Top Places and Services in Nether compton, Dorset

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.

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.

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.

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.

We returned to Lyme Regis and had breakfast here again. We decided to have dinner here too and we were not disappointed. The food is delicious and we absolutely love it in here.
