Christmas festivities are in full swing at the Jurassic Coast's favourite seaside eateries. 

The Hive Beach Café in Burton Bradstock, The Watch House Café in West Bay and The Club House in West Bexington each have extra special festive deals and menus on offer. 

From bottomless brunch with friends to a celebratory Boxing Day lunch or New Year roast, there is something for everyone this Christmas at these three spectacular beachside restaurants.

The Club House, West Bexington

In the run up to the big day, The Club House is offering a delicious Christmas menu with three courses available for just £30, featuring starters of vodka Marie Rose prawn cocktail and duck and orange paté; a traditional turkey dinner with all the trimmings or alternative main courses of slow roasted pork belly or pan friend hake; and delectable desserts including orange and fig cheesecake or mincemeat apple tart. 

Set on the iconic Chesil Beach in West Bexington, The Club House is the perfect place to blow away those Christmas cobwebs for a special Boxing Day lunch. 

The Boxing Day menu will show off the best of local seafood and something a little different to the traditional Christmas dishes, including pan-seared scallops or seafood chowder to start, crispy crabs cakes, grilled skate wing or tempura battered hake and chips.

The Club House will also be open for breakfast and lunch on New Year's Eve and for Sunday lunch on New Year's Day with two courses for £20.

You can find full menus, opening times or book a table by visiting www.theclubhousewestbexington.co.uk, or call 01308 898 302.

The Watch House, West Bay

The only café on West Bay Beach, The Watch House will be providing casual and relaxed dining in the run up to Christmas.

Why not enjoy a catch up with friends over bottomless brunch with a Christmas cocktail tree, including plenty of festive dishes and drinks on the menu, costing £26.50 per person. 

The Watch House will be open every day over the Christmas period, 10am to 3.30pm, except for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, January 3 and 4.

The Hive Beach Café, Burton Bradstock

The Hive Beach Café is currently serving its popular and everyday changing menu of fresh, locally sourced produce, with a focus on fish and seafood and some added festive elements. So if you're fed up of the traditional turkey or looking for something lighter, this is the perfect place for you!

Why not combine breakfast or lunch with a walk on the beach at Burton Bradstock, with stunning views across Lyme Bay?

You can also finish your Christmas shopping at the Hive Beach farm shop, selling a wide range of locally-made produce and gifts, including the new Hive Beach Café cookbook. 

The Hive Beach Café will be open everyday over the festive period, except Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
