Dorset Pubs & Restaurants
Dorset is gaining a reputation as something of a foodie destination - in addition to the ever-popular seaside fish and chips (and we'd like to think Dorset does this best!), there are always lots of new and exciting pubs, restaurants and cafes popping up, serving dishes to suit every palate and wallet.
Whether you prefer your food from the sea, the land or the soil there will be eateries to suit, many now also offer gluten free options, either on the menu or upon request.
