The best restaurants serving Default food in Cam Vale West Dorset South West

A lovely country cafe and shop. Great coffee, lovely atmosphere and a real hub of the community. Stocks everything you need and more...

Sadly, this pub is no longer a traditional pub but more of a restaurant with prices to match (although dogs are welcome, one even sitting on a chair!) The fish and chips were so bad they had to be refunded—a ridiculously thick piece of haddock that was only just cooked in the middle, with dark, hard batter and soggy skin left on the fish (who wants to eat that?!). The plate was swimming in what they claimed was lemon oil, but it tasted like butter—as if fish and chips aren’t greasy enough already! The chips (or rather, potato wedges) were awful—thick-skinned, completely soggy, overcooked and nothing like proper chips. The rib-eye steak in a roll with the same wedges was equally disappointing, tough and underwhelming. The one saving grace was the warm and friendly welcome, and the owner was gracious enough to refund the barely eaten fish, but unfortunately, the food let the place down massively. Whatever happened to good old home-cooked pub food at reasonable prices? Such a shame.

Lovely rooms at cosy traditional village pub. First time visit passing through on my way West, impressed with my lovely room. Had a delicious dinner and VERY disappointed to be missing their Good Friday hog roast which was underway for their Friday night Easter weekend celebrations as I left! Live music regularly and a fantastic traditional skittle alley which is well used by several local teams! Lovely staff and couldn't have been made more welcome. 🙏🏻
