anyone got any recommendations for lovely farm shops/markets/food shops in and near lyme regis?

[Heathcliffscathy]

we're on hols there next week and i want to buy in lovely stuff for us to eat...

Sophable - we are going to Lyme Regis next week too!

We went there about 2 years ago (I think) and tbh I don't remember much in the way of 'lovely' food shops in Lyme Regis itself (there's a Co-op in the High Street though )

There is a bakery right the near the Town Mill which was good iirc and also a shop in the High Street which sold pies, quiches, pastries etc. But you need to get buy them almost as soon as they are made.

Apart from that I think Axminster and Bridport are the nearest 'foodie' places.

I'll keep an eye on this thread and see if anyone comes up with some good ideas

Mercy I hope we get good weather.

Yes bridport, and possibly Beaminster better bets maybe.

Any MNers live down there and know?

Oh yes, Beaminster - thanks for reminding me.

I think Enid is somewhere nearby??

EEEEEEEEEEEEENID! oh Eeeeeeeeeeeenid!

foodie help needed please

.

Beaminster is great - good hair salon and home shop too! There is a deli there (although I have never been).

OK - this is where I go

Trawlermans in West Bay is good for fish, there is also a great fish shop in Lyme itself, it is tiny, down by the tourist info place, cannot remember what it is called but the bloke who runs it is luverly.

crab house cafe cannot recommend this place hightly enough although it is in Weymouth so a bit of a drive (it is in the MOST unlikely place but honestly it is great)

Bridport has a farmers market most Saturdays

hahaha, classic, i was thinking that was a really weird name for dorset, until i realised that's where you're going...tarn...very nice indeed....

having just spent the day at a farm and playbarn type thing, and having really had a good time with ds, i wondered if there was anything like that down those parts...
