The green-fronted shopfront on the High Street

On Swanage High Street sits a green-fronted building with the onion logo. Inside, the room glows warm — pendant lights, framed prints, and the hum of a room that's always busy.

Brunch plates by day, proper cooking and cocktails by night. It's the kind of place locals bring visitors to show off the town.

Glowing at night, High Street

On Swanage High Street sits a green-fronted building with the onion logo. Inside, the room glows warm — pendant lights, framed prints, and the hum of a room that's always busy.

The kitchen does brunch properly: generous plates, good coffee, and the kind of cooking that gets photographed before it's eaten.

By evening the mood shifts — cocktails, dinner plates like pan-fried sea bass and proper steaks, and a bar that stays lively.

Opened in 2024, already the town's worst-kept secret. Book ahead — the room fills fast.

A note from the house

Brunch to dinner, done properly.

Swanage's green-fronted local.

Chapter 01

The room

Green frontage, onion logo, warm light spilling onto the High Street. Inside: pendant lamps, framed prints on deep green walls, and tables that turn over all day.

It's intimate without being cramped — the kind of room where a long brunch stretches into the afternoon.

Chapter 02

Brunch & day plates

The daytime menu is what built the reputation — generous brunch plates, good coffee, and cooking that looks as good as it tastes.

Sea bass with greens, proper steaks, plates built for sharing. Nothing fussy, everything considered.

Chapter 03

Evenings & the bar

When the light drops, the bar takes over — cocktails, dinner plates, and the High Street glowing outside the windows.

Walk-ins welcome when there's room, but the 4.9 stars mean the room fills. A quick call ahead is wise.
