Food & Drink

Dorset is home to some of the finest, most delicious, first-class food you'll ever taste! With its reputation for freshly caught fish, organic blue cheeses, specialist breads, local ales, award-winning handmade chocolates and the sheer luxury of local, premium ice cream – you are never far away from exceptionally good food in Dorset.

Stock up on fresh, local and organic produce at one of our farmers' markets or head to a country pub for a ploughman's lunch served with crumbly Blue Vinney cheese. If you're feeling peckish in the afternoon, find a village tearoom and indulge in some famous Dorset Apple Cake with a dollop of clotted cream. Come evening, you'll find plenty of award winning restaurants, some even run by the culinary stars of our TV screens, perfect for those special occasions.
