Good value basic cafe fare, fry ups and panini's and the like. Supports a great cause, the views are amazing, what's not to love. It's up a steep hill, so make sure you're up for the climb!

Enjoyed lunch here today. Staff are very friendly and choice of food is excellent. There is a standard menu which includes all day breakfast, also a specials board which today included homemade lasagna and homemade quiche. I had the lasagna which was excellent and my wife had the quiche which she also said was excellent. Great food at sensible prices.

What a great place. Its a charity too, which assists inmates with vital experience. The food is good and the views from outside are splendid. Reasonable prices, good service, parking. It's well worth seeking out this venue which is well supported by the local regulars.

This is a regular stop for us when we holiday in the area. It’s good, basic food and a stunning view of Weymouth - a simply unique location and worth visiting for that alone. For those reviews berating the food or service, it’s not Rick Stein’s but that’s not what we are looking for - the staff are always very friendly and welcoming to us and our two dogs, and we always leave full and happy. Today it was a bit too windy to sit outside but dogs are allowed inside at certain tables as well so it was no problem. We will definitely be back for a Governor breakfast next time we visit!

Lovely food , perfect for a tasty lunch. Staff were friendly. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars for service and atmosphere is because you could hear them complaining about how busy it had been which can make customers feel a little bit like a burden / nuisance. However, from a food point of view, couldn’t knock a good panini with homemade coleslaw.

Staff are lovely and food is really fresh and tasty. I don’t think top class ingredients are used but still good. Large portions and presented cafe style. Mum and I have had the mushroom and egg bap and on today’s visit we both had meat and vegetable pasty.Definitely worth going outside and looking at the view.Dogs are allowed
