Hi anyone know how or who you contact to enquire on Cost and how to get a permit, please? I have searched but b it seem to find where to go I may be looking in the wrong place
I am a bit concerned how much the yearly parking permit will cost!!! Sadly we restrict our visits during the summer season because of the astronomical car parking charges!!!
I am local as well. It would be nice if locals could have some sort of discount at car parks.

That’s some better bank holiday weather ☀️ Also possibly the last day for the number 11 bus service to Portland Bill until May ... See MoreSee Less

Looks like the sun’s out and the buses are on their last ride! 🌞🚍 Guess it’s time to squeeze in one more adventure before the #11 bus takes a break! Any bets on whether the weather will follow the bus’ schedule? 😂
Smashing wasn't it?
Lovely photo


High quality
A wide selection of dishes
We are famous for our Cream Teas as our unique scone recipe has remained the same since the business began. Local crab sandwiches and delicious freshly prepared chips are other favourites on our menu.
Probably one of the nicest scones we have ever eaten. Unusually a square shape, still slightly warm, very soft almost like a light and fluffy sponge cake. Lashings of cream and a good jam too. Proper strong leaf tea. and plenty of parking nearby.
Best salmon I've ever eaten! The people here were so lovely, quick and attentive service. I couldn't believe how fast the food came out. The attached shop is a great idea.
Fantastic place to go and eat. The view's are superb. Staff really welcoming.

Lovely place and location. Food was wonderful. I had a fresh crab salad which was wonderful. Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian and vegan options.
one of a kind
Since 1952
The Lobster Pot Restaurant has been in the same family for over 70 years. We are situated next to the famous Portland Bill lighthouse in an outstanding location, on Dorset's World Heritage Jurassic Coast. This is just a short drive from Weymouth and only ten minutes away from the Olympic sailing venue at Portland Harbour.
