The best restaurants in Preston Weymouth and Portland South West

Lovely place to eat. Friendly staff and very efficient. Food excellent and best flat white I have ever had. Very busy when we went but tables were clear and place very clean. There is also a toilet which is great for families.

The staff were absolutely amazing! Despite being understaffed on the day of our visit, they went above and beyond to help me and my father. We have been back since and will continue to go back due to the amazing food and service we received. The bubble and squeak is our favourite :-)! During good weather, the view is also amazing!! Would and do definitely recommend.

Pretty basic breakfast for the price, £9 for a small, egg was anaemic, probably caged hens, toast was cold and soggy, cheapest processed sausage which was not nice at all , on a plus, coffee was good and staff were pleasant but i wouldn’t have breakfast here again.

Our experience was shocking ...Arrived with our family just before 2pm. My husband checked that food was still being served and that we could be accommodated (5 people, including toddler, a baby and a dog). We all managed to disembark and with pushchair and dog on lead, entered the premises. Waited for a few minutes to see the barman who promptly informed us that service was now finished! It was 2.02pm! He repeated it without any apology or explanation other than referring to an earlier conversation with my husband advising him that we'd have a half hour wait (which we all agreed on). Honestly, we thought he was joking to begin with until he said "as I said service is finished". Couldn't believe what had occurred and had to leave to try and find elsewhere to eat. Turning away business these days is something that I find incredible especially as we were polite and had already checked when we parked. Won't be back!!

My daughter and I were having a day in Weymouth and planned to have fish and chips for lunch, the weather was so atrocious that we decided to visit Bowleze and The Beachside. We had visited previously and had good food. The Fish and Chips were fantastic! We had the special for two people which said it was for smaller appetites. I was expecting small portions, but no! It was more than enough, a decent sized piece of fish each and ample chips it also came with a roll and butter. It was delicious. Great value, friendly and prompt service. I will definitely visit again and recommend, especially for Fish and Chips!

Great ‘English’ beach cafe Decent food and drink offer and fantastic location.

Great fish and chips, good portion size.

We arrived just before 2pm'on spec' - five people in total (including a 3yr old), a baby, and a dog. My husband popped in initially to check availability and that food was still being served. He was told yes but that there would be a half hour wait as there was a large order prior to us. We discussed this before making a decision to get everyone out of the cars (huge palaver with pushchair, lead on dog etc). Having negotiated the puddles and finally entering the pub, we waited for a few minutes for someone to show us to our table. Eventually, a surely looking chap appeared and looked at us before stating that "service is now finished " before we even asked. We thought that he was joking. He wasn't! He stated that he'd clearly told my husband that we would have a half hour wait if we ordered now. My son tried to explain about the disembarking and how it had taken him a few minutes but the barman was adamant that service was finished (it was about 2.02 by now). No apology was offered and I would say without hesitation that he was rude. To turn business away especially as he saw that we had parked up and fully intended to eat and having spoken with my husband (also not alerting him that we needed to order prior to 2pm as this was the deadline, I find appalling. Impossible! My advice is give this place a wide berth! Just shocking!

Was clean and smelled fresh, everyone was having a good time around me lots of happy families and couples was lovely to see elderly folk having the best time. I had a child's cooked breakfast was just the right size for me and was delicious 😋

What a great hidden gem! Food is impeccable, lovely surroundings and staff are friendly and helpful. Thank you for 2 wonderful meals

We as a family of 8 went for a meal and had a few issues.A chicken burger was ordered and unfortunately the bacon on top was cold but I think that was because the bun on top was very cold for some reason. Also had a well done steak but it still had blood showing It was more like medium/rare. Apart from that it was fine. But we also noticed other food going back. It’s a shame as the service was A1.

I don't often post but that was awful, the southside burger was mush. Not sure if it was deep fried but it was disgusting. If you are there don't go for a burger unless you like a pattie like greecey baby food

Nice place. Great staff. Great prices

Worst chips ever. Think been reheated a few times and hard and tasteless. Fish not too bd but oozing with oi. When you cut into batter you could see the oil coming out. Will try Straceys next time

One of our top 3 roast dinners absolutely delicious. And staff are very welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend. We will be back with friends
