Downhouse Farm Cafe

We are an al fresco café serving breakfast 10.00 - 11.30 am, our main menu until 4.00pm and homemade cakes and cream teas all day. We are licensed and sell local ales and ciders.

Reviewed By Rome_at_Easter - Wiltshire UK

Really annoyed that directions from Thorncombe Beacon began well then became really poor, we walked probably almost to the farm then the directions were really faint on a chalk board & we got totally lost. Please check your signage from the Coastal path. Waste of our time. And we ended up walking through farmland rather than along the coast. Cross.

Seagulls Restaurant

We always let the food,service and our reputation speak for us .....going on 23 years and still here ...must be doing something right !!

Reviewed By Barrie A - Loughborough, United Kingdom

We went for dinner at Seagulls in September. My wife is still talking about our meal, it was excellent. We both had grilled hake fillet with a crust of Cheddar cheese and a cheese sauce accompanied by boiled potatoes and vegetables. It was accompanied by a very palatable Rose wine. We skipped dessert because we were quite full and had an Irish Coffee instead. The very pleasant waitress promised that it would be as it should be. We have often been disappointed with Irish Coffees in some establishment, they just do not seem to get it right. However these coffees were perfect, with just the right amount of cream floating on top and not too much Jamiesons. The atmosphere was pleasant, the staff friendly, all in all a very nice experience.

Reviewed By Lisa B - Poole, England, United Kingdom

On holiday near Bridport, tried the olive tree based on previous reviews.
Not disappointed.
Starters of pate and prawns delicious, especially the sauce the prawns were in.
Mains of hake and the seafood spectacular were very tasty.
Amazing amount of fish and mussels etc In ‘the spectacular’ all cooked well and my husband states ‘it is the best seafood dish ‘ he has had!!
Oh.....and pudding of slated caramel cheesecake was divine.
Well done, definitely worth a visit.
