The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Bridport South and Bothenhampton West Dorset South West

Went here May bank holiday weekend, Sunday afternoon with my partner's cousin. Had to book as it does get very busy. Nice cakes, place is also known for cream tea and savoury scones. Lots of tea choices. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Prices are not bad for a local busy area.

This is a lovely little restaurant, we have been many times over the years and it is consistently excellent. The crab soup needs a special mention as it is a favourite of mine. Always beautifully presented and plenty of seasonal vegetables. The specials are always worth a look. The staff are friendly and attentive. It is a little gem

They refuse to take card payments—not because they can’t, but because they’re pushing some smug anti-cashless ideology. Instead of focusing on decent food or customer service, they’ve decided their real mission is to lecture customers about how they think society should function. News flash: people don’t carry cash anymore. Going on the radio pushing your agenda isn't helping either. Your refusing to take card payments isn’t “principled,” it’s lazy, inconvenient, and frankly suspicious. Why you are reluctant to have customers pay directly into an account via card payments reeks of a setup that benefits the owner far more than the customer. A café’s job is to serve food and make things easy for customers—not to create unnecessary obstacles or force people to support some fringe ideology. I won’t be back. If you expect a modern, honest, customer-focused establishment you wont find it here.

The best hot chocolate in Bridport! Served with a hot toasted tea cake sat outside on a Saturday morning. Great place to watch the busy world of Bridport go by.

What a lovely setting to enjoy a spot of lunch with excellent service. The kids enjoyed sausage rolls and chocolate twists. My husband savoured every last bit of his traditional pasty. As a vegetarian i was looking for my fave, the Sweet Potato and Feta pasty, that I used to enjoy years ago when visiting Bath, Street, Tintagel, Padstow, Mevagissey, Fowey etc. However I found a new little gem, the Cauliflower pasty, my gosh it was EPIC! The service was so friendly and the tall gentleman (we didn't catch him name) talked us through our choices, there was sooooo much choice. He was very patient whilst the kids took their time deciding on food and drinks. We had a lovely morning in Westbay and it was made even more special by the customer service and delicious food we received. The coffee....AMAZING. I love Union coffee anyway but that barrista was a magician! Top notch, will be returning!

Lovely little place with a really friendly lady serving. So many ciders to choose from and also other drinks available if you're not a cider drinker. Was encouraged to try to ciders first which was great. Will definitely be back when we're in the area.

Once again (we’ve been here several times in recent years) the food was exceptionally good: piping hot, generous portions, and no holding back on the ingredients. We’ve tried most dishes on the menu and can honestly say that they are all excellent - as is the quality of the several varieties of homemade cake.

Had a great time performing at Pride Night here. Great atmosphere with friendly staff.

We ate lunch here on a cool January day, but it was nice and warm inside. I had what is probably the best egg mayo sandwich I have ever had; certainly in many years. It was fresh, and delicious! We will happily eat here again when in the area.

Fab sandwiches, quick and friendly staff. Bright and airy with some outdoor seating, so good all year round.

We had an excellent celebratory lunch. The staff were attentive, friendly and polite. Our meals were well presented and piping hot . The shell on prawns were the best I've had for ages. I'm not a chip fan but they were crisp and not greasy. Would highly recommend.

Lovely olde pub, flowers outside, front and in courtyard. Numerous attractive features, huge bar and so many hand-pumped beers. Super staff, Lucy (manager?) was outstandingly thoughtful, helpful and informative, an absolute STAR. Quick and efficient service. We were a family party of 10 for lunch. Fantastic Palmers Beers, of course. Although we were a happy, self-entertaining group, the Food was generally disappointing. My wife praised her battered fish, and superb crunchy-outside, soft-inside chips; another's Steak and Chips was cooked as she'd requested + 'lovely chips'. BUT. My 'Persian?' Chicken was a miserably small, monotonous and bland bowl of fawn lumps, bulked up by two large (and tasty) chunks of local bread. My companions who also ordered Persian? Chicken were similarly disappointed by the small sized portion and blandness! Understandably pubs need to make a profit on food, but Chicken is so inexpensive (try Googling: "5kg boneless chicken" it's around £35 from numerous butchers) and just a few vegetables would add colour and value. A shame! Sadly my pudding was the MOST disappointing I've experienced for years; creamy Bread-and-Butter pudding (£7.50) was a thin slice of thick custard or sauce on top of literally two 'fingers' or 'soldiers' of dry bread and sultanas. Shame on the cooks! The mini jug of cream ?50ml helped moisten it. But OH DEAR, please Google: Bread Pudding (it can be delicious and not expensive to make!). Might the kitchen focus on a shorter and more thoughtful, still profit-making, menu? Of course, we had a lovely family get-together; enhanced by the spacious and charming pub, the beer, the super staff and in particular by the energetic, charmingly thoughtful LUCY (what a Gem!) who raised my 3* to 4*.

Stopped here for Sunday lunch on a visit to West Bay, we had Roast Chicken and mussels, bath meals were very good. The Roast chicken came with plenty of vegetables and gravy, chicken was nice and moist, it was one of the nicest roasts I have had in a pub. My husband also recommends the mussels. If in West Bay again I would definitely visit again. Its a really nice welcoming pub inside

The young guy who served us was not very polite and Pasties looked good but I asked to have it heated for extra money and it totally ruined making the Pasty rubbery as I think was microwaved, overall would not recommend.

What a lovely experience. Joan and I with grandson Edward, down on the Jurassic Coast looking for fossils, successfully. The hotel was magnificent. Welcomed by a New Zealander, who couldn't do enough for us. Parking included, a bonus. The family room ultra comfortable. Dinner, choosing from the daily specials board, a revelation. The quality of the cooking, perfect. Breakfast can only be described by Edward, amazing. Fresh fruit with yoghurt, croissant, full English or other choice, fruit juice, tea,coffee or Edward's hot chocolate. Truly fantastic. All of the staff so attentive. Cannot say thank you enough.
