Where to eat: the 49 best restaurants in Lyme Regis

Pricey but lovely for a treat. I had lovely veg lasagne with v good chips, salad. Of particular note was the treacle tart with a generous amount of clotted cream which was very yummy indeed!

The food was amazing!! The mussels were so delicious, the chips were the best, and the food was extremely tasty!! Would definitely come again.👌🏼👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

It is well placed close to the Cobb and has lots of seating. Quite a good atmosphere during the day. Three of us eat there all having the same, two thought the fish and chips were ok, one was disappointed. Not much of an exaggeration to say that one of the fish portions was more batter than fish. The chips were not the best we have eaten. For the price we expected better but I guess you are paying for the location. However, the staff were really helpful and friendly.

Absolutely amazing! I didn’t expect much from a sea side inn but we were blown away! Especially having eaten somewhere quite posh the day before which didn’t live up to its reviews- we couldn’t believe the skill of the chef! Never tasted anything like it! We had the catch of the day- gurnard which was so beautifully presented and exquisite flavours with leek and bacon fricasse and pea croquette with shoe string fries- wow! The chocolate pudding was delicious too! So lovely to be by the sea with that atmosphere! morris dancing outside, dog welcome and fast service. Couldn’t speak more highly of the place. Will definitely recommend to friends and return some day! Thanks for a lovely evening! Stunning local art on the walls too!

Really delicious lunch. Perfect table, as suited the special request that I made on booking. Lovely atmosphere. The only issue that I found was that after we were seated and were given the Menu’s, we were left for 20minutes without any service at all. During those 20minutes - 2 tables were served their desserts and we saw no-one at the area of the restaurant until 20minutes had passed and I summonsed a waitress to serve us with some drinks and our choice of meal - just incase we had to wait another 20mins before they returned. This was redeemed by the beautiful lunch. But ruined the initial impression of our visit.

Enjoyed the superb food served up by the kitchen today. Amazing quality and taste, Sadly let down by a poor performance by the front of house team. Not a smile between them and almost felt we were an inconvenience. Hopefully the kitchen get to share the tip and maybe brought a glimmer of a smile to the front of house team. The food was hot and delicious - just what we needed.

Lovely meal - Portions were large and would recommend sharing the garlic bread or mussel starters. Steak was well cooked but without any vegetables. Fish pie great ratio of potato to filling. Scallop and prawn fish cakes special lovely. Dog friendly in the bar. Would recommend booking a table

We stopped here for a lunch and were very happy with our choice. The service was great, fast and with a smile. The food was delicious (we had a pizza and calamari with Greek potatoes) and it arrived very quickly. The interior is also lovely and just across the road from the museum which was perfect for us.

Popped down the Lyme Regis, and thought I'd try here. The place is lovely, it's just across the road from the sea front, the food was nice, but a bit on the pricey side, and there isn't a huge selection on the menu, and not much for vegetarians. The staff were nice and welcoming. They are dog friendly but only in the first part of the building, so at busier times/high season this could prove problematic as there aren't many low tables. I would visit here again even if it's just for a drink.

Fantastic meal yesterday. We were struggling as a party of 13 of us to find somewhere on a busy Sunday. From a chef and catering business owner I have to say that the food was fabulous. Didn’t wait too long, and everyone’s dishes were of great quality. My steak was so well seasoned.

Came here for a roast and had high hopes but was disappointed. The roast came and we got 3 minuscule roast potatoes, would be okay if they were big ones but they were tiny. The pork looked like lunch meat and was very thin and fatty. The vegetables were nice and cooked to perfection as were the parsnips. The Yorkshire pudding was burnt. There really wasn’t much on your plate considering the price. So don’t go if you are hungry.

Misleading from the outside! Beautiful restaurant area inside and a good menu to choose from including daily specials. Menu much larger than that advertised by the main access door, so don't be put off!! Really pleased with our meals - table of four, two of which had three courses. Far exceeded our expectations and can highly recommend.

Food was amazing, service was superb. You can't go wrong picking this restaurant to eat. We even had a baby in a highchair who was well looked after.

The fish and chips I had last night were the best I’ve had anywhere; absolutely perfect. I gather the batter is tempura. Whatever it is, it’s superb.

Great views. Attentive staff. Good food. Fair to expensive on pricing. My 3rd visit over the years. Place and decor is now looking tired. Very sticky tables. Easily resolved with some linen table cloths. Smoke from kitchen irritated my partner's eyes. Unlikely to return.

We held our wedding reception at the Oyster and Fish House on 27/04/24 and we cannot thank everyone in the team enough for helping to make our wedding day so special. The service from the moment we booked was great, Jo and Nic were very responsive to any of our questions and helped to plan and prep our day by meeting with us several times beforehand to ensure everything was planned the way we had imagined. In addition we had a meeting with Mark Hix where he helped to design a bespoke menu. Thank you so much Mark, the menu was incredible! On the wedding morning the staff were incredibly helpful and set the tables and decorations up for us. Everything was laid out perfectly on arrival and all the guests were greeted warmly with champagne and gorgeous canapes. The staff were fantastic and brilliant hosts, chatting with all our guests and ensuring everyone's glasses were topped up as needed. We also want to thank the chefs, the food was exceptional, plentiful and beautifully presented. We could not finish it all despite our best efforts! It really was a day to remember, and our wedding felt unique and special to us. We had 38 guests in total, the size of the restaurant was perfect for providing an intimate setting. The beautiful view of the coast and Cobb is also a bonus. Before our wedding we had eaten at the Oyster and Fish House several times, and on each occasion the food and service were faultless, we will definitely be back. We would like to say thank you again to everyone at the Oyster and Fish House! Hannah and Ben

A fantastic meal. The seafood was extremely fresh and everything was made with great care and attention to detail. It’s the first time we’ve had cockles popcorn and it was delicious - especially with vinegar drizzled on top. The mussels were divine and the prawn burger was very filling and packed with prawn. The scrumpy (fried oyster) was very well made - considering how wet oysters can get, it was impressive that they came out so crispy. The team was attentive and the place has a lovely view. Very glad we found this place during our visit and managed to book a table.

Absolutely lovely evening with a fantastic view over Lyme Regis and the port. The food, although we only went for starter and oysters, was absolutely delicious and fresh as they come. The staff were, attentive, friendly and just amazing. Yes, as a few others have commented it is a pricier than usual restaurant but it’s worth it for a special evening.

The setting and building is absolutely gorgeous, but the servers and food make this spot a must. Freya was accommodating to our large party with 2 toddlers and made us feel like we were eating at a friends home. Her welcoming spirit and overall passion for the menu made for the best experience. I was so satisfied with the miso fruto , hake, monkfish pie and the soda bread is to die for . Will definitely be back!

Great staff, food was great. Reason for only 3 stars is that they gave us not the nicest table in the house as there were a couple of larger tables which made a lot of noise and we sat right next to it. So no option anymore to dine in peace or talk to each other. They should consider this better in the future or let guests know in advance. We managed to get a table outside, but also there was a larger table. Put in middle of 3x tables with couples. Maybe logistically organise this better so all have a good time.

A fantastic seafood restaurant perched on the hillside overlooking the Cob in Lyme Regis. We had a wonderful meal soaking in the relaxed atmosphere, while watching holiday makers enjoying the last of the sun down on the beach. Amazingly fresh crab, so large my dining partner had to help me finish it. I would recommend the popcorn cockles and the two different types of oysters, both delicious, and distinctly different. The service was excellent, and the staff very knowledgeable about the dishes on offer. Our waitress did a wonderful job persuading us to try both types of oysters, a decision we did not regret. We finished the evening with a walk down to the harbour, to find a pub for a drink before heading home. People were still on the beach at 9pm as the weather was so hot. A word of caution if you're not staying in Lyme Regis. There are only a few taxis available in the town, having arrived by bus from our base, we were looking at a long walk home along unlit country lanes. Luckily one the chefs at the Cob arms heard our predicament and as he lived in the village were we were based kindly offered us a lift home when his girlfriend picked him up at the end of his shift. An immense stroke of luck to end a fantastic evening out. Highly recommended and we are planning to try the London branch at some point.

Took my mum down to Lyme Regis as it's her favourite local seaside . Stopped at the Cobb for lunch with no great expectations but hey it was very nice , friendly staff we had scampi and chips and Hake and chips both nicely served up at our table food looked good and tasted even better well above seaside pub fare the white wine a Marlborough was also good served at the right temperature in a decent glass, and finally to top it off the coffee was also good. The only reason I gave it 4 stars not 5 is the complete lack of views from inside the pub , I believe you can see out of two of the window on the sea side. Good job worth a visit

I spent a week in lyme Regis for my 50th last week and visited the Cobb, twice for food and my last night for a drink... I cant praise the staff enough, especially lisa. Lisa I thank you very much, helpful,bubbly and a good sense of humour, I'm sad I missed you my last night. As for the food, it was amazing, the mashed potato especially. I will be telling all my family to visit The Cobb if they are ever near, I will come back again on my next holiday Thank you all

i need to share the horrid experience I just had. we are at the end of our holiday and I thought it would be nice to go to the Cobb Arms to celebrate a lovely holiday. every table in the pub was dirty. we chose a table that I then proceeded to spend 5 minutes removing all the glasses from and then cleaning. following this, we ordered drinks. about 5 minutes thereafter, who I assume was the manager, started saying to the staff we need to get the reserve signs on the table or we are going to be in trouble. Part way through a private conversation as a family we were then interrupted to say that the table had been reserved for 20 minutes time and could we move to another table. all politely but obviously this is quite annoying but we agreed to leave the pub for 20 minutes time (we had been planning to spend quite alot on drinks but obviously we just felt in the way). between us, once the staff member had walked away, I expressed my frustrations to my husband, to which the member of staff over heard and rolled his eyes back at us and argumentatively says that he asked politely. it is correct that he asked politely but it was clearly with desperation to get rid of us. this is also kind of missing the point entirely that there was no acknowledgement or apology for the inconvenience. I had also politely agreed to move, but this did not then stop the member of staff interrupting a private conversation to start an argument with me., appalling behaviour and should be disciplined for his behaviour. not a friendly place!

The only positive when visiting this pub was the lovely staff. When we arrived there were numerous dirty tables . The table was cleared it wasn’t wiped . Food is obviously frozen. The vegetables were hardly cooked and drenched in strong garlic butter . The fish cakes were not as described. If we were so hungry we would have sent it back. We isn’t our 1st time to this pub but truly disappointed at how run down it has become.

Pub on the seafront with excellent selection of beers. Food was great and the staff were lovely. Great place to have a chill and a beer in the sun after the beach. Only thing that would improve it is if they had WiFi, hardly a deal breaker!

!! Shoutout to Mike, Ethan and Luke for outsanding and warm service!! Wonderdul time at the Cobb Arms. Its my second time in Lyme Regis, and the Cobb Arms was is gradually becoming a ritual for my first night here. Situated on the harbour, with view of the fishing boats and famous Cobb walk, its the ideal spot for a meal and drink. The Fish Misto starter was perfect for a taste of what seafood Lyme has to offer ✨️👌

(Bar review only). Lovely little drinking hole on the harbour that’s dog friendly. Friendly staff helping an elderly customer in with his mobility scooter. Not 5 stars simply for the cost, never in my Jurassic years have i spent over 6 squid on a pint of the blackstuff, it was good so had 2! Interesting interior decor (pic).

We are regulars and we always love it here. Great seafront location, fantastic menu, good cocktails, friendly staff. Reliably delicious. Would recommend you book in advance but some walk-ins available, you might need to queue in summer months during holidays.

Great food and a great atmosphere. We had a lovely meal for six tonight and the menu was full of fab options. I had some calamari for starters and a burger for mains. The chips were delicious and the portions very generous - I almost wished they offered half sizes! We were sat in one of the back booths but still had an amazing view of the sea, made better by the sliding windows being left open. We could watch the eclipse from the warmth inside! Definitely recommend as there’s something for everyone on the menu and it has a great vibe inside.

When we walked in we got a seat very fast (5ppl) and it looked very busy. Staff are fabulous. The food looked great and let me tell you it was absolutely delicious. This is the type of place I highly recommend for family friends and social gatherings. Even meetings. This place has inside and outside. Space is between tables is great. NOTE: they don't have WiFi The price is a bit dear... however I have no regrets. I'll happily come again and recommend for anyone! Will post a tik tok review later on

Called in for breakfast, seated straight away outside with gorgeous views! Breakfast superb, menu diverse and staring at croissants for £3 to full breakfasts. Coffee also 👌

If you want to eat very tasty and enjoy the atmosphere around. We recommend visiting this establishment. Excellent service, delicious food and in addition a beautiful view of the La-mansh and mountains.

Fantastic food paired with a wonderful atmosphere. We enjoyed a delightful meal for six, and the menu was packed with tempting options. I started with calamari and followed it with a burger for mains. The chips were excellent, and the portions were generous — I almost wished half sizes were available! We were seated in a back booth but still had a stunning view of the sea, made even better with the sliding windows open. Watching the eclipse from the comfort of the warm interior was a real treat. Highly recommend this spot — the menu has something for everyone, and the vibe inside is really inviting.

Nice modern chic, restaurant nestled right on the Lyme Regis seafront. It is within a stones throw of the Cob, the famous stone walled harbour. The staff are very friendly and helpful, providing an excellent service. Food orders are completed quickly and the quality and presentation of the food is great. Nearly all the food is sourced locally so zero food miles too. I highly recommended this restaurant it caters for all tastes and ages and includes a children's menu. Dogs on leads are also welcome.

Fantastic location just steps away from the sandy beach. Welcoming friendly staff who were very accommodating when we messed up on our booking. Ate here one lunchtime, very generous portions, feta rolls were gorgeous. Sandwiches really tasty. Generous portions. We also came back later in the week and ate in the evening. Husband had souvlaki I had the Prawn Saganaki. Both were delicious, again generous portions and very reasonably priced. Greek orange cake delicious too.

Loved it! Really great to find a place where you can have a classic pub meal, or change it up and have Greek food! I had halloumi gyros and it was delicious and HUGE, especially for the price paid. Really friendly staff and amazing value for money. Sad I’m not a local!

No mark for food as we stayed for only one drink before heading back to the car to travel back to Weymouth. I had a beer and my partner and 2 friends had coffee's (cappuccino and 2 latte's). Great clean pub next to a flowing stream and a small stones throw from the beach. Service was great and very helpful. Male toilets were clean and tidy. We sat in the pub garden, there is an small upper area to eat and drink with a great view of the Dorset Jurassic coast.

Fantastic food, we had the ploughman's, everything was fresh, and lots of it, the sour dough was to die for... We will definitely be back... Thankyou...

We went to the Royal Standard a couple of times for lunch and we were not disappointed. The food was of really good quality and plenty of it. All the sandwiches/baguettes were fabulous. If you get to try the pulled pork gyros, you will need a hearty appetite. A great selection of drinks accompany the food. We look forward to our next visit.

Lovely place with good choice of meals and drinks. We had crab salad £19 each and had some cider to go with it. It can get quite busy. Easy access to toilets, but nice outside seating area.

We approached the pub from the seafront, having not visited before. Walking into the garden, I honestly thought we were entering a Greek restaurant and was quite surprised to find a quaint, traditional pub inside! The food was delicious, we loved the Greek specialities and the vegans in our group were pleased with so many choices. Would definitely return again.

Brilliant cafe facing right out to sea. Amazing food, we had the Asian fish sandwich special and the vegetarian version which swapped out the fish for banana blossom. Both were divine, huge portions too and great flavours. Sourdough was insane. Amazing Stokes ketchup too. Oat flat white was great too.

Beautiful food in a beautiful location. We dined here on Friday and had a great meal; we opted for the special fish dish, cornish silver mullet, and a smash burger. Both dishes were incredible. Staff were very friendly and attentive; we were seated with another couple who had a dog, and stuff confirmed with us beforehand we were happy with this (which we were). We will definitely be back again.

Enjoyed a breakfast at The Lyme Bay in Lyme Regis. The food was delicious, we chose both bacon and sausage sandwiches. The very tasty sourdough bread needs a mention. The staff were friendly and helpful and the location was idyllic, looking out to sea across the bay. You can sit inside or outside and there were canopies over some of the outside seating should you want protection from the sun or rain. We are looking forward to our next visit.

this was one of the best resteraunt experiences me and my boyfriend have had. the staff were LOVELY and so kind. the food was so yummy and the portions were huge, so well worth the money! we sat on the terrace, it was raining but it was so lovely and the atmosphere was amazing (little tea lights and freshly foraged flowers for table decor). it was a 10/10 experience, can’t wait to come back, thankyou for having us

The stuff is supper friendly and willing to go above and beyond to make you have a nice experience. The outside sitting is wonderful with great views. We ordered the fish and chips and was very tasty. The only flaw were the cocktails. Not amazing. Better stick to beer or wine.

Visited the Lyme Bay Cafe on the first day of our holiday and we're delighted that we did. We reserved in advance and came for dinner with our two teenagers and two small dogs and were made to feel very welcome. The service is exceptional. Friendly, quick and professional. The food is very good and I have given it 5 stars since 4 stars on Google tends to suggest "bang average" which it definitely wasn't. It's not winning any Michelin Stars but the seafood linguine was tasty and packed full of seafood, the steak was cooked to perfection and the plaice special was delightful. Add in the wonderful, seaview location, you really can't go wrong here. I'm just sorry I only took a photo of the specials board!

Wonderful accidental Thursday evening. Was wandering past when we saw the mussel evening special and popped in to see if they had a table. What a pleasure to meet someone and nothing is a problem. Sat out in the covered area but was perfectly warm, ordered 2 portions of the mussels and some bread. The waitress , Sarah, was and absolute superstar. Incredible value for money, superb ambience and the best service. If there were 6 stars I would give them.

We found this place on Google Maps, so glad we went. We had our dog with us, so we ate on the outside benches. We had to wait a few minutes to be seated, but it was definitely worth the wait. The coffee was very good and we all enjoyed our food. The staff were all very friendly and attentive. It was very good value for money, we all left feeling very full. They also have a little shop selling lovely treats

Fabulous! What a wonderful place to enjoy lunch whilst visiting Lyme Regis. Such a lovely buzzing atmosphere. We were made so welcome by all the staff even though it was packed with visitors. We were with our two whippets and they were also made very welcome! The cappuccino was the best I’d ever had, and the egg Royale was just fab. We’ll definitely be coming back in the spring!

Just loved this place. Food is fantastic and the decaff coffee is the best had. Set down one of the side street of Lyme Regis. It's worth a visit but go early to avoid the crowds. Also has a takeaway service.

Stopped for a coffee and cake with our whippets. Very dog friendly, lovely coffee and the cake we chose was pretty spectacular. Nice sheltered seating outside with friendly welcoming staff. Foods are not the cheapest but what we had we were happy with.

I love a good bakery, so when we realised our accommodation was literally across the road from here, we visited a few times! Coffee and pastries were great. Lovely seating outdoors. Can be a bit of a wait for a table as first come first serve, especially in the morning, but totally worth it!

We had an amazing breakfast here this morning! Poached eggs on sourdough with crispy bacon and scrambled eggs on sourdough with sausage. Absolutely delicious and kept us full for our fossil walk and the rest of the afternoon! Definitely check it out if you are in Lyme Regis - but come early as it was already pretty busy by 9:30am.

We used it a couple of times and found that on both visits the staff were really friendly and the food was very good, with quite a few vegetarian options.

Looking for somewhere for lunch at short notice, and thought we would give this a try as usual restaurant of choice booked. And I'm so glad it was! Had the Sunday set menu. Quiet and contemporary surroundings, really great serving staff (16.2.25 well done you two!). The food was delicious, really fabulous. Can't understand why it was not packed as felt price was reasonable for quality of food. Would have been 5* but it was a little cold in there and coffee was not very hot - but those are minor points. We would highly recommend and already planning a return visit - worth the 75-minute drive!!

We didn't book, and the restaurant was full, but the server offered us the bar table or outside dining, and as it as a sunny warm evening we landed on the outdoor dining. This is a rare find. Not only was the outdoor dining stylish and intimate, it offered wonderful service, and a 10/10 experience. The dinner was wonderful, from small bites all the way to the main the meal was wonderful. The menu is seasonal and delicious, this was a menu that didn't offer comfortable favourites, but diverse delicious plates that we talked about all the way home. They even made us a tailor made cocktail which was spicy and lovely. We had 3 servings. We are thrilled we got in, and would recommend it to anyone who is a food lover.

Came here for dinner for my partners birthday from London. Fantastic little restaurant in a great location. Beautiful, simple decor and super friendly staff. Lovely seasonal menu with a great selection of vegetarian, fish and meat fishes from the area. The 'soused mackerel' was my favourite and the frangipane desert were exquisite. The wine was local and divine. Great experience and a great meal.

We had the seasonal three course meal. Good range of choices and the restaurant made sure all of it could be cooked gluten free. The gf bread & butter was fantastic - nothing defrosted from a pack, but fresh & full of texture & flavour. Excellent selection of wines too.

I came here for dinner after reading such great reviews online and I gotta say this was a truly exceptional dining experience. Excellent and attentive service, with a comfortable relaxed atmosphere. I ordered the mackerel and rabbit dishes, as well as a brown sugar meringue, a cider and herbal tea. Everything was delicious, really highlighted what I love about dining out. The culinary team showcased some pretty exciting and complex flavour profiles without coming across as over engineered. This restaurant also successfully implements an ever changing menu with seasonal ingredients, which is not an easy thing to do. From my other dining experiences, I know farm-to-table cuisine can easily lend itself to inconsistency. If you’re in the area, I would definitely recommend giving this place a try.

Harriet Mansell’s Lilac restaurant and wine bar in Lyme Regis is a must if you staying here. I booked a table a few weeks ago as it was for a birthday meal. We arrived earlier than our booked table so that we could try out of some the cocktails. We were greeted by friendly smiling staff and shown to a cosy sofa area where we enjoyed one of their cocktails. We were not disappointed - imaginative ingredients and very nicely presented too! Lilac offers an amazing menu of small plates to share using seasonal locally sourced produce. The dishes are beautifully presented, full of amazing flavours to treat your taste buds and you can just keep ordering! We have previously eaten at Robin Wylde (which recently closed) and experienced Harriet’s amazing talent for great food. It was lovely to see Harriet, who is always smiling, and have a chat. I hope your next venture (whenever that may be) is as successful as both of the restaurants that we have eaten in to date. Thank you to all of the team for making the evening so enjoyable.

Picked this superb place because of a mention in the Guide Michelin and honestly thought they deserve a Bib Gourmand. Tucked away in a cellar in the High, the classification as a wine bar doesn’t do it full justice. It’s a fantastic restaurant with tapas style food and they also have a great wine selection. The staff were extraordinarily nice and engaging and we felt most welcome. Very strong recommendation to book in advance to not miss out on this experience.

Absolutely worth for a several hours drive! Came from Oxford for the lobster and it was amazing! Delicious food and deserts, and a wine cart where you can match drink perfectly to your meal. Separate huge thank you to the staff! Amazing service! Will definitely be coming back 💙

Absolutely loved our experience at Millside! The food was exceptional—every dish bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive without being overbearing, making us feel genuinely welcome. Combined with the warm, inviting atmosphere, it made for a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Highly recommend and can’t wait to return!

A 10/10 experience Lovely food, amazing service and a lovely atmosphere All the staff were superb and attentive, our food was so fresh and tasted amazing Great value for the quality of it all Tucked away in Lyme Regis it is on my go back to restaurant list. Make sure you book a table as it’s so popular we saw dozens of people being told they were fully booked and no wonder 1 recommendation would be to remove the 20 odd shrimp and just have 4-6 king prawns, the faff of peeling them just isn’t worth it Thank you for a wonderful experience

One of the best meals we've had in awhile. Everything was perfectly cooked & beautifully presented. The welcome & the service was warm & friendly. Just the most wonderful eating experience.

We had a truly lovely meal here! We were after some decent muscles which we found at the Millside. I had the special lobster starter and the monkfish curry. My partner had a steak. And we shared a cracking bottle of wine. Everuthong was delicious. 10/10

My boyfriend and I were holidaying in Lyme over the weekend, both from Birmingham, we have plenty of restaurants in the city… yet Millside is the best meal we have had so far in 2024! Such a beautiful setting and a intimate dining experience. Although a small menu for mains, the starters are varied. I tried the escargot which our waiter recommended - who knew snails tasted so good! My boyfriend had the half lobster and I tried rump steak, also for the first time. Both dishes were presented beautifully and provided explosions of flavour with each bite, I’ll be dreaming of this meal for weeks! Thank you for such a wonderful meal and such attentive service.

Lovely place, bit expensive! Food was good although our main was a bit dull and tasteless which was a shame.

Love this place so much! Every time my family and I visit Devon/Dorset we make sure to grab a Whole Hog. The hog roast is superb, full of flavour, freshly cooked and the service is always quick. The doughnuts are brilliant too! The tiny shop front has a quirky design but it’s easily hidden as it’s on the main road with a narrow pavement, so be sure not to miss it on your way through Lyme! It’s a must if you’re in the area.

Guys, THIS is the place to go! Lovely people and one of my top 10 meals ever tasted. The 'hog rost' is absolutely delicious and made with love. The apple sauce, caramelised onions...and the perfectly crispy pieces of crust alongside a perfect balance of gravy and stuffing: mouth-watering. And, as a German, I do know about perfectly done hog roasts! You can literally taste the love, and I'm already in despair that I probably won't taste it again anytime soon :/ but anyways, thanks so much and it was absolutely lovely meeting you! Add: if you decide on a doughnut, try the raspberry one. Really good!!! Note that it's takeaway only. You'll find some nice place to sit and enjoy at the costal line / beach around the corner.

This is a lovely little pop in place to grab a coffee, donut or cooked meats roll. I loved the raspberry filled donut, the filling was fresh and zesty and the dough was light and delicious with just a little crunch. Very good. We had the chicken thigh and stuffing roll. There was plenty of chicken and stuffing but something was a little salty for me. Not sure if it was the stuffing? I would have again but I would prefer no stuffing and a mayo instead of gravy but that is personal preference. There is no seating and not much room to wait and directly on the road through Lyme Regis but staff were friendly and recommended a place to eat to avoid the seagulls which was a short walk away.

Such a lovley Hog Roast Roll. Great serving size and cooked to perfection. My only suggestion would be to supply a small tub of gravy for dipping.

The food was absolutely amazing. I had the hog roast bap to start with, which I highly recommend, especially as it had bits of crackling in it. I'd have liked the roast chicken but they had run out by the time I went, part of me wanted to mark them down a little for this but really not willing to take away a whole star because they faced high demand in the summer. I also had a Nutella filled doughnut which was amazing. They fill their doughnuts fresh in the morning and have lots of delicious flavours. I wanted to go Nutella, the lady did inform me that she'd run out, I was just about to decide on a different filling when she kindly said she could do fill one for me. They keep some empty and fill them as and when people request fillings. Definitely a satisfied customer and recommend people try it if they go there on holiday. Sorry for the average score on atmosphere, the little take away window and shop was beautiful but when you're eating on the street the atmosphere is what you make of it, not really down to the store.

The best raspberry donuts I have ever tasted. Thanks for saving me one. The weight, consistency, crunch, OMG, if I lived in Lyme I would be donut shaped ;) thank you so much Cheryl and Bayley x

We got here early for the freshly made doughnuts which we missed out on another day. It was worth coming back…my niece especially loved them!

It's pretty good. We popped in for a pizza and a drink. The service was nice enough, and everything seemed to be run smoothly. The seating area overlooking the beach was nice. The pizza was pretty good. You'll love it if you like your pizza thin and crispy, I would have preferred it a little on the thicker side, but it was still nice. Plenty of toppings, and really nice flavours. The pepper grinder didn't work, but the chill oil was very nice.

Arrived a little early and they couldn't even seat us for drink as too busy. Gentle warning try not to arrive early in high season, especially if you have nagging moaning kids!! Pizza and table service was great! Best pizza I've had in a long long time!!! Booked for 115pm but table sitting before us over ran x sat outside which was lovely 😍

A Delightful Afternoon at Poco Pizza in Lyme Regis I must say, Poco Pizza in Lyme Regis is absolute great! Tucked away with a splendid view over the beach, it offers pizzas that are simply scrumptious, bursting with flavour and cooked to perfection in a proper wood-fired oven. The prices are remarkably fair, especially considering the prime seaside location; one feels one’s getting tremendous value for money. We popped in during the afternoon, and it was utterly perfect; relaxed and inviting. I can only imagine how even more cosy it would be in the evening, with the sun setting over the waves. The music was spot on, too, complementing the ambience beautifully without overpowering conversation. All in all, a marvellous spot for anyone seeking a top-notch pizza experience in Dorset. Highly recommended, if you love Pizza and Italian Food!

Absolute fantastic restaurant. Our pizzas were cooked from scratch to order and we're perfect. Very reasonably priced too. Staff were totally amazing and couldn't have made us more welcome. We are outside and they provided us with with blankets and heated seat pads. Yes, heated seat pads! 100% would recommend and make a return visit. Thank you Poco Pizzas!

My partner and I visit Lyme Regis regularly during the warmer months, and this time we decided to try Poco for a change — and we’re so glad we did! From the moment we walked up the stairs, we were warmly greeted by almost everyone, which instantly made us feel welcome and at ease. We were lucky enough to have a fantastic view overlooking the beach, and being sheltered from the seagulls was a lovely added bonus. The team at Poco couldn’t have been kinder — their friendly service and genuine care really stood out and made our visit extra special. The food was absolutely delicious: the pizza was phenomenal, full of flavour with a perfect base, and the garlic bread was honestly some of the best we’ve ever had. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Poco to anyone visiting Lyme Regis. Thank you so much for having us — we look forward to returning soon!

Delicious food with a view! We sat on the balcony and throughly enjoyed an antipasti to share for starters, then our pizzas which were both perfect.

We thought of going somewhere else, but the kids wanted pizza so we ended up going to Poco. Absolutely recommend it, the pizza is amazing, one of the best we’ve ever had (specifically the contadina - what a great combination of ingredients!). The tiramisu was excellent too, and the service was very good and really fast. Definitely recommended for pizza lovers.

My husband and I are regular customers to the bell cliff. We would like to give our huge emotional appreciation to the staff whilst a very upsetting incident was taking place on the next table to us. Tha situation was managed as best they could staff member CAZ was especially attentive towards me as I was very upset whilst this was being managed, Thankyou for caring. Our main concerns and thoughts are for the person who desperately needed help. Well done to you all

My wife and I visited in late July and both had their large breakfast, hash browns and black pudding was extra and my wife had a pot of tea and I had a coffee. The food was excellent and very hot and quick to come out, the bill however was shocking £39.50 for two breakfasts. Even in some superior establishments who manufacture their own Sausages and Bread for example don't even charge that much. As nice as it was I would certainly not return

We had a wonderful cream tea at the Bell Cliff. The staff were charming and we were able to sit overlooking the main street. We had really fresh warm scones and a very generous amount of clotted cream! Thoroughly recommend.

I went to this cafe with my mom in June. I asked for no mushrooms as I have an allergy and the staff rudely said I couldnt have removed I said I have an allergy and she went all food is cooked in same pan. I said but I have an allergy and she went well you will have to not eat them... she then went over to a man at back and he asked for no egg and she was nice as anything to him. Felt really unhappy at this Conduct. The food come and I had to take antihistamine. Was going to use again but after this we went to another establishment where was made to feel welcome. Shame as it looked a cute place to eat

Great experience. Super lovely and accommodating staff. Caz was great and getting us a table for 8 of us and brought out the kids food first. Very friendly chef. We always go to the Bell Cliff Restaurant when in Lyme Regis!

Wonder dining experience again. Found seating for 8 of us at very short notice. Food wonderful & thoroughly enjoyed by all the family. No hesitation to give the highest recommendation for the menu, courteous service by friendly staff etc etc. will be back next time we visit.!!!

Delicious full English breakfasts here- staff were friendly and put up with our big smelly dog coming in too!!

We went there on a wednesday night, and it was packed, we were lucky to get a table as two people were leaving. We had the Pad Thai and one of the coconut curries, both with vegetables, my husband's curry with egg fried rice. We both enjoyed our dishes, the vegetables were really nice, fresh and crispy and both dishes perfectly cooked. It was absolutely delicious. Shame we were just on holiday, we would definitely become regulars otherwise, but when we return to Lyme Regis we'll definitely dine there again.

We had the Mozzarella, Basil, and Tomato toasted sandwich, the Pad Kee Mao, and the Chunky Chips. All were lovely and tasty. Substantial too. Nice setting on the beachfront. Very good service too.

Absolutely love this place! The food is delicious and the view of the beach makes it even better. I ordered the Pad Med Ma Muang for the second time – it’s just so good! My uncle had the sea bass, which he couldn’t stop raving about (he even ate the bones!), and my aunty had the Thai noodles, which were also amazing. I’ve had the Pad Thai here before and highly recommend it. Honestly, even the cheese toasty was absolutely delicious if you’re in the mood for something simple. A must-visit if you’re in the area! 🌊🍜🐟

The best fish and chips! Large portion, great flavour. Didnt have any Thai dishes but they looked good on the menu. Lovely view across the bay as well. Highly recommended.

Had a delicious vegan meal here! All allergens were clearly listed on the menu. The service was quick and staff were really friendly. I would highly suggest booking as, even on a Thursday evening, it was a super buys place!

Came in without a booking on a very wet Good Friday! but was lucky to get a seat for 2. Booking in advance is advisable as it does get busy. Lovely little restaurant with a view, attentive staff & delicious food.

Best Thai restaurant in the best location . Oat the manager & June the waitress were brilliant as was the food . Would highly recommend. Right on the sea front in central position .

An interesting place, an interesting experience. The food was great, restaurant is run like a conveyor belt what is amazing in its own right. Thanks to that all with exception of the salad was fresh and flavoursome. Service as good as it can be in a place the size of a shoe box with people coming in and leaving every minute. Staff were friendly and talkative. It was a nice dinner and we would go back in again.

We ordered a take away and maybe we were just unlucky as the majority of the reviews are good. Therefore we also decided to order here. The dishes were ok, but nothing more. I asked on the phone for their spiciest dish and it turned out to be not even a bit spicy. We were really looking forward to one non fish dish in this nice village. Expectations not met.

Fantastic restaurant, lovely staff and lovely food. And what more, it's bring your own booze which keeps the drink prices fair!! I'll definitely come back 😄

Arrived at 7pm didn't book and advised no table until eight - fair enough. Phoned later for a takeaway food was ready on time. Good sized portions. Most Bangladeshi restaurants overcook prawns in the tandoor. This was no exception but they did much better than most. Shashlik was dyed red rather than plain but tasted okay. Would recommend but advise booking in the summer season. *** Updated to five stars as prawns much softer next day and with an extra £10 of supermarket additions we got nine meals out of it over three days for the three of us - so brillo value ***

Once given my order, I waited over 30 minutes, there was no spice at all. Never once was I asked how my food was. People coming in after me ordering a take out was served before me. NOT INTERESTED iN A WOMAN EATING On Her Own!!

The poppadoms were ok but then tonight's experience went downhill rapidly. The waiter serving seemed to be in a rush and as the lamb jalfrezi arrived sizzling away it went pop and smoke took over. There was little response from the waiting staff despite people choking due to the smoke affect. Doors were slowly opened and window finally opened by one of the patrons. There were four of us eating and initially only three plates arrived. At the end of the meal and when my uncle made his dissatisfaction known they didn't seem bothered, no offer of apology or discount. Due to the smoke effect there was a taste throughout the meal. Not impressed as someone from out of town visiting the place after a year

Spent weekend with some friends fishing and decided to try the local Bengali restaurant although I had some doubts. Was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and authentic flavours. Restaurant was very busy and staff very friendly and efficient. Ask for ‘Apna” style if you want something something more traditional with the caveat that it’s not hot. Enjoy.

Another visit…June 2023… the same quality food and drink. Good follow up to phone messages. Much enjoyed. Straightforward strongly recommend 👍 It’s a while since we we last visited, hasn’t changed a bit. Simple, straightforward Italian restaurant, very tasty, good quality food. This time around there were two young ladies ‘in charge’ front of house, both very friendly and efficient. Will ‘keep in mind’ and return again soon. PS Thanks for squeezing us in. Another visit, May, all good maybe less impressed with food for ££

We feel so lucky to have found this restaurant today. We had a bad experience with a pub that was highly rated in google the night before so we were hesitant at first to try it. It was fantastic! Everything was terrific. The high quality and freshness of the ingredients used shined through. My 7 year old daughter kept saying how her tagliatelle with bolognese was the best she ever had and requested I take a picture. My husband and I had fish/seafood dishes that were very fresh and delicious. My son said his pizza was perfect. We had a wonderful ending to a very exciting day.

Wonderful little gem of a restaurant, and the food is really excellent. Would definitely go back for more !!!

Fantastic staff, fantastic food, perfect price. Friendly and welcoming staff, makes for a perfect meal. Food really was out of this world. Hats off to them all. All in all clean, friendly and lovely food. What more could we ask for. Loved every second. And would eat again at this place in a heartbeat. John

Went in to order takeaway pizza. The waiters were friendly and happy to help! They told us the wait time so we went on a walk and came back. Worth the wait! The pizza tastes so fresh.

Staff absolutely great. Food was outstanding and everyone in our party of four had no complaints. Atmosphere needs a little soft music for the ambience. Only criticism, seat needs renewing.

Good variety of Italian dishes. In my opinion the Pizza is not their stong point, but the various pasta dishes are excellent. Wine good value. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Prices £££ May 2023. Nice Tagliatelle Fungi. Few places open this time of year, so very welcome to find this restaurant open on a Monday.

Well we went into the Volunteer inn they are very friendly and helpful. We spoke to owners, and found that are the 3rd generation, own it. The food is very good. The people that go in there are very helpful, the bar is not to big.so asked if there is another room which you sit down and have your food and drinks.

Great little pub just a short walk uphill from the main tourist area. Full of very friendly locals, serving well kept real ales and good pub food. There are two rooms , one on the left for food which is quieter but you can sit and drink there and the busy hub in on the right hand side. Service is really good and very friendly making you feel at home .

Cracking pub. Good selection of well-kept ales which frequently change, and in the colder months they even have a cask of house ale up in the bar. Lovely.

Cute cosy pub. Service was decent. BUT the food was v disappointing and left a lot to be desired… The menu on the website did NOT match what was actually available. TLDR; come for the drinks, leave for the food. My partner ordered the garlic chicken burger and could hardly taste the garlic. I ordered the slow cooked pork belly with roasted garlic potatoes. The potatoes were basically boiled and soft. The slow cooked pork was surprisingly tough for something“slow cooked”. It feels like a home cooked meal I could’ve made better. The only roasting in this place is this review.

If you like old style spit & sawdust pubs (like I do) this is the place to go. Good service, staff were really friendly. Prices very reasonable, we just drank, no food. Toilets could do with some attention (air freshener at least) Dog friendly, the furry kind. On the whole, an interesting place to spend a couple of hours.

Had to book a few days on advance to have a meal here. So pretty busy. Food was divine.

Quintessential pub, frequented by locals. So quaint, great range offered. Didn't eat on this occasion but food looked great.

I love, love, love Red Panda. Every time I am in Lyme Regis I have to go there and try delicious bao buns or delicious rice and salad boxes. My favourite is chicken. Sometimes I wish there were more meals in the day than just lunch and dinner. I love their salad too. Everything is so full of flavour and delicious. When I am not eating Red Panda meal, I am thinking about eating it. The service is also amazing, everyone is so super friendly. I would give 10 stars if I could. I could try to describe the flavours, but why describe it, just try it!

Amazing gut loving food!! We loved our salad boxes with chicken & pork and our 2 yo enjoyed his kids lunch box with chicken. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Red Panda is a cozy little beachside gem with just enough room to place your order and then find a spot outside to chow down. We grabbed a bench by a cannon from 1680—nothing like a side of history with your meal. I ordered two pork and two chicken bao buns, some Japanese pork ribs, and a smoothie, all for around £45. The bao buns were scrumptious, with a generous dose of delightful fattiness. The ribs were so perfect I almost proposed to them on the spot. The smoothie was fantastic too, though I wish it was sized for a bit more than a few sips. All in all, totally worth it, and I’d definitely go back for more ribs and history!

First time eating from here and been meaning to for ages. Should have tried it much earlier as the bao buns are amazing and the salad is very fresh that goes with it. Am sure the rice dishes would be equally as appetising.

What can I say about the ‘Super Salad’ with chicken satay other than fantastic 👍. Worth every penny of the £10:75. Hot and spicy complimented perfectly with slices of melon.

I’d rate it more than 5 star if I could! This was the most delicious bao bun I’ve ever tried, so packed full of flavour. I had the teriyaki tofu bao bun with the salad box. The salad was super tasty and crunchy and absolutely full of flavour. A lovely takeaway healthy lunch. It was so tasty we went back the next day to have it again as we couldn’t stop thinking about it! Will definitely be back next time we’re in the area.

Great little find for delicious street food. The Bao buns were the best I’ve had, full of fresh filling and the meat just melts in your mouth. I went back and ordered another it was so yummy. Salad was great too with a plethora or flavours and so fresh. Friendly staff and happy to help. Definitely need a return visit

Delicious steak pasty and generous portions of salad and coleslaw. Fab latte that stated hot till I'd finished my food. Naturally friendly staff and Sam Cooke in the background. So glad I chose this lovely warm friendly cafe to refresh myself in.

Walked past Good Food and saw the huge selection of vegan cakes and pasties in the window so called for takeaway coffee and cake. The coffee is served in 100% compostable cups which is great. We chose a piece of vegan apple cake and a vegan peanut butter brownie. The cakes were scrumptious probably the best peanut butter brownie ever and with the excellent coffee sat overlooking the sea in the sunshine it was a perfect start to the day. They had different vegan pasties (about 4 I think), two kinds of vegan pies in the cabinet, a vegan sandwich and vegan milkshakes. Service was really friendly. We had a quick chat with the lady owner who with her husband only took the business over in June, they're doing a great job. Highly recommended.

Absolutely brilliant,. I come to lyme regis every year, and always buy pasties, cheese scones, and Dorset apple cake, which is to die for. I'm from Devon, so pasties are in my veins, but these are on the top for taste. When I go in always get welcoming staff. Staff very helpful and happy. Great Customer service is very important in a business, and they have it in abundance. Well done. 😊

Busy cafe serving a good variety of snacks and lunches. The cream tea was lovely. It doesn't have many tables but the turnover is quick so it is worth hanging around for a few minutes or popping back

Staff is very friendly. Drinks arrived straight away following by our delicious meals. Thank you! Happy to return and recommend this lovely place! 👍😎

I was passing this on a whim a couple of years back on a visit to Lyme Regis and was graced by the Dark chocolate tiffin in the window. Upon purchasing and eating it, I didn't shut up about said tiffin for over a year to my partner. We just had a trip to Cornwall from Norfolk and on our return I purposely drove out of our way to stop by here and stock up on the tiffin 😂 absolutely the right decision, whoever makes these deserves a medal! 🏅 Superb, thanks. 👍

Really friendly staff and delicious home prepared food. Had curried chick pea with spinach and squash pasties with home made slaw, chutney & salad options,The portions were perfect. Lots of veggie and vegan options are available

Called in on a busy Saturday evening, staff were busy but very accommodating, fitted us in for food with no problems . Food was excellent

Booked in for Sunday carvery as we had missed out on previous visits to Lyne Regis through its popularity. We were not dissapointed. In fact far from it. One of the best, if not the best, we have had wherever we have been in the country. We were welcomed by friendly staff. Beef, gammon & turkey were the meats on offer and a wide selection of veg. It was all very tasty and surprisingly the offer was to help ourselves for extra, if you had room!! A variety of sweet courses provided but we both had the apple & plum crumble, homemade and with fruit from the villagers. It did not disappoint. A very good helping and also goes down as the best we've ever had out. We were on the second of two sittings at 2pm. So overall 10/10 and we will visit again when next in Lyme.

One of the best Sunday lunch carveries I’ve ever had — and I’ve had a lot! Three perfectly cooked meats, and unusually, they let you go back for seconds. I don’t eat veg but there was loads of it, and the rest of my group were seriously impressed. Friendly, welcoming staff and great value. I’d genuinely consider the drive up from Plymouth just to eat here again.

A great place to stay. The chalet rooms are spacious warm, and away from noise. The meals generous and definitely home cooked. Steve and Wendy very friendly and helpful, ideal hosts. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The bar decor is a bit tired, but the pub closed for a fortnight of redecoration after my stay, which should sort this.

OMG pie night is to die for. Huge and delicious pie, loads of veg and chips or new potatoes. Gorgeous.

5 of us had the roast dinner today. Amazing. Super value, gorgeous food and great atmosphere. I had a bit of everything, beef rump, turkey and the gammon was to die for. Rounded off with apple and plum crumble and custard.

Vistited on Thursday 11th September around 5.30 pm for dinner and a couple of drinks. Everything was spot on, great friendly and professional service from the bar / waiting staff, food was absolutely delicious best steak and ale pie I've had for many years, my wife chose the fish pie which was also amazing and my son enjoyed his sausages and chips. The Otter Ale was perfect, as smooth as silk. Really good to see a small village pub doing so well and maintaining such high standards, keep up the good work, Many thanks, hope to visit again and highly recommend to all.

Had a fabulous evening here on a recommendation and it did not disappoint. The warmth and welcome of the place was fantastic and despite not having booked, we were made very welcome (a party of 19 was about to turn up at any minute as well) The staff were engaging, knowledgeable and polite. Owners Ed and Giselle were charming and our waitress, Emma from Manchester was great fun.) The food – small Tapas plates, was amazing. The Pig Cheeks with Prunes and Sherry, Chicken Skewers with Micro Herbs and Yoghurt, Cod Cheeks in Tomato Sauce and the Canaries Style potatoes with Mojo-Rojo Sauce – were delicious. The Burnt Cheesecake with Cinnamon Apples to finish was divine – you must try to pay them a visit.

Wonderful food- all fresh and super tasty. Need to book in advance as a popular place. Would highly recommend.

A great place tucked away in a courtyard next to the Mill House. Fantastic service and really good coffee at sensible prices. Some tasty looking cakes on the counter also! Seats both inside and outside. If we ever return to Lyme Regis we'll be sure to eat here as it was so welcoming and unpretentious.

Came here for the Spanish tapas cookery class and lunch. Ran by the chef owner directly. This is an absolute must. We like to cook anyway but we learnt some fantastic new ideas and cookery tips and we all ate lunch together enjoying what we had just created. Plenty left to take home too. What a fabulous and special place the owners have created. Their knowledge and love of Spanish style food and wine shines through when they speak. 10/10 experience. Thank you. We will definitely be returning!

Attended a Tapas Cookery class. Ed & Giselle were wonderful hosts, it was a very relaxed, fun and (most importantly) delicious day. Have recommended the experience to several people as gifts. Perfect way to spend a Sunday.

I would have missed this place completely, as it’s in between the two main shopping streets in town, and boy would I have been missing a treat. With its delicious (very authentic) tapas and fabulous cocktails, this cosy little restaurant is well worth a visit. Charming staff too. The Prawns pil-pil were the highlight for me…I felt like I was back in Spain…but my wife enjoyed the croquetas more…but everything was good. This will be top of my list for next time we’re in Lyme Regis…and I will probably try to sync up my visit with one of their cooking classes - I’ve always felt scared to try making paella but I would bet that fear will evaporate after a class here.

Undertook a Paella Cooking Course - what a fantastic day! The instructional process is relaxed, informative and fun, one of the best cookery courses I have experienced. Ed and Giselle are both passionate and enthusiastic about Spanish cooking, which comes across in abundance during the course. Highly recommended. will definitely book another Spanish cooking experience as well as booking a table for dinner.

Great coffee and lunch spot in Lyme. Family (& dog) friendly. We were welcomed with a smile and it felt friendly and cosy straight away. We had the soup and the chorizo hash which were delicious, whilst our 3yr old had half a sandwich portion. The coffee was also very good. The café had such a nice vibe and the owner(I think!) couldn't do enough for us. Highly recommend 👌🏻

Yes, I've left a review before, but it warrants another. Cannot recommend Giants enough - everything is always 10/10, the food, the service, the atmosphere and, most important of all, the music. I've tried multiple things on the menu, all delicious, but I'm fully obsessed with the fritters/avo salsa/poached eggs - it never misses! Managed to squeeze in three visits across a four day trip home to Lyme, thats how good this place is See you next month Tom and Team!

I loved this lovely 😍 little cafe. Never got to try it last time we visited Lyme Regis. Got there not long after it had opened but it quickly filled up so get there early or reserve a table. The guy 👦 that ws serving was welcoming and made the best Flat White I have ever had! Even my husband commented on it. At the time I wasn't hungry so I never had anything to eat. On hindsight I should have bought something to take with me. Reasonable prices. Quirky decor comfortable seating. Also had a covered outdoor seating out the back. My only negative is that the toilet 🚻 didn't have enough privacy. What they had to cover the door wasn't adequate. I would totally recommend this place but get there early to avoid disappointment.

So good, so beautiful, great staff, lovely place… we had a great breakfast and delicious coffee.

Beautiful breakfast and amazing coffee! What more could you want?! Great, friendly service too! Come and seek out this little gem and you’ll have a lovely time.

Well worth the small detour uphill. Food is absolutely delicious and not your standard fair. Homemade cakes are fabulous too, leave some room to enjoy a slice. Quirky and utterly charming with lovely staff and owner

Really lovely spot. We only had a coffee and a bit of cake, but it was delicious. The staff were so lovely and welcoming and the decor is really cool. The menu looks amazing, so we will definitely be back for more!

We returned to the Alexandra Hotel last week having stayed on two previous occasions in the family apartments with our three boys. This time was a trip for two to celebrate our Silver Wedding anniversary. It did not disappoint! What a treat to wake up to a view of Lyme Bay every morning. The room was comfy, stylish and extremely clean. I have high standards! The staff were welcoming, friendly and professional. Nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was a veritable feast to start the day! We celebrated our anniversary with friends in the Conservatory restaurant. Delicious fresh local ingredients. Highly recommended! We loved sitting in the library with a newspaper and soaking up the sea air in the gardens. Truly the best way to wind down and relax. We cannot wait for our next visit!

We stayed at this hotel for two nights for a close friends 60th party. The hotel is lovely, a lot of character with great sea views, amazing garden and short walk down onto beach. Our room was not the cheapest offered which raises the question, how small are the rest?! Not so much the room which was small but the bathroom which was one in one out can’t shut the door when sat on the loo type of small. We were in Room 1 - went back to room at about 11-11.30pm and all was in darkness. I know there are children staying with family but seriously. No staff for help when our room key was wrong. Called the number and two gents (who knows where they came from) arrived and let us in - no words uttered at all! It appears the very pleasant lady that showed us to the room gave us the wrong key (room 2). This begs the question, were we put in the wrong room for the money, I hope so. I won’t be going back for that price whoever good the location is. Breakfast was fine. When I asked for bottle of Prosecco at the end of the afternoon and was given a (lovely) but much more expensive bottle of English sparking wine from Dorset I feel they had taken advantage of me when the bar had been paid by my friend.

My parents and I enjoyed a wonderful recent stay at the Alexandra Hotel in Lyme Regis - We had such a lovely time. Everything oozed of quality and we enjoyed every moment of our experience at this wonderful hotel! The customer service and attention to detail is of the highest standards. Quite simply, everything was 'faultless.' I look forward to another stay soon. Best Wishes Grant

We’ve always wanted to stay at ‘The Alex’ due to its unique location so hopes were high. It’s no exaggeration to say that those high hopes were not only met but exceeded. We had a sea view room which was beautifully decorated and had a view that was hypnotic. The terrace was a beautiful place to relax- the scent of the wisteria was wonderful and we were very inspired by the gardens, especially the water features (blackbird jacuzzi). We thought breakfast was very high quality and the service was run impeccably. Most of all, the staff made it truly special- very friendly and warm. It was a very special stay - thank you.

We had a lovely one night stay at Alexandra Hotel. We'd booked parking so arrival was easy. Despite arriving at 1pm, we were shown to our room, and had an upgrade seaview. The welcome was warm, and the room was beautiful and with great amenities. We only had cocktails but the restaurant looked great. Breakfast was very good. We had wished we were staying more than one night but next time we are in Lyme Regis, we will choose this wonderful, family run hotel.

Gorgeous old hotel, fabulous views over the Sea. The food was always excellent and the bar refreshing! Could do with an old hand showing the younger staff how it works behind the ramp but they were all lovely, really helpful and kind. Will be back! x

We did not stay we had a meal that was good but not amazing. The setting is brilliant with amazing views. Would have loved to be offered a coffee perhaps even a port and cheese but it felt like the restaurant wanted to close and needed us to leave at 9pm.

This place was honestly stunning. We were sat on the only big table in the place, so already felt special, but the service was sublime - extremely attentive, but at the same time relaxed and fun. As the food came out, we were talked through the dishes and different ingredients (as a lot of them were foraged by the staff), so unlike any restaurant I've ever been to, you got to interact directly with the chefs, which was great, especially as they were all so nice. The food itself was utterly delicious and had loads of new and unusual (in a good way) flavours. Nothing was not an absolute delight to eat. We were also there for hours, but at no point made to feel rushed. We will definitely come back here. Amazing restaurant.

We dined at Robyn Wylde in December 2021 (just got round to writing the review!) and had the most wonderfully amazing meal. The tasting menu is exceptional, using locally sourced produce and all cooked to perfection. We went for the wine pairing too, which was also great. Fantastic service from all the team, all very knowledgeable regarding the food and wines being served. Harriet interacted with every diner at the end of the meal, which is lovely to see. Thank you all for one of the most memorable meal experiences I have had! I look forward to returning.

Incredible food, outstanding service and an amazing 4 hour dining experience unlike any other! Delicious flavours and textures cleverly created to deliver an exquisite and unique tasting menu. Thank you to Harriet and her team for an exceptional evening.

Such an amazing experience, such a gem! Good honest food. Very delicious and touching all your senses! Definitely recommend. Not cheap but for sure worth while! We have taken the wine pairing once, but in all honesty could not keep up with it (too much), so will not do it again, but was very nice in combination with the dishes.

Seasonally, locally sourced ingredients that have been expertly cooked and presented. We had a fantastic meal at Robin Wylde and enjoyed the novelty they bring to cuisine and the area. Be sure to ask about their homemade kombuchas and where they source their ingredients (all local to to area). Expert Tip: request one of the tables against the wall, as there’s no switching once you’ve been assigned a place.

Sublime tasting menu celebrating the agricultural gifts of the region. Perfect rhythm and evolution of flavours. Wine pairing was just right and surprisingly pleasant given the dominance of local English wines. The beetroot soup was particularly sublime, as was the starting sourdough bread with mussel butter. My favourite was the kale and crab salad. Would love to revisit

Absolutely fantastic restaurant - not one to miss if you are visiting, one of my favourite meals ever

Bought the vegan sausage rolls, the gazillianair’s and pecan pies. My family loved the desserts and wow the vegan sausage rolls were absolutely lovely. Had a great chat with the guy serving who had a great sense of humour. I’ll be back!

Wow! Best pasty I’ve ever had and at a reasonable price too. So nice to see a family run store with children helping their mom this made the bakery for us. The coffees were reasonably priced and lovely and the cakes all homemade! Little gem will definitely be returning.

Tasty!! We bought a large sausage roll, cheese and onion scotch egg and a cheese and beef pasty. The pastries were really tasty! The fillings full of flavour. I'm shocked at some of these reviews, as the majority of similar businesses we have tried have been very mediocre! Very glad we came across it! The young lady that served us was extremely polite and helpful!

10/10 would recommend! The best cheese and onion pasty in my life (and I've had many), amazing vegan sausage roll. Pecan tart was also delicious Service was great, they were all really friendly and gave great advice on the seagulls!

We tried custard tart and steak pastry, both are delicious. The old couple is friendly.

The best traditional pasty there ever was! We had all varieties of pasty which were delicious and also some gorgeous cakes for after! Well worth a visit to this bakery over the larger chained ones!

Absolutely delicious. Best pasties we've ever had. Gorgeous flaky pastry with plenty of filling and perfectly seasoned. We can also recommend the scotch eggs and Dorset apple cake. Would highly recommend.

Had a fabulous night here along with our golden retriever Monty. Carrie made sure that everything was arranged perfectly and ensured our stay went smoothly. The surprise Welcome pack for Monty was much appreciated! We made full use of the pool , jacuzzi and sauna. Clean and perfect relaxation. Breakfast was delicious . We recommend visiting the marina theatre very close by for enjoying a drama production. Thank you we hope to be back !

Had a very nice family feel about this hotel which was built in 1600s. Food was excellent both at breakfast and in the bar/restaurant. Very convenient for the beach at Lyme Regis and all the shops.Staff very polite and friendly. Very quick service at breakfast. Only thing extra I would have liked was fresh fruit like strawberries and blueberries. There was melon, grapefruit, bananas, and tinned peaches. Shower in our room needed updating as very slow flow and too close to the wall to wash my hair.

What a wonderful hotel, friendly and efficient staff, beautiful room, fabulous view, delicious breakfast, could not find a fault. Prime location in Lyme Regis, close to the harbour and shops. Lovely pub atmosphere, loafs of character. Free parking too. Also one of the best room tariff in town. Special mention to manager Sharon who was the perfect host. We'll be coming back.

We had a fabulous 2-night stay at the Royal Lion. We had different rooms each night. The ‘comfy’ room on night one was v small with a window onto the central outside walkway. It wasn’t really what we thought we’d booked and Sharon on reception was absolutely superb and found us an alternative and most lovely room for our second night. All the staff were wonderful, and the food and drink (especially the breakfast) were superb. Thoroughly recommend though the inside facing comfy rooms are small and a bit dim. Thank you again to Sharon for excellent customer service.

Walked in off the street thinking this was a nice looking pub where we might get a decent meal. Wow, it's a very smart hotel with an excellent dining menu. Between us, we had the pork tomahawk and the blue cheese burger. The pork was deliciously succulent and perfectly cooked, and the accompanying veg were spot on. The burger was top notch, wonderfully beefy and enough blue cheese to complement, but not overpower. We really weren't expecting such excellent food and it was a nice surprise to have such a great meal. It seems sadly rare these days to find somewhere like this, with food cooked by a chef that understands how important seasoning is and clearly is very good at what they do. Couple this with the friendly staff who were courteous and helpful from the moment we walked in, it all amounted to an outstanding experience. Do not leave Lyme Regis without eating here!

A haven away from the hustle of a digitally driven world. A stone’s throw from the sea front, settle into traditional coziness with great quality food & drink and lovely people looking after you. A living example of being three hours and thirty years away from London - which is an entirely wonderful thing.

This was our 3rd visit to The Royal Lion Hotel in 3 years running. Absolutely lovely hotel with plenty of shops and things to do on the door step. Very short walk to the beach. The staff are brilliant and very helpful. Rooms are clean and tidy with everything you need. The pool is nice, plus snooker table and other activities. All in all I highly recommend staying. We will be back next year.

The food, views and service were perfect. Seafood was so fresh! We had hake with potatos and salad and it was fabulous. Daughter had unlimited chips (which were lovely quality) , it really made her happy ;) fisherman’s coffee was delicious!

Wow so delicious! And such a beautiful space. You can get amazing sea views from every seat. The service was fab despite how incredibly busy it was and the atmosphere was lovely. The staff worked really hard and there weren’t many of them considering how busy it was - they were fab! Definitely a treat meal but you won’t be disappointed! I’m from Essex so was glad to see Leigh on sea cockles especially :D

I've eaten at quite a few Rockfish restaurants. Always a fantastic experience & food. The staff at Lyme Regis were personable, attentive & professional. Food was absolutely delicious & well presented. I'll definitely be booking a table again when I'm back at Lyme Regis!

We had looked forward to Rockfish arriving in Lyme but waited until the team had settled before visiting. Situated in the old Hix building overlooking the beach. This is an exposed location and if there is bad weather you are best to get a taxi or a lift to the door. Holmbush carpark nearby is free 6-10pm. Great views if you are seated close to a window. We have visited on 3 occasions over the last couple of months. Two at a weekend and once during midweek. Our first visit was a little disappointing. Cold chips were presented with mains. These were quickly replaced. No finger bowl with mussels. I initially thought that this was due to the small tables but they were provided to other tables. The Fish is excellent and if this is your main reason for attending you will not be disappointed. The chips are advertised as unlimited but they appear to be simply frozen chips. You are better off with new potatoes. Starters and deserts are varied and are generally very good. I was surprised to see prawns that were not cleaned. Limited beer selection with expensive cans/bottles the only option. Wine is okay but a little pricey. The service team are really good. Attentive and friendly. Quick to deal with concerns. Our best experience was midweek. Super hot food and beautifully cooked. An enjoyable experience for sure but it sits in a specific spot in the culinary establishment given the limitations with the drinks menu, poor chips and potential higher costs.

Cannot recommend this place highly enough. The staff were delightful, so friendly and helpful, the food was sublime. The wine was delicious. We had the brill and the hake and chips. Would definitely make a return visit.

We had a fantastic meal here - the food was excellent, the Rockfish beer and cider were also really good. We had a view looking over Lyme Regis Harbour at sunset which was just so beautiful. The staff were attentive and efficient and I would love to come again when back on holiday. Thank you to all the team!

Loved my John Dory, very tender and elegant indeed, so good is outstanding. Great views. Service is a bit fake-smile trained, but with this fish it’s still 5/5

We came in for an early dinner (5.30pm on a Sat) as it was a bit chilly outside to eat takeaway fish and chips on the beach. They happily accommodated a group of 9 is us and a dog, just pushing together tables so we were all together. The service was really good with friendly staff, the food was all really fresh with puffy, light batter on the fish but the chicken goujons were a bit dry. We had 3 children with us and they had some games and colouring crayons which kept them entertained. It hasn't got nice views like some of the sea front places but was more reasonably priced. When we left there was a nice buzz to the place. Would definitely go again.

Booked for a 2pm Sunday Lunch with some friends. We arrived on time with a very warm welcome, tried the beers and took them through to the back where our table was. We ordered Sunday roast - beef and chicken plus some red wine (Shiraz) between us. The ambience was nice and the waitress plus chef nice also, however it did take ña out an hour to actually arrive. The quality and quantity was excellent. It cost us >£30 each which is not cheap.

This pub is excellent had fish n chips here cheaper than a takeaway some of the best I had. Lovely old building and the staff were so welcoming. Already recommended them to other people travelling in area. Hope to visit again.

JUNE 2023 … multiple visits. Drinking 🍺 and eating. 😎 weather days, was very lively. Young, energetic, friendly staff. We had catch of the day.. Mussels with potatoes.. worked well. Tasty. Proper pub… QUIZ NIGHT Wednesday evening. Lively. Short and sweet… met up with a local couple of friends at the Ship Inn and we suffered a ‘breakdown in communication’ they’d eaten and we hadn’t 😳. The lovely landlady feeling sorry for us (as they had no chef on that evening) let us bring in Fish, chips and mushy peas from the Lyme Fish Bar opposite. Much appreciated. Very tasty IPA 🍺 proper local pub 👍😊👏🍺. Quality landlady 👍

Popped in at lunch, my son Ordered sandwiches and chips and two soft drinks which were £4 each !. Took 25 mins to arrive and when asked why so long barman said there was only two of them on duty. Sandwich was just about passable but no chips as stated and a few greens thrown on with crisps ! We should have gone to chippy over the road !!!

Absolutely disgusting. Ordered haddock and chips with mushy peas X3 and a ploughnans. The fish was tiny and rick hard and we was given scampi because only childrens fish left. Not asked if we would like that just given it after waiting for 45 mins. The ploughman's was pathetic a few leaves with a slice of ham and a slice of cheese with bread and butter no crusty roll just bread and butter. At £13 for a ploughman's and 15 each for the fish I got a refund. The rest just ate the scampi and left the very hard fish. Very poor communication feel sorry for the lad working the bar on his own

Perhaps the quintessential local pub. Lyme has a number of good pubs but this friendly no frills pub on Coombe Street opposite the fish and chips is perfect for having a sit and a drink. No food is served here but stay a while and you may just forget what it was you were supposed to do.

Such a great little spot, whether you’re staying here or just in for a drink. The staff are friendly. The room was lovely. The balcony is nearly as big as the room and has a wonderful view. Really great.

Very nice, the room was amazing, clean and very comfortable. The view from the balcony is amazing, very sunny beautiful morning to wake up to. Dan in the pub was very friendly, welcoming and looked after us. Totally recommended and would stay again. Easy free parking just up the hill

Decent rooms, well provisioned, staff friendly. There was a bit of noise from the small road early in the morning. Perhaps suggest bringing earplugs if a light sleeper or the Pub provide a coupe disposable sets. Otherwise a nice stay, thanks!

Nags Head Lyme Regis. What an amazing Oasis! Great selection of ales and beers, welcoming staff, Mark, Molly and Ellie provided excellent service. If you’re in two minds where to eat, then this is the place for you. Great food, well presented and at a very reasonable price. If you’re a family then the Nags Head is what you’re looking for. Added bonus is that they are the only ones in Lyme Regis with Sky Sports. Don’t take my word, come and visit.

Found this pub when searching for an alternative to the overpriced tourist centred offering in the town centre. The Nags Head is a short walk from town up the steep Silver Street. It is just like your favourite home local, with sensibly priced real ales, mainly Otter Ale and Otter Bitter, and reasonably priced food. Don't let the TV screens put you off, mostly the sound is low and unobtrusive and choice of channel down to the customers. All in all just like your local at home with friendly staff and locals.Well worth the walk up the hill. Also a pool table and useable dartboard.

We were looking for somewhere to eat in Lyme Regis but put off by the high prices.However its half the price at under a tenner for a main meal here. Drinks very reasonably priced too. Watch out for the special deals for even more value. Friendly chap at bar and the locals.

Clean and large rooms. Easy access even when the pub is closed so that’s not a worry. Keep in mind it’s up a very steep hill if you have mobility issues. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

We recently spent a night here with our dog. It's a lovely hotel run by lovely people. They gave us a sea view room. The room was nicely decorated with a very comfy bed. The breakfast the next morning was amazing and beautiful cooked. If I had to be picky, the main part of the hotel might need a lick of paint but I liked the atmosphere of it. Would definitely stay here again.

Great hotel just out from the bustling throng of the Lyme Broad Street. Stayed for 3 nights.Easy parking just over the road and if you know your Lyme it's an absolute must! Greeted by super staff. Room was clean, super shower, plenty of hot water, complimentary biscuits, tea coffee and hot chocolate. Very quiet room with a super view out to sea. Great breakfast with a good choice of food and plenty of coffee! Next time we are visiting we must try the restaurant.

Had a delicious breakfast at the Mariners Hotel! We weren’t staying as guests but they are open to the public for breakfast too! Beautiful sea views. Lovely friendly staff. Very good priced breakfast which included tea/coffee juice and continental! We will definitely be back! 🩷

Lovely quaint hotel. The twin room was clean with comfortable beds. We stayed one night. Positioned at the top of the hill, close to main shops and a short walk to the beach. The food was outstanding. Fantastic presentation and beautiful flavours. Helpful staff, great chef. Well worth the walk up the hill just for dinner even if you are not staying overnight.

Just came back home from a weekend away. Very welcoming and friendly, especially to my dog. Nice breakfast, clean rooms, great service, approachable and accommodating for all. Would definitely recommend, especially for dog owners and would 100% come back. Thank you for your great service and good luck 👍

Only stayed for one night (03/10/25-04/10/25). Great place to stay and it is in walking distance to Lyme Regis town centre. Excellent customer service from the manager Gemma, who went out of her way to help no matter how busy she was. No problems with the room from what I could see, everything was fine. We also had a sea view. Breakfast and dinner was excellent. Free car parking at the hotel. I would definitely recommend staying here and look forward to staying here again sometime in the future. Thanks again Gemma for looking after us.

Stayed overnight due to car issues. Made to feel welcome on arrival. Room was clean and comfortable allowing a great night's sleep. Evening meal and breakfast we're exceptional. Gemma the manager is a absolute star running absolutely everything. Will definitely return.

Cute and quirky cafe that serves good barista coffee and light cafe meals and cakes, including vegan options. The coffee was good, but the chocolate fudge cake was a little dry and crumbly. Seating is all inside and there's no outdoor view worth seeing, but inside they have board games to play and a children's section giving the place some additional character.

Went there at closing, and the staff were as friendly as if they'd just opened. Not been to this chain before, but would recommend it. Offered a good range of coffee and treats, with some lovely vegan and gluten free options. It isn't a large place, and I would imagine it would get full very quickly at a busier time. It has its own style, and it definitely suits the setting of Lyme Regis. It's as nice as any other cafe chain, and has similar prices. Better then most for it cake options.

Aroma is such a great little cafe. All the cakes are gluten free!! So much choice for everyone!

Popped in as was looking around area, very quirky & definitely relaxing we had a delicious hot chocolate with cream scones then to follow a lovely coffee Staff are excellent so polite & welcoming definitely recommend anyone to visit.

Great little coffee shop and cafe. Very tasty cake - enjoyed it.

Amazing! We went to the museum so used our 10% off voucher. the quality and quantity of food is definitely value for money. Very child friendly menu also good value. We definitely will be using this cafe again on our next visit. left feeling full and happy, lovely friendly staff that put our toddlers lunch in a takeaway bag as she wouldn't eat anything they where very accommodating. Thank you 😀

Excellent cafe. Teas and coffees really good, but it is the food, decor and staff that make it so great. Had cakes and lunch over a couple of visits, all of which were really lovely. Plus there were plenty of good vegan options. Staff were so friendly and my kids loved the area set aside for them indoors to play.

Absoluteley a lovely little cafe. We had breakfast here. Supertasty. The place is a 50 years dream😎. Supernice staff. A place you must try when here in Lyme. We realy enjoyed our visit!

Had to readjust the review to a 5*... Warmly welcomed as we entered we managed to find a seat (gets really busy). All the cups and saucers matched and ask the decor around the little cafe was well done... Food was lovely and a nice sized tea pot so we could at least get a few drinks out of it 👍👍

Amazing cafe tucked behind the Post office on Lyme Regis high street, lovely friendly staff and owners with a great atmosphere and homemade cakes and specials available all-day. Next time I must try their banana milkshake 😋

Loved our visit here. The coffee was so nice. The service is friendly and quick considering everything is fresh and made to order. The garden is a great entrap, they have umbrellas for shade. It's dog friendly too. Its behind a Great little shop full of curios interesting post office. Will definitely return

Lovely little cafe tucked away behind the post office! Staff are wonderfully lovely and the coffee is delicious!

We past a Costa's on the high street on our way. Why would you go to a chain when a lovely and friendly cafe like this is just up the road? A little hard to find, down and alley and through a fossil shop. Worth finding. Great service with a smile and good value. Also some gluten free options.

Used to go there every week 6 of us lovely place to meet. Then the owner wouldn't turn music down so we couldn't talk to each other.I have met lots of other regulars with the same problem at another venue. It's a shame music is more important than happy customers

Beautifully bright and colourful little café on the seafront, let down by somewhat grumpy staff. We’ve been coming to Lyme for years but never tried here before as they always seem to close really early. Went in at 2:30 on a hot sunny day and didn’t realise until checking online later that they close at 3pm. Although when we walked past on the way back to our car around 5 ish one of the men was still there so maybe they do stay open later when it’s a nice day. Either way we felt really unwelcome like they were irritated by our presence, bear in mind we were literally the only 2 customers they had. We were told they could only do a couple of sandwiches or small things like tea cakes. Which was fine we only wanted a quick bite. Crab baguette expensive of course but not surprising and you do get quite a lot for that, although it is simply mixed crab meat in a baguette, but you do get a small side salad you can add. Tea cakes were large also. Hot chocolate pretty standard. You can help yourself to water inside. All in all pretty standard café food and drink and unbothered cold staff but beautifully decorated and in great position on the beach with lots of seating outside. I wouldn’t rule out returning as I am interested to try their shakshukas or cooked breakfasts.

Fantastic place! Great breakfast menu, really good, tasty food and dog friendly. The staff were so very friendly and vibrant.

I came on holiday with my 7 year old son for Easter holidays. We love this cafe. The food is really delicious , atmosphere is great and my son loved the food as well. The food is also healthy and really nice and hot, when needed. We went there a number of times and we will be back as it was really yummy , plus I could eat healthily .Loved it !!!

Absolutely superb. Lovely shakshuka and the friendliest service imaginable. Well worth a visit! Also, the cake servings are so large they come with their own postcode.

Lovely breakfast on a beautiful sunny September day. We had Salmon Royale and Avocado Feta and eggs on chilli bread. Lush. Popular and very busy. Staff very organised. Friendly service.

Highly recommended. A gem of a little dog friendly cafe right on the beachfront. Great menu. The Shakshuka was wonderful. The owner and the staff are delightful and so welcoming.

Where to start. Staff very unwelcoming and rude. Had to pay before receiving food and drinks to which one of the items never showed up and upon asking for this to be refunded we were rudely told "would you not have left us that as a tip?" Definitely not! Tables were dirty and service was slow. Food arrived at different times and without cutlery - when we asked if we could get some we were told to go inside to get. Went inside but there was only 1 fork and knife so asked for more and they just filled the tray up instead of bringing to our table. Waiter didnt know which was the cows milk latte and soya latte - luckily it was a preference and not an intolerance. Felt like staff didn’t want to be there. Great location but unfortunately staff really let this place down.

Slipway is an amazing corner shop with good customer service and reasonable priced products

Sells everything you need for a great day at the beach from inflatables, ice cream, postcards and souvenirs to sun cream, alcohol, hot and cold drinks, newspapers and swimwear.

Excellent little place, friendly staff

Perfect shop for all your beach and crabbing supplies. Great for holiday gifts, too. Highly recommended

Great shop for souvenirs like fridge magnets postcards and beach stuff plus friendly girl behind the counter and sells newspapers and soft drinks I went here today and looked around and brought some postcards and a fridge magnet and also next to the lifeboat Station and the cobb would recommend my favourite shop i have visited in lyme regis today

Very helpful. I had forgotten to buy postcards when in Lyme Regis but they made a good selection for me and sent them quickly and efficiently

Great little gift shop for presents for friends and family. Good service and friendly staff

Clean, stylish, fabulous hosts and near to the beach.

Lovely house. Was very clean and close to beach.

Good basic food good price.Dog friendly.

Great little apartment and close to town centre

I was really looking forward to my Mother's Day lunch. Sadly, the service was terrible. When you ask for salt & pepper, you kind of need it before you've finished your food, but it didn't arrive at all because "the ramekins are in the dishwasher". The cod was bland. The crab sandwich sparse. The oysters and drinks were good but pricey. The view was great on a sunny Sunday. Definitely not returning. I definitely do not recommend, not at those prices.

Tom's fish and Chips are the best that I've had in all of U.K. Its his batter. He could be a millionaire just selling his lite, flaky crispy batter. Highly recommend. And ask for the hot toddy with heated rum and cranberry juice with a good bit of lime juice. So delicious.

Great seaside vibe, as Tom's is on the path overlooking tgevmain beach in Lyme Regis. Staff are very "on-it"! The minimum is virtually all fish and seafood but for some goat's cheese and a very expensive beef steak. I had oysters - my first time and I was impressed. My next meal was breaded line caught catch of the day, which was haddock - and chips. I'm not a big sea food eater but the rest of thexparty were and they enjoyed the scallops, bream and monkfish. There's a good atmosphere here too. We sat inside but there are tables outside under an awning. Around £50 a head, including starters and drinks. Would recommend.

We had a nice experience here. The views are amazing on the seafront. The Oysters were fresh and delicious. I had surf and turf. I wish I had spoken up at the time about the half lobster that had little meat in it. For some reason filled with a mild curry sauce? I presumed to obscure the lack of actual lobster. What meat there was was mealy and unpleasant. The rest of the meal, wine, and desert and swrvice were very goid however.

Bit pricey, but to be expected for the location on the beach. The food was very good quality though and tasty, just the eggs could have been better. But don’t worry, no one does eggs like me 😂 very good I enjoyed it thanks

Absolutely excellent dinner in this great seaside restaurant. Had the early bird menu - crab croqueta, fish curry then chocolate garden all were exceptional - full of flavour and beautifully presented. Great service too. Could not recommend more highly.

Lovely polite staff. Great coffee and the best Bakewell Tart I’ve ever had. Great service, lovely coffee and amazing cakes. Well done. We will return.

Good fish and chips, nice light batter. Portions are small and peas are a pricey extra! Would go again.

One of the BEST fish n chips we've had in a very long time. The chips was magically good and crispy. Don't waste your mony elsewhere if you are after some good food.

A small restaurant just off the main circuit of Broad Street and Bridge Street. Though it has an extensive burger menu go for the fish and chips they are premier league. Lightest of batter with proper chips. Everything is cooked to order so none of this fish sitting in the warmer for ages. It was a quiet evening towards end of summer season so couldn't really give more stars for atmosphere but the blokes who run it were lovely. Check the opening times as they change through the season. Highly recommended.

After wandering around Lyme Regis we found this little gem. Probably the most underpriced restaurant I have visited. The food is incredible. The burgers are perfect and not greasy. Everything is fresh. The batter on my fish was the lightest and crispiest I have had. The fish was perfectly cooked, not in the slightest bit oily. The hospitality is excellent. Very quirky and such a pleasure to have found this restaurant. Will be going back soon, although it's a 50mile trip its worth it.

Unfortunately we went for the reviews and we're really disappointed. It was a quiet stormy night so the place was empty (few people doing take away) but we tried to trust the process and reviews. The whole place really smelt of fryers, which was off putting. People said the fish and chips was some of the best in town... Unfortunately ours wasn't. Raw batter and no real taste. Oil dripping off it too. Chips were nicely cooked. Burger was okay but nothing special. To their credit Staff offered to prep us a new fish meal but we just didn't fancy trying again. My wife hardly touched it.Had some squid rings which were oily and chewy. Still cost 40 quid and I cant remember the last time I was that disappointed with a meal. We should have just trust our gut and walked away. Maybe they were just having an off night. Beer was cheap though which was good.

First of all: Their customer service is amazing! We got to Lyme Regis late, starving, and LBK stayed open longer for us—true heroes. Their fish and chips are great, but I'm all about the burgers! So many choices, and you can tell they're made with care, not just slapped together. The Zeus Burger is my fave, but the Garlic Shroom is delicious too. Sadly, we couldn't try more due to the time we stayed but if you want a seriously good burger, LBK's the place to go.

Firstly, you will find the cheapest alcoholic drink prices in the Lyme Regis, either with your meal or at the bar. Whilst the food is more towards burgers , fish and chips etc, the quality to price ratio is very welcome. Worth finding

Brilliant addition to the restaurants in Lyme. The food was absolutely fantastic, we had scallops to start, followed by lamb, chicken, potatoes cooked in the coals and the asian slaw. I couldn't pick a favourite, they were all so good. Everything is cooked over a wood fire and if you are lucky enough to get a table with a view into the kitchen you get to watch the chef work his magic. Service was attentive and friendly, I just can't say enough good things about this place. It's like the best little back street taverna you discover on holiday and bore your friends about for years afterwards.

Everything was absolutely top notch here - the service was second to none, the food absolutely beautiful - cannot recommend it enough - it's not cheap but it is well worth the price for the quality and perfection - can highly recommend the scallops and lamb! Revisited a year later - fabulous experience - the same rave review of the food - highly recommended!

We had a delicious meal at Baroque . The lamb was melt in the mouth , best lamb I’ve ever had in a restaurant. The staff were lovely… the service is a big thing for me . If the service is bad it puts me off a place . Would have had a pudding but was full . They even have blankets so if you get a tad chilly then it’s perfect . Lovely atmosphere, would return again .

Visited with my wife to celebrate our wedding anniversary, we had an amazing dining experience. The smells in the restaurant are incredible. Staff were friendly and welcoming. We ordered different starters prawn pil pil and chicken sambal with lamb shawarma mains. The food was exquisite with genourous portions. We finished our meal with baklava and a chat with the owner and chef who were lovely. The restaurant is a gem hidden on Lyme Regis highstreet and you should definitely seek it out (we visited again two nights later to the same amazing experience).

Me and the wife were looking at the menu outside Baroque on Friday evening after getting a waft of the food from the high street. The beautiful aroma was enough for us to book on the spot but as we were checking the menu out the lovely owner came out for a chat. She was lovely and very personable. We asked if she had availability for the next evening and fortunately they had one table left. Both our girls loved their food. Pasta and meatballs and chicken skewers with flat bread. I had the Lamb Shawarma main course which fell off the bone and melted in my mouth and the wife had the Frango Grelhado chicken. In addition to these mains we had the Asian slaw, ash potatoes and the charred cauliflower sides. The wood fired cooking of the food enhances what would have already been very tasty food into sensational food. I couldn’t recommend Baroque highly enough if you are in Lyme Regis. When we go back to top up on sea glass and fossils we will be booking again for sure. Thank you baroque for a memorable evening of great food and music 👌

Visited Baroque on Valentine's Day. Never been there before as we don't live locally. Had appetizer main side and dessert. Everything was just perfectly made. Food had so much flavour and was homemade. Portions were just right and ended up quite full afterwards.Customer service was outstanding and they were very welcoming and checking we were enjoying our food and drinks. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes to try new flavours whether they are veggie or meety.

Top wood fire Restaurant - a real find. this is a tiny resturant almost in the french style where you can walk through the kitchen to get to your table. Super friendly, you are made to feel like part of the family .You need to book in advance A combination of the fire cooking together with the choice of spices and herb gave everything we tried a real sense of fusion - so truly delicious we are planing to go back .

We came for lunch during summer. Two adults and four children. The kids pizzas were a big hit, unfortunately the kids pasta was quite dry and the two who had this couldn’t eat it. There was one option for gluten and dairy free, luckily that was really nice and I do think the staff would’ve tried to cater for this on other dishes. Great location with a fantastic view, very clean tidy and good atmosphere, lovely staff

We spent our honeymoon weekend at the Rock Point Inn and had a lovely time! The stunning views over the sea were the absolute highlight. Even despite the mixed weather, we happily sat by the window and watched the waves for hours. The room itself was good, and the majority of the staff were very friendly and welcoming. We had a minor issue with the shower's hot water supply one evening, but it didn't overshadow our stay. The location is great, the restaurant food was reasonable, and the breakfast was fantastic. We definitely recommend it for a relaxing break with a view!

A small glitch with the room but dealt with perfectly by management. Great location. We stayed one night on the way along the coast. Will certainly stay again. 👍🏼 Dinner was the set roast. Tasty and plentiful. 😋 Breakfast was great - freshly cooked and a textbook “Flinglish” Would like to commend Evan and Dan on the best customer service 😊

The room was cramped but clean and warm. Shower leaked out the door onto the carpet outside the bathroom. So you couldn't have a nice shower in our room without getting everything wet. 2 minute job and had to hold the shower head. But we would definitely stay again as it's a great pub and in the ideal spot. Fantastic in beautiful weather, but equally spectacular with a Southerly gale of wind as well I would imagine. Brilliant staff, which added to the overall experience.

Great menu with some interesting choices and great service. This place has a great location so is naturally busy and is worth booking ahead to make sure you get a table. The menu has traditional pub classics on it and also a great selection of restaurant style options, plus a great special which on our visit was mackerel and it was superb. Hot food that tasted superb. The team running the place were lovely and friendly on what must be a busy day for them. Great service throughout.

What a pub! Absolutely charming and helpful staff - so welcoming. Delicious food. Fabulous views. Very dog friendly. Hope we return to Lyme Regis one day as we'd like to eat here again!

We stopped here for lunch today, staff were very pleasant and attentive. I had Steak pie with Chive mash, Chantilly carrots and peas my wife had Moules Marinier with fries. Both meals were lovely, if I was going to be picky I would say I didn't find any chives in the chive mash but that's not a problem. I would thoroughly recommend The Rock Point Inn.

Delicious food - lovely to have Dom bring out each dish and explain the ingredients, including where they are sourced. Unusual but fun idea to not know what you are having until you enter and see the menu. A great way to try new foods you wouldn’t normally order (lambs heart being an example!) Lovely evening and such a reasonable price. A must if visiting Lyme Regis.

We've been waiting for this meal for 2 months now and it didn't disappoint. Beautifully curated menu with local produce that Dom explained each time. A really wonderful experience - would go back again and again.

I can honestly say this is the best meal out I’ve ever had. I don’t say that lightly as well, it genuinely is. The whole experience was absolutely brilliant, from the good music, the friendly service, the tremendous wine from just up the road on top of the unbelievable food. The 4 courses Dom served were all fresh, incredibly tasty and the perfect portion size. It was 5 star food without the faff which, for me, is the perfect dining experience. Could not recommend highly enough and we will definitely be back if we’re ever near Lyme Regis in the future!

Some of the best food I have ever eaten!! So fresh, all local, healthy and delicious! An incredible 4 courses of food genius. Don not miss this restaurant. It’s only open in the evening and is actually in the Galley Cafe.

Really exceptional meal tonight at Dom's Table. Never had such an intimate dining experience, with menus personally tailored and each course presented in detail by Dom. It was so refreshing that the vegetarian menu had as much thought and variety into each course as the meat and fish options. Serious food in a wonderfully relaxed and comfortable environment. Would recommend to anyone

Absolutely fantastic meal. Dom made you feel like you were eating at his home. Amazingly flexible for a vegan eater too.

Best food I've had in years. We went to about 6 places in Lyme this week and this was by far the best. Fresh food, perfectly balanced with a variety of flavours and original combinations. There's a fixed menu, which is quite relaxing because you don't have to choose, and you don't need to because everything is delicious. Dom was incredibly attentive, and told us all about where the food came from and how it was made. Do not hesitate to book if you can. He said he monitors cancellations on the day so you might get a table at short notice.

What a fabulous surprise! We shared the ploughman’s lunch and it was amazing! Yummy home made pork pie, cheese and relish! Can’t wait to go back! Thanks so much for for the great service Jason & Anne!🙏💙👏🎉

Amazing! Hidden gem, beautiful setting and stunning breakfast (waffles). The staff were lovely, cannot praise enough. A must try x

Absolutely loved this little cafe. Very nice environment and lovely people. Great price and the food was absolutely amazing. Highly recommended

My wife has confirmed that they do the best coffee frappe ever! I can confirm that the staff are great and it's one of the nicest independents I've visited.

We had a very welcome stop at this lovely place. The staff were all very welcoming and friendly. My husband had a slice of the carrot cake which he rated one of the best he had ever tasted. He also enjoyed his strawberry milkshake very much. We certainly will call again. The toilet was clean and well appointed but be careful of the step down.

Delicious lunch for 6 people - soup and sourdough were heaven. The sandwiches were served with a delicious side salad, beautifully presented. Scotch egg was very tasty as was the chutney and side garnish. Clean and inviting bijou cafe. Friendly, welcoming staff. Quick service, good prices.

Fantastic food!! The smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwich came with a beautifully presented salad garnish. The soup was delicious and came with the best tomato sourdough bread. Don't just walk on by as we nearly did, go in, you won't be disappointed👍

The food was good but the portions in my opinion were small

Best Chinese takeaway I've had in a long time! Super speedy delivery, lovely staff and a great choice of food. Highly recommend the satay sauce and chicken balls! Would travel back to Lyme just to order again!

You get virtually the same menu at every Chinese takeaway in the country. But it’s rarely this good. Tasty. Good quality meat and prawns. Cooked really well. Superb value, great quality. And on a really busy night after the fireworks when the temptation to cut corners must have been high. Really great. Sad I’m not local to use again.

Fab little Chinese takeaway in Lyme. The food was lovely. I think the litmus test for any Chinese is their chicken balls - they were juicy and tender. Good job 👍 we will order again

Ordered 4 dishes, special fried rice, special chow mein, Singapore chow mein and hot and sour soup. It was for 2 adults and one child. All the dishes were delicious and really good portions. I would recommend this place. We made the order and picked it up after 30mins to enjoy over looking the beach ⛱️

Absolutely beautiful & im really fussy with chinese but this was 10/10. We had chicken curry & beef in black bean both so tasty. Only here for a week but will order again before we leave

Ordered delivery. the ribs I ordered were all fat!!! The salt and chili chips were soggy. Barely any seasonings on. Never really had a problem with the food here but tonight it was awful.

On a visit to Lyme, I was drawn to Sandro's by its collection of 5 star reviews: they are thoroughly deserved. The menu was imaginative; the cooking exceptional; the service impeccable. For food of this quality it was good value. We really enjoyed our lunch.

Definitely the best meal we had in Lyme Regis! Stunning food and amazing flavours. Sandro and Vicky are clearly super passionate and talented! Hope to revisit again very soon!!

The most wonderful surprise of a restaurant. Beautiful food, lovingly made and served with care and attention. We started with Thai pork & a smoky, deeply flavoured quail dish - two very different but equally beautiful dishes. The mains were equally delicious a wild sea bass with lovely crispy skin and an aubergine based dish in a moreish bechamel style sauce. All finished with a lovely cheese board. A great way to spend the evening of your 20th wedding anniversary. Thank you Sandro’s

This is undeniably the finest gastronomic experience in town—the kind that would typically cost £150 per person in London. You'll be amazed by the creative combination of ingredients, like the outstanding scallops with cauliflower. Even the humble eggplant is elevated with dates, raisins, and other ingredients, making you rethink how eggplants can taste. I almost don’t want to recommend the place as it was already popular and fully booked during Summer and I had to come back in October to finally try it. Sharing is caring blah blah so here we are ;)

We had the most delicious set lunch at Sandro’s! Amazing warm sourdough and tomato salad followed by warming fish curry, perfectly cooked lamb fillet and yummy puddings. Wonderful, friendly service too, the highlight meal of our Dorset holiday!

Wow wow wow! This is truly the most unbelievable restaurant. Vicky is lovely, knowledgeable and professional whilst Alessandro’s food is simply perfection. I have various food intolerances and they came up with the most delicious and thoughtful adaptations/ alternatives for me. Both mine and my husband’s meals were the best we’ve had in many years. To me it was made even better by the fact that the restaurant is tiny, unpretentious and full of heart.

We came across this intimate and welcoming restaurant quite by chance and it has been the highlight of our week in Lyme Regis. The food is quite wonderful from the home baked sourdough and heritage tomatoes which were a complimentary appetiser through all the courses. Each carefully balanced, packed with flavour and delicious. Vicky is a delightful host who makes you feel like you have been invited to a private dining experience. You will need to book as it is rightly busy and they take care to limit the number of covers so they they can maintain their very high standards. Bravo Alessandro and Vicky!

Saddens me to rate a restaurant one star but this was honestly a horrendous experience. The service was okayish but not great. The food was just about eatable. That's it. Ordered spicy mushrooms, vegetable gyozas and vegetable noodles. The spicy mushrooms were so salty that I actually quenched while eating. Not nice at all. Gyozas were super bland and overcooked, soya sauce provided was super watery with 0 flavour. The main was vegetable noodles and it was the first vegetable noodles I've ever ordered from a restaurant for £12.50 where the seasoning used were oil and burnt vegetables from frying. It was quite possibly the worst main I've ever had. The noodles used were the cheapest dry boil in the pan noodles you could find. Seems it was fried with the red panda chilli flakes which were burnt and added to the burnt flavour of my noodle dish. I ate here during the opening week of east and remember the food actually being nice, left me wanting to eat more. Not sure how a restaurant has degraded in value, service and food that significantly in that time frame. DO NOT eat here. You will simply be severely disappointed. This restaurant needs a significant overhaul. Can't see myself ever coming back here. It's a shame considering red panda's food is nice.

What an outstanding addition to Lyme Regis. A lovely and authentic Asian restaurant offering a range of small plates and bigger dishes too. East is run by the same person who owns Red Panda, which is excellent for take away, but East offers a wider range of food and is a restaurant with wine list, sake, on-tap Asahi and bottled Buddha and Tiger beers. Beautiful flavours, well presented food, helpful advice and service, well priced Asian experience. Just what Lyme Regis needed. 100% recommended.

Incredible food, service, and atmosphere to this place! We were so impressed. Will definitely be back.

I've missed travelling to Asia since covid this brought it all back fantastic food and service will definitely be back.

Absolutely amazing service and food. We arrived late with a rather full restaurant near closing, they were happy to seat our party (3 people). Upon arrival they offered us the menus and specials and served us very quickly. Overall a delicious meal and well worth a look if you are around!

We wanted to treat ourselves to a special dinner and after reading the great reviews, we were ready to go ‘all in’ with starters, main and dessert. We both ordered the seafood curry as a main, which was disappointing to say the least. For £18 each we were expecting something really special, but the curries were basically flavourless soup water with a few pieces of frozen seafood mix thrown inside. The consistency for all wrong for a curry - it was soup served with rice. While the starters and dessert were good, the mains spoilt the experience for us.

Great food! First time trying! Table organisation could have been a bit better, understand its a small space so its hard for big groups! Starter timings could be better as 2 starters came out as everyone was finishing theirs! Overall a very pleasant night. Will definitely be back!

Visited based on reviews and we had a great experience. From point of ordering where I had specific dietary needs it was refreshing that the person taking my order was knowledgeable and helpful about what I could and couldn’t have. Food was delicious and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or return. Thank you.

Just purchased a med veg box before a gig. Top draw, veg and couscous all perfect. Too busy to eat it all and going back to it cold it is still great. Recommend

The Greek salad was excellent with a very good sized portion. Highly recommended

Terrible. Miserable woman just gave excuses for being rubbish. Half a small cup of coffee for 3.20 and she said because she didnt know how to use the machine. Disgusting should have got a Costa. Avoid at all costs or burn your money. Coffee was awful too.

Absolutely amazing! Placed an online order and got a call to say it would be available to pick up earlier than scheduled which was great as we were starving! Such good value for money and the food was absolutely delicious; our clear favourite being the Greek sausages which were so tasty! Would definitely visit again and recommend to everyone who would like great food with good portion sizes! :)

it’s the perfect post-beach day meal/snack to have! shared some lovely halloumi fries, chicken gyros and souvlaki with my family — all of them were delicious and my only regret was not ordering more! 😭🥹 (sorry the only picture is one of a gyros that’s been absolutely devoured) thank you to the lovely staff as well, working hard at the year’s end - happy new year to everyone 🎉 :”) please give this place lots of love!!! it’s super convenient to grab and go, with it being located right beside the carpark. prices are reasonable for the portions you get. wish i could go back but i’m only here a couple days so till next time :”)

Brilliant food. I had the chicken souvlaki meal and my husband had the pork. Good tasty and generous sized portions. Definitely recommend getting food from here. It was a pleasant evening, so we took our food and ate overlooking the sea.

Incredibly delicious food, friendly staff, cosy atmosphere. Small menu but every dish was so flavourful and well thought out.

Absolutely love, love, LOVE this little spot. Annie was fantastic, and we can’t wait to come back. We came as a group of 10 for my birthday (out of season) and had the best time. Highly recommend if you enjoy excellent, creative food, go there immediately.

Fantastic dinner at Fennel Tapas. Small, intimate dining room, open kitchen all ran by one very talented chef, great front of house and not to mention ruin the pot washer ! The small team of 3 run a great restaurant, the food was excellent, highly recommend a visit to support these guys and their venture

We can 100% recommend this wonderful little gem if you are in or around Lyme Regis! After some time searching online, we settled on Fennel Tapas as our choice for a meal out whilst on holiday and we are so, so glad that we did! Not only is the food top-notch, authentic, fresh, and inspiring, but the service was friendly and just laid-back enough for you to feel really welcome, yet truly valued. We wanted to try everything on the menu but settled on a selection of 7 dishes at our waiter's recommendation. Not one of the dishes disappointed. Their use of seasonal and fresh ingredients, combined with expert cooking and flavours left us pretty lost for words. This place is a hidden gem and will blow away anyone with a palette for proper European/Mediterranean /Spanish style food who wants to try everything - nothing will disappoint you! We also tried the burnt caramel ice-cream, made in-house, and it was the best ice-cream any of us have had (I don't even like most ice-cream!). If you are looking for truly good food, a relaxed atmosphere, and people that care about their craft then you have to book in - Don't miss it! 👌

It's clear the owners and servers at Fennel Tapas, love what they do! Food is incredibly and well considered. They don't pack all their guests in so whilst is a small dining floor, you've lots of space around you to enjoy the food and company. Can't wait to visit again given it's a seasonal menu! 👐🏽👏🏽

Nico, the wonderful host was fabulous and helpful, the splendid chef Annie with prompt efficient service amazing tasting food would recommend to anyone absolutely loved it ❤️❤️

The initial tapa was tiny: one small pile of thumbnail sized chopped up salami and five slivers of manchego with membillo cost £12. Stingey. The rest of the food was creative and well cooked. It is pricey. Probably needs to be and it’s certainly a great addition to Lyme but would be better if they were a bit more generous with some of the basics. Eg a nice bowl of simple bread as a courtesy.
