Second day of holiday, gusting winds, driving rain. We decided to go to Bridport Wednesday market despite the elements. We walked into a cafe and got told abruptly "We're not open" then ignored. With a two fingered gesture to that establishment we walked from one end of town to the other not seeing anywhere inviting. We were about to turn around and go home but decided to walk another 20 yards and there it was. The Green Yard. An absolute hidden gem. It is a cosy little cafe with well spaced seating. Upon entering, the (I assume) owner was inviting and chatty and made you feel welcome straight away. The breakfast we ordered was delicious, well cooked and served in a timely manner. There was a steady flow of regular customers and you could tell the staff there were well liked. Also while we were there, a large party of 10 arrived and they were processed with just as much enthusiasm as we were.

Read moreTo be completely honest, I was a Green Yard Virgin. The time had come to rectify that and pop my green yard cherry. Went with a friend and neither of us were sure exactly what to expect. Would it be a run of the mill town cafe? Would it be lots of oldies sitting round eating cake and having a milky cuppa? No it absolutely wasn't. We were really impressed. The food was top notch and yummy and the banter alongside it was a perfect addition for the likes of us! The cafe quickly filled up with each customer getting their own tailor made version of banter from the owner and each plate of food that came out looked just as good as ours. There was only one fault....and that was ours for not having been here before. We will be back without a doubt and thank you for a perfect...
