The Best Restaurants in Preston, Dorset, United Kingdom (2025)

Table for three last Friday whilst staying overnight in Weymouth. Very nice evening, Kebab Grill was great, was tempted by the Mixed Grill but, to be honest the KG was enough, Mussels & White Wine sauce starter - excellent. Couldn't fault this restaurant, would definitely return if in Weymouth. Not on the cheap side but really worth the expense. Best to book in advance, it gets busy at the weekend. Thank you the Rona Bar & Grill.

Absolutely fantastic restaurant if you are in Weymouth go here for dinner you will not be disappointed. I had the mixed grill the selection of meats were cooked perfectly and delicious the lamb chops were excellent probably some of the best I have eaten in a Turkish restaurant. Friendly attentive staff reasonable prices if I ever come back to Weymouth ill be eating here again for certain.

Food was absolutely fantastic and fairly priced! the stuff weren’t rude but weren’t exactly the most friendly but I can’t moan too much as I wasn’t sitting next to them when I was eating! I would deffo come again!

Food was deliciously cooked and well plated to achieve the desired appealing look. The starters made us extra hungry for our food, which was a wonderful thing given the quantity: we had creamy special chicken with a side of rice vegetables, and Penne dello Chef. We enjoyed our main meal, dessert, and drinks. We were welcomed by a lovely gentleman who showed us to our seat in the restaurant; a spot in the middle of the restaurant away from the windows, the door, and the bar. He took our orders carefully and politely, answering our questions as we were unfamiliar with the cuisine. We appreciated that he checked in on us during our meal and served us with a smile throughout, wishing us well on our way out. The tables are well presented and decorated with high-backed, big, red chairs allowing us to sit comfortably. The restaurant is quiet with music playing at a low volume in the background. Entrance to the restaurant may think it is a small establishment, but one would be pleasantly surprised once they walk in.

A fantastic place, the ladies are very friendly and the cooking is top draw. Nothing too much for them, even when I got wet, they hung up my coat to dry. The atmosphere is great for writing. Mind you I am an early riser, so it normally only has regulars.

Had a fantastic lunch here today, i had the Cornish jacket potato (jacket potato with 3 thick rashers of bacon and 2 pieces of brie), with a salad garnish and a large latte, good quality, reasonably priced, smiley friendly helpful staff, what more could you want!

A gem 💎 amazing breakfast. Lovely and clean. Really friendly staff. Visited two days in a row as was so good. I had the mini breakfast and hubby had scrambled eggs on fried bread. Both were amazing. Def recommend. Good mix of locals and visitors all made very welcome

A real traddional cafe with some lovely home cooked food. Great for a spot of lunch.. Always busy for the breakfast with few tables free until after 12.30. But definitely worth the wait. Jacket potatoes with filling are massive portions, really enough for dinner. Recommend the Indian chicken and mushroom for lovely savoury spicy kick. Or plum for freshly cooky breakfast with all the trimmings. You can't go wrong. All service delivered with a smile, and a little banter.

Italian restaurant situated in a former bandstand on Weymouth beach. The restaurant has recently been renovated , to a high standard . The staff were friendly and very attentive , keeping an eye on empty drinks , plates being clearing away or new courses to be brought . We had cocktails.. very good. Seafood Pizza .. excellent Melt in the mouth chicken with roasted vegetables and a mushroom sauce , followed by a very tart lemon sorbet . All very nice , but not on the list of recommended food on Google ..

Absolutely fantastic night, food was amazing, I ordered a drink off the menu and they made it for me. Service was great and the whole atmosphere was relaxed and chilled. Not rushed through courses either which made it more enjoyable. Thoroughly recommend.

This was our first experience of Sambo. It was like no other dining experience that we have had before. The service was fantastic throughout. The way you dine is completely different to usual restaurants. You start by going up to the buffet station and loading your plate with suitable accompaniments for your meat. At that point you have a double sided card which you place green side up on the table. This signifies that you are ready to accept some meat. This is brought around by the waitresses on hanging skewers, and carved off as you grab it with mini tongs. Several different meats are brought around all of the tables and you can turn your card to the red side to take a pause, at any time returning to green to continue. It is a great way to dine and leaves time to enjoy your food without rushing. Mila and our other waitress, whose name I didn't get, was attentive and friendly without being intrusive. Would highly recommend and will definitely return.

Incredible! Visited for my partners birthday today, and so glad we came! We'd visited the Sambo in Poole 2 years ago, and it was our first time visiting the weymouth one, definitely one we'd return to in a heartbeat! Service was incredible, the staff were amazing and so friendly, drinks and food both came super quickly and recommendations for drinks were on point too. Restaurant itself was spotless, kept brilliantly clean immediately after tables had ended, nice layout too and great atmosphere. Food speaks for itself here, it's unbeatable for a Brazilian rodizio chain and somewhere that sits comfortably at top of my restaurant recommendations! Would love for there to be more across the country but makes it worth it to come down south to eat here. Thanks for a brilliant night and to the staff working too for a great evening 💫

Recently moved to Weymouth and tried Sambos after recommendations from our locals at the pub we run. The food was phenomenal, Hannah who was looking after us was attentive and so friendly. The desserts were a lovely way to end a beautiful evening in Weymouth. Thank you to the team

Recommended by my friends cousins and wasn't disappointed. Great breakfast and coffee. Great views across the bays! Must be good as we left at 10 q was well out of the door!

Great cakes, coffee and tea (we stopped both ways walking from Osmington Mills to Weymouth). Views are spectacular to!

Popped in for a quick bite to eat after visiting the Roman temple ruins. The cafe has the perfect location looking out over the bay, and has seating both inside and out. Staff were super friendly and even though it was fairly close to closing time they were incredibly accommodating. We had the seafood platter, and even though they did not have a lot of crab meat, they offered to make it up with another part of the platter instead. That being said, the platter had a great portion of each of the seafoods, and the salad was very good too. Personally I really enjoy radish in salads so glad to see it here. We also got a milkshake and a smoothie, the milkshake was a great refresher and my partner said she loved the smoothie. Finally we also had a couple of cakes to finish our lunch, I had a rocky road which was superb, and my partner had the largest slice of coffee and walnut cake, which of course I helped finish off. Definitely worth going for a nice meal with a view!

We had one night in Weymouth and luckily chose this place. From the initial email exchange to payment everything was bang on. Great seating outside on one of the warmest days of the year, a shared crab pate to start followed by two perfect fish dishes, skate wing and a pan fried bass, followed by a superb crème brûlée. Great beer and wine and a great decor. Pretty much perfect. All at a very fair price. Oh and I nearly forgot the samphire, like all the vegetables cooked to perfection.

Our second visit in as many summers. The scallops were divine, the sea bass superb and the cod outstanding. The chowder soup was good too with the accompanying bread pieces. No wonder they were the Best Seafood Establishment of the year for South in 2019 and 2022! We are looking at a third visit when we are in the Dorset area in the future.

Had a nice experience.. The food was lovely and well-priced, great value for money. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, which made the visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Nestled by the busy harbour area of Weymouth this busy fish and chip shop offers a wide range of fresh goods to purchase. There’s a large indoor seating area available too which seems to get busy quickly. I opted for sausage and chips and cod, of which it was served quickly. The chips however seems a little soggy for my liking but were fine to eat. No issues with the sausage but the cod was nice and fresh and batter crispy.

Absolutely the best fish and chips I’ve ever had. We both had regular cod and chips which was a huge portion for a good price, with a side of curry sauce which came in a small gravy boat. The cod batter was fresh and light as well as crispy. The chips were thick and cooked fresh. My son (17months) had the children’s curry and rice which was really nice and had mushrooms and peppers in. There is plenty of seating but it is a little tight with a pram. Would visit again if I was in Weymouth.

Fantastic fish and chips, crisp light batter, great crinkle cut chips (which was a nice surprise), had cod and chips.. no grease on anything. Really tasty mushy peas. Fast friendly service when we sat in.

Food was fantastic, service just as good. We had regular cod and chips with pea fritters. The batter on the cod was nice and crispy, the actually cod was thick and flaky. The pea fitters were breadcrumb coated, most places to batter. I actually prefer them breadcrumb coated. Staff were super friendly, couldn’t do enough for you.

Amazing service from as soon as we walked in the door. The bubbly was delivered for my partners bithday. We were told who our server would be and he couldnt have been any more helpful. He was great with food and sauce choices. I would highly recommend to anyone. We will definetly be returning in the future.

Absolutely incredible! The freshest and yummiest seafood ever. Tried their cattlefish, Dover sole, Portland oysters, and haddock and hake fish and chips 🦪🐟 3 days in a row! Loved it so much.

Amazing service. The food was fantastic. I will eat here every time I'm in the area. The staff is the friendliest. Well done and I cannot wait to visit again soon.

We visited for a little lunch on a quiet weekday. We tried the starter scallops and both had the set menu, tempura prawn and lemon sole. Very delicious, really nice food, great atmosphere. Only complaint, I think the lemon sole should come with a tartare sauce or some sort of sauce on the side, not an additional price. It could do with something extra. I do think this restaurant is quite expensive, but I would still go for a treat. The tempura prawns were beautiful , not oily at all and the scallops were absolutely perfect. Really delicious.

Stopped for a coffee and snack during a walk. It was a lovely sunny and warm September morning and we were lucky to get the only spare table outside. We had coffee and a lovely slice of homemade read pudding (which was especially scrummy). There was an Ironman race going on which added a bit of a spectacle to the visit. The café looks pretty and clean and the staff seemed to be greeting a few regulars which is always a good sign!

Great experience from beginning to end. Lovely staff, GREAT coffee! Tasty breakfast and excellent bread for toast. This is a must stop place for a breakfast in Weymouth. 10/10!

Eating in England isn't exactly always a satisfactory experience... But at the Hamilton's you'll be sure to enjoy delicious food, with fine fish, preciously cooked vegetables accompanied with an excellent sauce which balances the overall composition, while contemplating the sea with a marvelous view. Be sure to taste the amazing ice cream too! The staff is also very nice.

Fantastic food in a fantastic location served by ultra-friendly staff! Definitely a place to enjoy a ‘special’ meal in Weymouth particularly as you are out of range of the smell of fish and chip shops!! We sat outside on a Tuesday lunchtime which was beautiful but not great for atmosphere. Great value for the quality of food served particularly the salmon trout speciality! Will definitely be back on our next visit to Weymouth!

Great meal whilst on holiday... Lovely, good quality food, great service. Would definitely recommend! Wish we lived closer!

Had a wonderful Sunday lunch at The Bridge Inn! The food was fantastic, with generous portion sizes available in a choice of three sizes to suit any appetite. Everything tasted almost homemade, with that comforting, hearty flavor that’s hard to beat. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a delicious, filling Sunday meal in a cozy setting. Will definitely be back!
