Welcome

 

The Canteen Restaurant is a family business that mixes Great British and European cooking,

The menu always has something for everyone. In the summer the emphasis is on fish, mostly landed locally, including oysters and crabs from Poole. In the winter Mike butchers his own whole organic Lleyn lambs from Rempstone farm in Corfe castle, wild deer from the Purbecks, sides of organic Longhorn beef (hung for a month) and rose veal (raised in natural family groups in the great outdoors) from Post Green farm in Lychett Matravers. In season pheasants come from Dorset shoots.  

 
The menu is inspired by passion not fashion, with common fish respected as much as the more expensive cheffy kind and due respect given to the whole animal, with all cuts being ranked equal. Local fruit and veg is used wherever possible (including the garden at home). Everything is homemade, absolutely without exception.
 
Service is genuinely friendly and the ambience relaxed. It is Canteen policy never to double book a table - having taken the trouble to source such good local produce, we want you to appreciate it - so relax and enjoy The Canteen.
