The best restaurants in Wareham Purbeck South West

Visited with friends a few times now. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, and the food is amazing. There are lots of great choices, but I personally recommend the quiche, which is made on site and comes with new potatoes and salad (complete with homemade coleslaw). They have a good range of homemade cakes and scones on offer too (including gluten free options - ideal for my particular group of friends due to intolences) Their cream teas, in particular, are very generous and beautifully presented. My friend particularly enjoys the tea there, which is served in proper tea pots and loose leaf. I'm more of a coffee drinker and always enjoyed the coffee here.

A very small intimate restaurant offering excellent service and food. Interesting tapas full of strong flavours all perfectly cooked. Thank you for giving us a lovely evening.

One of the best meals I've had in a very long time. All food was lovely and generous portions, the starters (cheese souffle and salt and pepper squid) were exceptional, and the tiramisu was the best I have ever had!! Friendly, efficient service and lovely relaxed setting with fab decor. Already looking at when we can come again! Thank you so much.

Perfect pub. Delicious food, good beer selection, friendly staff. Fireplace inside and nice garden out

Went for afternoon tea with a friend. Car park at the rear down a narrow drive. The entrance was well directed and level access. Inside it was a homely comfortable welcome. Staff were very polite, welcoming and friendly. There are steps down to the room we were in for tea but there was a level access available. Disabled access wc available. Everything was clean and bright. Tea was amazing, choice of beverages and a nice welcome of mulled wine with a gingerbread man. We had booked a traditional afternoon tea but there is a savoury option. When we booked we were asked about dietary requirements and on arrival staff checked again they had it right. Food arrived beautifully arranged on a tiered stand. Staff explained what was there and flavours. Choice of finger sandwiches (6 different flavours), freshly baked fruit scones with pots of clotted cream and jam, selection of small cakes (5 of each). Staff were attentive and refilled tea and coffee pots without being asked. Food was very good and plentiful....we were offered a doggie bag to take some home as we couldn't manage everything. Highly recommend this for a luxury afternoon tea.

Excellent quality, service and atmosphere. Highly recommended.

We visited for my husband’s birthday on a Friday lunchtime, it is a lovely cosy pub with a nice atmosphere right on the quayside all of the staff were very welcoming and helpful. There is JustPark parking outside which was £2 for 2 hours. We used a Groupon voucher which is exceptional value for money and the food quality was not lowered in any way. We bought the 2 course sirloin steak meal with wine for 2 Groupon offer which had an extra discount on it to come out at just £37.49 in total for the 2 of us. You are actually allowed to choose ANYTHING from the menu not just what is on the voucher itself. When you consider that a single sirloin steak meal on its own is £31 on their menu you can see how it is incredible value and well worth the trip to visit. We had a lovely steak meal, flavoursome and perfectly cooked, we swapped out our wine for a cider and a soft drink, then choose Dorset apple cake which was delicious. Photos show our meal (although for clarity that is a double portion of mushrooms as I can’t stand them)

OMG !! This is the centre of the great tasting foods of your deepest desires !!! We popped in here on Monday and fortunately have been back every day since !! The beef teriyaki is just wow, the pulled pork just delicious, but for us the show stopped is the Cottage Pie. Now before anyone turns off at this point, imagine your homemade attempt, where you stand back and pat yourself on the back….then try theirs !!! Worlds apart !! The flavour and mix is worth travelling just to try it ! Never tasted one this good ever and my Nan was a cook !! She would have been trying to get the recipe by any means possible. The staff and service is excellent and the veg and butchers is awesome. We will be back !! AND they do takeout !!! It gets better

Discovered The Bear when looking for venues to host a family birthday celebration. The Green Room made the perfect private event space for about 20 family and friends including children. The food was absolutely delicious and the team helpful throughout, from a call back to my email enquiry and planning a bespoke evening buffet menu to service on the night, and even sorting music for us. Massive thanks to Linda and team, we’ll be back!

The team at All Stars catered for our really large group with smiles and efficiency. I had a delicious cooked breakfast and great coffee, and the selection of cakes was amazing! Thank you!

I ordered on NY day, and I'm sure the restaurant weren't expecting quite so many orders for the night. I ordered takeaway, which was good and hot, but the tempura batter looked breaded, and the onions in the noodles were exceptionally raw - which i love with a salad, but perhaps not what I was expecting with this dish. Nonetheless, the dishes were all empty by the time I finished with them!

Lovely visit for a drink, asked if we could have some cheesy chips, unfortunately not on a Sunday, but what about cauliflower cheese? Roast potatoes? Oh yes please! Omg absolutely amazing! Gravy too! Thank you so much Joe and team just what we wanted with our pints. Great customer service, happy smiling staff and great music too.

I was at a veterans breakfast meeting, great food and a good time had by all that attended.

Just had the best Coffee/Vanilla Milkshake. Custom made and definitely hit the spot. Service friendly, helpful and efficient. Thanks

We had the best service me and my sister after a long day at work. We had the best pizzas. Steve, Mat and James were so lovely, welcoming and professional. Missed the Monday offers however, it was worth paying the full prices. Always looking forward to office day and the pizza treat.
