Reviews
We've been meaning to visit here for a while and it was worth the wait, plenty of parking spaces on the day we went.
The staff were lovely, we had breakfast and it was top notch, perfectly cooked.
A good selection of gifts aswell.
The views are just beautifully stunning.
I can't wait to go back!!!
The Jailhouse Café is one of Portland more unusual tourist spots. Run by charity Expia, it is a café based within HMP The Verne on where prisoners cook and serve the food in a bid to further their rehabilitation, give ex-offenders new job prospects and skills and also help prisoners to make reparation for their crimes.
Walking into the cafe, There are plenty of tables inside and outside, a counter to order your food from and an area where you can purchase Jail House merchandise. The on right side of cafe. This also includes flower baskets made by the inmates.
The cafe is very light and pletty of space inside and out. Theres pletty of seating in and outside. It's was very clean and staff was friendly and helpful.
I took my pops there for breakfast [not the first time]. We aim to get there around 10.30am, as normally 11-11.30am it gets busy and it did get very busy, being out the way.
The food gov'ner breakfast fully pack piping hot and was really lovely. Prices are good value. Theres pletty on the menu, for breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus daily specials.
5 star hygiene rating.
Outside pletty of seating and beautiful views looking over Portland harbour and in the distance on a clear day see weymouth beach ⛱️.
Pletty of disabled parking, ramps, toilets 🚻.
Really impressed. Great value for money. Good honest food, some great gift bits too. Food was quick, hot and tasty. Can't ask more than that (and the views were beautiful).
A unique cafe with absolutely stunning views across Weymouth, Portland and Chesil Beach. Dog friendly and has a ramp for wheelchair access. Reasonably priced food and drink with lovely little souvenirs and artwork to purchase by local artists. Also free car park very close to it.
