About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
Perched on the hillside offering panoramic views of The Cobb and Jurassic Coast, The Oyster & Fish House is arguably the most picturesque spot in Dorset to enjoy locally sourced fish and seafood. A large terrace wraps around the informal, light and airy dining room offering the perfect al fresco experience with unrivalled views of the coastline.

We support our local fishermen, so you may often see them bringing their catch up to the restaurant. In addition to a selection of snacks and starters, you can expect simply grilled fish on the bone, and of course, the delicious Dorset oysters and shellfish we have on our doorstep. The menu can change twice a day depending on what the fishermen bring to us. Please note we do not serve meat dishes, but we do have vegetarian, vegan and kids dishes available.

Large tables are welcomed, and for bookings of 8 or more we do ask you to pre-order your meal.

Please note we only accept card payments

    Great atmosphere for a relaxed boozy lunch. Lovely food, fizz and red wine. Beautiful views over the bay. A special day for us both.

    Food lovely, have been coming here for years with my wife and children, the service was far from good,tbh asking a very young person what wine they recommend obviously never having drunk wine themselves was a silly mistake to make, I know the restaurant is shutting down next week but I would have thought there were standards that should have been met that obviously were not

    We wanted to enjoy a dinner before the restaurant closes next weekend. We have been here so many times before and will miss the food, the drink and the fabulous food. Thank you.
