The best restaurants in Chideock and Symondsbury West Dorset South West

Stayed here in August 23. Lovely accommodation, spacious and clean. Vikki and Martin are both very helpful. Really relaxed atmosphere. The children loved playing in the games room and the communal garden. We might even come back for another visit. Would highly recommend this accommodation.

Enjoyed a fabulous Sunday lunch in the rear beer garden of the Ilchester Arms today. We all tried a different roast; I had the nut roast, lovely big slice of homemade nut roast. The pork was thickly cut and served with crunchy crackling, the turkey was moist and plentiful and the beef tender. Hubby would have preferred it a little pinker but still said it was delicious. All were served with crispy roast potatoes, carrots and parsnips alongside a side dish of cauliflower, broccoli, runner beans (possibly home grown) and cabbage. Lovely choice of desserts - a range of ice creams, my husband enjoyed the knickerbocker glory, I ordered the decadent brownie. Service was efficient and quick, beer garden lovely in the sunshine

The best garden cafe in the area. Always a delight to visit. Had a splendid Mothers Day lunch-such tasty food and good service. Will be back soon!

Best chips ever. Small battered sausage and chips £4.50 - absolutely delicious Small fish and chips £5.50 - absolutely delicious Lovely friendly staff

Such a delightfully quirky and unique little spot, with treasures everywhere you look! We came for breakfast and the quality of food (we had 2 vegan sausage sandwiches) was so wholesome and it was so refreshing for it all to be veggie and vegan. 100% recommend this adorable little cafe to anyone visiting the area, especially if you also love plants, gardening and vintage treasure troves 👌

After a walk from Charmouth over Golden Cap, this pub was very welcome for a delicious lunch and excellent views. Choice of beer and cider was good too. The crab brioche was delicious and the chips were perfect.

Came for lunch with the family, and the food was incredible. You can tell the ingredients are fresh and a lot of effort is put into each dish. The girls on shift were extremely welcoming and attentive, which made our experience 10 x better. Will definitely be back!

Fantastic Village pub. The staff are so friendly. The perfect place to go after a long walk! The bar food is lovely & they have a Special ‘s Board too.

Wonderful Sunday lunch. Nothing overcooked. So many tasty vegetables to go with the roast. Excellent home cooked desserts

Interesting farm shop to browse with some lovely products. Cafe excellent and well priced. Badly let down by the portaloo toilets which are never pleasant at the best of times but on this occasion were completely disgusting. Sort the toilets and would be 5 star.

Beautiful location with fantastic views, sadly food and service let them down. Definitely over priced for what was produced. Not family oriented in the slightest, no kids menu at all. No atmosphere, unexperienced team with no etiquette.just wasnt worth the money at all.The food was terrible, bread was stale oh my , I could go on just don't waste your time.

Had dinner with 3 friends - one of the best meals I’ve had recently. Excellent service too. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

This was my £14 falafel salad. Chef you should be ashamed of yourself. This was the cheapest bagged lettuce accompanied by 5 burned falafels. I sent it back saying they were burnt as they tasted burnt and looked burnt. You returned them to me saying that's how they should look. Owners please please employ a chef who has some pride in the food they are sending out, and respect for your customers. Look at this plate of food for £14, it is dreadful.
