Lulworth Lodge Bistro - Purbeck

Popped in on the off chance that we might find a light lunch for us in a wet and chilly day. My wife is celiac and so can only have gluten free stuff; I have dangerously high cholesterol levels so follow a vegan diet. We are the customers from hell. it's realy difficult for us to find something suitable. We both went for the soup (parsnip and celeriac). Best soup I have ever tasted. Service was great, prices reasonable. Excellent.

A lovely, friendly place to stay. All the staff are a credit to the hotel. It's nice to see a smiley face at breakfast. Clean cosy rooms. Food was fantastic. Big shout out to Rose and Ellie who couldn't do enough. Definitely recommended

We were staying in the next door hotel, which, unfortunately, only served pizza .. so while speaking to workers on the boats, they recommended to eat here , and boy did it deliver.. Great warm welcome from man, very polite and attentive. We ordered and shared our starter and sweet . Scallops , so meaty and tasty , cheese board for afters , so good and both presented beautifully. Main course my partner had the burger , wow , what a tasty burger this was, myself the seafood lingene, tasty with mussels, king prawns and crayfish . Mussel Bay wine was fresh and well recommended, too. As we had received great food and service , we booked for 2 days later to celebrate my birthday. We have always said that we wanted to share a lobster, so this was pre ordered, and never failed in what we were looking for never had before . Again a great welcome from our Australian waiter Dan if I'm correct who unfortunately was moving home the next day,he will be a big loss as he was exceptional . We also had a lovely young lady serve us , who too was attentive and polite .I would totally recommend this place for the food, drink and service . Thank you for the special birthday board , very much appreciated.

My partner and I had dinner here on a busy August evening. I did book in advance, and I’m glad I did as people were being turned away as we ate. I must say the starter is one of the best starters I’ve ever had. It was a lovely meal, very well presented, tasty served by happy attentive and friendly staff. A great start to a lovely week in beautiful Dorset.

We visited this place for lunch during high season. It being close to the sea I ordered mackerel. Something I only ever sample when I am close to the see. Unfortunately my two mackerel would barely qualify as sardines. I appreciate our seas are depleted these days but if you can’t get adequate produce then don’t have it on the menu. Very unsatisfying. I expended more energy finding the meat on the mackerel than I got from consuming it.
