The Best Cafes in Mosterton, Dorset, United Kingdom (2025)

Wasn't open... Several others including a group of cyclist came up the pot holed drive . So money was lost. But understandably,the owners are not out too make cast amounts of money. MC Donald's would have redeveloped it,if they thought there was easy money too be made.. And that's why it's sits in a sleepy hollow. Well away from garish... West bay . Thankgod,it's tranquil unspoilt.. And I don't know why I'm telling you. Because the last thing I want too see is endless huge motorhomes With owners who haven't a scooby doo how too drive them.. Clogging up this idyllic piece of what England did look like before the motorways... But I still took a look around the mill pond and went up again too the sluice.. Muddy belut determined to get a picture. You could hear it before you saw it .. In full flood. And the snow drops were out. Use too come with my father,because Paul the owner worked with him. At the top secret weapons establishment on Portland which everybody knew was there . Because it stuck out like a sore thumb. But Paul gave it all up and has spent the rest of his life restoring the mill. And my father was left in the drawing office dreaming off the day he could get back too his allotment and his flowers...

the staff are lovely!! and the full English breakfast/vegan breakfast was the best we've ever had!! the museum was really interesting! the buildings were beautiful! would 100% recommend this place!!

Great little hidden gem! We started our visit in the cosy little cafe, lots of choice and very nice food. A light rain shower then directed us into the very interesting museum, lots to see! including the wheel from the inside (apart from seeing the wheel, awkward steps are involved) then we emerged to the sun making an appearance onto the lovely lake, lots of benches, ducks and a little walk down to the sluice gates which is a very pretty little spot. Before we left we visited the gift/craft shop which was full of very reasonably priced items and plants for sale too. A very enjoyable morning of exploring and will definately be returning 😊 There was also an Art gallery but not sure on the opening days as closed on the Saturday we visited.

An interesting old 17th century watermill and Museum of Rural Bygones. There is a cafe on site, called the Tea Chest, as well as local crafts and a lake to wander around. The 'museum' is £2.50 payable via an honesty box.

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.

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.

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.
