Bridge House Hotel, Beaminster, Dorset Bridge House Hotel, Beaminster, Dorset

Restaurant

At the heart of the hotel is its celebrated Dorset restaurant, where you'll find a rare blend of old Dorset recipes, with modern cooking techniques and presentation. Our style is traditional English, sourcing ingredients from all over Dorset and beyond. Our philosophy is ‘Keep it simple. No compromise on quality.’ The restaurant has recently featured in the BBC’s ‘Good Food Magazine.’

Two Ways to Dine at the Bridge House

Whether taking a light lunch in the conservatory, enjoying alfresco dining outside in the walled garden or indulging in a candle-lit dinner in the Georgian dining room, the hotel caters for most tastes.

Our a la carte menu changes with the seasons along with individually priced Daily Specials where we single out what we think is the freshest or most exciting produce that day. All our stocks and sauces are homemade. Bread is baked in house along with our scrumptious biscuits, ice-creams & sorbets. And no-one betters our truffles!

Fine DiningCold meat and cheese platter

For almost 20 years the BridgeHouse has built its reputation around fantastic food. The Fine Dining restaurant is where that reputation was built and remains today the hotel's cornerstone of excellence. You will still find immacculately starched white tablecloths, attentive waiting staff and best of all, the very finest culinary treats, Fine Dining Head Chef, Linda Paget, can muster. She has been with the hotel for 13 years and knows a thing or two about fine food. Currently, she is offering a choice of four delicious Starters, Mains and Desserts. Watercress soup with poached egg & creme fraiche; fillet of Dorset lamb wrapped in leeks with herbs, local wild garlic and tarragon juice; or tranche of turbot mouginoise, roast salsify, jus Sauternes; with rhubarb confit naval oranges, candied fennel and mascarpone sorbet. Average price for three courses is £33 per head.
