"We were passing through towards Devon, and I read the reviews on The Cross Inn , and I thought naah, nothing is that good . HOW wrong could I be !. Meeting Dave at the bar, when we entered was an absolute joy. Just what a pub landlord should be, welcoming, informative and very jolly . He informed that there were only two tables free, but was happy to accommodate for just drinks. The place was packed for a weekday lunch ! . When I saw and detected the aromas the dishes coming from the kitchen, I realised why . My salivating juices got the better of me and I requested a portion of chips to share. My dimpled handle poured without request, thankfully of Palmer 's Copper was absolutely fantastic, perfect temperature, my wife enjoyed her half too. The chips were served most enthusiastically by Debbie thanks Debs , which were a delight. Debs fussed over us, sauces, salt, vinegar etc, all to ensure we were happy, just for a portion of chips ! All in all, a great experience and a great price. We will be back, love it."

"This was an annual visit for Sunday lunch, and it is disappointing that previous standards appear to have declined: the roast dinner looked attractive but the beef was chewy rather than tender, the potatoes rather overcooked, and the gravy poorly prepared. It was not clear whether food is ordered at the bar or table, and when finished, our plates were not cleared, and no desserts were offered.: very different from our previous experience, and we noticed that there was much less of a busy atmosphere than in our previous experience perhaps others have noticed the change too?"

"This is a café and restaurant with a very nice charming atmosphere. The food is tasty and the price is good. The best is the decoration. It is diverse and you might think it does not fit but this is the special thing in here. If you don't like it when you enter, stay away. All others will love it and will always come back. Then, if you sit there and watch the time go by, drink your coffee and just enjoy life, you will leave full of energy."

"I am so glad I finally managed to visit the Green Yard. I am normally in Bridport too early to come here (they open at 9am) but today I was a bit later. After this experience I am wishing I had stayed in bed a bit longer before all my other trips to Bridport! It is slightly off the beaten track, tucked up a side road from the main street but worth hunting down you will not be disapointed. I had scrambled eggs on toast with bacon and a 'cup ' of tea. You might think scrambled eggs are easy enough to do but so many places overcook them. Not here though; they were beautifully cooked, fresh and hot, slightly soft and a good sized portion too. The portion of bacon was equally generous. As for the 'cup ' of tea, I was presented with a huge teapot complete with at least 3 tea bags. Compare that to the tiny pots or cups you get in most places. The bill was more than reasonable, the staff, especially the owner, are friendly and efficient. I really cannot fault this place. It will be my go to place in Bridport from now on."

"The service was unfriendly and unhelpful. The atmosphere was decent, but the loud music from the kitchen was disruptive. The restaurant could use some improvements. However, the food was mostly good, except for the tasteless sauce on the linguine de mar. The fish was cooked well. I used a finger bowl for my starter of mussels and was asked to reuse it for my main course, which I found unhygienic. It is just a bowl of water with lemon - they should change it. We would not return. There is a paid car park opposite the restaurant, but it was full when we arrived due to market day. Perhaps on another day, there would be free parking available."
