Half Moon Inn in West Dorset

Can't fault my stay from start to finish. All the staff are fabulous and two staff members went above and beyond to make my stay very special they are Tracey Buckingham and Bradley Davison. I will definitely return. My only problem is I couldn't review via QR code it has taken me 30 minutes to find somewhere to write this review which is why I've only given 4 stars overall. Please sort this problem out. Thankyou for a lovely stay GILL from Manchester.

Sam is absolutely amazing as a housekeeper. She consistently goes above and beyond to keep everything spotless and organized. Her attention to detail is impressive, and it's clear she takes great pride in her work. Not only is she thorough and efficient, but Sam is also incredibly polite, friendly, and helpful.

great food, great drinks, and great serving from bradley

I came in with my partner for a meal and drinks, I was served by a young lady called olivia she was very polite, cheerful and chatty. Very good service and food. We will be back.

Great food, drinks and atmosphere topped off with such friendly service from Brad. Definitely worth a visit.

Great pub environment and lovely accommodation. Was very welcoming and Brad (member of staff was very nice)

Really enjoy coming here, decided to spend the night and had excellent service. We arrived early to stay and my room wasn’t quite ready but Olivia treated us amazingly and was very accommodating.

We went on a saturday afternoon for some beers and as I am a tourist in England and Tracey the Barkeeper let me try some beers because I couldnt decide which one I want... I would definitely come back!

I came in with my boyfriend for a couple drinks in the evening brad and katie were so polite and the atmosphere was really nice would definitely recommend it to friends and family.

We went to the Half moon for food and some drinks. Lovely atmosphere in there and the food was delicious and reasonably priced. Bar staff and waitress were really friendly and helpful, particularly Brad and Olivia.

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

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

Very helpful staff including Luke and Katie!

Great pub Luke and Katie looked after us well

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

Really good atmosphere, luke & katy made it

Luke and Katie were grand. Very welcomed for an old gent

Really friendly staff, Luke & Kate especially!

Some Good food, Luke was brilliant and friendly, good pints. Went here to watch the rugby with some mates. Good atmosphere.

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

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

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 staff great food definitely recommend

The service from Ellie was excellent, very welcoming and froendly!

Served by Ellie who was exceptional and delivered the best service. A real asset to the pub and really contributed to what was a great evening.

Young bar person, first name of Ellie, very polite and a credit to the company. Will go far in this industry.

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.

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

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

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.

Really good basic pub grub at a very fair price. Very friendly helpful staff Brad served us today. Always enjoy our lunch there

We had a lovely meal recently at the half moon, the service was fantastic, Tracey who served us was very kind and extremely polite. Great atmosphere, Highly recommend anyone visiting this pub when in the area.

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.

Brad and Luke, excellent service and magical atmosphere

Friendly welcoming and excellent prices

We popped into The Half Moon just for a drink, the atmosphere was so lovely we ended up staying for lunch and making a day of it. Food was lovely and service was excellent. Maria and Katie were very friendly.

Had a lovely lunch, great service from Ellie and team all were so welcoming and was an overall lovely experience and will 100% come again

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

Really lovely friendly service and a fun atmosphere. Can have a loud cackle in here for sure!

Luke was very helpful and polite, food was lovely and we will definitely be back

Lovely get together and great Sunday roasts

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.

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.

Great service from Craig H and Luke!

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

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

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

Brad and liv were so amazing and kind 😆

Came in for drinks and the palace game Brad and Liv were very helpful and friendly

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!

Nice pub, friendly staff (Brad and Liv), good value menu for food and drink and a nice atmosphere. Screens showing football a bonus. Would recommend for a relaxed evening

Have to say Brad and Liv looked after us very well

Craig H is a good guy! Thanks Craig!

Craig H was a great staff member with a vast knowledge. Great service throughout the evening

Great food and service from Craig H!

Great service from all staff and amazing food. Craig H was a brilliant! Here there and everywhere for us all night.

Excellent friendly service /staff, lovely roast chicken meal with family.

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..

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

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

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.
