We would agree with so many of the reviews. We had previously stopped by for a lunch in the garden and wanted to try the evening meal. We were not disappointed - the staff were extremely friendly and the menu selection was very appetising - there were three of us all choosing different meals and we were all very pleased with our selection. The pork schnitzel was delicious and beautifully cooked.

We had an excellent meal at the Golden Fox and the service was superb. The lamb dish was very tasty. We would definitely go back there again.

Lovely cosy pub restaurant! Talented chef, dishes made from scratch including sauces! Dinner was amazing! Landlord is very attentive! Beer kept well! I can’t believe that it was not heaving! It should be! Please use or loose!

Excellent in every way. Stopped her for lunch The staff were friendly and welcoming, a small but interesting menu selection. Tasty, generous portions. Unfortunately no space for a pudding, they looked very good. They were quite quiet which surprised me for such an excellent venue Good car park

We have been here for dinner and lunch and enjoyed the experience so much that we paid a third visit for Sunday lunch. The service was excellent and our drinks were served promptly and after a suitable time our orders were taken. The prawn starter was delicious and the smoked salmon and goat cheese starters were nicely presented. 3 had an excellent roast beef and I had a superb lamb shank. Two puds were really good and the two coffees at the same time were very good. We were the last to leave a very busy lunchtime and were not hurried. A superb dining experience and highly recommended

Our friends had raved about this restaurant and when they offered to meet us for be lunch we were very quick to accept, Very warm welcome, nice layout in a pub atmosphere and on a very hot day a cool interior with the option of a garden table. We ate inside and were impressed with a small but varied and interesting menu. My wife was very happy with the black pudding and then the smoked haddock with spinach mash, I had the pork schnitzel with salad, chips. Nd mushroom crème sauce. We both really enjoyed the meal which we followed with treacle tart. We really enjoyed the meal.

I’d like to start by saying that this is a beautiful venue and the service was exceptional, however the food was let down purely by poor quality ingredients.. cheap burger buns that fall apart and frozen chips, which when charging £17 for burger and chips is disappointing, the steak and mushroom sauce however was delicious

Visited the local area and stayed nearby. This pub was recommended by hilltop barn where stayed. Ate 3 consecutive evenings. Food was excellent and varied. We did book before going or the night before, staff and landlord were friendly and very efficient. Reasonable prices. Was quieter during the week so no problem getting a table but would recommend booking for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Would highly recommend.

I have to say I was expecting great things, given all the good reviews, sadly it was not the case. Sunday lunch was well cooked, but nothing special, apart from the seafood Platter which was outstanding. Fairly mediocre roast beef lunch, small portions of veg and beef which was thinly cut from a small joint. Sweets were fine. £3.50 for a lime and soda was outrageous and they initially wanted to charge extra for more veg, given the fact they had provided so little originally, but agreed to remove from bill. Service was very attentive but lacked finesse. Felt it was overpriced for what we got. Will not be returning sorry.

Greeted as soon as we walked in the door by Kaspars the owner. This pub has exceptional service, food and decor. We were served by Jed who was very polite and knowledgable and very attentive. We ordered the chicken in a stilton and bacon cream sauce with chips and salad and lamb shank on bed of mash potatoes with vegetables. Both meals were absolutely delicious and we savoured every mouthful. We then ordered sticky Toffee pudding with cream and icecream and chocolate pudding with chocolate icecream. The desserts were very beautifully plated. The evening was very memorable and I would say it was one of the best pub meals that I have every had. Can't wait to return. Kaspars and his staff really are fantastic.

We phoned up just 15 minutes before to book a table for two for afternoon lunch and they were very good to accommodate us as a last minute booking because when we arrived they had three very large bookings, one being a birthday celebration. Despite this, service was very quick, we both had the roast beef and there was plenty of it with lovely fresh vegetables, a really nice meal. We’ve been here a few times and the staff are lovely and very attentive, they really look after you and make sure you’re happy with everything. Thank you for a lovely lunch.

No vegan option available!!, and the 2 vegetarian options have been on the menu for years. I asked if they could do roasted vegetables and chips from other meals which they did, and the food I had was tasty enough, but there was no offer for the chef to prepare me something. When I checked Trip advisor it said vegan and vegetarian choice available, this is definitely not the case. The owner told me they are not that kind of establishment. For fish and meat eaters the menu is fine, but hasn't changed in years.

Been coming here now for several months and this place is consistently outstanding. Sunday lunch last week with friends and I was awkward asking for the lamb shank but with all the trimmings of the beef. No problem at all I was even asked if I wanted the beef gravy or the red wine jus. The service in this place is second to none, nothing is too much trouble, friendly without being over bearing. We all had soup to start (to die for have it every time) and a main and a pudding (OMG sticky toffee pudding like I have never had before) with drinks, both men had 2 pints each and came to £152. Such great value, lovely home cooked food with a touch of something extra. The owners always accommodating and their young waiting staff are exemplarily and a real credit. We highly recommend to everyone. You cannot go wrong here. Love the place.

Family of four (2 adults and 2 little ones) visited for an early dinner on Saturday night. There appeared to be a quite a few regular locals in, which is only a good sign in my opinion. Friendly service and the gentleman behind the bar remembered my name when he said goodbye. Food was very nice, tasty and reasonably priced. They did not have a children’s menu but were very accommodating by offering smaller portions from the main menu. Would definitely visit again if we were in the area

Yesterday, two of us went to The Golden Fox for lunch. We always get such a lovely welcome. The menu is varied, not over large, and the specials board adds extra sparkle. The food is excellent. The chef is talented; everything is beautifully cooked and the sauces are delicious. The puddings are yummy; special mention must be made of the sticky toffee pudding; the best that we have ever tasted. However, there is a varied selection and the chocolate mousse from the specials board was light and lovely. The service is very professional and friendly. If you live in the Wimborne/Blandford/Poole area or are just passing through it's well worth a visit.

The Tea Room & Garden at the Museum of East Dorset (MED) in Wimborne Minster is a beautiful spot for light refreshments - both hot and cold. The Tea Room is connected to the beautiful garden of the museum and, thus, victors can, in the warm weather, be seated in the outside patio area to enjoy their drinks and snacks whilst experiencing the aesthetically glorious garden. The MED Tea Room also has a light inside dining area which has lovely views across the garden due to the big windows. The staff is comprised of volunteers who are friendly and welcoming; refreshments are ordered at the café and served to your table. The Tea Room and toilets are very clean and the menu includes a very reasonable charge for food and drink. The Tea Room and garden are accessible for all visitors and there is a disabled bathroom. The walled garden is a location for everyone (of all abilities and ages) to enjoy, play, relax and explore.

A lunch with a friend in Wimborne and Cloisters is always our first choice. I use a wheelchair and quickly on approaching the staff spotted me and access was no problem. You do have to book I was chuffed when the soup was Celeriac soup and the flavour was perfect with some crusty brown bread.

Loved the decor, felt old but well kept and quirky. Good ale selection, lovely staff and good value food.
