A gem of a country pub, the Square and Compass has heaps of character. Award winning beers and ciders are served through old serving hatches and food consists mainly of good old home-made pasties. There are lovely views across the fields to the sea and some great stretches of the South West Coast Path to walk nearby.
Set in 15 acres in the lovely Isle of Purbeck region of Dorset. This family-run pick your own farm has been growing fruit and veg since the 1970s. There's also a farm shop, plant nursery and tea room here where you can enjoy a cream tea made with Holme made jam.
A traditional Dorset country inn with the Isle of Purbeck Brewery on the premises. A cosy bar is warmed by log fires in winter and the extensive gardens are perfect for alfresco dining in summer. Dogs are welcome.
The Black Swan Inn is a charming grade II listed building situated in the heart of Swanage where you will find cosy interiors and secluded gardens for alfresco dining. A good range of ales, ciders and wines are available alongside pub grub and dogs are welcome both inside and out.
A lovely little find, tucked away at the entrance to this little beach. Joe a friendly lady with five kids and a delectable selection of homemade cakes. She also lets you borrow beach toys for free - 'it's good karma'.
Perched on the edge of the Isle of Purbeck this cafe is worth a visit for the stunning sea views alone.Whether your after a snack on the beach or a more substantial three course dinner, the food is locally sourced as much as possible and the menu changes daily. Arrive by boat and park up in the marina next door or take the scenic route by road through the surrounding National Park.
Originally a grain house, this grade II listed building sits on the banks of the river Frome. Enjoy alfresco dining on the roof terrace overlooking the water or warm up in front of warming woodburning stoves in winter.
In an amzing position on Studland Bay this restaurant uses produce either foraged or from the kitchen garden. Other food is locally sourced and served as fresh as can be.
Right in the centre of town, the farmers' market coincides with a popular weekly street market. Held on the fourth Thursday of the month, 9am-1pm.
