Went in yesterday for a hen party of 20 people. They had only set up a table for 16. Started decorating and I put confetti on the table. The manager I believe to be Kerry came up to me and was so rude telling me she had told me in a message no confetti. I explained to her I have never spoken to her so I didn’t know otherwise I wouldn’t have put it on the table. She made us swipe it all up as they didn’t want the mess of it but spoke to me so loudly and rudely that half the place heard and it was so embarrassing. She then admitted it must have been a different party she had said it to, but with no apology. Toilets were disgusting, the toilet roll wasn’t even in the holders, just left on the floor. The hand dryer would have made your hands more dirty from the state of it. They gave us the wrong cocktails claiming it to be what we had ordered. Depressing music for such a sunny Saturday spring afternoon. The manager then forgot to give my friend her change. Honestly, I couldn’t wait to leave.

As a regular I had high hopes organising my birthday party there. We pre-ordered food as a large group. I thought that would be where my involvement would end but no. I spent most of the evening writing orders down and taking them to the bar to be ignored. I cleaned wiped down and cleared the table of glasses at least 5/6 times. Cocktails were undrinkable. We had no server. Not once did someone come to the table to take a drink order. Food took over an hour to come out but was really good so will give them that. 2 hours in I’d only managed to have 4 drinks. Also was not informed it was a karaoke night - horrific noise all night. Just a really stressful experience and left really disappointed.

Came in for a bottomless brunch. As usual here the server Vicky. Where do I begin such an asset to the team I’ve never had a better bottomless. The drinks were flowing and she was so fun and warming. Truly made the experience better. When I come back because this is my fav bottomless (even over turtle bay) I will be asking for her!

Spent my Christmas day having a Christmas bottemless brunch, as you do. Just wanted to say a massive thank you to the staff, as it was quite busy at the Charminster venue, they were amazing as always, checking in to make sure everything was alright, if we needed anymore drinks etc, I had a fair few by the end of the afternoon. The food was delicious, not a long wait and everything came out hot, you can tell the chefs had put in a lot of effort into the finer details (roast potatoes were the best) and I probably should have got another roast dinner to take away. Overall, really glad we chose The Dancing Jugg in Charminster as it didn't disappoint, the food, cocktails, service from Kerri and the team was all on point, cheers for making it a memorable one. We will be back!

Booked a bottomless brunch for 2, very busy due to Xmas but was a great atmosphere, bottle of Prosecco on the table to start with was nice but very dry, the first couple of cocktails were great but in plastic glasses? and food was delicious. Then the cocktails went downhill massively, nothing like what the menu described, not sure how a frozen Strawberry Daiquiri tastes only of coconut? Shame because the place is lovely and the staff were fantastic

First visit and the last. Had roast lamb which was a good portion with decent taste. The veg could have been hotter but just about acceptable, however the cauliflower cheese was cold. The waitress was very good and offered to have it replaced. When it was replaced it was also cold. Having the issue once can happen to anyone but more than once is unforgivable. To make things worse they add a service charge of ten percent and refuse to take it off the bill. Go here at your own risk.

We’ve been using the Dancing Jug in the Triangle for years. And have been to the Charminster one several times. Great food, drinks and atmosphere. But as with any bar, it’s so often the bar staff that make it. Last night (Thursday 25 July) we had the pleasure of meeting Carla and Ali in the Charminster Jug. Never met them before and we don’t know their friends/family. What I do know is that they are both amazing bar staff and credit should always be given where it is due. Kind, friendly, hard working and know how to look after their customers. Thank you Carla and Ali for making a good night a great one for Angie and I. P.S. Didn’t catch the DJ’s name, but he was brilliant too.

We were stunned by this and went to sit down, before I could, another waitress came over and asked for our drink order, I said I would order at the bar. 2 minutes later she came back and asked again, and I again said I would order at the bar, and her reply was, ' a tut and sigh'.

Food was absolutely delicious and it has that fantastic atmosphere. Most staff were excellent. However, we had been for a bottomless brunch. There are set rules for a bottomless brunch. Ie how many jugs you can have at one time. I fully understand, but these rules are not made clear. May be worth mentioning this on the menus. Otherwise, half of your party may have to wait for the other half to finish their drinks before you can order again. There was one member of staff who was fairly rude, which did kind of spoil it. However all other members of staff were brilliant. I would visit again but perhaps not for a bottomless brunch x

Returned for a Sunday Roast for Mothers Day. Unfortunately the service was not as good as previously received. The usual manageress was not there. Sullen waitresses with distinct lack of warmth. Ordered roasts which included a drink. Two of the four drinks came with dirty lipstick glasses which we had to ask to be changed. Roasts were ok but certainly not to the standard of before. Gravy was very watery and had to ask for condiments ie mint sauce and horseradish sauce. Good value I suppose but nobody asked if our food was ok or if additional drinks were required. Shame as we have recommended this place to a lot of our friends and felt the service was lacking today. Didn't stay for additional drinks and went elsewhere. Come on guys a smile and a bit of warmth with your customers goes a long way. Toilets also looked shabby with broken toilet roll dispensers.
