It’s time to discover ‘The Hidden Pearl of the South West’. The Crab House Cafe is an award-winning restaurant and oyster bar situated in a beautiful part of Dorset.

Specialising in seafood, Crab House Cafe offers a relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere.

People who love seafood will love this place, serving “very” locally sourced ingredients (within 40 miles of their front door), including landings from Chesil Beach and fresh produce grown in the kitchen garden.

With a strong family ethos and sustainability put into everything they do, the Crab House Cafe is one to put on the bucket list.

Situated in Wyke Regis, Weymouth, the Crab House is a hut offering amazing views and a fun and friendly atmosphere.

They opened their doors in 2005 and have been a favourite for many throughout the years.

They support fishing in sustainable ways, such as using non-powered vessels to catch the fish by using rowing boats caught by families local to Portland.

The menu is bursting with flavour and has lots of mouthwatering options for you to try.

The dog-friendly outside seating is a huge hit among visitors and gives the feel of being on holiday with its brilliant views and relaxed vibe.

So many places that serve really good quality food can make you feel out of place; however, the crab cafe welcomes everyone and encourages people to feel at home in their fantastic restaurant.

From farm to plate, the oyster farm located in front of the restaurant means diners can enjoy oysters that have come straight from the ocean.

You don’t get much fresher than that!

A lot of love, thought, and attention gets put into all the dishes served at the Crab House, and you can tell by the beautifully dressed plates.

The staff are all knowledgable, attentive and friendly which adds to the great experience.

There’s also a great dessert menu offering mouthwatering puddings such as chocolate torte, lemon tart, pannacotta and chocolate biscuit tuiles in the crab-shaped logo.

Other desserts and cheese boards are on offer also.

There’s also a wide-ranging wine menu and a great locally brewed beer menu.

With a calm and idyllic atmosphere, views of the Portland coast and the finest flavours, the Crab House Cafe is a really special place.
