15 minutes drive from the Hayloft. Combine with a lovely evening walk along the esplanade and Cob. Cool and contemporary seafood restaurant run by a renowned chef Mark Hix. Gorgeous views over the harbour. A great destination for oysters and an early evening drink or dinner.
Chef mark Hix is now also running a fabulous fish van at our local farm shop - Felicities. He is there Thursday - Saturday selling locally caught fish and seafood. The Lyme Bay Scallops and Lobster are a must and Portland Clams as is his own home smoked Salmon.

Highly recommended right on the beach. Award winning Sea Food Café/Restaurant. 20 minutes drive from the Hayloft. Great for lunch. Perfect if you want to have a walk or spend the day at the beach and then have a long lazy lunch or dinner overlooking the ocean. Time it right and you’ll get incredible sunsets and in July you may even see the Mackerel chase the whitebait in! All fish is sourced locally. The food is amazing.
