us excellent value will definitely be going back.

This is the first place in Dorset that has surpassed my expectations!! 10/10 for customer service & authenticity of the food! I have spent much of my life in India, & if you want real Indian food, with authentic flavour & spices, this is the place to come. Will definitely return!

Warned that with a 6pm sitting that we would need to be finished by 7.30. Arrived on time. Were slowed to be served. Found the portion size was very small for the price. Eaten here many times before and always been delighted. The cod this evening was particularly small for the £18 price tag. Cabbage side was £9….they serve ‘tapas’ style but their portion sizes have massively reduced. Madness. Due to the slowness of their service, our guest didn’t have much time to eat desert. Only one of us out of 4 had desert - the apple crumble - which was also disappointing. Warm - not hot, and crumble was terrible - a sprinkling if anything. Needed more for sure. You can’t call a crumble a crumble without the crumble!! The bill presented was £240 and on checking it, discovered they’d over charged us by £100. They also gave us the bill before the end of the meal stating that we had to leave by 7:30 - we didn’t HAVE to go anywhere, but they wanted up out for the next sitting. No apology given. Didn’t thank us for eating there, really sullen waitress. I was unimpressed!!

Fabulous evening from start to finish. Staff friendly and attentive. Steak cooked to perfection and lamb shanks generously sized and meaty. Potatoes and veg plentiful. The bread and butter pudding was the best I've ever had. Would highly recommend Seagulls.

Really great food and atmosphere, almost perfect - but being charged £5 for a slice of bread (was cut in half) did jar, come on you’re better than this!!

Lush Sunday roast with a good choice of meats & veg..save room for the puds too 😋 Great service!

Beautifully cooked cooked dress ingredients and a very warm atmosphere with really friendly service. Highly recommended!

We had some of the best fish and chips from S & E we've ever had when we stayed in West Bay 2 years ago, so were prepared to wait the 40 minutes it took to be served. We were unsure why it took so long: there were long periods when no-one moved at all. We wish we hadn't done so, as the chips were not nice to eat (they looked grey, were not crisp, and tasted "earthy") and the batter on the plaice was hard and very thick. The only good thing was the plaice itself. That's why I gave more than 1 star. Will we bother to queue again when there is so much competition within a few yards? Very unlikely.

Lovely fish and chips - we had the cod and it was very fresh! Batter was really good. Very friendly staff and nice atmosphere while waiting. Fairly easy to park.
