Stopped off here by chance as we were passing and fancied coffee and cake. Wow! What a beautiful place, friendly staff, delicious cakes and coffee, we were quite disappointed that we had already had lunch as all the food looked superb. Extremely dog friendly too! Wish it was closer to where we are staying as we would definitely be back

Went for lunch 14/12/24 with a work colleague, I had the sea bass and my colleague had the roast beef. Both excellent, the bass and it's trimmings, beautiful flavour and my colleague said the roast beef was very tender. Both plentiful portions. Definitely will visit again.

So glad we found this place, had a really delicious breakfast with friends before driving home from our weekend away. Kind and friendly service and lovely surroundings. I've hardly stopped thinking about the Turkish breakfast and would love to come back for a stay and to try the rest of the menu!

We stopped to get some breakfast on our travels. Even though we were 5 minutes late past breakfast time, the ladies served us breakfast with no issues. The food was amazing and worth stopping by. I would definitely recommend people to stop and have some nice lovely food

Absolutely love The Lemon Tree! Friends and family have stayed in the beautiful rooms. I’ve personally enjoyed eating here, (alone or with friends), or simply enjoyed stopping for coffee and cake in this wonderful friendly place. I’ve held events here with friends, and the staff are friendly and incredibly accommodating, and always happy to listen to suggestions and feedback. Beautifully decorated in a Mediterranean style which is reflected by the menu. Highly recommend you pay them a visit!

A lovely get away for a peaceful weekend. Spectacular country side view. Stunning decor with a bit of old and a bit of new. Immediately felt like I was at home. Large airy bedrooms. Carolyn is a gracious host. Warm friendly and the breakfast was absolutely delicious. Will definitely be going back there.
Rating: 5 / 5
Super kind and caring host, Carolyn. Very tasty breakfast made to our orders every morning. Very clean room and bathroom, extremely stunning views from the house (have a look at my posted photos). We will definitely return here for future visits. West Bay is a very nice and small seaside town with sandy beach, added bonus is the Jurassic coast line view.
Rating: 5 / 5
Just returned from a short break at Oxbridge Farm, we have been here on several occasions. Beautiful house set in stunning scenery. Very spacious and beautifully furnished bedrooms, each with a wonderful view and extremely comfortable beds. The host is very welcoming and provides an amazing choice of delicious breakfasts. This is the perfect place to recharge your batteries, very peaceful with lots of lovely walks, very rural but only 15 minutes from the coast at West Bay and Bridport with twice weekly markets and a good choice of independent shops. We are really looking forward to our next visit.
Rating: 5 / 5
Nice week off with lots of local and easily accessible places to explore. Real Rural Farm experience with top hotel service, home hospitality and friendly host. Great location to relax and recharge. Any extras just ask. Perfect breakfast. Nice touch with welcome Tea and cake. Even locally sourced fish dinner offered and nice visit to the young lambs at the farm. Very pleased. Want something different and with personal touch - thats place for you.

Everything was amazing. Between 2 of us we had almost all of the dumpling dishes because they were so good. The staff are brilliant & the drinks were exceptional too. Could not recommend it more.

What a little gem this place is, decor was very cozy and very well done, food was outstanding, lovely cocktails, nice selection of wine, owners and there team were friendly and on hand to assist with any queries, can't recommend this little gem of a restaurant any higher. We will return

This is mine and my partner's favourite restaurant. It was recommended to us a few years ago by the owner of another one of our favourite restaurants in Birmingham, when he heard we'd be holidaying in Dorset. It does not disappoint! The restaurant itself is well decorated with cosy isolated booths upstairs, ideal for couples or small groups. The branding is unique and well thought out, using a nice green across menus, decals and merch as well as fun iconography that feels authentic to their South East Asian roots. This is often overlooked by a lot of independent restaurants. The food is delicious across the board with complex flavours and textures. I couldn't name anything I tried that would rank below a 7/10. Our first visit we sampled everything we could with helpful recommendations from the staff. Crispy fried fennel with crab mayo being a personal highlight for us. So much so we (unsuccessfully) tried to make it ourselves at home. Originally when we came the menu felt like a South East Asian tapas with a diverse selection of small plates. However on our most recent visit the menu has been streamlined towards a more typical starter and main arrangement. The starters being a tasty array of steamed or fried dumplings and the mains being either a noodle or rice bowl, with the addition of some small side plates. I'd be lying to say that this wasn't a little disappointing but given the current cost of living crisis and increasing supply costs for independent businesses I can totally understand why they would switch to this approach. It certainly won't deter me from returning and I can only hope that one day they bring back my beloved crispy fennel.

Came here during our bank holiday weekend escape from London, and what a gem it turned out to be. It’s tucked away in a little alleyway but easy to find. We were seated in the downstairs bar area which has a mix of high and low seating, with just the right balance of cozy and charming. I didn’t catch our waiter’s name but I believe he’s one of the managers. His service was impeccable from start to finish. We loved all the food but the charred pork belly is a must try. You can truly taste how much love goes into every dish. We got to have a chat with the chef, Brendan. His warmth and passion for his craft shone through, making us feel incredibly welcome. The folks at Dorshi genuinely care about and love what they do, and that made for an amazing experience. Can’t wait to come back!

Every now and then, you actually have a recommendation that is actually perfect .went into the pursuit of hoppiness in the high Street bridport git chatting to the barman about food his first place was the dorshi hidden up a alleyway beside the bull pub .so went over to look found a great little Asian mix restaurant booked a table for 7.30 .when we arrived we were greeted but a friendly face and the chef who's cooking by the door .so we started with a local beer and saki .food wise we had dumplings with pork and ginger and steamed dumplings pepper chicken then the angry pig bowl then soy bean salad .and finished with steamed shiitake mushroom dumplings. WOW 👌 that's all I'm saying .chef your underpaid all the staff are excellent. Go here you will not be Disappointed. 🙂

We didn’t even know until this place existed, until today. We thought we’d give it a go as we’re both foodies and like something different. And your restaurant hit the spot! The carriages are super cosy, warm and beautifully designed. The octopus starter must be one of the best starters we have had in a long time. Keep doing what you’re doing as you are doing the right thing! We will definitely be back when we’re in the area again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We ate here whilst on holiday as a treat for our grandsons, whilst for 4 the price was a little high, but the food more than made up for it, the food was awesome, each of our meals were beautifully cooked and presented. Staff were lovely. All in all a lovely evening in great surroundings.

Our experience was dinner which we enjoyed the first time to warrant a return visit two days later. We were staying close by not in the hotel. Luckily I had pre-booked as gets very busy especially Mondays. The service was excellent and Matt made us feel very welcome on both occasions. Good food, good atmosphere and a great view from the conservatory.

We recently had a delightful short break with our best friends. It was welcoming, and comfortable, with beautiful views, delicious food, friendly, helpful staff, and the whole atmosphere conducive to relaxation and allowing a recharging of the batteries. We arrived in thick fog and pouring rain which meant a quick change of our original plans. The management immediately arranged for us to take possession of our rooms four hours early, which to us was going the extra mile. Thank you so much to The Manor Hotel! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 The weather improved dramatically and the whole stay was a great success!

Didn't stay, just visited for food. The staff were brilliant, very warm and friendly. The steak dinner was amazing to match the gorgeous views. It is absolutely worth the long drive down. Can't recommend enough.

Hiked a loop from abbotsbury and stopped here for lunch. As it was the off season, many places were closed. We were so glad to find that the manor was open. I had a local Dorset crab linguine and it was honestly one of the best meals I've ever had. The crab was flavorful and plentiful and the whole dish was cooked and seasoned perfectly. My husband enjoyed his aubergine platter as well. Beautiful spot, great service, highly recommend!

Great pub, great service and really excellent food. This pub specialises in fish and it was all excellent. We were told the chef refuses to cook fillet steak or duck well done, a sign of a passionate person and the food they do cook was wonderful. Atmosphere is only 4 stars because we booked very late and they had to put us in the overflow room on our own.
Rating: 5 / 5
The food was exceptional, prawn cocktail followed by the surf and turf for myself and my sister whilst her husband and my partner enjoyed the garlic mushrooms & seafood chowder to start and exceptional fillet steaks. Staff were friendly and helpful, all in all we thoroughly enjoyed our evening, thank you

We had lunch and dinner here on the same day and both were great. A large ploughman's sandwich and bowl of delicious wedges were plenty to share. Another diner said the game pie was perfect. Good choice of main courses in the evening. We shouldn't really have had a starter as the main courses are very good portions. We needed to book for the evening. Would definitely recommend.

My husband booked a table for my birthday and can honestly say we weren’t disappointed, chef went off menu for me and made me a linguine which was delicious and my husband had the duck which he thoroughly enjoyed - thank you very much

I can firmly recommend this restaurant. We came here for a dinner and were very surprised. Everything was exceptionally tasty and very well decorated. Service was fast, the waitresses were all friendly. The food took a while but the place was full. We sat in the dog friendly garden. We had three starters to share, prawns, the cauliflower and BBQ pulled pork. Especially the cauliflower was awesome. To the point. Lots of spices, great sauce, spicy. The fries were crisp even covered with sauce. We then shared the fish curry. Another surprise. Also spicy, the rice was perfect, crisp vegetables and a delightful sauce over the shrimps, the fish and the mussels which were outstanding huge. The prices for such high quality are very OK. The negative reviews could be explained by the season. We were told that during summer vacation the near campground is flooded with people who then also flood this place.

The best roast I've ever eaten at a restaurant. Beautifully presented, perfectly cooked roast pork.
Rating: 5 / 5
Absolutely amazing roast and I’ve eaten a lot of roasts!! Huge portions and the meal included cauliflower cheese at no extra cost. Lovely pub garden in a beautiful little village. Golden Cap on a nearby so I’d recommend a long walk along the gorgeous Jurassic coast followed by a roast at this gem of a pub

A fantastic pub, clean, friendly, lovely atmosphere. The garden is sheltered with plenty of seating. Dog friendly. Booking is reccomendationed. The menu is varied with plenty of choice for all dietary requirements. Along with sharing platters. The staff are attentive and friendly. The pub is historical. The old post office has been integrated into the front lounge area. If you love your Sunday lunch, book early as you won't get a seat.

Wonderful spot down a country lane, nestled right on the beach. Great fresh local produce and friendly staff. I would love to stay one evening in their rooms and wake to the fabulous sea view
Rating: 4 / 5
The location is absolutely stunning, with Golden Cap behind and a view down to the Isle of Portland. This place really is a treat, service is excellent but, it can get very, very busy and you may have to wait for seating. It is on the pricey side too, so as I said, it's a treat. Ask for extra salt on the Padron peppers and you won't be disappointed. Beers were in good condition. A great place to while away a warm summer's evening.

A good restaurant in a great location ! Market fish was the best choice on the menu! Extremely fresh and perfectly cooked, accompanied by fennel and good buttered bread. I must say I was a little disappointed with the bouillabaisse... A bit coarse for my French-educated palate... And the apple cake was as beautiful as amber but not very subtle and not rich enough in apples for my taste. The staff were extremely friendly, polite, smiling and efficient. Impeccable hygiene and one of the nicest toilets (perhaps not what you'd expect from a restaurant review, but how important it is! Particularly when you're on the road a lot, it's important that the place where you stop offers comfort in this respect too, and even better with a touch of aesthetics. I highly recomand 🩵

We came for a roast dinner on a rainy Sunday. The service was incredible. The food was delicious. The only problem was the portion size - barely enough meat on the plate to make a sandwich let alone a Sunday roast. Otherwise all good.

Me and my girlfriend came here for a dinner and had a great time. The food was amazing, the drinks somehow tasted better than other pubs I've been to and service was brilliant. We were served by an Australian girl and her partner and they were really lovely!

Just stopped by for a couple of beers. Loved the location and chilled atmosphere. Not overly posh or pretentious like some in Dorset, despite the affluent countryside. Food looked very good but we were camping nearby and already had food planned. Dogs are most welcome too.
