Mark Hix has nabbed one of Lyme’s most spectacular spots for his Oyster & Fish House. Perched up on the hillside overlooking The Cobb and Jurassic Coast beyond, the views really are fab-u-lous (and so is the food).

Take a seat in the super relaxed, light and airy dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows looking out over the sea or out on the wraparound terrace.

This place does what it says on the can: locally landed fish and seafood on menus which change twice a day depending on the catch. Starters might include cold-smoked Chalk Stream trout (which you can also buy online) and Korean fried monkfish cheeks; mains grilled Lyme Bay lobster with garlic butter and Thornback ray with capers, lemon and parsley alongside simply grilled fish on the bone and moreish puds. Vegetarian and kids’ menus too.

There’s always something going on. Come for fresh oysters at Oyster Happy Hour, from Tues to Fri 3pm – 6pm, between November and March. Meet and eat food cooked by some of the UK’s top chefs every month.

Take a seat at Mark’s Kitchen Table, where Mark will cook you a six-course lunch with wine in his own home in Charmouth.

Go foraging – and enjoy a home-cooked meal – with Hix & Wild experiences.
