The best restaurants serving British food in West Dorset South West

Very good food and hospitality staff were very welcoming all round a great stop . Plentiful food menu had lots of choice and good selection at the bar.

Excellent local food and great service very knowledgable and friendly staff! A memorable experience and he paired wines were a great compliment to this vey English cuisine.

This lovely, welcoming vegetarian cafe is well worth a visit. A jewel in Beaminster and loved by locals and visitors alike. The four of us were warmly greeted and offered a good sized round table. The 10 year old with us declared the creamy scrambled egg on toast as the best they had ever had. Beautiful granary bread for the cheese & pickle sandwich and avocado bagels were delicious.

Great new owners, NOTE telephone number on trip advisor is for the old owner so please don’t call it.. Shop is based conveniently in the car park with easy access. Serving hot and cold snacks drinks and must have beach essentials. Enjoy a stroll down to the town or a stroll to the beach, great location for exploring the local area.

We visited in December whilst in the area. The best way to describe this place is average. The staff were friendly, but food did take a while to come. The food was okay, but didn't seem anything exceptional. For the quality of the food, I would have expected the prices to be a bit lower but I guess in current times that is tricky. One of the other customers there recommended the breakfasts but we weren't going to be in the area again so no chance to try.

Went to Hillside for afternoon tea with my two sisters. Absolutely delightful experience. Sat outside in the sunshine, peaceful, quiet with hostess Sue who was just lovely. All the food was delicious and homemade with refills on tea and coffee. Can't recommend Sue highly enough and will be going back again.

Well, what a lovely place! Recommended by a pal. Went for coffee and cake. This place is unique like going into yourGran’s front room. So cosy, friendly. Hand written bigmenu. Our cake was amazing, the waitress was lovely, friendly with humour. Wish that we lived closer. Great value. Many thanks

Manna Kitchen provide delicious breakfasts and teas for our guests staying here at Warmwell House for special events and weddings. Sally and Davy are great people to work with.

Welcomed with a cream tea and some chatter. Lovely room with large bed and shower. Great breakfast on request . Eggs.Yogurt.Serials. Full English if you want . Very central location.Sue and Nigel couldn't do more for us.

We dined at their pop up in Lyme Regis on a Saturday night. Delightful take on tapas using fish and no meat. We really enjoyed all the dishes with the mackerel being the highlight for us. Looking forward to the next visit. Staff were all very personable and helpful without being intrusive, a fine balance to walk and they managed it well.

Had two perfect kebabs from here on Saturday night 6 March . I had land doner and kofta , my wife had lamb doner and chicken shish . Definitely recommend and will definitely re-order👍👍

Nestled among the kiosks, restaurants and pubs this little gem is a must for ice cream lovers. Selling some of the nicest ice cream I have had - Marshfield Farm. I opted for a waffle cone with 2 scoops, mint choc chip and honeycomb. I even shared it with my husband who loves mint choc chip! Well worth a visit, just be wary of the seagulls!

This was a spontaneous lunch on a grey, wet, windy day. Decision made after a recommendation from Sam at Jurassic Coastal Meats. Thanks Sam… it was great! Looked after well by Mikey and an unnamed waitress. 2 course set menu for £22.95 or 3 courses for an additional £6. Whilst perusing the menu we were served bread with flavoured butter. I was offered the opportunity to taste several reds before settling for the Romanian Pinot noir, which was full bodied and fruity. My husband had an extensive choice of bottled ales from the local Puddle brewery. He chose the stout which was delicious and smooth. Not as heavy as some of the more familiar ones. After explaining about my allergy to chillies, the tuna starter was served with tomato chutney rather than the mango salsa. My husband had the soup. We arrived towards the end of service so the red mullet was sold out, but there was plenty remaining from which to choose. My husband had the ling ( similar to hake or cod) whilst I had the chicken. Husband found room for crumble whilst I could only manage a coffee. Excellent decaf with my preference of oat milk as the accompaniment. Everything was delicious. We will definitely be back, hopefully with friends… thank you to Leigh and your team.

What an excellent spot! Lovely staff, incredible food, and super prompt preparation. A trip to Lyme Regis is not complete without a meal and a coffee from here!

Really friendly and helpful staff, they really took good care of us and the kids. Excellent food at good prices too, I’d certainly highly recommend The Green Yard.
