Gee Whites - Purbeck

I was really in the mood for dressed crab for lunch and found a lovely waterfront restaurant. The staff was friendly and efficient at clearing tables. However, I was disappointed with the £17.90 price for the dressed crab, which came with salad, bread, and chips. The brown crab in the shell only had a few strands of white meat, and I felt like I had been cheated.

This restaurant review is absolutely appalling. We paid £19 for a seafood pizza that was inedible - it had no mussels, frozen prawns, and the clams were rubbery. The portion of cheesy chips we ordered for £5 was incredibly small, coming in a burger-sized carton. The supervisor's response to our complaint was dismissive, saying she wouldn't refund us just because we didn't like the food. When we showed her the rubbery clam as proof, she blamed it on running out of mussels and not being responsible for any changes from the previous year. Despite being regular customers for years, we were treated poorly, with the atmosphere and professionalism of the place deteriorating. In the end, after getting nowhere with the supervisor and even being asked to leave for a minor incident, we were extremely disappointed. It's best to avoid this place altogether and spend your money elsewhere.

This restaurant is a charming spot to dine by the ocean after a lengthy stroll around Swanage, the pier, Peverill Point, and Durlston Country Park. The fish is perfectly crispy, the chips are wonderfully crunchy, and the portions are generous. The cider is also delicious, and the view is lovely as well.

We often visit as a local, always so friendly and welcoming and staff are very attentive. The food is always great and there is a little something for everyone. As a local, we often pop in and have lunch or dinner depending on the day : Mind the seagulls though, make sure you watch your food, eat up quickly lol. Overall reasonable price and lovely staff. Always lovely to return time and time again.

Forced my family to go here after reading the reviews. Pizza and fish were lovely, Chips were ok. Some food came out cold and was also a long wait whilst others on the table had theirs. They forgot part of our meal and when we informed staff they were very unapologetic. staff attitude lets it down.
