The best restaurants serving Seafood food in Purbeck South West

Quite simply our favourite place in Swanage to spend a few hours, watching the view , listening to the sea, creating memories and with Molly and her great team. The food and drink are first class and the atmosphere is unbearable

Probably the crispiest batter I have ever tasted. Chips good too. Fish portion small for the price. £9.90 with chips. Very busy so had to wait 10 minutes. Staff could do with smiling .

Visited last week and both my wife and I had the trio of fish which included crab , prawns and smoked salmon served with salad and fries. The meal was lovely with just the right size of portion. We both had a nice glass of pinot grigio, it wasn't cheap but you get what you pay for which was excellent. The service was both friendly and excellent, would definitely recommend and will return on our next visit to the fantastic Swanage.

Gorgeous location, great food & excellent service. Would definitely recommend a visit & we will be back over the summer

We're not local, just climbing and paddling along the south coast. After a long day on the sea, we decided to treat ourselves to fish and chips. The chips were golden and how chips should be. Phil was happy that he got to eat haddock, I went for cod. Both our meals were respectful portions. The staff are excellent: the girl on the till noticed that we had been overcharged, so gave us £4 back. We didn't realise, so thank you for your honesty x

Really lovely fish and chips place is a little shabby.

Great location and good staff but the food was poor quality and uninspiring. It’s disheartening to pay lots for food that was so cheap and had little love.

Well the food is delicious. A lovely lunch and maybe the best fish I have ever tasted. The service is good and the location spectacular. Would we go back … No! Simply because in the restaurant they allow dogs. Quite a few of them. So great for dog owners but absolutely not for us!!

Visited this cafe today and the service was really bad. The lady serving us was very rude. The order took over 1 hour for fish and chips and panni’s. We ordered for two adults and two kids. Really wasn’t worth the wait when it arrived. Over priced , poor service and not clean. Not sure what the hygiene rating is but the place wasn’t clean. The lady that took my order was extremely rude and questioned my son on why we needed four dessert spoons after we ordered desserts and refused to give us more than two dessert spoons and asked us to take the wooden ones instead. Very old behaviour. We also noticed that a lot of people that arrived after us received their order before us. Would really avoid this place as the food was average but more importantly the staff were not helpful and rude. Disappointing as we wanted to buy a painting inside but due to the poor experience decided not too.

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.

Good chippie. Quality food and oil must have been fresh. Regular chip portion size felt a bit mean though and £12 overall for regular haddock, chips and peas felt a lot but I appreciate costs always rising. Would use again
