Olive Tree
59 East St, Bridport DT6 3LB, UK | Seafood Restaurant P: 01308 422882
Rating: 4.7 (647) Price Level:
This is a great place for seafood. The pizzas are nice too - they have a pizza oven. I recommend the catch of the day. It comes with a nice butter sauce and a nice selection of steamed veg, slightly different than usual, which was quite lovely. If you like mussels, the seafood spectacular is the one to go for. I also enjoyed the fish soup. Attentive service and nice atmosphere. It’s nice either for lunch or dinner. I’ve found, if I just walk in, I won’t be guaranteed a table because it’s quite popular. Best to call ahead and book.

We visited here last night with family, and I have to say it was an absolute gem. Roasted Hake was the catch of the day and it was divine. A brilliant combination of excellent food, friendly service, and all very reasonable pricewise. we very much appreciated the picture taken, including the bonus selfie 😂 Looking forward to coming back again sometime soon.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. We went there for the spectacular and it was everything the name suggests and more, it was absolutely spectacular! The seafood was cooked to perfection and the taste was absolutely amazing. My son had the cabonara and said it was the best food he has tasted ever! We then finished our meal off with their raspberry cheesecake which was creamy and so fresh. We will definitely be back even if it’s a 3 hour drive from home, would drive all that way for that meal all over again. Great value for money and the atmosphere was lovely, the staff were so friendly and welcoming. Thank you so much Olive Tree we will see you again.

The best service we have experienced in a restaurant in ten years. Our host was happy to alter how my wife's fish was cooked to reduce the seasoning. Her Sea Bream and my seafood medley were prepared with excellent produce to a superb standard and well sized. Our lad was very happy with an excellent authentic pizza. Table service was quick, polite yet not at all overbearing. In summary, excellent seafood, very well prepared, attractively presented with understated yet world class service to match. We couldn't recommend more highly

Windy Corner Cafe
Quayside, West Bay, Bridport DT6 4GZ, UK | Cafe P: 01308 459221
Rating: 4.5 (814) Price Level:
I think we paid around £10 for 3 babyccinos, a double espresso and 2 packets of biscuits, which given today’s prices is pretty good 🙌🏻 Side note: the Babyccinos are awesome. They’re £1.45 and you get frothy milk with marshmallows but a cheaper version for kids. Highly recommend and the kids loved them👌🏻 I could imagine that it would be quite relaxing and enjoyable, but we had 3 kids. Sitting in a cafe is generally not all that enjoyable with kids but they were quite bearable and no one died. And big up to the member of staff that took the time to have a chat with one of our kids and even gave them all paper bags to collect treasure in from the beach 🙌🏻

Great biker themed cafe in West Bay. Good food, friendly staff, great outlook. Will definitely be back. Good stop off heading to Devon a d Cornwall.
Rating: 4 / 5
Came here on a recommendation of a family member and I was glad I did! It was a busy day and the staff were clearly rushing all over the place, with our food taking quite a while to arrive. However, our breakfast was fresh, hot and most importantly; extremely tasty! Great quality sausages (a big hit for me) and thick cut bacon. Minor complaint that I received fried bread instead of toast, but it wasn't enough for me to raise it at the time. Nice coffee too! Even had some colouring bits for young kids, which is a nice touch.

It was windy inside but a hellabullo outside...great cafe with great views. Great menu and service was prompt and with a smile. Our dog loved the attention and the doggie sausage which was a nice touch. Food was well presented and tasty and hit the spot. The cafe has an extension menu and do great breakfast upto midday. Lovely cakes too but we were full from our lunch. Recommend the coated chips with. Cheese and pulled pork...yum 😋

Beware does not take cash. Reasonable pasties and a decent cup of tea.
Rating: 5 / 5
The Cornish Bakery holds a special place in my heart for its unparalleled food quality and exceptional customer experience. Whether it's an early Sunday morning breakfast or any other time, their wide selection of freshly baked delights and aromatic coffee never fail to impress. The warmth and friendliness of the staff add to the overall charm, making every visit a delightful culinary journey.
Rating: 4 / 5
Great Bakery, with a great choice of reasonably priced savoury tasty pasties and pies along side cakes and tarts, etc. There is seating inside, where pets are welcome. However this is a very popular cafe, where you well may have to queue. It can be so busy that the staff haven't the time to clear tables, or check the toilets, as these are very busy too.

Got a great cup of tea but the stand out was the spiced chickpea pasty was awesome! Stopped in Bridport on a recommendation and so glad to have found this place.

Rating: 4.6 (466) Price Level:
Had the pleasure of visiting here last Sunday we arrived just after 10 and there were already quite a few people here. Offered seating inside or out, we ordered coffees which were very good and then I chose the homemade granola bowl which was absolutely delicious (it was also huge!) my husband chose the Mexican open flatbread which looked amazing, which he said was really good. Lovely friendly staff. Highly recommended.

We had a baby shower for my sister at The Cow Shed in their Barn area on Saturday, and it was perfect - everything we had hoped for! The staff were so helpful, both in the lead-up to the event and on the actual day. The barn itself is really picturesque, which was perfect for photos. We opted for a cream tea with both sweet and savory scones, and it was lovely. We paid per head for drinks, which guests could get from the private bar as and when they wished. There was plenty of room for games ect too. We couldn't recommend it more. We had the most special afternoon celebrating our new arrival with family and friends. A big thank you to The Cow Shed Team 🤍
Rating: 5 / 5
First visit to the restaurant. I was very impressed with our server, who suggested we could move to the adjacent barn where it would be leas noisy. He was right. It was😎. Food quality was excellent. Also, I was very impressed with the general cleanliness. Toilets were immaculate. I would definitely recommend this place. 👍

Amazing food, Amazing ambience and Great service. There was no waiting time, even though the place was filled on a Wednesday morning 10am. Great bunch of ppl running the place. The cowshed breakfast was a delight. The hash browns was one of the best i have tried in UK. Overall, it is highly recommended.

Hive Beach Cafe Burton Bradstock

Rating: 4.3 (3779) Price Level:
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.
Rating: 5 / 5
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.

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.

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.

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.

The room was modern, clean, comfortable with some amazing amenities. The breakfast was fantastic. My only complaint would be all the banging around at 5am when the staff started work. I never got back to sleep after that rude awakening.

Beautiful hotel, lovely cool courtyard with plenty of iced water on tap. Really lovely, helpful staff. We stayed for a couple of nights as part of a large wedding party and they bent over backwards to accommodate us. Nothing was too much bother for them and all our party thoroughly enjoyed our time at The Bull, despite the intense heat! We will be returning I'm sure.
Rating: 4 / 5
I liked this hotel but it is not for anyone who is noise sensitive. The rooms look like on the website but the single rooms are super small. I heard every door, every step above and everyone in the beer garden. And because of that this would have been a 3 star review if not for the excellent breakfast which I loooooved. There is a small buffet of yoghurt, granola and juices and then you order from a menu. My soft scramble was so good, I still think about it. I also had the Sunday Roast which was also good.

Popped in off the street for a coue of Pork Sunday dinners. Table service available and a really good sun trap of an outside eating area. Food was very nice indeed everything was very tasty and well cooked and presented. Especially loved the pureed butternut Squash.

Stopped by for a spot of lunch and was so happy we did!!! The staff are brilliant and were really good with my kids! Efficient service with a lovely smile. Food was brilliant- good honest food and very tasty! Three kids were happy - that’s great! Food was hot, tasty and well portioned. Please go here - if it were closer to home, we would be going a lot more!

On holiday in local area. Wanted a meal out on our first day. You never know what you're going to get with a pub but we struck gold with this one. Had the Sunday roast and it was excellent. Really tasty and good value. Puddings were equally yummy. Staff friendly and helpful. Plenty of parking. Going back for our last night meal.

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 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.

Absolutely excellent in every way. The staff are always welcoming and friendly, however busy they are, and extremely efficient. The atmosphere is always warm and inviting - definitely my favourite place to go to , either alone or with friends. Thank you!

I enjoy visits to Coffee#1. Had a pot of tea this time and a flapjack. It was quite small and not worth £2.65. I know costs are high, but this was not value for money. It's a good place with a variety of seats and tables.
Rating: 5 / 5
Went in Costa first and it was so cold and lacking in atmosphere that we turned around and left, and walked up to Coffee #1 instead, and how glad I am that we did! Amazing atmosphere, wonderfully funny & welcoming staff, and the coffee’s delicious and very reasonably priced. Plenty of space and comfy chairs, dogs welcome, really lovely, we’ll be back!
Rating: 4 / 5
Lovely iced coffee and coffee. Server was really friendly however the lady preparing the drinks seemed quiet harassed and not very friendly when asked if there was any straws and answered very stressful "we don't have any straws" no means of an apology or explanation. Found it quiet blunt and rude. Shame as the ambience was so lovely but would consider whether to return or not.
