Haven’t been for a long time. Decided to meet some family who were holidaying in the area and was not disappointed. Will definitely be back as food and service was on point. We had mixed grills which were advertised at 24oz and certainly met that with high quality well cooked meats. The chunky chips were crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. My wife said the lasagne was one of the best she has had. So whilst we haven’t been here for years l, we will be changing that to revisit again soon!

For two years now we have spent a week in Dorset for work purposes. We first went to the Seven Stars last year, at which point we went back 3 days in a row. Again, this year, 3 days it was. The staff are great, food it great and it is a must whenever we are in the area. The chefs Satay Chicken is highly recommended, as is everything else we have had to be honest.

Absolutely disgusting from the landlord/chef. I'm assuming that the chef sat at the bar was also the landlord, I may be wrong. The bar staff there were incredible, I cannot fault them at all, but when I was walking just near the bar just to have a look at some of the decor I heard chef/Landlord yell at one of the young girls to get and serve. This would have been fine if it were in a polite manner, but unfortunately it wasn't, it was extremely aggressive. BUT the worst part of this brief visit and the reason for the low star review is down to this said chef/landlord. While my wife, my 7 year old son and I, were in the bar area where he was also sat with his friends, on multiple occasions he was relaying a story to his drinking buddies at the bar when he was bragging about how he had an altercation with somebody. This story was extremely loud and used the F word and C word on so many occasions that I lost count. My wife and I aren't somebody who wouldn't choose to use these words and probably say them, in private, on a daily basis, but me as a gentleman would never dream of speaking like this with not only a child, but another lady within earshot. We had to leave this area, which then after making us feel furthermore unwelcome, we felt we had to leave the pub entirely. When paying £8.05 for a medium sized wine, I'd like to think we were paying for the privilege of a safe and welcoming environment. Not the case here. Appalling.

Staff were lovely, food was great value and campsite was basic but very clean facilities. Hot showers, toilets and EHU if required. Only 13mins from Durdle Door. Would come back here again

Absolutely amazing food as always, proper home cooked roast with fresh vegetables and a good plate of meat. Never had a bad dinner here in over 30 years. The pub is well run and the staff are all very friendly and helpful. Play park for the children, plenty of seating inside and out, definitely worth a visit. Have recommended to many friends over the years and regularly visit too!!

Staff were friendly, food was okay but nothing special. Play park was hazardous with rusty bits, broken bits, missing bits, uneven mats, a hole at the bottom of the slide and a random piece of wood under the slide with nails sticking out of it, looked like it should all be ripped out and replaced, not safe

Came with the family for Sunday roast. As usual the food was good and the portions were large. Would have liked to try the desserts as a good choice but was too full. Love the varied menu and always plenty of choice. The staff are always friendly and helpful. Can’t wait to come again and try the new menu.

Not sure if this pub has changed hands, food was fine and waitresses were pleasant. Previous years this place was value for money, quite large meals and always hard to get a table. Maybe the meal prices have pushed punters away to other pubs.

Got to be honest, when we arrived we were quite dubious as the pub looks a little tired. We decided to stay and had Sunday lunch and the food and service was absolutely lovely. Really couldn’t fault it at all. The kids had chicken nuggets which were really good too. So I would say to anyone ignore the outside go in and have a lovely meal with lovely staff.

Went for lunch here as a Colleague had recommended it. Walked in to a very cosy atmosphere and friendly staff. Real log fire was in the process of being lit and a nice comfy sofa next it. We were told we could sit where we like so chose a nice spot in the main dining area. I ordered the monster mixed grill 48oz of meat plus potatoes of my choosing and veg/salad. My wife chose ham, egg and chips. Food was delivered in good time and service was polite and on point. My wife really enjoyed her meal and the portion was just right for her as she sometimes struggles to finish a meal. Now for mine. Well...I couldn't finish it, it is a monster mixed grill indeed. Sausages were lovely flavour and truly meaty. unfortunately I wasn't asked how I like my steak and it came well done whilst I normally have it blue rare. The liver was slightly over done for my liking but the rest of it was well prepared. The chips are on another level crisp, fluffy and beatuifully cooked. We both had some ice cream for dessert (ice cream has a dessert stomach), and was divine. All the food was reasonably priced for what we had i would go back (although maybe just a normal mixed grill next time).

Very disappointing experience. Staff were lovely but the food was awful. Roast beef was out of a packet as was the vegetables. Even the burger was overcooked & the bun hard. Couldn’t have got this more wrong if they’d tried. I only ever give a review for exceptional experiences. On this occasion exceptionally bad! Sorry Seven Stars but only 1 star from me and that was for the waitress & bar staff. 👎

This occasion the food was awful worse food I've tasted in my life and that is a bold statement , me and my partner had something off the special board to be exact was haddock in white wine sauce with potatoes and whatever it was I ate wasn't a bit of haddock it was so salty and sickly , me and my partner both ate this and paid the bill out of ease we both mentioned thst it was awful and put it down to experience. This is a o e off as I've ate here before and was all OK. But this and the price was disgusting £18.50 per plate and a drink £43 now if it was half nice I wouldn't leave such a poor review.

We use to visit this pub when kids were younger. Older son visits regularly and suggested this location for his birthday meal on a Sunday as he loves their food. The roast was lovely and plentiful where three of us had three meats, and others enjoyed the Lasagne, burger and scampi meals. Drinks and replacements were served promptly. The staff were all lovely and attentive to our table. Great food, great price and perfect service. We all commented we must come back.

We had a large family get together and had a lovely time. The staff were kind, relaxed and patient with us. At no point were we rushed. Huge menu choice with many interesting specials. The food was very tasty and you could tell a lot of attention had been put into each dish. My daughter commented that her steak pie tasted as good as the fabled one made by her 97 year old granny which no-one has ever replicated. Portions were huge and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was cosy and relaxed and attention to detail was as it used to be i.e the request for water on the table was answered with two large jugs of iced water with enough large glasses for everyone - no problem. Many thanks

Me & my partner came here for our anniversary Dinner… we had to push back our reservation, that was dealt with effortlessly & without any problems… on arrival the feel in the pub was lovely, husband & wife owners are lovely, really friendly & chatty. The drinks were baught over really quickly, the starter & main were also baught to the table very promptly… The food was absolutely delicious, probably the best food we have both eaten. The setting is stunning, and so peaceful, there is also a park area for the kids, and a lot of outside space. All the staff were friendly, & chatty & the waitress/waiters went out their way to make sure we were happy & enjoying food. We asked to thank the chef he too was very friendly & clearly very very good at his job… Can’t rate this place any more, found a Gem with seven stars & will definitely be returning.

We have been to this pub for many many years and it still offers good food for every taste bud. All of our meals were of good standard but I think they need a menu refresh as it’s been the same for about 20 if not more years . Less choice and more quality is needed which I’m sure would make life a lot easier for the chef. If you have a dog you need to book a table in the bar as they are not allowed in the restaurant. Great for young kids as they have a lovely playground.

Awful. We were a table of 6 with 6 dogs and we had been shoved in a tiny corner and into a space designed for 3 people and a chihuahua. Staff were totally unhelpful - several were *sitting* at tables and cleaning mats/tables (after several years in hospitality management roles, this isn’t how staff should behave on shift!) and no one offered to help or assist us. In the end, myself and my husband had to leave because we felt so uncomfortable and there was so little room. My sister and her friends stayed for food and when we asked how it was, they said “awful.” Won’t be returning that’s for sure.

Came here for a family meal, when arriving service was okay, some food was really nice others such as the mixed grill and cheesey garlic bread were horrible. All staff were stood around the bar talking and we felt like we were ignored. We had to constantly try to get their attention. Pretty sure the staff didn’t want to be there.. they were more interested in their phones and chatting. So for 2 x adult meals, 2 x kids meals and 1 x drink (kids were included in their meal) it came to £60. Really disappointed with it all, i tried to inform them of the issues we had but had a don’t care attitude. This is a local to us and its a shame to say we wont be coming back.

We stayed in one of the Shepard’s huts behind this place, the lady who runs the campsite was lovely and the hut was clean and pleasant. Sadly we had not been aware that the toilets were in a block nearby and the smell of the communal toilets was not nice. We only went to the pub once to ask for a bottle opener and the landlord was so rude to my other half, she did not want to go back in. A grumpy rude bully of a man who should do anything other than hospitality. We decided not to eat breakfast in the pub because of this, and would not go back. Sad because the landlady was charming and welcoming. Maybe he should retire..

Stayed here for 2 nights and had an absolutely wonderful time. Spotlessly clean, welcoming and dog friendly. Jill and her team are fantastic. Breakfast served by the lovely Kathy is superb! and dinner at the pub was gorgeous. If I could give more than 10 out of 10 I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND

We had a very nice lunch at the Seven Stars - booked a table for 3 of us, we all had different meals and they were all cooked beautifully and tasted lovely. Well done Seven Stars we will be back soon.

Food appalling and Manager/owners attitude was even worse!! As a family of 8, 3 starters were awful and bland which were sent back and 5 main meals were sent back as inedible, would definitely not recommend! The menu is far too big for what they can cope with and Ingredients for the food were very cheap and below standard. Feel sorry for the waiting staff as we were not the only table to complain but they were still very polite.Establishment could do with a damn good clean to remove the cobwebs and dead flies, Gordon Ramsey would certainly have a field day here!!

We are a family of four adults and visited this pub during our holiday.We first visited on a quiet week day and the service was friendly and the food was average pub food, we were fine with this.We next visited on a busy Friday evening and found the service was not as good and the food was not as good either.One of us ordered the Tagliatelle but what came was Spaghetti floating on a liquid base.We will try here again next time we are here but will go on a quiet evening.

Food was great. Nicely presented. Nice choice to suit a family. Staff friendly. Nice little play area for the children. Resident dog walks about and greats you. Been there a few times for a meal. It’s been to cold to sit outside. If you want to sit inside your better off booking a table.

We went out to meet people from our car club (who we had not met before) and were seated on a 10 seater table. There were 8 of us sat together, which we were surprised at in these covid times. We were shown to our seats in the conservatory, but were not offered any drinks on being seated. We had to wait a good 10 minutes before a staff member arrived to take our food order and did not offer us any drinks, so the wife had to ask for drinks too. Whilst waiting for our food, I noticed that the place could do with a good clean. There were ice-cream drips down the side of the table and the the ceiling looked gungy . I think the meal was overpriced at £12.50 for a roast dinner with an overcooked yorkshire pudding and the service was very slow. The wifes pint of orange juice and lemonade was £5, which is a shocking price for a soft drink. It was very disappointing and we will not be going back again

Good location (walking distance) from our holiday cottage, this is the best bit. Premises looking shabby inside, could do with a bit of TLC. The waitress sat us in the conservatory, after trying to seat us at a tiny table in a walk way. Conservatory roof very grubby, needs a jolly good clean. We were not offered drinks when we were seated, nor were we offered a wine menu, we had to wait a good 10 minutes before anyone came back to take a drinks order and then we had to ask for a wine list. Good selection of food but typical pub grub menu and I suspect most of it is cooked from frozen. Service was very slow all evening and waiting staff had no or very minimal training. One waiter actually tucked the cloth he used to carry the food dishes out with under his armpit! We decided not to stay for dessert or coffee as nobody could be bothered to come and take our order. On our way out the chef (proprietor ?) asked us how our evening was and when we mentioned the poor service he subjected us to a tale of woe on how his experienced staff has up and left after lock down ended. We would highly recommend where we stayed but would also recommend that people did not eat here.

We ate here while staying one night in the camp site behind the pub (very convenient for Monkey World and the Tank Museum). Note if approaching in motorhome or caravan, you may want to avoid the country lane coming from the South as it is quite narrow, and we had to reverse to passing places a few times.The pub is very large with plenty of seating, but does not feel like a huge barn as it is sub-divided into areas. We had the Cloudy Apple cider which was alright, and then for starters we had Breaded Whitebait and Goats Cheese with Beetroot, both of which were good (approx £7 each, I think). For main course we both had the trout with prawns (£15), which was amazing, and they were very good about doing mine without garlic. To finish we shared a slice of chocolate orange cheesecake, which was big enough to share, and they were great about bringing it with two spoons.All in all, good food, helpful staff, and the most delicious trout!

I have lived in Poole all of my life, and have visited over the years many pubs in and around Dorset. For some reason this particular Pub had escaped me until last Sunday.I have to say our lunch was first class, and the staff were all happy smiling and attentive. Definitely recommend and for sure we will be returning.

Lovely food, once again. The omelettes were piping hot and delicious, and absolutely fresh. I know they were not scrimped, as they were crisp on the outside and deliciously runny on the inside. Lots of love to you all xxxx :)

We have recently attended two Sunday carveries under the new management. Our first experience was the trial carvery day and the second was two weeks later. We enjoyed the first carvery (the meat and potatoes being particularly good), but some of the vegetables on that occasion weren't so good. However, our second carvery food experience was markedly better. The turkey, beef and gammon joints were all well-cooked, the meats were succulent and tender and the portions generous. On the second occasion, the vegetables were also well cooked and there was a good selection. The staff are friendly and pleasant, but the ‘front of house’ could be better organised, although to be fair one member of staff said that they were trying different “meet and greet” options on the day. Hopefully this will also improve as experience is gained. After seeing very mixed reviews since the pub changed hands earlier this year, it is great to see a good carvery returning to the village. Give it a try and help support your local pub. We will definitely be back.
