Going down to the flat in swanage easter weekend,

Any suggestions of where to eat, upmarket and casual?

Thanks in advance

The Crab House

Ferry Bridge, Portland Road,

Weymouth

Dorset

01305 788867

At the risk of sounding like a B52, this crab shack is a little old place....

well actually it's a newish Terrapin hut on an industrial estate just past the commercial dock in Weymouth but that doesn't scan It also does blindingly fresh fish, minimally mucked with and has been well reviewed by inter alia, our own Jay R..

It's by far and away my favourite place on that entire stretch of coast even if it is rather distressingly 'real'.

And, ooh, a really irritating 45 minute drive from Swanage.

I was in Swanage in September and being the good little foodie I am, I did a great deal of research to try and find anywhere decent to eat. I came up with nothing. Sorry!

However there is a little bistro place near the pier that sells local oysters and glasses of cava. That's about the best I did.
