The Square & Compass

Worth Matravers, Swanage

Came here with my fiancé and tiny dog and absolutely loved it.

The food was delicious, we both had sausage rolls which were heavenly, brownies which were amazing with some salted caramel ice cream.

The staff/owners were fantastic to talk to, so friendly and the view of the country side as we sat outside was breathtaking.

Cannot recommend here enough, very, very kind people, delicious food and fantastic scenery.

We had the mussels starter, scallops and pint of prawns. All were delicious - coming from two people who find it sometimes hard to do seafood! I would definitely eat here again!!!

The Royal Oak

Royal Oak, 417 High St, Swanage

We went to the Royal Oak for a Sunday Roast and honestly it was perhaps the best roast we have ever had (no exaggeration).

The food was all freshly home cooked, the beef was as tender as could be, portion sizes were plentiful and there was an assortment of 9-10 vegetables to accompany the meat.

Service was as friendly and pleasant as you could want.

This is not just the best place to go for a roast in Swanage but Dorset and wider afield too.

The Hungry Shark

9 Shore Road, Swanage

I stopped by Hungry Shark and had such a pleasant experience. At first I got a little turned around trying to find the place (there’s an amusement park right next door, so I honestly thought the restaurant was part of it). I walked in a bit confused and headed straight to the counter, not even sure if you’re supposed to order there or wait for someone to come by, but the staff were incredibly kind and helpful, which made everything easy.

I ordered cod and fries with a Coke, and my food came out in about ten minutes. The portion was big, and everything looked fresh. The fries were crispy and really tasty, and the little salad on the side (iceberg lettuce, onion, tomato) with a slice of lemon was a nice touch. The fish was delicious, cooked just right, and didn’t have that heavy oil smell you sometimes run into at traditional chip shops. Prices were very reasonable too.

Inside, the place feels cozy and welcoming: comfortable booths, palm décor, clean space, and a lovely view of the sea. It’s the kind of spot where you can sit back, relax, and enjoy your meal without rushing. I’ll definitely be coming back, and I’m giving them the highest rating.

Chilled Red

1-5 Commercial Road, Swanage

What a wonderful restaurant! Every aspect of our evening was perfect, without fault.
How refreshing, to eat fish in a restaurant that isn't the usual farmed variety.
Staff were super professional, friendly and knowledgeable of the food and wine we had.
Andrew the chef is so obviously in love with his art, the perfect cooking of every dish, and simply, but tastefully presented.
Probably the best restaurant in Swanage

Crab Apple Catering

Unit 7, Anvil Centre, Prospect Way, Swanage

I ordered a 8” Victoria sponge decorated. It exceeded expectations. I find it really hard ordering from catering companies due to nut allergies and crab apple were really helpful and understanding. They ensured I was safe and ran me through all their allergy procedures. The cake was amazing and the portion size was incredibly generous. They may all their jams themselves and it was great.

The Salt Pig Too

7A Station Road, Swanage

Boy oh boy, what a lunch. It's a bit hip and happ'nin' for a couple of pensioners and their dog but brave the hipster vibe for outrageously good food, especially the sides, and especially the coronation carrot (believe me, sounds weird, tastes brilliant). Bought a loaf of bread on the way out - £5 a loaf! - but what bread. Had to come for another one later in the week. And another one before we go home. Life's too short to eat cheap bread.
