The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Purbeck South West

Really fantastic local community bar run by the local community. They hold a great Guinness and have fantastic stone baked pizza. I was invited to the new year event and was made to feel welcome constantly. Definitely a must visit.

Today....one of the best bacon baguettes ever!! Fresh baked baguette rammed overfull of quality bacon, nice people great location sat on the beach overlooking a sunny Swanage Bay, fantastic!!

Had to travel through an antique shop up flights of stairs but this gem was hidden at the top. Opposite harry ramsdens on the corner. It is easy to walk past. Gluten free coeliac friendly cakes - I had choc and banana and it was melt in the middle ecstasy. Could also have things like chips - we all know in the community how just a portion of safe chips is everything. Prices are so cheap too. They definitely underprice themselves I felt. Also knowledge of local area for great food options :)

We were recommended to visit here and are pleased that we were as the food and drink was excellent. The coffee house is tucked away in one of the many backstreets of Swanage and could be a little difficult to find, but persevere. It's worth it. some people could be put off with it being a vegetarian menu, but don't let that happen to you as the tastes provided in the meals are incredible.

Definitely agree with other reviews. The Sunday roast is awesome. Lovely meat (3 choices) and a huge amount of veg. I have never had such a range with a Sunday roast. Friendly local pub…recommended.

Perfect weather, company and lamb pie. Not too busy either!

We were recommended to come here, it’s small limited seating- we’re lucky to get a seat by the window. Good quality, freshly cooked, no nonsense breakfast. What’s not to like.

Was our favourite but changes are not for the better. I ended up with no meal because of mess up. Not good - would like conversation with management. I think there will be a downturn in custom starting with me!

We stayed in Swanage for three nights and visited the Black Swan on the first night there. It was so good we revisited on the final night of our stay. It is a popular venue so it is best to book ahead. Food selection, quality and presentation is excellent - delicious and beyond that you usually find in pubs! The staff were also very helpful and friendly.

I discovered this hidden gem last year when I travelled on the paddle steamer Waverley from Portsmouth to Swanage. The service and fare on offer were exceptional last year, so I sought it out again yesterday. To my delight, the same server, Megan, was still there and she greeted me with the warmth and friendliness I had experienced last year. She even remembered me which was heartwarming as I'd been there only once before and that a year ago. I can't recommend the establishment highly enough; the produce on offer is wonderful and if you are lucky enough to be served by the friendly and efficient Megan, you will have an experience to remember.

😄A lovely place really enjoyed the atmosphere great team, we went last year a few times. 🫤 M y wife likes Guinness it was ok but not the best she’s had but we know it takes a while to master the technique. We just wondered if anyone has had a Guinness there recently and what it was like. But we really like what they’ve done we will be back 👍

What a great find during our family weekend away (6 adults). Landlords and staff very friendly and helpful and the locals were also very friendly and chatty. The roast lunch was unanimously voted excellent and is probably one of the best I have had. Thanks to everyone in Wareham for a great weekend and we shall visit again.

A lovely spot with stunning views, and the cake is truly delightful. The garden and animals are a real treat—everything is well-maintained, clean, and inviting. The facilities are also spotless, which is always appreciated. The coffee, unfortunately, didn’t quite match the rest of the experience. It seemed to lack the depth and quality we’ve come to enjoy elsewhere, possibly due to the commercial beans, machine or preparation. It certainly did the job if you’re just after something hot, but there’s potential for so much more. Service was a little on the slow and impersonal side, which was surprising given the hospitality setting. That said, it’s a busy place, and with a few small changes—perhaps a focus on locally roasted specialty coffee, a skilled barista, and a bit more energy from the team—this spot could be absolutely exceptional. We’ll definitely visit again and look forward to seeing how it evolves!

Beautiful 2 course lunch with free entry to the park. The food was delicious and the service efficient and friendly. We love this place.

Amongst the masses of coffee shops it's hard to find the good ones. Carve obviously have a love for making great coffee and this was clear from the black filter I ordered when I stopped for a mid bike ride caffeine boost.
