The Bar & Grill in North Dorset

Sunday roast was good ie.good selection of vegetables (blue cabbage and cauliflower were tasty, vegetables were not overcooked), generous portions of meat (I had beef which was a bit overcooked for me but it’s just me being a bit picky about beef. It was seasoned very well).Really enjoyed sticky toffee pudding. Good value for money - there was 2for1 deal for Sunday roast. Friendly and helpful service. Nice atmosphere and decor. Will definitely come back to check out the rest of the menu.

Well prepared food and good sized portions. Excellent waitress service and a clean and bright eating area. I was very impressed with the place, would definitely recommend it and will look forward to sampling their weekday menu soon.

I ate here with my friends yesterday for a roast! Me and my girls absolutely adored the roast which was plated for us! It had a perfect portion size and the atmosphere was perfect. I definitely will be eating here more often for a Sunday roast with me and my family and will 100% recommenced with others to go and eat here !

Eight of us had a meal last evening for my birthday treat. Staff were very friendly, food was really good. The decor was warm and welcoming. I could not fault it. Keep it up. We’ll go back soon, that’s for sure.

Four of us had a meal here recently. First impressions were good, nicely decorated, friendly staff. Not much atmosphere as there were only two other people eating, but it was quite early and they have only just opened again under a new format. One steak was ordered along with three fish and chips. The fish was very dark and overcooked, dry but just about edible. Two portions were of a similar size but one was considerably smaller. When questioned, we were told that they were all the same weight. No, sorry, two were much bigger and thicker. You would have got away with that if only one portion was ordered by the table and we didn't have the others to compare it to. Our waitress was lovely and tried her hardest. Maybe we were just unlucky in our timing and things will improve with practice. The menu is quite basic and shouldn't be a problem to do well, especially on a quiet night. Will I come back ? No. I don't live in Gillingham and it wasn't worth the journey. When asked how our meal was nobody was that bothered that we weren't very happy about it. We paid our bill and left, we did eat our food, but it definitely rates as one of the poorest meals I've had.

Such a great little place, I popped in for lunch and ended up having a bowl of Chilli Cheese fries. They were amazing! Very well priced. Generous portions. Tasted amazing, the staff were so friendly. I’ll definitely be going back!
