The best restaurants in Burton Bradstock West Dorset South West

We had a fabulous Christmas Lunch with 25 other residents of Shipton Gorge. Andrea and her team looked after us, service was excellent and hospitality second to none. We enjoyed a delicious three course meal with a selection of Prawn Cocktail, Duck Liver Pate, Garlic Mushrooms for starters followed by Turkey, Steak Pie or a Fish Course then Christmas Pud, a Cheese Plate or Apple and Berry Crumble. The Crumble was so good diners took some home. Our pub has a cozy warm welcoming environment and I’d recommend it to anyone visiting West Dorset.

On entering the pub we were shown to a table in a cold room. We ordered three roasts as it was Sunday lunch . I asked if the beef was rare ,the waitress replied of course. On receiving our meals she commented that the beef wasn’t as rare as usual. The beef was overcooked and dry and the accompanying vegetables of broccoli and cauliflower were watery. A tiny pot of horseradish sauce arrived so we asked for another. For dessert I ordered Dorset apple cake and cream, and three coffees to follow. The coffees arrived before the dessert and the apple cake was very disappointing tasting more like old fashioned bread pudding. The experience was mediocre at best and expensive

We called in for a drink and Sunday Lunch with our puppy, we had a fantastic experience, staff were very friendly and attentive and the food was amazing !! Thank you

Christmas Day lunch, ridiculously over priced, small portions, badly cooked food. One cheese straw per person & glass of Champagne to begin. Starters reasonable but very small. Main course Halibut over cooked & dry served with a side of decent roast potatoes & only one other veg being incinerated fried Brussels sprouts! Truly horrible. Nice building & interior, nice location.

Had a walking group Christmas lunch which was very nice and everyone enjoyed. Only downside was there could of been more vegetables.

Four of us for Sunday lunch. Very good. Great food, good staff. All courses excellent. Very attentive to detail. Relaxed two hours. Will definitely return. Book as they are busy and quite rightly so!

A reasonable country pub with a range of Palmers beers and a satisfactory menu. It was also reasonably priced.

We had an excellent meal here cooked by Chef Will and the team. The staff on that night (Helen, Laura, Jay) looked after our table of 4 perfectly and we felt so welcome in a comfy, casual but elegant environment. Jess has a few food allergies but they were catered for and we felt extremely comfortable and in safe hands. Thanks team!

Wow. One word says it all – the food, the restaurant, the hotel: perfection. PS: Oh, then TripAdvisor said I had to write 100 words. Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. Treat yourself :-)

14 of us went as a group from the nearby Shipton Gorge. We’d preordered and sat at a large table. Service was good and the food was tasty enough but not outstanding. I’d ordered Lemon Sole which wasn’t properly trimmed so a bit disappointing. Most of our gang drank and ate heartily and the evening was a success as a social event.

Another fantastic lunch at The Eggcup! Abbi accommodated 38 of us for an amazing Sunday lunch. We pre-ordered our meals, as we were such a large party celebrating my father’s birthday weekend, and the staff, as always, went above and beyond for us. It is set in such a lovely area and run by a beautiful family. The flavour of the meals is 100% and you always feel full to the brim with their generous portion sizes. If you haven’t tried their roast dinners, you really are missing out. I ordered a birthday cake for my dad’s party and it delivered on every aspect. The wow factor in presentation (people are still commenting on it) The taste was so fresh and light. Not too sweet and held its shape perfectly in your hand. I gave them a free rein in what sort of cake, and knowing what flavours my dad likes. They came up with a wonderful Eton mess cake, topped with fresh berries and meringue. It was out of this world! The staff at The Eggcup really helped my dad have a fantastic 70th birthday and we are very glad to have this gem on our doorstep. Thank you to Abbi, Jess and the whole team.

Great view and beautiful seafood like being on the Mediterranean

Well, we didn’t expect this! Just such a generous welcome from Andrea and attractively furnished rooms were just what we needed for a night’s rest on our epic Coastal Path walk. Thoughtful touches such as cool soft drinks in the room and a box of delicious biscuits, and quality shampoo and shower gels. Great choice of delicious food in the pub restaurant and much needed lager. The vegan chick pea and vegetable curry had the wow factor and was a well thought out excellently balanced meal. Breakfast too was excellent. Don’t know how you get the energy to work so hard Andrea, but you do it wonderfully and are the best host ever.

Stopped for lunch. My parents used to live about 15 miles away (they have now passed) but they took us there many years ago, The food is always great the staff very friendly, It was lovely to return and find the same quality of food and staff, Thank you for a great meal.
