About

Clavells Restaurant founded in 2008, is nestled in the charming picture box village of Kimmeridge on the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset, one mile inland from the World Heritage Jurassic Coast. Being part of a family that have farmed in the Purbeck’s since 1958, we are passionate about offering delicious locally sourced food at an attractive price.

Our ethos “from field to fork” is reflected in the menu, all lamb, pork and beef dishes are lovingly made from meat that has been butchered on our “Kimmeridge” family farm. Fish and shell fish is caught from the nearby Dorset coast, all other produce used is fresh and sourced locally wherever possible.

Our seasonal menu can be enjoyed in our restaurant or ‘alfresco’ on fine afternoons and during the summer time. The menu is imaginative, relaxed and informal offering an array of delicious home breakfasts, lunches and traditional afternoon teas as well as excellent wines and local beers.

Celebrate summer with quintessentially British fish and chips every Thursday and Friday night from May to September. Eat in or take-away. Our full restaurant menu is also available.
