Clavells Restaurant

As always Clavells deliver . We had booked and so were in the restaurant but if you just turn up and eat outside, service and quality of food excellent. Friendly.

Great service, lovely staff and amazing food! Will book again!

Excellent Service, no waiting. JUST WHAT WAS REQUIRED. Could not be better

Delicious food with excellent service when the restaurant was very busy. Thank you team Clavell

Very impressed with the fish pie - tasty and filling. The sweets too were good, as was the service by the friendly and efficient staff. Definitely recommended.

We visited today for a roast dinner. It was delicious and exceeded our expectations. We'll definitely visit again 😃.

Amazing food , so much quality on your plate, flavours were perfect and would highly recommend. Can’t wait to visit again. Thank

Great food and a lovely range to choose from. A great place to visit if you are in the area.

Fantastic family owned restaurant, with extremely friendly staff and very tasty food. Definitely worth the drive to Kimmeridge

We enjoyed a delicious unhurried lunch and appreciated the new decor. An improvement would be to damp down the noise levels as currently there is nothing I could see to absorb the sounds of happy diners…..

An excellent meal in such lovely surroundings was just superb

such a lovely place to have a meal, food excellent

Great food , we had a lovely evening! thank you

Food of quality and quantity and lovely staff. Have been going here a few times a year since 1960

2nd visit, 1st in April. Absolutely amazing breakfast, using good local produce!

It was great to be able to sit outside and enjoy the food.

Restaurant was clean & great food & service was excellent

Very helpful and friendly clean tidy Dogs are allowed 🌼😊

Delicious salmon main meals. Friendly service. Pricy bill for a cafe when you are sitting in a family children environment. Maybe nice to have 2 areas with a quieter adult section.

Had a great visit will defo be back. Wonderful staff and location, super clean and brilliant food! Thank you

After a beautiful walk on a ridge above the coastline, lunch at Clavell's is wonderful. The menu is very good, the service fast and friendly and the food is excellent. They like dogs too. I recommend reserving, even on a Monday

Beautiful food, fantastic setting, love it ! We live 2hrs drive away but go down just to visit clavells and beautiful kimmeridge. Highly recommend

The usual good service and excellent food as usual again

What a find. Superb restaurant excellent food fantastic service. Will certainly visit again next time we are in Dorset.

Once again you did an amazing job looking after a large party. Food it’s usual excellent standard

Aways have a lovely meal at Clavells been there a lot of times and everyone who works there are always so helpful love going there lovely atmosphere

Very satisfactory, we have been to Clavells numerous times over the years

Very very good - lovely sunny day which helps a lot

Well recommended, the whitebait starter was over generous, but lovely, Sea Bass was great and the Thai Curry even better. You should booik in advance and not just risk it!

Fantastic venue, amazing food and the staff were lovely 😍

Great food and atmosphere, the only reason for dropping a point was that the mussels were a little dried out (looked like they had been sat under the counter for a while before serving), which considering that they were £18, was a little disappointing, but everything else, particularly the calamari, was excellent.

Lovely lunch , quick service , good value - beautiful setting and shady tables on a very warm day . Huge crab sandwiches . Pints of chilled soft drinks much appreciated .

Great food, great cocktails and really good service. Can get really busy so at least using the online booking service we knew we would definitely get a table. Thankyou

Very Good food and excellent service from polite staff highly recommended

Wonderful welcome from Emma. Delicious sharing seafood platter, our friends enjoyed the Thai Fish Curry washed down with a beautifully chilled South African White Wine. Nothing too much trouble ..., Our second visit but not our last!

Surprised that dogs were allowed inside the restaurant. The halibut was excellent.

Lovely food and service was great. Cant wait to go back.

Plump mussels & lovely halibut, not too busy on a weekday. Well worth the drive for a splendid meal.

Amazing restaurant, very clean and tidy. Waiter was superb ! Very well dressed and very polite couldn’t of wanted more. The food was gorgeous and very good portion sizes. I will definitely be returning hopefully soon.

What a fabulous restaurant and incredibly friendly and welcoming staff. Food was delicious. Thank you for a lovely experience it made our weekend. We will be back!

The staff were lovely, but the whole experience was let down by the food quality, after reading previous reviews was very disappointed, my partner had the Thai curry which did not taste of Thai food at all, I had the special which turned out to be a starter! The waiter told me it came with a side salad but it was only very little garnish, on the positive the setting was lovely

The menu choice was poor. I appreciate that due to current circumstances menus are reduced but there was no variety to the menu. Sadly the venue is not as good as it was in 2018 and 2019 (we went a number of times during these years and food, service and quality was excellent). We were unable to visit in 2020 due to the pandemic and this is our first experience this year which was poor.

Our meals were lovely and not small portions either. Service was friendly and the balloons for mums birthday was lovely. Thank you Clavells we Will visit again soon x

We go quite often , and love it there, taking more friends next week.

They seemed to be short staffed as we had to wait quite a while to pay our bill, and the chef was delivering meals ( we did feel he should have a mask on when in the main restaurant area ) One meal had been forgotten and by the time it came out of the kitchen the rest of us were half way through our meal. One of our party is gluten free and the ham eggs and chips which she always has there wasn’t on the menu, luckily as we were there before two o’clock she was able to have an omelette . The meals were large portions and hot.

Good service. Clean environment. At times the music too loud for a small area.

Well up to the standards we have come to expect from Clavells

Had the sea food platter to share which was amazing however you don’t need the chips because the fish of is plentiful

It was a beautiful day and the restaurant and outside tables almost completely full, but the kitchen was still able to deliver our food within a reasonable time. Most of the menu was seafood, which suited us, though a lot of it was deep-fried. The quality was good and we had a lovely afternoon!

Perfect setting and breakfast!! Excellent. Would recommend to anyone. Thank you
