Weymouth Eating Out Guide

Romantic restaurants, quaint coffee shops, sumptuous seafood...Weymouth has it all!

Weymouth is still very much a working fishing harbour, so seafood is inevitably a speciality of the town. Many of the places to eat in Weymouth offer locally-caught sea bass, mackerel, grey mullet, crab, lobster and squid (in season), so you won't get much fresher!

Even if you aren't a lover of seafood, you will still be spoilt for choice in Weymouth. Everyone is catered for. Why not try the sizzling steaks, locally-reared lamb and pork, or vegetarian options and salads, finished off with a scrumptious hand-made dessert or an ice cream from the Isle of Purbeck? And with food being served most of the day, you can just pop in when the time suits you, so you'll never go hungry.

Weymouth is a family resort so children are well-catered for. Many eating places provide high chairs, play equipment and special children's menus to make your family feel really welcome.

Being one of the sunniest places in England, Weymouth is very much embracing the continental habit of alfresco dining. Why not sip a long cool beer in a pretty pub garden, or watch the boats go by from one of the harbourside's fine dining restaurants?

Dining in Weymouth has never been a more pleasurable experience, with more than 35 restaurants and bistros to choose from, each offering a mouth-watering array of global cuisine. You could:

• take a break at one of Weymouth's numerous cafes and coffee shops for a freshly brewed coffee, a cream tea or perhaps even a slice of delicious Dorset Apple Cake with clotted cream
• treat yourself to a gourmet three-course meal, made using the best of local produce, at one of Weymouth's award-winning restaurants
• relax and unwind with a pint of local ale or a chilled glass of Chardonnay in one of the character pubs or contemporary bars along the seafront
• sit on the harbourside and savour your fish and chips the traditional way, straight from the paper
• pick up a pizza, a Chinese or an Indian take away for a quiet night in front of the telly
• sample the best of Dorset's produce at the regular farmers' market and take some home-made treats back with you.
