The best restaurants serving Seafood food in Purbeck South West

Great place with amazing staff - one of our favourite places in Swanage. Lovely food & drinks with the best view. Would highly recommend.

Pier Head is a real ‘find’ restaurant in Swanage. Lovely fresh food menu, beautiful location, great husband and wife team patrons, super chef, nice staff … 🐠

We had initially planned to lunch at Lulworth Cove, but the crowds and hefty parking charges put us off. Very glad about the change of plans. Had a nice lunch and sat for a while enjoying the lovely views and the smaller crowds. Mobility issues stopped us from venturing down to the beach, but it looked lovely. If you are looking for a more peaceful setting, this should be on your list.

We had fishcakes and chips after reading the reviews. Really good fishcakes with a crispy coating and plenty of fish in them and the chips were cooked exactly as I like them light and crispy (possibly the best takeaway chips I've ever had). Will probably visit Swanage again just for this chip shop. The tourist board should be paying their council tax as there wasn't much else to shout about.

Incredible food at an unbeatable price, from burgers and sausages to fish and chips, everything is fantastic! They even offer a footlong sausage. Among all the takeaways in the area, this one stands out as the most affordable and offers the best value for your money.

Ollie was so welcoming and truly amazing with patience’s care and fulfilled every request, wife was over the moon, we will be back, great food.👍

Classic cod, chips & mushy peas, prompt, friendly service, polite thanks/goodbye.

Wow. I had lunch there today with 2 friends and then returned with my daughter for dinner. It was amazing both times!!! ( not good for my diet). The service was great. Lovely, polite attentive staff. The food was great quality and beautifully cooked. The best bread! The view is out of this world and I felt as though I could be in a place say in Barbados 😂 I go to a lot of good restaurants and this is up there with the best. Tables not too close to each other and each has a great view of the sea. I cannot wait to return sometime.

The Fish and chips were excellent all cooked fresh. The portion of chips was huge. Highly recommend. A free sausage for our dog was a bonus.

I clearly ordered Cod and Chips and a child’s battered sausage and chips , waited ages due to this crazy system where you ask one person who rights it down then posts it on the back , wherever you go this doesn’t work , just makes confusion worse ! Fish was full of oil and chips were almost non existent , only a sausage in a bag , no kids chips ! I ran a fish and chip shop for years , very successful , never amidst the chaos tonight , oh , and frozen chips reheated , not a great advert 🙈

Thought we'd give it a shot to have real seafood, not fish and chips. They do have real seafood, but a very limited menu, and the chef seems to be a bit afraid of spices and salt. Fairly bland food overall, though the balsamic reduction on the veg was nice. It didn't help that when we asked for salt (there was none on the table) it exploded on the side of my wife's plate. Luckily, most of the salt explosion stayed on the side, leaving just enough on the food to make it OK. I didn't argue the bill, but I also don't think I'd return.
