Plume of feathers in West Dorset

Great idea for Italian Style Tapas. Food all tasted very nice. However, very disappointed with portion sizes for the price they are charging. Cheese board & Charcuterie at £12 each were very small & not even any bread or biscuits with the meats. In fact the meat/ham was just 4 small pieces. At £12 we felt really cheated by this. The cheese board wasn’t much better with 3 small pieces of cheese & not enough biscuits. With 2 drinks we paid £45 & left still feeling hungry & disappointed with the poor value. I did give the waitress some feedback on the Charcuterie dish but she just said their prices had recently increased. Unfortunately she didn’t get it, so I just asked her to pass the feedback on to management to either lower prices or increase the amount of food. Wouldn’t return it recommend !

What a gem! Really good service with delicious Italian food. The theme is sharing plates so we ordered six different dishes/breads/salads and loved them all. The freshly made gnocchi stole the show. A really good wine list, cocktails and other drinks too. The bill was very reasonable. They genuinely promote local produce and sustainability, encouraging people to try their vegetarian and vegan options. We will be back soon!

Always a delightful Italian meze.lots of choice, freshly cooked. Great staff and food and atmosphere.

Lovely restaurant in the centre of Sherborne with easy parking nearby. We sat outside in the sheltered courtyard, which had a lovely Mediterranean feel to it. The plants / flowers were in abundance and clearly the owner takes great pride in this. Food is Italian style and comes in smallish tapas style dishes. Staff were all very helpful and seemed familiar with the menu options. The wine seemed to be very reasonably priced and we liked being able to buy a 500 ml carafe of wine rather than a 750 ml standard bottle. The food is 'served when it is ready' so this style of meal may not be to everyones liking. The home made tiramisu desert was 'to die for'. Prices were slightly higher than expected but this probably reflects the difficult, high inflation times that we are currently enduring. We will certainly return in the near future. Nearly a 5* but not quite sure how it would have been for atmosphere, if we had eaten inside

If you would like to eat Italian tappaz this is the place to go. Nice recipe's and good wines, and very nice staff.

This was my local when I lived in Sherborne and spent many drunken nights here. It couldn't be a better location at the bottom of the high street with views of the Abbey, and has some great history (it was actually used as mortuary by the abbey in the past!) Sherborne has some great pubs, but this was always mu favourite.

Lunch in the open at 14°C has to impress and this so very nearly did. The service was superb, and most of the food was good to. The whole atmosphere makes this an experience to remember but focaccia really doesnt keep well, and this was obviously yesterday's. Picky I know, but when you pay £3.50 for 4 ittle bits of bread it would be nice if they were fresh.

Very nice dining experience with an interesting menu. I particularly liked the sea bass with fennel. My companion enjoyed the summer herb risotto. Good service.

Large, busy pub, opposite the Abbey near the centre of town. Friendly staff, and a good food offering. Worth a visit.

My daughters from California stay here when they visit and love the place. The food is excellent as is the accommodation. The rooms are large and very good value.

Without doubt one of my favourite mask ever! Butternut squash risotto to die for. Service impeccable. Lovely place and great atmosphere

A surprisingly good restaurant specialising in sharing plates of delicious Italian specialities. Very good value for top quality dishes.

We've eaten here several times and it's always been very good, but yesterday was outstanding. We had a vegetarian in our party of 4 so we ordered 80% veggie dishes. Every plate was delicious especially the raw cauliflower dish. The sole was amazing. Sitting outside in the courtyard in glorious sun was the icing on the cake. Totally recommended!
