Dorset, with its history of smugglers’ coves, mediaeval manors, and rolling pastures produces some of England’s finest food and is home to incredible restaurants. Here, private dining comes with a side of intrigue— think a feast in a 17th-century coaching inn with roaring fireplaces, or a refined meal in an eco-conscious restaurant that sources ingredients straight from Dorset’s lush farmland. Some private dining rooms are on the oceanfront while others are tucked away in stately homes. For a truly local touch, ask about Dorset’s famous Blue Vinny cheese or the region’s fresh seafood—best enjoyed with a crisp glass of English sparkling wine from a nearby vineyard. And if you ask nicely, chefs might just whip up a Dorset apple cake, an old county favorite best served with clotted cream. Explore Dorset’s best private dining rooms here on Tagvenue.
