The Best Restaurants in Long Bredy, Dorset, United Kingdom (2025)

This place is 10/10. I found the best thing about this place was they offer a fire place and wood to buy, and the guy comes and checks you are topped up for the night. Me and my group was not expecting to be having beers and wine by a fire while camping. Also walking distance to the beach. I defiantly need to come back to this place In 2025 . Happy new year

This is in a lovely location and the lake is beautiful for kids paddle boarding. The pitches are all level and flat with short grass. We enjoyed our time camping and would certainly come back and recommend to others. We felt the shower and toilet facilities could be improved and there weren't really enough for the numbers camping on the site. Separate sinks to the toilets would also have been beneficial so you didn't have to queue for loos to brush teeth etc. The site would also benefit from a few more sinks for washing up. The showers were warm in the morning but not in the afternoon. The cafe is lovely, we would have welcomed it being open later in the day during the week and it stocking a few grocery basics like bread, milk, water etc. I'm sure it was just a one off but we had to wait an hour for 4 toasted sandwiches and wasps were a problem across the site although we were informed by staff this is only for a short window of time each August. Its also worth noting it's £20 extra per night for a fire pit and wood which we felt was a little steep when comparing with other campsites we have visited in the area. Its a great little site but has real potential to be an absolute gem with a few improvements

An amazing, super cool place. I popped in on my bike ride from Bridport to Dorchester. The lake is great - deep enough and just a great place for a swim (£5) followed by a cuppa and a delicious brownie. The lake is spring fed so pretty cold, but very refreshing :-). I’m going to have to book a stay next summer. An hours walk over the hills to remote beaches (or 30-45 mins run if you can!), 15 minutes westbound cycle to a farm shop and brilliant cafe, or 5 minutes walk to the village pub. Take your pick!

Such a marvelous location that serves great food made from local produce. Vegetables and fruit grown in their own garden, Dorset meats and shellfish, and good beer. Excellent playground, so kids are entertained. Would highly recommend.

Only had Sunday lunch here. It was great. Pork and apple, before that a delicious mushroom soup. Dessert was good, but you could argue the fine points of Dorset apple tart!

What a wonderful place to stay! Delicious home-cooked food, nice accommodations, but the best part was that my wife and I were treated like family!

Fantastic service, superb foods and by far the best Palmer beers in the area

We enjoyed a delicious meal in this friendly, cosy country pub and would highly recommend it.

We had our evening meals here while we were staying in the village. The landlord was very welcoming and helpful. The menu was good, plenty of choice. Food was well cooked. The Dorset Apple Cake was to die for! The locals were friendly and chatty. All in all, a lovely find!

Absolutely delicious. The food is excellent, the staff are lovely and the pub has a really authentic, rustic feel to it. A great garden with a lovely backdrop too! A hidden gem in the heart of Puncknowle!

Lovely country spot for Sunday Lunch! Excellently priced menu and VERY friendly staff. I left my necklace there before driving a 2 hour journey and the lady behind the bar kindly posted it back to me when I realised I had forgotten it. Thank you so much !!

We didn't stay at the New Inn, but we did have a large family Christmas lunch. The food was delicious; the service was fun, attentive, and professional. The atmosphere was lovely. Everyone has commented on how special the afternoon was and will return. I've already recommended The New Inn to folks and will continue to do so. If you get the chance to visit, GO!

Only ate, didn’t stay. A fantastic location in a lovely village. There were 15 of us; the food was outstanding, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We will definitely be eating at The New Inn again.

Came here for a lunch meal as a surprise birthday party, and can't praise the restaurant enough. The food was lovely, and they managed a large group very well. I've been to other places before as a large group and it has been a disaster, so it was really nice to see how well this place handled the 23 of us. If I lived closer, I'd definitely be back more often!

We went for lunch as a party of 6. We had pre booked because it was the Christmas season. We were greeted by a very friendly member of the team. Shown to our table,allowed to settle, then had our drinks order taken and then shortly after that we had our meal order's taken by another charming team member. We didn't have to wait very long until all of our food was brought to the table. We had a gluten free option, a vegetarian option and 4 meals and starters off the Special menu. Every meal was beautifully cooked and presented. We had a really lovely time and will definitely be returning in the near future.

I can't comment on the accommodation as I only went here to dine - but, everything about the experience was really good! From the outside the building is neat, but not dramatic, but from inside the views are outstanding and the place is spotless. There's a very creative menu with excellent flavours, a good bar and lounge, and some of the nicest staff you'll ever encounter.

Lovely pub and location. I was on the way back to London and needed a pit stop. As soon as I walked in I was greeted with a big smile and taken to a table. I didn't have to wait too long as the only waitress working was just like wonder woman. I run a restaurant in London and would give her a job anytime.

We loved the Kings Arms. Sitting in the afternoon sunshine in the large garden or on their decking is very relaxing. It is dog friendly and our black Labrador loved it too. It looks as if it will be very cosy on a cold winters day when the log fire is roaring. The staff were great and friendly. In fact the entire village of Portesham was so friendly we felt really welcome even though we were there for just a few days.

Had a light bite and drinks. Very nice. My 5 star review is really for Liz. She was extremely busy, single handedly running the bar, taking food orders, serving orders, clearing tables and taking payment. All this on her own, very unfair. But done with a lovely smile and friendly nature. Treat this woman well, she is worth her weight in gold.

Absolutely stunning location with beach and shops within a 5 minute drive. Great fun was had in the barn and as for the food 10/10 doesn’t seem a high enough score. Fantastic service from the staff and the Sunday Roast is not to be missed if you are on site at the weekend ( book in advance as extremely busy. When you taste the food you’ll see why)

We stayed here to go climbing at Portland. The cider is amazing, the restaurant serve some of the best coffee I've ever had and the staff are very polite and super helpful. I highly recommend this campsite, especially for climbers looking for somewhere to stay to access Portland climbing.
