The best restaurants in Loders West Dorset South West

My family and I visited the crown for a Sunday lunch while we were on holiday in West Bay. Right from the point of booking the table up until the food was served the whole experience was delightful. The landlady Karen was so helpful and friendly right from the get go. The food was of an excellent standard and all of the waiting staff couldn’t have done enough to help. They were extremely friendly and kind particularly to my daughter. we came from Bath to West Bay and this pub was only a matter of miles away. We also purchased some of Karin’s home-made pies to take away and they were absolutely beautiful. Quite frankly this is one of the best pubs I have ever been in overall for a meal. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this pub. Excellent value for money. Thank you, Karin, your husband (sorry was it David?and the waiting staff who were all outstanding. We had arrived a little late and the staff were completely understanding and couldn’t have done any more for us.

Very friendly village pub with good quality, reasonably priced food. Delicious homemade biscuits/chocolates with coffee. Welcome dogs even when wet. Highly recommend.

We enjoyed a lovely lunch here, sitting outside on the terrace with a superb view over the valley. The barman went the extra mile, so friendly and thoughtful and even giving us little chocolate bars with our post-lunch coffees 🤗. Fish and chips and veggie roast were well cooked, plentiful and tasty. We will be back!

Spent weekend here in our motorhome Friday and Saturday night, great food lovely atmosphere had Pizza Friday which was superb and chicken skewers on the Saturday with great live music in the garden. David and Louise are superb hosts and should be celebrated, coming back at the end of July

Evening meal at this great local pub. We felt very welcome. The menu was limited but of excellent quality. The menu is changed regularly. The beer was really good. Dog friendly. Definitely worth a visit.

Should've trusted our instincts and not returned but called in last week for a cold drink after walking into Bridport from Eype. Filthy tables (and toilets!) and full of the 'usual' very early morning drinkers! Lesson learnt!
