We can recommend some local restaurants \u2013 though we haven\u2019t tried them all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cove House Inn (over the road from the church on the promenade overlooking the beach). Great views, great sunsets and fresh seafood<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Crabhouse Caf\u00e9 (tel. 01305 788867); hits the zeitgeist with rustic tables and super fresh seafood \u2013 they farm their own scallops. Just on the left after leaving the causeway, look for signs \u2013 its not in an obvious place (www.crabhousecafe.co.uk for times and menus).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quiddles (01305 820 651) \u2013 this is a portland name for a squid; the caf\u00e9 is in fabulous position on the promenade, to the left, overlooking the sea and the huts; it\u2019s a bit hit and miss for food but generally good. Crab sandwiches, good cakes and icecreams. Open air paella evenings on Thursdays in the summer from six o\u2019clock<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lobster Pot at Portland Bill serves good lunches, cream teas and excellent crab sandwiches<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For lunch and snacks try Whitestones in Easton. It has outside space and an interesting garden (www.whitestonescafegallery.com - 01305 860003)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mermaid tea rooms, tucked beside the Portland Museum does Dorset cream teas and icecreams - you may need reviving after the long walk up from the delightful Church Ope<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For snacks, jacket potatoes and great views on a sunny day try - www.thejailhouse.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Staffed by rehabilitating inmates it is located through the impressive fortified gates of the Verne HMP<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An American style Jailhouse Diner has also opened up for breakfasts, brunch, burgers and fries in the former Prison Officers mess (106 Grove Road, Portland)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The woodfired Portland Pizza Company \u2013 a walk away in Victoria Square \u2013 summer evenings only from six o\u2019clock (call first: 07936518871)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a fish and chip shop in the High Street in Fortuneswell, a short walk from the house up the hill. Slow service but very fresh fish<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further afield\u2026..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We tend not to eat much in Weymouth but there are plenty of restaurants along the harbour. There is a new pizza venture that we can recommend at The Stable, 13 Custom House Quay, Weymouth. Tel 01305 789 389<\/p>\n\n\n\n
