Lulworth Lodge Bistro

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

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.

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. Visualizza piatti

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.

Stopped in for lunch after a walk around the bay wonderful place. Very happy we did though at first a little nervous as the prices seemed a bit topsy we settled for an inside table due to the wind ordering at the bar we had good IPA and ordered moles mariniere frites, Berr battered Cod Chips. Both dishes were excellent with the mussels being the freshest I have tasted since being introduced to the dish in Brussels decades ago. Staff friendly and obliging an altogether terrific lunch.

The staff are amazing!! We visited for dinner but it was too busy on a Sunday night which is always a good sign! for my rescue dog; he got stressed and started to bark and get stressed. The staff were very understanding and accommodating, really good people, but in the end I had to bring him home. The staff were so kind and packed up my dinner for me. I just got home and ate my dinner which is also amazing! Very healthy, fish cooked to perfection, and so tasty. I would fully recommend this place. A very warm welcome, even for its most challenging customers, and food I look forward to sampling again soon! Visualizza piatti

Stopped here for lunch after paddle boarding at Lulworth Cove. Was really looking forward to some nice food before heading on the long journey back home. Unfortunately lunch was just okay. My partner had the crab sandwich which she said was nice, but my halloumi burger was a bit of a let down. The portion was huge served in two Gf burger buns, which was too much bread for me. It was a bit off putting. The halloumi in the burger was really tough and chewy. I love halloumi but I think this was way over cooked. It was also served in the bun with chilli jam and cucumber which just wasn’t to my taste. Love chilli jam, but the cucumber had done all squish and it wasn’t nice. I picked that out. Fri...

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 sa...

We returned this year for dinner after having a lovely experience last year. We ordered a starter and main, the starter we both chose as the ‘New Forest Rosary Goats cheese’. This was advertised as being served with walnuts, apple and a honey dressing at a cost of £9. When it arrived it was simply a bowl full of lettuce leaves with a sprinkle of goats cheese and 5 slices of apple. We were both hugely disappointed as this was definitely not as advertised. We expressed our disappointment and returned the dishes. We explained that the description was misleading and that our expectation was of majority goats cheese with walnut apple and the dressing not 80% lettuce which was in fact not even men...
