Smiths Dorset in North Dorset

Spot on, just had lunch today .catered for my special diet well . Beautifully presented and excellent lunch… Highly recommended 5*

Amazing cafe/restaurant. The staff are so kind and the food is amazing. Had a burger yesterday, others had smoked salmon spaghetti and others had a great salad with hallumi.Beeb here a couple of times and it seems to be different food every time but it’s always delicious Can’t recommend this place enough!! My husband loves the beers too! Lovely little historic chapel nearby too

Woodland cafe with wonderful mushrooms on toast. The day we went it was too cold and windy to eat outside so they moved us into a sort of shed as their yurt was temporarily out of commission .

A lovely lovely meal, in an out of the way place in the woods. The lady in charge went out of her way to accommodate our special dietary requirements, where previous places earlier in the day just gave a straight "No sorry, can't help". Lunch I a massive Tipi with an open fire, (lit just for us)! Milton Abbey in the area and St Catherine's Chapel just a short walk away. Well worth a visit.

We called in for lunch & were certainly not disappointed. All 4 of us had different dishes- & 1 of us is dairy & gluten intolerant. The lovely lady in charge of the kitchen asked me what I could eat & made up a tasty salad. The setting is stunning & we ate in the huge tipi as it was cold outside & they even lit the fire, just for us. The staff were friendly & accommodating. There is a farm shop on site & a few farm animals which we enjoyed looking at. We took a short walk up to St. Catherine's chapel afterwards.

A really unique spot and as it was our first time we had just coffee. This was very nice and we were well looked after. Will be looking to go back and try food next time although my only reservation is the cats that hang around the tables . I love animals but cats hanging around is not my thing

Delighted to have stumbled passed this gem on our hike. Large yurt with log fire to enjoy some food and a drink. Beer on tap and the best roast dinner we’ve ever had! The couple running Smiths were one of a kind, extremely friendly and appreciative for the busness. As a group of food, we needed some extra food for our friends baby and they whipped up some delicious veg and eggs free of charge. Not many places would do that! Worth stopping by for a drink or light bite (if the roasts aren’t available). Thank you for looking after us - we hope to come back in near future!

First time visiting this amazing place for lunch on a Sunday. It was honestly one of the best roasts I have had in a very long time. I had the mushroom and Stilton wellington, it was incredible. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, and the location and rustic feel makes it seem even more special. Will 100% be returning when next in Dorset.

Have been to Smith's multiple times and decided it was time to try the Sunday roast. What an amazing experience from the friendly atmosphere to the amazing roast. Portion size was great and worth every penny would recommended to anyone.

What an exceptional roast! Generous portion size and worth every penny! Its my first time having a roast at smiths and can safely say that it won’t be my last. The staff were super friendly and went out of their way to make sure its was a great experience. The chef deserves every credit for putting together the most amazing meal!

Really friendly unusual place to visit. Good selection of drinks and food well presented by friendly staff

We were reluctantly dragged away from the fair and ended up having the most wonderful experience. They say that food tastes better when you dine al fresco, and this sure proved it. The food, ambiance and staff couldn't have been improved, thank you.

Fabulous, unique and magical setting with great food, really friendly atmosphere. You won’t get a better welcome than Mel, Maria and their team will give you whether it’s just a coffee, beer, glass of wine, full English or just excellent cheesecake 😊

Wonderful evening spent with friends in this truly magical space . The food was fantastic & served with a smile 😊 Such a lovely outside space & the music by the talented Krista green had us all tapping our toes. Would highly recommend 😊

Ama,ingredients cafe/bar set in woodland next to farm shop. Great service, great cider and coffee. Great choice of background music, a woodland oasis. Good luck to new owners who arrived 4 months ago Recommended when you want to escape the hurley burley of life. Thanks, Peter & Gill

What a lovely hidden find! Recommended by a visit from a BT engineer to my house last week! Lovely fresh food, the smoked haddock chowder was delicious, very friendly and welcoming, great atmosphere 😊 There were some other friends there too.. Janine

What an amazing find! This is the best hidden gem we've found. Fresh food, friendly staff, very friendly cats, chickens and pigs! Food was amazing, delicious, cooked fresh and very tasty. The environment in the woods was cozy and special....even when it was raining. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be back! Note to the owners......don't ever change, this is a very special place 💜

Thanks for being so accommodating when we kept changing our arrival time. The children loved their fries and we were so pleased they arrived so quickly. The goan monkfish curry was amazing! All the staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Just popped in for a coffee but really impressed with this lovely place. Got to meet the friendly resident cat and see the chickens while enjoying the relaxed atmosphere in the super woodland setting. The staff were so helpful and really care about the customers, going the extra mile to make the visit one to remember. Great coffee too!

Omg.. totally amazing.. great beer, great chips, great hosts and..... zero 7!! Will be back for an evening soirée.. Thank you. 😊 xx

Wow. Went for a guided history tour/walk to the chapel at Milton Abbas. Tour guide Hellier was excellent with really good knowledge with local historical facts and made it very interesting. Then back down the short track to Smiths for a superb 2 course lunch...

What a fantastic wine tasting evening at Smith’s ! Great atmosphere, beautiful setting , fabulous wine and the most amazing food. A truly 5* experience, highly recommended!

An excellent evening of fine wine, delicious food and great company, all held in the candle light St Catherine’s Chapel.

Mel and the team are simply incredible. Please don’t overlook this wonderfully sited forest glade. It’s rustic with a small but expertly stocked kitchen. The menu looks Simple but don’t be deceived. The food was exquisite! I had monkfish Goan curry! It was perfect ....

Hidden gem in nature: enchanting outdoor eatery with rustic charm, exceptional food, and magical ambiance. Five-star perfection!

Delicious food and great service in an amazing setting. Being up among the trees in the evening sun was magical, and the food was so good - you can taste the care put into the ingredients and the cooking.

This restaurant was recommended to us for dinner and it is the perfect setting for summer evenings - outside and in and amongst the trees, which on a warm summer's day was perfect. There is also an inside dining area being constructed but it was...

Magical afternoon spent here listening to the Wareham Whalers. Wonderful location nestled in the wood at Milton Abbas. Lovely friendly staff. Scotch eggs are to die for!

This place is a unique location in some woods on the edge of Milton Abbas. The food and staff were great. We had burgers and the Bolognese which tasted amazing.
