The best restaurants serving British food in Castle Purbeck South West

Sadly no longer in business, as it was a favourite of ours, doing g lovely food and coffee, with lovely staff, in a beautiful location. Corfe has lost a major attraction.

Located in the farm buildings and courtyard this cafe has a great country vibe. The cafe has a good selection of home made cakes which are excellent. Usual tea, coffee, etc drink options. And there's cream teas with locally sourced clotted cream. Lovely friendly service

Called for lunch and had the most delicious food. Extremely friendly, welcoming staff. Beautifully presented hotel.

Good food, reasonably priced, and served with a smile. Much better than you might expect if you only judge it from the outside 🙂. Same again in 2022 and again in 2023, we've been numerous times and it's been good every time - many thanks. We came back again in July - service was slow, but the steaks were good, although one of us was served rather few fries (also, the chocolate brownie was rather small especially when compared with the sticky toffee pudding). Our first visit in 2025 yielded three very good steaks, long may Thursday's steak night continue 🤞 A pity that the desserts are still rather small.

Excellent cream tea. Such delicious fruit scones, and great portions of jam and cream. Fairly priced - a lovely little cafe!

Thank you so much for helping my disabled husband when he was there for a cup of tea. You were very kind and helpful. You went above and beyond what was expected for a cup of tea and a slice of cake. Perfect location to enjoy a cup of tea too, looking up at the castle in sheltered sunshine.

We went in one evening for a drink and liked the place so booked for Sunday lunch at 6 pm the following day for our thirtieth anniversary, we were told this was fine. We arrived on time and a very pleasant young man took our order straightaway the food arrived five minutes later it seemed like they were in a rush we were the only diners in there, to be honest the beef was plentiful but tasteless and that was because it was far to thin like it had come from a packet and the roast potatoes undercooked, ( not a moaner check my other reviews by the way). for the not inconsiderable cost. Finishing this we were told if we wanted a dessert we’d need to order it immediately as chef wanted to pack up, I didn’t really want my dessert right on top of a big meal like that but didn’t want to cause a fuss so we did. Dessert was very nice but the rush spoilt our special meal and at £102 I expected better, if 6 pm is too late they shouldn’t have taken our order , would I go back ?, sadly not, shame as it seemed a. Nice place.several other couples were turned away while we were in there being told food was finished, clearly our reservation shouldn’t have been taken in’t first place

Stunning location on South beach. Best bacon rolls around. Great coffee, lovely staff. Then at the end of the day a cup of tea watching the oyster catchers. A very special place

Lovely friendly pub, staff are always helpful and welcoming, the food is good and they offer a range of entertainment over the weekend and regular quiz nights etc during the week.

Coming to corfe for 40 years. Little fox inn but best eatery in the village with great staff. Waiting to pay tonight 26/4 and heard a couple complain about food (probably trying to get a discount and he said he has been a chef for 4 years) I have been a head chef for 42 years and catering manager and totally disagree with their comments! What a pub the fox in is - fantastic place to eat and highly recommended it 😁

After a friendly reception by both staff and locals we were able to enjoy the best Sunday lunch we have had for a while and, maybe, ever had. Well cooked, plentiful and good value are all you can ask for and both of our meals provided all of these criteria. We were in Corfe for a weeks holiday and called in for a cheeky pint on the way home most evenings. Drinks to suit everyone's taste, but for me the Palmer 200 was the winner. Breakfast before we began our journey home was also good value and set us up for the day. Overall, give them a visit as we are sure you will not be disappointed.

Mother’s Day menu was amazing and good value. Property has lots of character, amazing location. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Some of our diners were over 44minutes late due to ferry traffic and nothing was too much trouble for them. Large restaurant and good acoustics so you don’t feel too crowded or have to shout to be heard.

Poor quality food. Chips were overcooked and not very tasty. I tasted haddock which was ok. Fish cake was completely tasteless no fish in it just potato covered in batter. I’m at loss how restaurants can serve such poor quality food and think they can get away with it.
