Best Seasonal Restaurants in Swanage

From the moment we arrived the staff were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and helpful. We had a small child with us and the staff went out of their way to cater to their dietary needs and adapt a meal to suit their tastes. The food is exceptional, bursting with wonderful full flavours and portions large enough to leave everyone feeling very full. Every plate was completely empty, no one wanted to miss a single bite of the food. I really highly recommend the restaurant, it's always such a fantastic experience from start to finish, and has easily become my favourite restaurant for all occasions.

Visited for the first time today, although myself and hubby have visited a number of ivys in the past and the new Bournemouth brasserie lived up to the high expectations of the Ivy. We were greeted with very friendly, welcoming and accommodating staff that honestly could not do enough for us. The decor is absolutely stunning and the service from start to finish was impeccable, we felt like royalty!! Most importantly the food was stunning. It was served to us in a very timely manner, well presented, hot and it was extremely delicious. We have already booked for Valentine’s weekend as we were totally blown away by the whole dining experience. Thank you and merry Christmas to all the wonderful hardworking staff at the Ivy that really did go above and beyond to make our experience a fantastic one.

The service we received was brilliant. Staff were both professional and friendly . Food was excellent - looked good and tasted good . The only comment I would make was that the restaurant was a little chilly.

Lovely location in a charming village with plenty of parking in their own car park. Restaurant itself is clean and well presented with lots of interesting things to look at. It was very quiet when we were there as it was out of season but the owner kindly stayed open late to acomodate us. The staff were very pleasant and attentive, but not intrusive, and willing to chat when spoken to - very knowledgable about the area. Most importantly the food is outstanding - absolutely delicious and hot! Not a single complaint from all six of us and I am sure we will be returning.

A must visit if you like great pub with luxurious surroundings,very professional staff and fantastic food Can’t fault it The best in area ! Thank you
