The best restaurants serving British food in Wool Purbeck South West

Somewhere mediocre atmosphere, limited menu, will look elsewhere next Tankfest.

OMG forgot how good this pub was - only came as I couldn’t be bothered to cook at home as it’s close by. Unbelievably good food excellent service excellent! Anyone in the area should come here!

Not the best experience we’ve ever had for sure. Booked a table for a Sunday Roast as we’d been turned away on Good Friday as they were fully booked. Our table was booked for 6pm & sadly by then they’d already run out of Roasts; so they obviously do a good trade or perhaps not enough prep, anyway we ordered from the varied menu & were looking forward to it. I’ll start with the positives, I had the locally made Faggots with Mash & Gravy which was great with lots of flavour, just a shame it came with what I guess is the left over veg from the Roast supplied as an accompaniment (Broccoli, Carrots & Cabbage (the latter being very stringy, almost a theme, you’ll see 😉). My wife had lamb chops which they kindly did with chips for her, sadly when they arrived (with the same left over roast veg side dish) they were very very small/thin lamb chops & it turned out one of them had string attached still, although I’m not sure why a lamb chop would have string on it 🤷‍♂️ We brought this to the attention of the waitress who wasn’t at all worried, good job it wasn’t my meal I’d have been insisting on sending it back, but she who must be obeyed didn’t want to make a fuss. I love me a good dessert & I had the Spotted Dick & Custard from the specials board, sadly it was just ok, I’m guessing homemade as what little fruit was in it had sunk to the bottom. All in all a bit of a disappointing experience & even though we get a discount because we were staying at Whitemead Caravan Park we will not be returning to the Ship Inn during future stays.
