We are fortunate to have a large variety of excellent pubs, cafe and restaurants in our vicinity. Here is a small selection we recommend in no particular order.

Restaurants and pubs

White Horse, Haselbury Plucknett 01460 78873

Our guests' favourite restaurant. Richard and Rebecca really know how to run a great place for food. Serving locally sourced fresh food from a not too large menu. It is very popular so we recommend booking. Open Wed, Thurs, Fri and Saturday evenings

Crooked Swan, Crewkerne 01460 208414

The pub restaurant in town. Open all week except for Sunday evenings.

Haselbury Mill 01460 77095

This is immediately opposite us so very handy if you have a long journey before you arrive.

Oscars, Crewkerne 01460 77494

This is a friendly place, very old and intriguing. Food is excellent value.

Cat Head Inn, Chiselborough 01935 881231

Very good reviews, recommended, definitely try to book in advance, it is very popular and quite small.

Lord Poulett Arms, Hinton St. George 01460 73149

The Lord Poulett is right in the middle of a beautiful village, Hinton St George. The village consistently tops the charts on the life expectancy league tables! Traditional stylish pub with great food.

Brassica Restaurant, Beaminster 01308 538100 

Station Kitchen, West Bay, Bridport 01308 422845

Multi award winning quirky restaurant specialising in seafood in a railway carriage! Recommended by William Sitwell, Hugh Laurie and Martin Clunes. A special place for a celebration.

Seaside Boarding House, Hive Beach, Burton Bradstock

We love it here. Stunning location on top of the cliff at Burton Bradstock. Excellent service without any pretentiousness, great cocktails!

Hive Beach cafe, Burton Bradstock 01308 897070

Great place for lunch. Set on the beach at Hive, near Burton Bradstock. The Hive Beach company have 3 restaurants stretching along Chesil Beach, the Watch House at West Bay, the Clubhouse at West Bexington and Hive Beach cafe. All serve delicious seafood in great settings.

Millside, Lyme Regis 01297 445999

I have to admit that we haven't eaten here, but some of our guests have highly recommended this restaurant in the middle of Lyme Regis. It has been really popular this Summer so very few places available. Fine dining with a riverside location.

Rachel's Seafood Shack, The Quay, West Bay

Such a popular place it's hard to get a table, just wait or get there early, it is worth it. Fabulous seafood overlooking West Bay harbour, open every day except Tuesdays for lunch, weather permitting as all tables are outside.

Hix Oyster and Fish House, Lyme Regis 01297 446910

Panoramic views over Lyme Regis. Open 6 days a week, closed Mondays. British seafood menu based on catch of the day.
