The best restaurants in Charmouth West Dorset South West

Just had the best street food I have ever had the curry and rice was amazing you can choose from a range of different curry’s and different heats The dad and daughter team that run this fantastic stall are so friendly that I can’t wait for next Saturday and apparently they are there at the Wednesday market as well

I was a regular visitor while taking my daughter to a lesson in Charmouth every Saturday morning for 6 months. I couldn't recommend this place highly enough.... Bacon roll on point and a nice pot of tea. Always the warmest of welcomes and a highlight of my week!

We had a lovely visit to the Royal Oak. The Seasiders and the Traditional ploughmans were both excellent. Fresh, tasty and generous portions of local food. Attentive barman - making sure we were happy 😃

We had very pleasant stay, very friendly staff and dedicated to provide best service. We’ll definitely visit again.

Great service nothing was to much trouble. Good choice of ales, the food was really good had the faggots and mash and the chicken burger would highly recommend. Great atmosphere and very good value. Food is 12 to 2 then 6 till 8 well worth a visit.

We called in here one evening as we were staying locally and fancied fish and chips. The food here is beautiful and we felt very reasonably priced given the ever increasing cost of food. They serve the usual suspects you’d expect to find at a chippy plus pizzas, hot dogs and a huge selection of ice creams and sundaes if you want dessert too. The other thing to mention is that this place is absolutely spotlessly clean. You can order using a self-serve kiosk like in a McDonalds or KFC, at the counter or via an app which made it really easy. We waited just 10 minutes or so for our food on a busy Friday heading into a bank holiday weekend. We drove down to the beach to eat our food and it was delicious. We both ate every morsel, no greasiness or horrible oily taste just beautiful fish and chips with salt and vinegar. If we’re in the area we’ll definitely be back!

An unbelievably poor chain of actions on the part of staff at this café, led me to write this review. I ordered chips from an unsmiling older lady, and was told to wait outside for my order to be called. After about five minutes I went back in to enquire from a young woman how long I my order might take. She told me she didn’t know and turned away from me. I went outside to wait some more. I returned to the same young woman to enquire again. This time, when she said she didn’t know, I asked her to check with someone. As a collective the staff concluded my order might be at a second window that nobody had previously mentioned. That’s where I found my food, left unattended. As I went to take it, there was another staff member complaining someone else had not picked up an order. I said that could be because customers weren’t being told where to collect from. The older lady became affronted and claimed she always told customers to collect from the second window. When I said she hadn’t told me, she contradicted me. So I took my food and left them to it. It would have stayed like that too, but that wasn’t the end. Halfway down my bag of chips I came upon an earwig-like insect. Either someone having a joke, or it crawled in while my food was left unattended at the window. I took the remains back to the café to show them, but didn’t wait for a reply, as didn’t expect anything polite or useful from them. And that is why I’m posting this tale here. Sorry no photo, I was too angry to remember to take one.

Great cheeseburger well cooked. Thanks Forgot to say, fantastic crispy chips too! All freshly cooked, wonderful!
