Clavells is a traditional restaurant set in the heart of the Jurassic Coast. With our very own courtyard and garden, centrally located in the heart of the picturesque village of Kimmeridge.

    Food was mediocre and extremely overpriced. My chicken salad was a chopped up breaded chicken fillet with grated cheese and a couple of bits of avocado fir £23. Extortionate . A nothing special beefburger £20. Over £120 for 3 of us. Won't return.

    Quick and efficient service. We had freshly made sandwiches and chips. A little pricey.

    The menu is extensive and the food very nicely presented and excellent. It's a quiet country restaurant, making the most of the abundant Dorset produce and doing it really well too. Plenty of parking, great friendly staff and a lovely place to have a meal at. Well worth going to and definitely off the mass tourism routes not far to the east.

    Excellent service, we wanted to sit outside away from the wind and were allowed into the garden which was actually closed, they couldn’t have been more helpful. Food is excellent, very tasty and delicious, not too fancy but good portions.

    The Sunday roast was one of the best ever experienced. Beautifully cooked, more than enough, and super desserts.
