The best restaurants serving British food in Swanage South Purbeck South West

Great breakfast with great friendly service. Good veggie options and tasty cakes. We got there at 10:30 on winters morning. Place filled up quickly so recommended booking if you plan to go any time later.

Bloody brilliant. Food and ambience superb. Service with a smile. Superb plaice and monkfish Thai curry. The desserts are all made by the chef. We had a pavlova but look forward to coming back for the chocolate torte. Very underrated restaurant of the highest echelon.

A really stunning area. The castle is beautiful and the eatery benefits from the most beautiful landscape views. The menu is good. The service is good. I do feel the dinners work out better value than the lunches (panninis etc), The lunches are very tasty but a tad expensive in relation to the cooked meals. Great it accepts dogs obviously. The stroll from car park is easy. Overall highly recommended for the views, ambience and good quality food.

They managed to fit us in without a booking and had a lovely meal, one fish and one steak. Delicious. We asked about booking for another evening but unfortunately they were closing that evening to retire!

Poor cooked breakfast. Despite asking for well done bacon and sausage it arrived undercooked, for me, with cold beans. Nice mug of tea and pleasant staff however much better breakfasts available elsewhere.

Had breakfast here twice. Very nice full English breakfast, very reasonable price and quick service. My review would have been excellent but the cafe seating area needs cleaning (dusty and dirty round the counter and skirting under the windows) and a small overcharge on the 2nd visit. With a bit of attention to the little details this place would be even better.

Used the butchers today for pork skewers and mutton cutlets , oh my they were delicious and a great price The crabs and fish also looked amazing , I shall get them on my next visit

We are regular visitors to the Seventh Wave restaurant. The food, large fish and chips was as good as ever. The fish was haddock in a lovely batters with good chips as well. The service was good and very friendly and the meals nice and hot. All in all the standard of this unpretentious restaurant remains very high. There are many restaurants that would do well to come here and see how it should be done. Another point is that they do not add a service charge on the bill. There is a tip jar on the counter and if you do come here then please consider using it.

Sorry about the toilet picture but it’s nice a clean ! i found the mini football absolutely hilarious and worth sharing, staff i found charming and atmosphere fantastic.

Excellent food, exactly what I wanted and more than I expected. Lovely staff and a great little pitstop, can’t recommend enough

This has to be the best restaurant in Swanage. There are no end of fish & chips and burger places in Swanage but if you want a high quality meal, home cooked with excellent ingredients and a feeling of ‘class’ then this is the place for you. The food is reasonably priced too and cook by the owner. Book a table to avoid disappointment and the house specialty is the local Purbeck pie. An absolute gem.

We had the lamb shank which was cooked to perfection. Amazing service and friendly staff, open fire, definitely recommend it.

We popped into Brook Tea rooms 15.04 with my husband daughter and grandsons, food was lovely children’s meals were good value full English breakfast lots of choice, coffee was delicious young man front of house had really good customer service skills well done ,views over bay were lovely and they also give Blue Light card discount,

We visited a couple of years ago and had the best burger we had ever eaten so when we arrived yesterday it was with intrepidation as we thought it would not be as good again. Menus change, as do staff, but we were so happy that it was as good as we remembered. The chips are so unusual but so delicious too. Huge thank you to all the staff.

Really not that great. Not the best menu in the world, and service was soooo slow. They need to decide if they are an eat in restaurant or a takeaway. Trying to be both does not work. I don't like eating in with wooden cutlery and if in a group, as we where, all eating separately as, even ordering one after the other, the service was so slow, no one ate together! The food was OK. We won't bother again.
