The best lunch experience in the area! Lovely food at a very reasonable price! The Admiral Hood is often very busy (unsurprisingly!!), so make sure you book in advance! Staff are always kind and happy to accommodate any requests. Pleased to be a regular customer!

We recently had an amazing meal out here. The cosy pub setting was relaxing and pleasant to sit in. A great selection of drinks on tap and bottled as well. The service was very good indeed, polite and friendly, our food was served very (but not too) quickly! Three of the six of us had fish and chips, it was the best I have had for a very long time, with lovely light batter and delicate fish. The chips and onion rings are also proper pub standard, we enjoyed this very much! Our grandparents very much enjoyed the senior citizens options - these were a selection of slightly smaller and cheaper meals, but were still a generous amount of food and great value for money. We highly recommend and would return - an amazing choice of mains, specials, sides, desserts and 'small plates' for any occasion!

Had lunch one day and drinks another. Great place. Nice atmosphere. Pleasantly upmarket without being pretentious.

Went for a Mexican and half price cocktails on a Wednesday evening. Mexican is cooked in a van in the car park, but served in the bar/conservatory - excellent food (real cutlery but takeaway boxes).

Really well looked after when they were busy with a birthday tea party. Delicious cream tea in a beautiful garden. Excellent staff. Made really welcome. Looks a pleasant place to stay too.

A lovely place which such an amazing team! We were well looked after celebrating our first wedding anniversary and the crispy lionsmane mushroom dish at the restaurant was one of the best I have ever had! We had the most perfect stay.

A stellar experience. Lovely service from the team, who clearly are passionate about what they do. The steak I had was maybe the best I have ever been served - a lovely cut and cooked perfectly. Just a great experience.

Very nice layout of the tables and also a lot of seating area, I don’t think this place will ever be fully full! Garden area is quite large however is surrounded by buildings. Service was fast and food came quick, pancakes were very tasty and ciabatta was nice however a few more crisps and salad would’ve been nice. Staff were kind and showed us a table and welcomed us nicely. Went during eat out to help out and was nice and cheap.

We visit Café Gardenia frequently and always enjoy it. The food is lovely and the service is always great and with a smile. When my daughters visit they enjoy it and love the selection of meals available. Having an outdoor and a covered outdoor area is really good as you have plenty of choices of where to sit.

Just had a faultless meal at Brassica - there were 8 of us, a mixture of meat, pesces and veggies. The food was outstanding - something for everyone and arrived quickly. Vibe is very informal and friendly, we loved all the people who served us. We ate most of the things on the menu and every dish was exceptional. Can't wait to come again.

A solid 5/5 for us. Could not fault a thing. Tried both Spanish wines and the French rose at a £5 for small glass…you don’t need to spend more. Absolutely fab. Sign of a good restaurant is spot on house wine. Lovely service from all and my steak was melt in my mouth. We will be back. Thank you all !

A wonderful lunch, we all decide to have the daily specials. All were delicious, great value for money and we had three dogs with us and the staff could not have been more friendly or accommodating. They bring you complimentary biscuits for the dogs.

Stopped in for some food and found the pub very pleasant. Quite stylish inside with nice decor and lots of seating. Food was good although medium rare steak was over cooked. Well priced for food and drink and we'd visit again.

The Red Lion pub is a fantastic find. The owner is so friendly and welcoming, the food looks and tastes really good and they stock Powderkeg gluten free beer alongside beers from the brewery . This visit we had cheesy chips - best cheesy chips ever.

A surprise visit for lunch after a walk. Sunday roast was great and reasonably priced. Nice décore and good atmosphere, with friendly staff. Shame we live over an hour away or this would be a regular drop in. All 7 of us cleared our plates!!!

This is a well loved beach cafe which has beautiful scenic views, it is very popular and rightly so. The menu is mainly fish and seafood dishes. However, they do a smashing full English breakfast up to 11.30 am. I will post pics. This dog friendly beach cafe has a carpark close by, but if you choose to walk along the cliff top path or the lower paths, you will walk within the most beautiful scenery. This is a totally table service venue, so once you are seated, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the view. Prices are reasonable.

Camping at Freshwater holiday park, a 20 minute walk to visit this gem of a place. Busy and bustling restaurant, great menu, food was outstanding and the service was great too. Dog friendly aswell, all in all, will definitely be returning soon.

Huge muscles in a nicely balanced blue cheese cream sauce. The fish chowder was also lovely, great tasting fish and fresh veg. We enjoyed on a wet and windy day, outside seating had heaters which warmed us up nicely. Would recommend after a walk.

We arrived at 11.20, just in time to order breakfast. We were lucky to get the table on the edge of the 'tent' overlooking the beach. Despite being quite busy we received very efficient service. The food arrived within 15- 20 min, then our hot drinks. We had 3 x full English and egg Benedict on muffin with bacon. Everyone enjoyed it. The only nuisance were a few wasps but not a lot to spoil our experience.

Came here today, after walking from our campsite at Graston Copse through Burton Bradstock village. A warm welcome by a member of staff & shown to our outside table for 4 with 3 dogs. Our waitress took our drinks order & returned after a few minutes to take our food order. She was very friendly and attentive, giving time for a chat despite being extremely busy. Wait for our food was minimal and when it arrived it was hot, tasty & well presented. Back ground music was pleasant, giving the Mediterranean feeling due to the sunshine. Wouldn't hesitate in returning if we are in the area again .... thank you.

We were served by Ruby- absolutely amazing service and wonderful food! Catered to non-standard allergens with kindness and respect! We had the confit tomatoes with feta and the autumn salad, would recommend both for anyone visiting. We didn’t get the chance to try the pear frangipane, which we would love to visit to try again.

4.2 is very harsh for the amazing food we ate! Keep cooking like this and you won’t be that for long! Had the Sprung Salad with chicken (thanks for accommodating) and it was one of the best salads I’ve eaten out. Beautiful balance of nuts, leaves asparagus and feta. Really impressive thanks again 👍🏼

We needed a pit stop to empty our bladders and grab a coffee and drove past this place. Toilets were clean and pleasant to use and we picked up the most delicious home made cake. A bit pricey at £2.50 but my god was it worth it! The best cake I've had in ages! The lady that served us was polite and friendly and we didn't have to wait long at all. Definitely worth a visit if you need a snack and toilet break when on the road

I stayed here overnight in my car camper and felt safe. I have a bacon and cheese wrap, a toasted tea cake and a latte, it was over £11. Apparently it's closing down as the council want it for themselves and will be gating it off.

We travel in a motorhome and usually wild camp. Our motorhome has two 230 Ah batteries powering a 3000 watt inverter. The batteries are charged by two 150 watt solar panels. This allows us to stay off grid more or less permanently (we just have to find water from time to time). Anyway, this rest area has toilets but no water taps, the toilets are closed at night due to vandalism. Most of the area for parking is sloping slightly but some spots are very good. We stayed here for two night without a problem. There are no staying overnight restrictions. There are doggie walking areas. At night it is very quiet.
