The best restaurants serving Seafood food in Lyme Regis West Dorset South West

The best seafood I’ve ever had in Lyme Regis - including Mark Hicks! Brilliant, charming, knowledgeable service and atmosphere and the food was so good we came back the next night!! These two young talented people deserve their own restaurant NOW!! ❤️

Only went in for a cup of tea and cake but saw the food on offer and it was amazing , the most beautiful rack of lamb I have ever tasted and some super fresh haddock ! Thank you Tom and the lovely team , and your wife for tha Apple cake !

We chose this outlet for a fish and chips lunch as it indicated that it does gluten free fish and chips. This turned out to be fish without the batter when we had hoped that they used a gluten free batter and a separate fryer. I hope that they don't just remove the batter after cooking as this will lead to problems over the GF description if experienced by someone with full Coeliac disease. So far as the general standard is concerned I have had better crispier batter with the same for the chips and the mushy peas are a sloppy mix, with far better and the Red Lion Beaminster

This is no longer the Fisherman's Wife. It would be great if the people that have taken it over could also serve a variety of locally caught fish.

I’ve waited 6 weeks to write this review. It’s considered because I know Hospitality has been difficult since Covid. We went to this restaurant to celebrate our 30th anniversary - my partner had chosen it over other restaurants near us in Dorset. It was a fabulous stormy day with great views from the dining room. We were welcomed and given a perfect table - ‘sticky’ - but never mind it’s a big day! Had a lovely glass of English sparkling and then our starters arrived. Mine had congealed food on it, clearly left over from a previous service. The server did a double take too but decided to ignore it…and so did I. (I know that, at this point I should have said something but I just didn’t want to ruin our meal. And, by the way, I don’t think it should be up to the customer to complain, the staff should apologise and replace immediately.) We ordered another glass of wine which just didn’t turn up until we asked again at least 20 mins later. Small things are now accumulating... This is how an expensive meal goes from poor to pitiful. Our mains came (we didn’t mind that it was very slow - it was a Sunday and we were there to enjoy the moment). The additional vegetables were just rock hard. My fish had some unrecognisable ‘innards’ - not roe. We had fully intended to stay for pudding, coffee, dessert wine etc etc but we just looked at each other (30 years of dining out at great restaurants together) and decided to call it a day. We were so deflated… So disappointing. To the restaurant: please take notice of our comments. We want lovely restaurants to go to in Dorset - think about what you’re being told in good faith and up your game.

This is a review of Lyme Fish Bar On The Beach. There seems to be a bit of confusion, as they seem to have 3 outlets in the town. After a long, long wait - 20 minutes, eventually the cod and chips appeared.Some mutterings about a problem and the gas. I feared the worse.BUT fair play. Fish & Chips was pretty good. Such a shame about the long wait.

We ordered at the counter here to takeaway and waited far too long for our food. There was only 1 person ahead of us and although the café area and terrace were busy, there seemed to be a great deal of staff doing very little. For a seaside takeaway I've never waited longer. We ordered 1 x jumbo sausage with child's chips which turned out to be not a jumbo sausage but a standard sized shrivelled up, very dry and overcooked inedible sausage. Scampi and chips - offered the option of small or large by the girl a the counter - somewhat thrown as the board did not specify a size but just offered scampi and chips at £6.90. I opted for small (envisioning oversized chip shop mountainous portions!) and was charged £6.90 as specified on the board - the portion consisted of 5 pieces of scampi and a portion of chips equal to the childs portion - disgraceful for the price. A portion of chips by the way, is around £2 so for 5 tiny pieces of scampi I was charged £4. What on earth would I have been charged for a large portion?!The cod and chips was handed over the counter by the girl "child's cod and chips?" "No we ordered an adults cod and chips and a childs sausage and chips" "oh yes sorry It is an adults portion". Well I can say with almost complete certainty that it was a childs portion and was a mistake on their part that they tried to cover up. Either that or the portions of cod here are the smallest seen anywhere on the South Coast of England. Tiny, thin and really really overcooked and dried out to a crisp. To add insult to injury, after our long wait, all the chips we were served were soggy, very undercooked and "potatoey" rather than chipped. We paid £17 for our measly lunch. After lunch we passed a number of other fish and chip outlets all of which charged around £2 less per dish and looked superior. Go elsewhere. Very poor indeed.
