Quite possibly the best view in Swanage. You can dine or just have a coffee and look at Bournemouth & the Isle of Wight.Nice food, reasonably priced and friendly staff.

With a stunning view over Swanage bay, home cooked food at sensible prices and friendly staff, you can't go wrong. In the summer there are plenty of outside seats to relax in, and perhaps enjoy a cake in the middle of a walk along the coastal path. In the winter, the food is fresh and well cooked.

We booked a table for three to have lunch on a Wednesday. We have eaten here many times before so knew what to expect. Good service and hot food is the order of the day here. The table was ready when we arrived and we ordered without delay. Two of us had the large fish and chips and it was better than ever. A large piece of battered fish with chips and peas and all nice and hot. Our other diner had one of the ?specials? of the day which was a chicken and leek pie. Lots of chicken, bacon and leek in the pie. It had a nice light pastry top. The accompanying vegetables were also very good, kale and carrots. Again it was all nice and hot. We ended the meal with three cappuccino coffees and yes again, nice and hot. There are a lot of restaurants that could do well to come here and see what this restaurant does well on a daily basis. They may learn something! So to sum up - good hot food and good service. I have no hesitation in awarding it 5 bubbles.

I called in to the castle for breakfast and asked for a full English without beans. The meal turned up and looked good but the piece of sourdough toast was so small that I went to the counter and asked for another slice as I didn't have any beans. The waitress went into the kitchen and came back a couple of minutes later followed by an older person (who I later found out was the manageress) who told me with a snarl that "we don't do swap outs. It quite clearly states that on the menu but I can sell you a piece". I thought how mean. It wasn't as if I wanted another sausage, just a piece of toast in place of the beans. Just think what a little goodwill would have achieved instead of me spreading the word of poor customer service !! And while mentioning sausages, they are rubbish. Everything else appeared to be good quality but when you are paying top dollar, you would expect to have a local sausage !!

Amazing views in a beautiful historic building. The food tasted very much home made, tasty fish cakes with a delicious warm tartare sauce. Fresh sardines with a chimmichurri sauce. They had good gluten free option also. Wine was good value.
