One of the great lasting memories of any break away is finding fantastic places to enjoy and buy some incredible local food and drink. 

Want to eat in a restaurant where the food on your plate has come from their own kitchen garden or that the wine in your glass is from the local vineyard? Well that’s not a problem, as there are hundreds of eateries all over Dorset who serve local produce.

Local produce that dazzles the taste buds!

Dorset has some of the finest food and drink to be found anywhere and is famous the world over for its quality and quantity.

With our mild climate and fertile soil, the county is home to some of the finest local produce.  Couple that with some of the freshest seafood and you'll see why Dorset has a winning combination for fabulous food and drink. And as we know it’s important to you to know exactly where your fish or steak has come from, if it was farmed or caught in the area, we’ll definitely be telling you about it, so look on menus for local specialities.

Why not have a wander around one of the county’s many farmers’ markets, have a chat to some of the producers themselves and stock up on some wonderful local produce? You won’t believe the range of delicious food and drink on offer, much of which is organic and produced just a few miles from the market itself.

There are also many events taking place across the county throughout the year that celebrate our wonderful foodie delights. Enjoy a perfect day out where you can taste lots of produce, buy from some local producers and pick up tips at cookery demonstrations by top chefs from Dorset.

Enjoy delicious food and drink in delightful locations

Dorset boasts a number of award winning restaurants, tea rooms, seafront cafes and traditional Dorset pubs.

There really is something for all tastes, whatever your hunger craves.

With the quality of produce available in Dorset it is no wonder that some of the UK’s finest celebrity chefs have chosen Dorset as the location to set up their restaurants.  What could be better than having one of the country’s finest chefs working with the best local produce to prepare a dish just for you?

Tasty Takeaways

Right now, the good old British takeaway has never been so in demand. And in response to the Coronavirus crisis, many of Dorset’s restaurants, pubs and cafes are now offering new takeaway services to collect or have delivered to your door.

It’s not just about Chinese, Pizza and Curry takeaways any more. Indulge in Sushi, French cuisine, Roast Dinners, Thai and of course Fish and Chips.

So give the cooker and dishwasher a break and support Dorset’s businesses with a takeaway at home.

Wash it all down with wonderful wines and awesome ales!

Whilst in Dorset make sure you sample some of our award winning ales and wines produced right here in Dorset.

Take a tour at of Palmers Brewery, England’s oldest thatched operating brewery or enjoy the fruits of the Furleigh Estate’s labour and enjoy a glass of award winning wine produced by vines growing on their rolling hills.

Make sure you visit Langham Estate Wine, where you can follow the production process from grape to bottle of their outstanding English Sparkling Wine…we’re bubbling with excitement already!

Ready to book your foodie break?

If good food and drink is a must for your holiday, Dorset is the place for you!

Make sure you book your break now and tantalise those taste buds with delicious Dorset fayre!
