Parley Country Club in East Dorset

We visited the Parley Country Club on Sunday. We were looking forward to a Sunday roast and a game of petanque on their terrain. Unfortunately the place was all shut up and we were told that it had shut down 2 weeks ago. I wish that they had updated their website to say this as it would have saved us from a wasted visit.

A club that offers you utmost excellence from the staff in the club to the grounds for the football, cricket lovers around here , the food is wonderful the service from the staff is so pleasant and friendly jim the chef know his cooking skills and mick the boss brilliant

I don't have the word to describe how wonderful this place is, the food , the staff, management are absolutely top drawer and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the great day you provided us, I will recommend you in the highest magnitude in the future and I wish you and your staff the very best❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Lugar muy agradable, ideal para recepciones de tamaño mediano. Mi hija organizó su Boda para el pasado viernes. Ella esperaba que el clima estaría bien y los huéspedes pueden sentarse fuera y jugar con los diferentes juegos al aire libre que había alquilado. Desafortunadamente el clima no fue amable, pero Mick era - él nos dejaron una habitación adicional para los muchos niños para jugar. Todo el personal era muy cortés y servicial. Teníamos un Hog asado que la mayoría de la gente realmente disfrutamos, la alternativa era vegetariano curry que también dieron un sobresaliente. En general, nos trataron muy bien y no nos hablaron en extras que no necesita.

El día más increíble. Mick y su personal muy servicial. Toda mi familia y amigos pasamos un tiempo fabuloso. Precioso servicio de comida, no podía haber pedido más.

70th birthday party for 53 friends and relatives -excellent food and service. The staff made it a very special day.

I was keen to try here after I'd contacted them regarding gluten free options and they were so helpful. So today I went with 3 adults and 2 children. 2 of the adults need to be GF. The chef was brilliant nothing was too much trouble. He accommodated the Gf's and all the others exceptionally well. In fact I would go as far as to say it was the best roast dinner I've had. There was ample choice for all of us, including 5 choices of veg huge Yorkshire puddings. Then to follow lovely sticky toffee pudding. The chef said he would have made the GF's an extra dessert if they had wanted it with a bit of notice. The children had pizza's and chips, which again were very good. The staff were very helpful and considerate.

Whilst visiting family and before we left for home they took us for a Sunday Roast, beef or chicken was on this weeks menu,(main menu also available) oh my the beef was devne, cooked just how I like it, delicious, staff very friendly, an absolute must.

Went here for wedding reception. Could not say anything bad about it. Great food. Good polite staff. All round 1st class service. Thankyou for a fab day.. :-)

I cannot rate this venue highly enough! From the outset, Mick the owner/manager was extremely helpful and prompt to respond to all of my queries. We chose to have them cater for our party to save us the hassle and stress of preparing our own food and we were not disappointed! The buffet was a lovely mixture of hot and cold and went down a treat with our guests. The staff were very friendly and a special mention goes to Connor who did a great job of serving our thirsty guests along with his fellow bar staff. We had a fantastic night and send a massive thanks to all at Parley Country Club for their hospitality. We'll definitely be back again sometime!

I came here with my 2 kids (8&6) and their dad for Sunday lunch. The decor was classy and serene, very nice and relaxing. The staff were friendly and approachable and I have to say, the roast dinner was the closest to a home roast that I have experienced dining out. I would definitely recommend and I will definitely come again.

This was very much last minute dot com; we contacted the management team and without hesitation accepted a booking for 14 people to sit down for Sunday roast; the experience from this point forward was not disappointing; the attentiveness of the staff, the professionalism and skill of the chef and his crew helped deliver a feast to be remembered. Outstanding.... Well done and a big thank you to you all. We are now regular visitors on a Sunday and the quality of the food remains consistent.... Outstanding

We went for a family birthday dinner, we have young children so the outdoor play was appealing. But the food took exactly 59 mins to arrive dispute it being 2pm when we arrived, so no lunchtime rush to blame it on. Mine was a salad, my husbands steak was really grisely ( he complained), MIL had to send hers back as it was cold. After waiting an hour it was really disappointing and the children's nuggets were deep fried, so they didn't eat theirs. Disappointed, will not be returning.

I had the unpleasant opportunity of visiting this" country club". I found the beverages " medioca" the decor appailing, but most of all the person claiming to be the owner, a rude, unpleasant , vile man. He was having a argument with his regulars, or members and told them" if they didn't like how he runs his club then to not drink in there. If I were them I would take my business elsewhere . when it was just parley sports , yes it needed work ,but it was a homely place,but now its just a place that thinks its posh. As the old saying goes .... You can't polish a turd!

Really family friendly place with a nice little park in the grounds and puzzles and games inside to entertain the kids too which is great but my experience of the food on all three occasions was not a good one. I have it the benefit of th doubt I think bcos I like the place and I so wanted the food to be good, However It is so blatantly microwaved and totally bland and to be honest was surprised by this as the club has quite a nice, more upper class feel to it but without the snobbery and a few locals thrown in the mix. Good atmosphere Bit disappointing really with regard to the food though

This was another great visit, we arrived here as a party on 12 for dinner to celebrate a big birthday and the visit was everything we had hoped for.We had a nice table set up out of the way and the staff worked so hard on the night to do everything right and I was really pleased. The food was fantastic and amazing value, and cooked to A1. I will definitely be visiting again, they have got a great thing here and I cant think of visiting anywhere else. Keep up the good work x

We came here for a charity event, but the food was absolutely sublime, the steak was cooked superbly.The team we pleasant and friendly and the staff worked so hard to make the night a success. The food was all great and I would definitely come back here again and eat.

What a surprise. Great food , nice environment, friendly staff and very reasonably priced. Will visit again soon.

Parley Country Club (previously known as Parley Sports Club) has recently been reburbished and now looks modern and extremely welcoming. Am a frequent visitor there and have to say their Sunday roasts are excellent. A choice of 2 meats are available each week (changing every week) with a varying choice of vegetables etc.all for a very reasonable charge of £6.95. There is also other menu choices from their normal menu at exceptionally reasonable prices along with a selection of sandwiches or baguettes for those who prefer a lighter meal.

Parley Sports Club (now Parley Country Club) has carried out a lot of work to improve the inside of the building with more improvements to follow externally. We visited with our two young daughters and the food was excellent and very fairly priced. The carvery was exceptional. There is a varied menu with a slightly restricted sweet choice but it's well worth a visit. Great facilities!
