The story
At 101 Bridport in Dorset, modern European cooking takes shape inside a repurposed shed behind the local police station. Sisters Connie and Jess Booth handle both the floral arrangements and the weekly menu, drawing on their gardening background to select fresh regional produce. The Good Food Guide recognized this grounded approach when awarding the venue its recent rating. Two evening sittings at 6.30pm and 8.30pm allow the pair to maintain tight control over every plate.
A short blackboard changes daily according to the weather and whatever arrives at the market. This European kitchen keeps portions thoughtful and focused on ingredient quality. Local pints and a cocktail du jour complement the straightforward plates. Visitors often stop at the adjacent Selected Grapes shop across the yard to pick up a bottle before or after eating.
Twenty covers fill around compact bistro tables draped in white paper tablecloths and lit by colourful dinner candles. Soft music plays against the brick walls while guests settle in for a relaxed night out. Thursday evenings switch to a single choice meal with live performances and accept walk-ins directly. Guests chat over dim lighting while staff clear plates between courses.
