The best restaurants serving Default food in Chesil Bank West Dorset South West

We had a lovely lunch there. The decor is pretty the service friendly and the food very tasty. The drinks however were very expensive. £4.50 for a pot of tea and £4 for a coffee! The coffee was quite weak, which was a shame.

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.

What a fantastic place in beautiful Abbotsbury. We had visited the Tropical gardens near by and wanted to wander around the village. We found the Old School tea rooms which were just perfect. The welcome and service was exceptional from start to finish by a lovely husband and wife team. My wife and I had the savoury and sweet cream teas. They were both delicious in equal measure with plenty of cream and jam and cheese and pickle . The tea was strong and plentiful and I even through in a wonderfully spiced tea cake for good measure. Well with a visit when visiting the Jurassic Coast.

We have visited the Abbey House a few years ago and drive especially with a detour to revisit. Since my wife uses a wheelchair I asked to be seated on the lawns just a few steps from the terrace to make an accessible place available (we had been seated there during our prvfious visit). The waiter answered: we only put tables there duiding a wedding. So no other option for us then just leave the place since which is NOT accesible for a wheelchair. We were very disappionted and felt unwelcomed.

We popped in for breakfast as this cafe is open from very early (7:30am I believe) and received a very friendly welcome. We ordered bacon rolls which were huge and very tasty.

Great location for walks along the coast path

a great restaurant with phenomenal cuisine, the food is extremely tasty. Super friendly and attentive service. We had a really nice evening with a random band that was rehearsing, the music was great and a relaxing night in a nice room.

Beautiful location. The views from the Café seating area are outstanding. We even saw a circling Red Kite! The staff are only too happy to help and facilitate any dietary requirements. The cakes are amazing!!!!

Lovely setting, lovely staff. Homemade tomato soup was very peppery - so much so that I couldn’t taste the tomatoes. Bread roll was ok. Hubby had vegan pasty which he really enjoyed. Shared a fruit scone which was not nice. There was a hint of vanilla (unnecessary) and an underlying taste which was horrible. I couldn’t finish mine.

Went for a belated Mother’s Day gift over the Easter weekend for an afternoon tea with my son which has become a bit of a tradition . Of the past 4 venues tried this is definitely the most expensive and worse. Sandwiches which had clearly been made earlier and kept in the fridge making them dry. Poor quality fillings. Warm scones that had been pinged in the microwave and dry when ou came to eat them. Jam which was of a super saver quality and not a conserve which you would expect. Tasteless and no fruit pieces in it. Caramel tart had soft pastry. Coffee type eclair with a gloopy filling. To top it all a service charge was added which was not clearly pointed out. I felt sorry for my son who had organised this trip but the good thing is that I’m sure it won’t take much looking locally to find a better venue next year. Avoid unless you want to pay high prices for poor food. I would have been happier sitting on the beach eating a meal deal !

Wishing this pub all the best! Save the Elm Tree Inn!!

Staff were lovely, unfortunately the food did not live up to expectations.

Late afternoon lunch after visiting Abbotsbury swannery on a spring Sunday, lovely home cooked food and drinks. Super friendly and welcoming staff. It was a perfect day out

Had a lovely mug of tea and a delicious homemade Belgian white chocolate and marshmallow tiffin. The setting is very colonial ( is that word allowed). The staff seem tired.

Went there with my family for a drink and ordered fish and chips to be shared as we already had our lunch but still spent around 50 pound .we ask a rude lady for extra cutlery she very aggressive said that you are paying for 2 but feeding 4 mouth and I will have extra washing to do ...never heard anything like that. She even took our plates away while we were still eating avoid avoid avoid.
