We had a very pleasant evening meal for 9 adults and 2 young children. The staff were very friendly and attentive and the food was excellent. We pre-ordered our main course and suggest that other large groups do likewise.

We enjoyed a delicious meal in the Catherine Wheel. Very friendly staff and cosy atmosphere.

Good friendly local pub in the centre of Hemyock. Separate dining area, but can also eat in the bar area, where dogs are allowed. The food was of a good standard, and the service was efficient and friendly.

June 2019

We visited several times and had a great welcome on each occasion. Good choice of beers and excellent food. The beer garden is great, especially if you have a dog as it's lawned.

Delicious burgers and chips were delivered to where we were staying - can't ask for more than that!

We attempted to eat here on 3 separate occasions , either it was too early or the chef had gone home?? Gave up

July 2022

Disappointing visit, not made to feel welcome so cancel our lunch booking for the following day. So many other pubs to choose locally

May 2023

Visited twice and both times had a pleasant walk along the prom in the sun. Sea very calm. Lovely cup of coffee served from little coffee "bar" on prom served by a charming and coffee knowledgeable American lady. Pleasant and busy shopping area behind the prom. Not much parking and just a little expensive.

Step back in time to a gentler age here - lovely beach, quaint little town, reminded us of Southward in Suffolk on a smaller scale - we loved it!

September 2017

A pretty place down narrow lanes - the village is a must for keen photographers too - loved it!

September 2017

Superb beach and surroundings. Tricky drive to get there but well worth it.

June 2018

We loved walking to beach fro Branscombe. If you follow the signs and walk on the road to the beach its quite hilly so take the footpath from behind the cottages opposite the Masons Arms, its a nice flat walk to the beach, easy to follow.

January 2020

Lovely area but the only place you could get a coffee etc was the Sea Shanty and it was closed half term week!!!!! As the Sea Shanty and the Old Bakery were closed all week for me it let Branscombe down.

February 2020

One of the few beaches we found that had some sand on it, although it also had lots of stones too of course, and dogs were welcome. The option to sit on a grass area next to the beach was a bonus too. I had a swim in the sea whilst there which was lovely.

June 2021

October 2023

Lovely place for a dog walk along the beach. Such a pity that the sea is eroding the cliffs around here.

April 2024

Visited one evening. A beautiful beach. You can walk to Seaton on the coast path, if you feel energetic and don't mind a lot of steps. Well worth it due to the stunning views.
