We have been visiting Seagulls for the last 15 years, whenever we're in Dorset. The food is always superb and the service friendly and efficient. Their Sunday roasts are the best ever and fish dishes are perfectly cooked. Highly recommend.Vegetarian options: The Thai butternut squash curry was delicious.Kid-friendliness: They were so adaptable when it came to our grandchildren's needs/choices.

Excellent food at realistic prices, fabulous Sunday lunch, friendly staff. Very limited parking so have to pay for car park but well worth it for good food very reasonably priced. Will be back next year.

Early evening meal here whilst staying in West Bay. Fairly busy at 6.30/7 and only one waitress, Maisie, due to staff sickness. Maisie was a real star, unflappable and still had time to chat and check up on each table. No delay with our orders from the Specials board of crab soup and fried squid to start, then hake and plaice, both beautifully cooked. Decent bottle of Pinot Grigio. Lemon posset and ice cream to finish. Would definitely revisit if in the area.

Excellent food and service. We couldn’t have had a better evening. The waitress was so obliging and couldn’t have done more for us. Would definitely go back again.

Wow Wow Wow managed to book a table at the last minute. I was not feeling too well so only had the scampi main but they were the best scampi I have had for years.My wife however had the prawn cocktail to start, the fresh hake baked in the oven and the star of the show Chrissies homemade bread and butter pudding and she said it was the best meal she had had for ages. We have a mobile home and will be coming to West Bay again mainly to go to Seagulls . What a find!!

We were visiting an elderly relative who lives locally. She booked a table for a Thursday night at 6.00pm. The restaurant was surprisingly busy considering how early it was. Staff all seemed very pleasant and helpful. The menu is not huge, but there's a range of dishes to suit most tastes. Fish features heavily as you would expect. We had 2 lamb shanks, and a steak. All were nicely presented, and delicious. Vegetables were fresh, and well cooked. We had 2 fudge cakes for dessert. The lady who took us couldn't manage one! These were lovely too, and came with pouring cream. A very pleasant experience overall and a nice atmosphere. My advice would be to book in advance, particularly during peak season and at weekends.
Seagulls in West Bay is a real find. We’ve been staying in the area for a week and have eaten there three times. The food is outstanding and the service perfect - courteous, helpful, friendly and polite, Seagulls is not a huge restaurant and last night was very busy - 22 covers. We were given a warm welcome, and were shown to our table by the very nice young lady who had be waiting on tables during each of our visits. She apologised that she was on her own but that she’d try not to keep us waiting too long. She did a great job making sure that everyone got what they wanted - she was the consummate processional,. We probably had to wait about five minutes longer than usual so no big deal. The food was outstanding and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Thanks Seagulls for making our holiday so special - we’re already looking forward to coming back to you next year.

Absolutley amazing food served perfectly, a fabulous dining experience from booking the table right through to the end. My wife and I cannot recommend the Seagull highly enough, well done team.

Very disappointed with this restaurants seemingly lack of interest in taking bookings. Tried to phone them twice with no reply so left a message & asked them to call back which they didn't. Called in person 2 days before my requested booking & my request had not been noted, girl I spoke to most unapologetic.

As a Michelin star chef myself, I was disappointed when the chef said he hadn’t got time to take my plaice off the bone! If he worked in my restaurant, I would have dismissed him immediately!
