Reviews Overview
Most Liked
Patrons rave about the friendly service at Sea Breeze. The staff engages with guests in playful banter, making each lunch or dinner feel special. Many visitors highlight the generous portion sizes, particularly of the fish and chips, which are always cooked to order for maximum freshness.
The beautiful views from the outdoor seating area encourage guests to linger longer, often leading to delightful moments of people-watching along the promenade. The restaurant’s coffee and cake special is also a popular choice, offering excellent value for those looking for a mid-day pick-me-up.
Most Disliked
While the overall experience at Sea Breeze is positive, a few diners have raised concerns about pricing on certain extras, such as a £1.95 charge for beans, which some feel is a bit steep. This can slightly dampen an otherwise affordable meal. Additionally, the reliance on weather permitting for dining can be a limitation, particularly in the busy summer season when many eager diners flock to the beach.
Some patrons also suggest that the indoor dining area can feel a bit cramped during peak hours, so if you're looking for more space, it's best to arrive early or aim for a table outside.

As we were walking along the promenade we decided to try our luck and stop off here for a cuppa. We settled at a table outside and then I went in to place our order. On that morning they were doing a coffee + cake special for just under a fiver. Great value. The two young ladies at the counter were super friendly and helpful and played along with my playful banter. One of them (Christina?) brought our order out when it was ready. The chocolate gateau was especially nice. And from the terrace we had great views of the sea, the crazy people swimming still (late October), and the promenade so we had the chance to do some serious people watching. All great!

Food was delectable and staff were friendly. They have done really well following Covid Guidlines for such a small restaurant making you feel safe. The restaurant has excellent views of the sea front whilst you enjoy your meal. The only negative is That £1.95 for beans as an extra seems too much but I definitely recommend eating here when visiting Swanage.

We stopped for coffee and cake today and it was very nice. The owners/staff were very friendly and the cake was the nicest and possibly cheapest we've come across during our holiday. It's definitely worth a visit.
