Half Moon Inn in West Dorset

The waitress was very friendly. The food was served quickly and was nice and hot. The prices are good helped further by a voucher I had been sent for 30 percent off main meals.

I came into the half moon on Monday afternoon and ordered a hunters chicken melt baguette. It was delicious and cooked perfectly. Brad and katie served me with a beautiful smile and perfect pint

We have come here for lunch for a late Mother’s Day celebration and it has been amazing. Food was lovely and we were served by Tracey who was just fantastic! Would highly recommend and can’t wait to come back!

On arrival Sunday we were greeted by Katie & Brad & as we were early for check in decided on having a cooked breakfast which was cooked deliciously by Hannah & was good value. Katie then said housekeeping were in the process of cleaning our room but wouldn’t be too long & we would then be able to check in a bit earlier which would allow us to dump our luggage which was so helpful,so we had a drink in the bar whilst waiting which was very relaxing. Once we checked into our room we were very impressed on how clean it was & thanked the housekeeping team.

Becky the assistant manager is a HUGE credit to your business!! Pay rise please!

I never had a problem here staff are good food is nice pool tables playable ect will come again...

Ran out of a few things on the menu a couple of times i visited. No fish, lasagne no pies i could go on

Very friendly and efficient staff . Excellent service . Great food hot and tasty

Brad was very friendly and welcoming , he helped with my dietary requirements and made my day. Food was brilliant and the atmosphere was lovely. Thank you for a lovely experience!

Brad is my new G!! Luke is a monster. I suppose Craig is alright too 😂

Great local pub, good foot and atmosphere.

We had an amazing time at the moon and Louie was very helpful and very speedy

Luke and louie absolutely cracking service

Came in this morning for a drink served by Ellie. Both Ellie and Katie were very bubbly which encouraged us to stay for a few more. Highly recommend

If I could give zero stars I would. Service was abysmal and food was mediocre. We came in for our first time this evening for my partners birthday meal. There were 4 adults and two kids. There was no welcoming staff as we came through the door. Took staff 10 mins to find our table we booked, sat down and ordered food. Two of the adults food took 30mins to come. Their main course came out before the starters and we had to ask for them. The kids food took 50mins to come out after asking them how long it was going to be. When it arrived it had clearly only just been cooked as it was piping hot and too dangerous for my 1 yr old to touch. Now we move on to mine and my partners food. It took them 1hr and 5 mins for it to come out. By then our kids had eaten their food and were kicking off. Neither of us were hungry. My partners Hunters chicken had no bacon and was cold. In the mid of all this. The waiter with white hair was rude, kept putting cutlery in front of my 1 yr old to pick up. He also was ignoring an old couple next to us on purpose, who also had been waiting 30 mins to even order food, only when one of our adults on the table called the waiter over to their table did they get service. As you can imagine we were already fuming and ready to leave. My partner asked for some compensation or ideally a full refund after being the worse meal we’ve ever had. The male manager on shift behind the bar response was a free desert and a round of drinks for the table. Why he thought in this case we’d want to stay another 1hr for desert and want a round of drinks when two adults were driving and had kids at our table god knows. 100% recommended to stay away from this pub if you want a meal. Only worth going to if you want a piss up with mates. We certainly will never come back and be fighting for a full refund P.S the male toilet cubicle had no lock on either. So you couldn’t have a poo in peace. Parking you had to pay no matter what (even though the sign says it’ll be deducted from the meal)

Great atmosphere, nice variety of drinks and the loaded fries are banging. Great pub to go with friends too. Friendly servers, especially Luke :)

Nice atmosphere, lovely food and drinks, our waiter Luke was super welcoming and friendly. Always have a lovely time here

I’ve been to the Half Moon on multiple occasions. The food is made at a great standard with efficient and friendly staff. My favourite activity is watching the rugby or the football on the weekends. Definitely worth a visit if you live or visiting sheborne

Had an evening meal with my 5 year old daughter Wonderful food cooked by Hannah and great service from Katie highly recommended

Had an amazing mixed Grill tonight, was so nice! Hannah was the chef tonight, thank you so much! Craig D was serving us in the restaurant, he was brilliant and made sure we had all we wanted. Would really recommend a visit to the Half moon!

We had a lovely welcome on arrival and Craig’s customer service was superb. We felt we were treated like vip’s, nothing was too much trouble. We really enjoyed our meals and all were hot and tasty. We passed our compliments onto the chef, Hannah was our chef for the evening. Thank you to all.

Alicia and Louie were so great. Especially, dealing with my indecisiveness at the bar. They were both very efficient and knowledgeable about what beers etc they had. Food was lovely.

Lovely people serving us (Brad and I think elisia) and the food was also great, a little busy though! (As you'd expect)

I had a lovely meal at the half moon today. Alicia and Louie were very helpful and my lasagne was perfectly cooked by Hannah!

Amazing service, great food and friendly staff ☺️

Craig, the barman is a lovely guy. He makes the whole experience of coming to the half moon great.

Just had the best roast chicken dinner I've ever had eating out, super staff and great service

Lovely, friendly staff especially Tracey who took our food orders. Food choices were brilliant and food ordered was tasty and hot. Will definitely visit again.

We often go to Half Moon as we consider your meals tasty and value for money. The periodic 30% off deals are an added bonus. I work in a busy shop in Sherborne and when asked by visitors where they can get a decent well priced meal, I always refer them to Half Moon.

Great service from Craig H and Luke!

Amazing clean pub well done to Sam for keeping it so clean.

Craig Henry was brilliant, I've never seen someone have things in hand so well

Served by Craig H what an excellent staff member the half moon have. He has gone above and beyond

Came here today for my daughter’s birthday meal, very welcoming staff Liv was amazing! Food was delicious and prompt. Would definitely recommend to friends and family for a meal. All round great pub!

An average experience at best, not the cleanest place to visit.

Good value, Good food, excellent staff use the car park, you get the cose deducted from the bill. Highly reccomend

Lovely food and atmosphere, great selection of beers and very friendly staff

Had a lovely Sunday lunch with my daughter and Granddaughter, Ellie was a great waitress, and Brad at the Bar was warm welcoming

Went here on a rainy day for lunch. Lovely clean and well presented pub with great range of food options (2 vegetarians and 1 meat eater in our party). Helpful staff and good range of beers all on offer. We had jacket potatoes x 3 which were great and came with a decent salad too. Wine, Pedigree and cup of tea too. All very reasonably priced too.

Came in for some food with a friend. We decided to get chilli loaded fries and a few sides. Let me tell you, those chilli loaded fries and the mac and cheese was to DIE FOR. Thank you to Katie and Luke for the fabulous service and to Mark for cooking food to perfection- as he always does! I look forward to returning

Good value and attentive service.

Food was really lovely and the staff are friendly, would come back again.

Good food and good service Place was a bit dead

Let me tell yah, the most excellent service! Order a drink and food and it’ll be with you fast with lovely service. Staff very polite and put together. Came to check if the food was all ok and sorted out a small problem I had with the app. Would highly recommend.

Stopped there for work. Room was a bit outdated,no heating at night,poor lights. Pub downstairs ok.

Simple but clean and very reasonably priced. I really enjoyed my porridge for breakfast..

Today we came into the pub for lunch and both had a curry it was amazing so well done Hannah in the kitchen

Pizzas cooked by mark where amazing and manager Katie was very polite and helpful

Our visit was for lunch, my partner with our children. We were greeted quickly and take to our reserved table which was more than big enough for two adults and 4 children. Ordered food at the bar, the food came out fairly quickly as it wasn’t the busiest of Sundays. A couple of the kids and myself had starters and the mains followed within good time. Kids meals were a good size, and everyone was happy with their choice. I ordered the lasagna with chips, it was suggested this came with garlic bread. I thought I’d mention it when the waiter/waitress came over to make the standard check on the food being ok but this doesn’t seem to be part of the service so I mentioned it when the plates were collected - the waiter looked a little confused af what his response should be and having already paid, I guess it was a we’ve had your money, or much we can do about it moment. Other than that, it was mostly an enjoyable lunch en route to a family visit.

Good food, nice friendly and helpful staff, and dogs welcome

Popped in for drinks , friendly reception

It was setting up for new year and there was a pleasing atmosphere. Price of beer was average for nowadays wherever you tend to go. Not too many seats so stood and could have more, perhaps to include stools at the bar.

Christmas Day lunch booked at the Half Moon in Sherborne was a fabulous experience. Friendly staff, great food and good value. The process for booking and pre-orders was easy and on the day the atmosphere was lovely. Staff could not have been more helpful and were well organised for such a busy day. Would definitely book again.

Very good service, and very friendly staff! Would definatly recommend! Went for lunch with my brother and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

Staff were amazing, nothing was too much trouble.

Touched by the care and attentiveness of the staff. Friendly atmosphere. Delicious lunch - thank you

Christmas Dinner. Starters and deserts were good but the main turkey dinner was not. Vegetables were undercooked, potatoes chewy and turkey only had a dash of gravy. I asked for more gravy as the whole plate was dry and difficult to eat. Was told if they got chance they would get some. Other tables had gravy jugs. It wasn't overly busy as sittings were staggered. No gravy arrived. Very disappointed. A ready meal would have been a better choice or advised to bring a flask of gravy. Staff were polite but I would not go here again.

Amazing reception and service for xams dinner. Food was amazing and cattered for are family. Tables were really well presented..
