The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Swanage South Purbeck South West

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.

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.

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 👍

Delicious daily special of mussels, chorizo and tomatoes, my wife had a salad with burata, both were delicious

The food was decent and is recommended, very nice staff.

Lovely pub and friendly staff. Room is great for the price - powerful shower and comfy bed, perfect for a weary hiker over the South Coastal Path. Room renters also get a 10% discount in the main Red Lion pub which is great. Would stay here again!

Excellent Food & Service! Myself and three family members dined here on May 3rd, and each had 3 courses. Bruschetta, Prawn cocktails, Bread & Oil as starters and Pasta Ragu, Spaghetti al Pomodoro and 2 of the specials and Tiramisu for all of us. Every course was extremely tasteful, hot and served with minimal delay. The manager and front of house were very courteous, efficient and smart. We have eaten here 2 years ago and met by the same manager who is just great! service and food as good as before.

Great place for lunch or a stop off for a drink and cake... definitely recommend the Dirsrt Draught cider and the Dorset apple cake, warmed with ice cream

Went in for breakfast, and I had a very enjoyable breakfast, full English. My only comment was that the sausage was bland, but would definitely return.

After walking from the old harry rocks my friend and myself decided to go for a drink in Swanage. We stopped at the White Swan. I ordered a drink a pint of thatcher’s cider and a pint of calling £12.25 served by the gentleman on ordering another round an hour later the same round I was charged £10.85. I questioned this he had the audacity to say it was a custom and that because I ordered two drinks I got a discount what a copout because I pulled him up on it. He slammed out of the door. I couldn’t believe it. Even the bar staff looked round then on coming back down proceeded to give me dirty looks throughout very disappointing. I will not be visiting that pub again and I will let it known to people to check their bill.
