Food& Drink

West Dorset Food & Drink

One of the best parts of staying with us is having some fantastic food and drink spots right on your doorstep. From cosy country pubs to seaside bites and local favourites, there’s plenty to explore just a short walk or drive away.

We’ve pulled together a few of our go-to places — the ones we recommend to friends and guests time and time again. Whether you’re after a relaxed pint at the Five Bells, a bite by the sea, or a great coffee and cake stop, you’ll find something to suit every mood.

Felicities Farm Shop

Just a short drive away, Felicity’s Farm Shop is perfect for picking up fresh, local produce and everyday essentials.

From good coffee and homemade treats to quality ingredients, it’s a really handy spot to have nearby. There’s also a lovely little sit-down café, ideal for a relaxed coffee or bite to eat, with beautiful views stretching out to the sea, with Golden Cap in the distance on a clear day.

Charlie Farmer's Local Produce Hut

“Charlie Farmer” is our lovely neighbour at Copsegate Farm just down the road.  He has a little hut in his driveway which is full of his own produce including pork, beef and eggs.   

He even has a little card reader so you don’t need to worry about finding cash!

The Five Bells in Whitchurch

Just a short walk from the farm, The Five Bells is our local and somewhere we (and our guests) love to visit. Run by Joanna, it’s a friendly, welcoming pub with a relaxed atmosphere and really good home-cooked food.

It’s the kind of place you can wander down to and feel right at home — whether you’re popping in for a drink or settling in for a lovely meal after a day exploring.

Symmondsbury Kitchen

Set at the foot of Colmer’s Hill, Symondsbury Kitchen is a lovely spot for breakfast, lunch or a relaxed coffee in beautiful surroundings.

It’s a favourite for its fresh, seasonal food and laid-back atmosphere — perfect for starting your day, stopping off after a walk, or just sitting and taking in the view.

The Anchor at Seatown

Right on the seafront at Seatown, The Anchor is a great spot for food and a drink with a view. With the beach just steps away and the cliffs rising behind, it’s hard to beat the setting.

It’s perfect after a coastal walk or a day by the sea — whether you’re stopping for something to eat, a drink in the sunshine, or just to take in the view and atmosphere.
