About

Catch at The Old Fish Market

Welcome to Catch at The Old Fish Market, located in the heart of Weymouth at 1 Custom House Quay. Here, culinary excellence meets a stunning waterfront view, creating an unforgettable dining experience. The restaurant embraces the vibrant flavors of local Dorset produce, all carefully crafted under the talented Chef Ben Champkin’s direction.

As you step into Catch, you're immediately enveloped by a warm and inviting atmosphere. The high ceilings and open-plan design give it an airy feel, while the attentive and friendly staff ensures that each guest feels special from the moment they arrive. Reviewers rave about the incredible service and the thoughtful wine recommendations that perfectly complement every dish.

Patrons like Andy Cole have proclaimed it the "best restaurant in the world," emphasizing the sublime food and the delightful wine pairings. Speaking of food, the menus here are a celebration of freshness and creativity, showcasing top-quality fish—arguably some of the freshest you'll find in the region. Dining on delectable fish dishes, like the highly recommended cuttlefish, is an experience that compels you to savor each bite. And special mentions for side dishes, like the beetroot relish, elevate the dining experience even further.

On sunny Friday afternoons, families can enjoy meals beside the old harbor, delighting in the expertly crafted meals while soaking in the ambiance. Christine Pierce highlights the focus on local ingredients, making each plate a true representation of the region.

Catch goes beyond just food; it’s about creating memorable moments. With remarks about how the restaurant feels cold due to its architecture, it's a minor detail overshadowed by the overall excellence. As Lisa Edwards suggested, bringing a shawl is a wise choice for those cooler days! What truly shines here is the attention to detail, from the decor to the meticulously curated wine list that features exceptional options like English sparkling rosé and local apple brandy.

Whether you're a first-time visitor or a regular, each meal at Catch seems to outperform the last. Becky Fudge encapsulates this sentiment perfectly by recommending it as one of the best dining experiences she's encountered. Meanwhile, Robert Ryan passionately wonders how Catch hasn’t been awarded a Michelin star yet, considering its incredible value and unmatched quality.

In conclusion, Catch at The Old Fish Market is not just a dining venue; it's an experience that celebrates the best of what Dorset has to offer. If you haven't yet booked a table, do so soon—your taste buds will thank you!
