The best restaurants serving British food in Wareham Purbeck South West

My Spouse and I popped into this Wareham establishment for lunch. I had an absolutely delicious tomato and pesto quiche, whilst my other half opted for the scrumptious Dorset apple cake and clotted cream. Lovely ambience and friendly, welcoming service too.

One of the best meals I've had in a very long time. All food was lovely and generous portions, the starters (cheese souffle and salt and pepper squid) were exceptional, and the tiramisu was the best I have ever had!! Friendly, efficient service and lovely relaxed setting with fab decor. Already looking at when we can come again! Thank you so much.

I was part of a very large pre booked running group- we were all very hungry upon arrival! We were catered for superbly with a number of delicious breakfasts, coffees and drinks brought to us promptly. The food looked and tasted lovely; the atmosphere perfect for a Christmas social and then there were the cakes! Wow! Despite feeling full, a number of us bought the delicious cake on offer which was kindly packaged up in a take-away box for later by the staff- a wonderful morning had by all.

We always like to support local community groups and after walking round Wareham, i walk with a stroller and found the cafes either full or with steps so not to good for me, just as we were about to give up, i spotted the local church community cafe, where a lady showed me a lift to get in. Me and my wife both had a ploughmans whilst my son with autism had 2 pieces of homemade cake. Everyone was very friendly and if in Wareham again will definitely pop in

We regularly visit The Salt Pig in Wareham as it's simply the best in town. Perfect for Breakfast, Lunch or just coffee and cake. All the food is locally sourced which is very important to us. All the staff are really friendly and extremely hard working. The food is always delicious and fresh and what about the Sunday Roasts...Woweee!! Just theeeee best. I can probably say it's the best eat out roast I've had, hand down!! We love it here. Ps we buy all our locally sourced meat from the in house butcher as well. Superb!!!

Just had the best Coffee/Vanilla Milkshake. Custom made and definitely hit the spot. Service friendly, helpful and efficient. Thanks

After a terrible meal in another Wareham restaurant the night before, we were simply hoping for half decent food but this was much better than that! Sweet Potato soup with sourdough bread followed by local ham, egg and chips for me - huge portions and very tasty indeed. My husband’s choices were Thai Fish Cakes followed by Mushroom and Brie Wellington. All delicious and very good service too! Would recommend.

I went to this beautiful spot with my mum on a lovely spring day. The view down to the river from the terrace is stunning, and is very tranquil. The food surpassed my (and mum's) expectations. I had a lovely fish soup, and sea bream, with vegetable tagliatelle, saffron potatoes and pea veloute. Mum had wasabi cured trout with dorset crab, followed by dover sole (with more crab!), the latter of which she said was one of the best dishes that she has ever had, and she's been fortunate enough to eat in a fair few top restaurants. When it came to dessert, I ordered the cheese and rather than bring the cheese trolley out onto the terrace they gave me small pieces of all eight cheeses. Which worked for them, as the table behind us promptly ordered the cheese. Cris and Ajay were attentive, (without being all over you) and genuinely wanted you to enjoy yourselves. All in all an experience I intend to repeat.

Very nice enjoyable laid back eatery, in a atmospheric C15th (?) restaurant with tudor style wooden decor. We liked the desserts, particularly the "Dutch" apple pie, with local dairy cream. Very relaxed place, very Wareham!

It's not bad at all, great location, very pleasant Sunday roast served by very friendly staff

Ordered the burger and lamb. Had water jug at the table with glasses with ice cubes. There was a fly in the ice. My burger was overcooked so sent it back. I then ordered the fish and chips. The left bit of the fish was fine but the right side was bony and hard. I sent that back and the waitress seemed annoyed. I heard her saying "she has sent this back as well". She said she would get the manager. She eventually returned saying that she had taken my fish off the bill. I went up to pay and the chef was there. He made me feel decidedly uncomfortable. Very unprofessional. I then heard her say as I was leaving "I did not put the service charge on the bill".
