Hive Beach Cafe

Beach Rd, Burton Bradstock, Nr Bridport, Dorset

It isn’t just the views of Lyme Bay and the Jurassic coast that should bring you to the cute Hive Beach at Burton Bradstock, near Bridport. It isn’t even the fact they serve the local Portesham wines – who produce just 486 bottles a year! Fittingly, it’s the sheer quality of the seafood. A fresh fish counter welcomes you to this waterfront eaterie – a neat segue between the sea and your plate. From this counter, you can get the finest ocean fare from seafood platters to crab sandwiches to baked halibut in mussel cream sauce to Lyme Bay monkfish in curry sauce. AAM.
