Lyme Regis /ˌlaɪmˈriːdʒɪs/ is a town in West Dorset, England, 25 miles (40 km) west of Dorchester and 25 miles (40 km) east of Exeter. It lies at Lyme Bay on the English Channel coast at the Dorset–Devon border. It is nicknamed "The Pearl of Dorset". It is noted for fossils found in cliffs and beaches that are part of the Heritage Coast—known commercially as the Jurassic Coast—a World Heritage Site. The harbour wall known as "The Cobb" appears in Jane Austen's novel Persuasion, in the John Fowles novel The French Lieutenant's Woman, and in the 1981 film of the same name, which was partly shot in Lyme Regis. Its one-time mayor and MP was Admiral Sir George Somers, who founded the English colonial settlement of the Somers Isles, now known as Bermuda. Lyme Regis is twinned with St George's, Bermuda. In July 2015 Lyme Regis also became "tripled" with Jamestown, Virginia, as the Historic Atlantic Triangle of Lyme, St George's and Jamestown. The 2011 Census gave the parish and electoral ward a population of 3,671.

Really excellent food but one lady serving us today was beyond passive aggressive to the point where I questioned how much more anyone could hate their job. The younger waitress was delightfully helpful that it made it even more glaringly obvious how poor the other ladies service skills were. She seemed so offended by our presence as a family with two small kids who really enjoyed their meal. However she actually rolled her eyes when we ordered steak for our 10yr old son. Everything just seemed way too much trouble that we very nearly left. At the end when we asked if they accept Amex she complained about the high charges that and I felt like saying well donât accept it then if youâre going to make a customer aware of how much pain theyâd are going to cause you.The food was excellent but even the table next to us felt her wrath when they asked about the dishes before ordering.

Situated on the beach at Lyme Regis, Swim has a great view of the sea. When we visited in October (days after our wedding) the sea was dark grey and stormy which just added to its beauty.A cross between hipster and surfer vibes for the decor in Swim gives in an interesting feel and its not pretentious or unwelcoming. The daytime on a Monday staff were attentive and quick to help us out.The food was great; a fish burger for me in excellent, light tempura batter and a fish and chips for her (which she said was really good). Reasonable prices paid too.We meant to visit again but we were only around for a few days. Walking past it at night with its warm lights splashing down on the beach made it seem even more appealing!

Visited on Tuesday evening the day after a bank holiday. No problem booking for a party of five. We arrived early but the table was ready, we were warned that there might be a slight wait for food but it didnât seem that there was. Everyone was very happy with their food, my wife declared the steak and ale pie to be a new high point (and she is something of a steak and ale pie connoisseur) and my 6 year old daughter was delighted with her ham, egg and chips - the ham was very thick. Desserts were also very good. The land lady came over for a chat and all the staff were friendly and did their jobs well. Hi BourbondunkerThank you for taking the time to review our pub.We are delighted that your family enjoyed the food they chose, and we are happy to know that you found our staff friendly and efficient. Your comments are very much appreciated.Please do visit us again if you are in our part of the world.Kindest regardsWendy

We walked along the Marine Parade looking for a place to eat. We were too early for several of the restaurants, and others seemed overly touristic. We were delighted to find this pub around the corner from the Cobb. As a previous reviewer indicated, it was perfect pub food. The service was friendly and the patrons seemed to be locals. We enjoyed our meals.

Was visiting family in Charmouth and they recommended we try this place for the breakfast. We certainly weren't disappointed. Fantastic Full English plus they did an excellent gluten free version for my wife. Table service was great and all staff very friendly and welcoming. One final bonus was the home made sausage rolls available at the bar, a real twist on the usual recipe, couldn't resist buying a few for another day. If you're in the area, try this place, you'll love it.

This pub has real character and a great selection of cask ales. A great place for a couple or three pints during the evening. The staff and clientele add to a very warm welcoming atmosphere and the beer is just delicious.

We came here on our way home from a weekend away. The Sunday lunch was possibly one of the best examples of a roast beef meal I have had in a restaurant.The beef was beautifully cooked and thinly sliced, the veg were all perfectly cooked and the roast spuds were, although I hate to have to admit it, nearly as good as mine! Added to all that was the excellent horseradish sauce which made my ears hurt - just the way I like it.Finally, the treacle tart we shared at the end of the meal was a wholly unnecessary delight. Highly recommended.

Pretty average all round. Service was good enough but the starter poor to be honest, a charcuterie board had a few slices of ham/salami/chorizo from a packet and the main wasn't much better, the seafood platter consisting of smoked salmon (presumably from a packet), some dressed crab meat and some shell on prawns. And a lot of bread. Nothing I couldn't have rustled up in 5 minutes at home with some scissors for the packets and a plate.It was ok, not bad or terrible but I expected a bit better for a Lyme Regis restaurant and wouldn't go back.Kids scampi and chips was good.

Letâs start with the good stuff, the lady who meets and greets you, so friendly and warm and she worked so hard - she was lovely!! The bad, the young waitress who ignored us several times, had a very loud conversation with the chef and then when delivering the food dumped chips on the table and all over my leg. Whoops she said and walked off, no apology or attempt to clean up. The food was ok but to be honest was average - hate giving a bad review but lose the waitress and review the menu, the lady host was the star!I must apologise for the waitress she can be a little bit odd sometimes but does work hard, at this time of year its almost impossible to find good staff in lyme. My mother was pleased with your comments toward her, the menu however its a burger bar we do offer several other options but its a burger bar what is to review.
