Cauldron Bistro - Purbeck

This breakfast is the best I've ever had. It's very family-friendly with excellent service and food.

Always a fantastic meal at this charming and unique bistro. Swanage's best dining spot for sure!

The best restaurant in Swanage. The best restaurant in Dorset. The best restaurant in the UK. We always have such a great meal here. Terry is an amazing cook and Margaret is an amazing host.

Wow what a gem! Great food and service but the atmosphere is really special... Can’t wait to return!

We were in Swanage for the last ever jazz festival and booked for the Friday night. The Cauldron is quirky but very welcoming. Margaret and Terry spend about three days sourcing their raw ingredients and although on the expensive side, their careful preparation really shows. We had the whole Dover sole with hand cut chips. It's the best fish I've ever eaten! Terry brought one out on a plate to show us before he cooked it and it was divine. You get the table for the evening so if you have the time (we didn't), you could spend a whole evening dining on freshly prepared, as ordered, superb food. When we visit again, we shall ensure that we book a table. Well done to both of the owners. This isn't fast food, and neither should it be. A unique dining experience!
