The Seaside Boarding House

Unparalleled views over Lyme Bay at The Seaside Boarding House

Set on the cliffs overlooking Dorset’s sweeping Chesil Beach and Lyme Bay, The Seaside Boarding House is a real treasure to be found on the Jurassic Coast.

Whether visiting for lunch or dinner, diners can look forward to modern British dishes which champion seasonal produce sourced from Dorset’s fishing boats, farms and smallholdings.

When the weather’s good, enjoy the edible delights from a terrace overlooking Chesil Beach: it’s a popular spot in which to simultaneously drink in the views and a signature cocktail. However, don’t fret if the alfresco tables are full as the restaurant’s patio doors are flung open when the sun’s out.

For more informal occasions, the bar menu comes into its own when a bracing seaside walk leads to a yearning for a crab sarnie and chips.

Trencherman’s tip: if you’re looking for somewhere to rest during your coastal adventures, you’ll find nine smart bedrooms upstairs with unrivalled sea views.
