Tom's Lyme Regis

We had an outstanding dinner here. Loved all of the dishes really. Excellent flavors and all well prepared and cooked. The scallops (a new variation on Tom’s dish from what we understood) may have stolen the show but the lobster and Dartmoor Beef were absolute contenders. A fresh plate of oysters. Great service and we felt well attended to. Beautiful views of the coast. We left our experience ready to recommend to others and will do so in this post as well. Food from a kitchen that cares. Kudos to the whole team.

Dropped into Tom's as we were after a decent seafood restaurant whilst we were in Devon. Well worth a try. Tom is a Royal Academy of Culinary Arts trained chef and he is front and centre of the restaurant plating up in front of the guests. We had the John Dory and Sea bream that were both delicious. His team were brilliant with our kids and gave them colouring in to do and made a fuss of them which was great. Wishing them all the best!

We went there twice in early September. Food was spectacular. The half lobster was an absolute delight and the local sea food was all so fresh . The local cider was delicious. Best part was the cheery chat and repartee, patience and knowledge of the staff. Great sitting outside looking across the bay where we had had a great fishing trip that afternoon.

Hubby and I stopped here this evening whilst passing through Lyme Regis on gallery deliveries. It was around 5:30pm and quite a few places were closed but Tom’s had twinkling fairy lights and looked very inviting as we walked along the prom. We only wanted two latte’s as we still had a long drive ahead of us but we received a friendly welcome and took a seat outside. The coffee came in a large cup and was delicious! Hot and fresh and perfect for sipping whilst enjoying the fresh air and watching the waves rolling in. The restaurant is beautiful and the menus sounds great - I’m only sorry we could stay for dinner but I have bookmarked Tom’s place on my Google Map and definitely aim to stop by for lunch next time we’re in the area! Thanks guys, you’re doing everything right! Keep up the good work :)

On what turned out to be a beautiful day we'd booked lunch at the Harbour Inn. On arrival the place was buzzing. But the food was great, mussels for me and GF bread. The menu is clear for gluten free options explained.. The staff were friendly and the service was good as they were busy. All in all a great place to eat and the restaurant is bigger than you think! Enjoy this little gem!

Beautiful meal this evening. Scallops in Japanese Wasabi mayo, Sea bass and sticky toffee pudding and raspberry brûlée. Couple of pints of proper job and Prosecco. Staff really friendly. Best apart about this restaurant is they do a decent kids menu alongside a banging adults offering. Well worth a visit and great portions too.

Friendly staff, incredible food, couldn't have asked for better. The seafood in the fish pie was the freshest I have ever had and the pork belly was incredibly tender. 100% will book in on our next visit to Lyme Regis.

Busy sunny day in Lyme. The restaurant was fully booked but there were tables out side. Not too cold. The fish pie was delicious and we had the bonus of a terrific view from our table.

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.

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!

Nestled right by the sea, The Lyme Bay has mastered the art of combining incredible food with an unforgettable atmosphere. The vibe is warm, relaxed, and inviting. The staff is not only friendly but incredibly attentive - striking the perfect balance of being present without hovering. The outdoor terrace boasts an unobstructed view of the sea. Space heaters and a cozy wood fire pit add to the experience. The Lyme Bay goes above and beyond with thoughtful touches like blankets and hot water bottles, so even a chilly day or evening can be enjoyed in comfort. The music, a well-curated mix that suits the setting, just adds to the overall great vibe. The menu caters to all, with fantastic vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options. Their gluten-free fish and chips and in-house-made fish fingers never disappoint, and dietary restrictions don’t mean compromising on quality or flavor. Each dish is crafted with care, and you simply can’t go wrong, no matter what you choose. Whether you’re wanting a leisurely breakfast, lunch, dinner, or just a drink by the fire, The Lyme Bay will leave you planning your next visit before you’ve even finished your meal.

Came here on a weekend. I was craving for a chippy. So we went here. The waiting time was roughly 2-3 minutes. We were seated outside ( a bar-like table and chair). The view is good, you can see the sea, and also the adjacent restaurant as well. We waited for around 30 minutes for our food to be served (but that was normal since it was really busy at that time). The food came. Fish and chips. The fish was good, it was soft and the coating is crispy- it did not have the aftertaste of oil compared to some chippy I have tried. The garden peas have a bit of flavour(mint) and the chips were crispy and really tasty and they have a homemade tartar sauce as well, but overall food is great. I gave 4 because I know there are still room for improvement. The staff were accommodating as well despite all the busyness.

We called in for breakfast on a blustery December Sunday morning. The staff were friendly, cheerful and accommodating (unlike me on a Sunday!). Breakfast was excellent, and all from local suppliers. A couple of minor substitutions were no problem. I'd definitely go back and see what else that have on offer.
Rating: 4 / 5
The staff and the atmosphere at the Lyme Bay was great. Staff made real effort to make us feel welcome and to make sure we had everything we needed. Breakfast menu was limited but quality of food was great. Eggs Benedict are especially great. The only thing to mention that wasn’t great was the price. £40 for breakfast for two is a lot. If you get over this, the rest is great.

Rating: 4.4 (939) Price Level:
We came here on a whim and weren’t disappointed. Ordered on a McDonalds type screen (you can order at the counter too) and waited around 30 mins for our food. Understandable due to being unstaffed (as a sign posted in the shop itself) and being a lovely warm evening. The chips were crispy and delicious along with cod bites, battered sausage and curry sauce. At time of ordering you request salt and vinegar. I did go back and get extra as I couldn’t taste it-but I do usually have them swimming! 😆Would definitely visit again if I’m ever back in Charmouth! 10/10.

Very modern chip shop selling everything from chips to pizza , icereams plus bottles of beer and cider -cooking everything fresh - when we where there anyway . We had pizza , cheesy chips and fish and chips 2x fizzy pop for £31 - in my opinion way to expensive but nothings cheap anymore . Pizza- very nice Cheesy chips - rip off Fidget and chips - nice £3 x2 cans pop - daylight robbery

Me and my family were on holiday a fortnight ago and visiting Charmouth for the day. We’d had lunch at Charmouth Fish Bar years ago and was pleased that it was still there to eat at. It wasn’t a busy day, so we were able to sit outside on the benches and eat in a nice, quiet peaceful neighbourhood. Charmouth Fish Bar is a small takeaway with little space to dine in, but the staff were very hardworking, professional and friendly, and the establishment was very clean & hygienic. The service was excellent, and the food was fabulous as I remember it being. My fish & chips were cooked beautifully. Not in the least bit greasy, nicely crisp batter and great taste, with lovely gravy on the side. We were all very happy with our food and will gladly come again next time we visit Charmouth. Thank you very much! Highly recommended!

Really disappointed in the size of the fish tbh, it was nice but we ordered extra large portions and they wasn't very big at all.

Our second visit and we weren’t disappointed l! We received a very warm welcome on arrival and the staff were lovely throughout our stay. The bedrooms are a great size and very tastefully decorated. Lovely complementary goodies in the fridge, a Dyson hairdryer, fabulous toiletries and so much more. We had our dog with us and he was made to feel most welcome too. The food was nice and breakfast was plentiful. The hotel is in a perfect location opposite the beach with car parks close to hand.

Went in on a whim to get some lunch as it looked nice. The food was very tasty and the portion size was really good. The price was cheaper then expecting considering it is in the heart of Lyme Regis. The waitress was lovely and had was very kind and friendly personality. I had a roast which was beautifully cooked and my partner had the fish and chips, fish was massive, cooked brilliant as well, the chips perfect crunch and fluffy potatoes. All round great experience. We will come back when we visit Lyme again.

5* for a nice pub with good beer and a pleasant lunch. Not sure about the "Gastropub" description, the food was nice enough as pub food, but hardly a gastronomic experience. Brilliant location, just a few steps away from the sea and also the excellent Museum.

We were a large table of 10 + 2 dogs and we were looked after by Cali from Central Coast, Australia!! She was amazing from start to finish. There was nothing too much trouble and she was so engaging, even managed to get our autistic son to talk to her (which never happens). The food , location and venue were all absolutely beautiful and will become a family favourite now thanks to Cali’s incredible service! 10/10 - Thank you so much & Happy Anniversary Cali xxx

Really enjoyed our meal here. The whole pub felt safe and welcoming despite covid, Staff very attentive, friendly and not overbearing. Food was perfect well presented and priced fairly. Was really impressed with my fish pie which was very fresh tasting. Asked for no dressing on salad and that was how it came. Very clean interior. Only downside was drinks were a bit pricey but we were only having one each so overall price was as expected including the meal. Recommended.

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.

Our favourite pub in Lyme Regis, been coming here for 20+ years, from when our children were very young. Food has always been great, but I think it's probably best ever now. The Greek food is fantastic. This time we had the vegetarian meze with the souvlaki (pork and chicken). All perfectly prepared, and the chips are just amazing. Also a very nice bottle of white wine to wash it down. We'll be back again and again!

Welcoming and helpful staff. Great food. Muscles were great. Solid fish and chips. But the black bream fillet was stunning. Sheltered seating out the front. We will be back (5yo and two adults.)

Well, this place was a pleasant surprise. Just on the seafront you might walk past it, but that would be a mistake. We stopped here for lunch half way through a 19 mile walk (as part of a 3 days charity walk). Plenty of hungry mouths! The joy of this place and USP is the Greek chef. Home made Moussaka and other Greek specialties as good as you will get anywhere (including in Greece). I had the Moussaka. A fine Moussaka is a joy to behold, whereas a poor one is worth avoiding. This was one of the best (if not THE best) I have ever had. Not just hyperbole. The service was excellent and there was a good selection of drinks on tap. I couldn't believe it. I would come back just for the Moussaka.

Had a lovely stay at the Cobb Arms for 3 nights. The rooms were clean and bed was comfortable. Toni, Gary and the staff were friendly and helpful and couldn't do enough to help. The drinks were reasonably priced for the location on the front, but best of all was the food. My wife is a coeliac but she had enough choice on the menu, that she was able to have,that was gluten free. The fish and chips that she had, were the best she had tasted, with the batter being crispy like normal batter. The full English breakfast was gluten free too and was lovely. Would definitely recommend the Cobb arms for a stay, or just to pop in for a meal on your holiday. So a big thank you to Toni, Gary and all the staff for a lovely break and hope to see you all in the future.

Popped in an amazing fish n chip lunch yesterday. The food was simply amazing, the service excellent and the decor and overall location superb. I can thoroughly recommend The Cobb Arms for food, drink, atmosphere and an excellent location.

Great food and friendly staff! We accidentally left a bag behind when he left but a quick phone call and they held it safe for us behind the bar until we could get back. The sardines on the specials menu were massive and an easy recommendation as well as every other meal there. And dog friendly as well!

Went to the Cobb Arms for Sunday lunch with our pals and their 2 strapping teenage lads in the naughty corner of the rest. Superb choice of food, nothing too much trouble. Rob and his staff were terrific, warm and friendly/smiley. Very pleased indeed with the quality, quantity and attention to detail on our plates. I had the scollops and prawns on sewers with crisp salad for my main. The restaurant also has interiors for sale, especially up on the walls pictures, posters, lamps etc, so if you see anything you fancy, you can buy it. #happydays

I went here for lunch with my children and sausage dog on a visit to Lyme Regis. The staff were all lovely and very attentive, the food and choice of food were exceptional and reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend the mussels, and would love to return if we are nearby one day.

Lovely stay for one night at the Royal Lion. We were greeted by Sharon who was so polite and friendly, it makes such a difference to feel so welcomed. There was Parking on site, a pool with sauna and hot tub. Room and en suite were very comfortable and clean, a nice welcome pack including good quality coffee and also nice smelling toiletries. Breakfast was really nice too. Overall we had a faultless stay.

A wonderful night spent here. Watching the white waves and listening to the gusts of Storm Bert, from our balcony. Excellent service, spotlessly clean room and fantastic food. Super comfy bed and gorgeous bathroom. We ate in the bar as the restaurant was full and it did not disappoint. Highly recommend the fillet steak and the Hake. Can’t wait to eat here again and stay for that matter! Breakfast was lovely too, with great service. We’ll be back xx

Guys, you really gotta try this wonderful hostelry - it is superb!! We have walked past it time and time again over the years, God knows why, but this time we went in and we were certainly not disappointed - the inviting smell of good food being cooked, the even more inviting log fire, and the warmest of welcomes from the bar staff. While our food order was being prepared I had a quick look around and the place oozes history and charm by the bucketload. There are rooms here too but I didn't see any of those so it would be inappropriate to comment on those. However, the food was very prompt in arriving and it was of exemplary quality and portion size, piping hot and VERY tasty!! They keep a good cellar here too, lots of choice of beers, ales & spirits, so in that respect it ticks all the boxes!! I cannot for the life of me understand why we haven't been here before as we've missed so much - but, be assured this is our go to place to eat in Lyme Regis from here on in!! A word to the wise, we got lucky, we arrived at 12.15 and it was quite quiet then but by 1pm the place was totally rammed, no tables left anywhere and there are 3 different dining areas, all packed! The point being if you want to enjoy what this place has to offer food wise, especially at weekends, please book in advance otherwise you could well miss out!!
