The Green in West Dorset

A wonderful lunch here with family a couple of weeks ago. We all had the pork belly with a local English wine, both were delicious! The restaurant has a lovely relaxed atmosphere and the staff are attentive, friendly and know their stuff. Thank you very much, we will be back :)

Another divine meal at the Green, always fresh, locally sourced, inspirational food. The service was great, Tom and his team are wonderful.

High quality food and well thought out flavours and menu. The quality of the food and attentiveness of the staff is matched by the price so it's not a budget joint. Relaxed atmosphere with low music and medium lighting suitable for a romantic or family meal. Will be going back on special occasions. We travelled to Sherbourne by train and the did the 8-10 minute walk to the restaurant. There is a pub over the road that's pleasant enough to meet up beforehand with friends etc and have a drink.

My daughter who is coeliac was treated like a queen. A huge thank you to all the staff for the care and attention and for her special menu.

Faultless, good service, good prices, tasty food 😃

Tom and his Team serve up delicious but not pretentious food in a welcoming and fresh environment. The Monkfish, Fillet of Beef and Passionfruit Crème Brûlée were out of this world!

Food was great and they coped well with one members of the parties allergies. Thank you all

The food and ambience is excellent. The staff are friendly and helpful. It is advisable to book a table as they get very busy.

The Green was recommended to us by friends and did not disappoint. Service was excellent and although we arrived early we were easily accommodated. Our choice of the 3 course lunch proved perfect. We ate Sardines Escabeche and Goat Mousse with Pickled Pear Starters then Free Range Chicken and Lamb Rump Main Dishes followed by Passion Fruit Crème Brûlée. It was all delicious with our selection of Sherborne Rose and Albariño wine. I have to say the Rump of Lamb was outstanding. We’d started our meal with a Negroni and a Mocktail and finished off with Green Tea. There’s lots of local parking and the restaurant is easy to find. We’d highly recommend The Green.

Fantastic food and exceptional service. The food was creative and delicious. Service was very attentive. Highly recommended.

Will keep this brief. Outstanding food, fantastic, friendly, quietly attentive, knowledgeable staff. Menu changes daily, lots of local produce but if the fillet is on then don’t miss it. Butter soft and loads of flavour. Great selection of wines at reasonable prices. Cannot fault the place.

Da provare assolutamente la crème brulé al frutto della passione. Ottimo il tonno e le capesante. Veramente piatti bilanciati e gustosi.

Enjoyed a fabulous lunch: genuinely mouth-watering menu which was innovative and beautifully presented. Welcoming host and attentive, thoughtful service. Highly recommend. We shall definitely be back!

Delicious lunch as always. Loved every course. Great friendly staff. Looking forward to my next visit. The best restaurant in Sherborne without a doubt

The most delicious food and great service. What a lovely end to our week away near Sherborne.

Delicious food. Efficient service

This is our fifth time, driving from far afield, and we have been rewarded with another excellent fine dining experience. Worth the detour!

Amazing and inspiring menu everything we had looked and tasted amazing! Great atmosphere and great service. Highly recommended.

Without a doubt one of the best restaurants that my husband and I have been to in years. Exceptional food, excellent service and wonderful staff. Can’t recommend enough. We will definitely be returning.

There were 4 of us, and we agreed that the entire meal was one of the very best we had ever had. Excellent and friendly staff served outstanding food and wines. £36 for 3 courses was a steal for food of the highest quality.

Lovely lunch spot- middle of pretty town. Excellent food and service.

A lovely atmosphere, excellent food and friendly efficient service. The restaurant offers group and smaller tables without being cramped or crowded. Staff are welcoming and attentive without being intrusive. The menu offers a number of delicious options to suit most pallets. The crab brulee starter was excellent as were the lamb and guinea fowl. Highly recommended.

Excellent food served by pleasant knowledgeable staff

Superb excellent food, wines and service.

Ristorante molto bello , personale attento e cibo ottimo! Consigliatissimo. In particolare ho trovato divino il filetto .

We all enjoyed the food - my brother had the pork terrine from a nearby supplier, which he enjoyed very much. I had the Dorset Crème Brûlée. It came with a crab and Parmesan twist and the whole dish was absolutely fabulous. Full of crab flavour, and very fresh. For main, we all had stuffed guinea fowl, which was equally good. The flavours of the vegetables were well matched with the chicken. I had cheese for my dessert, a healthy portion that I couldn’t finish. My brother had the crime brûlée and my sister-in-law had the Mille Feuille. They both thought they were delicious. All in all, the food was excellent. The servers were friendly and knowledgeable and made us feel very welcome. If I lived in Dorset, I’d go back often.

The food is delicious always. The staff are charming and helpful, and it’s always a pleasure coming here.

Visiting Sherborne with friends we thought we'd try lunch at The Green. We were not disappointed. We all went for 3 courses and all decided, we would definitely come back again.

1st time we have tried The Green and we will definitely be back, in fact we booked for November before leaving. The food was very good, well seasoned and beautifully presented, bravo. Service was excellent, attentive but not overbearing and very knowledgeable about the menu and wine. Top class, well done the team at The Green

Myself and my Husband have been wanting to try here for a long time and it didn’t disappoint, the food was exquisite and at a reasonable price too. We had the fillet of beef which was cooked to perfection .The service was also fantastic, the chef made an appearance too which was lovely. You can tell the whole place has a passion for food, we will definitely be returning soon. The best meal i’ve had in a very long time, thank you !

Went here for a birthday dinner and it was absolutely fantastic. All staff were excellent, but especially Tom who served us. The food was incredible, cooked excellently and presentation was beautiful. I was sad to leave!

A delightful meal. Food was delicious and great service. Dorset crab and wild bass excellent

Excellent evening out whilst on holiday. Very knowledgeable staff, beautifully presented food which tasted even better than it looked! Would highly recommend and love to return.

Excellent and friendly service, tastefully decorated interior and the food was delicious. If you’re in Sherborne you must eat here.

Had a family birthday lunch today. First time visit to The Green and very impressed. Will definitely be making a return visit

Very tasty, cozy, beautiful interior. The staff is attentive, helps in choosing dishes and speaks Ukrainian!) Waitress Luda is attentive and professional!

Very tasty full of flavours food exceptionally well presented. Service excellent. This is the best restaurant in Sherborne. Highly recommended and canwait to go back

Beautifully presented tasty food, service excellent. Will definitely go back. Best restaurant in Sherborne

This was my second lunch visit and the food was excellent both times.Delicious,innovative and beautifully presented.Staff are friendly and helpful too.Highly recommended.

Another excellent meal at The Green, this time with family. Couldn't fault the cooking, the service or the ambience. Highlights were the scallops and the duck breast - melt in mouth

Had a delightful 3 course lunch with friends. Absolutely loverly food, very good and friendly service. Also good value for money. Will definitely use again.

Superb food and friendly atmosphere..

Wonderful place, lovely attentive staff - amazing food! Still trying to figure out the marinade of the olives! We took my mother in law for her 70th, our first time. Highly recommended!

We visited for a special birthday lunch and the meal could not have been better. First impressions were great as the staff had our beautiful table in the window and a bottle of champagne ready for our arrival - and the restaurant walls are decorated with interesting artwork. The six of us each had 3 courses and all the food was outstanding. Beautifully presented, interesting dishes and all delicious. The duck main and passion fruit crème brûlée were particular favourites. The service was faultless - professional and prompt, yet friendly and relaxed. The Green is excellent value for money and we would strongly recommend.

After hearing lots of great things about this place, I must admit I was vastly dissatisfied. We walk in, get sat a table. Great! First thing I notice is a plug completely exposed. Then the kitchen and the waitress had no idea how to deal with a sulphite allergy which one member has and asked her what she could eat! Then when food came out which the 'chef' said was ok for her to eat, she had a reaction to it. we witness them turn down a table of 2 at 8pm when there was plenty of tables unreserved. The tables aren't in great condition, very worn out. Even the chair I was sat in was warping, felt unsafe. Food was ok, not great. Rather go elsewhere in the future. Not visiting again. Glad I couldn't get a booking prehand.

Lovely food, great service ,easy parking ( in evening) only problem was the staff/owners seemed very stressed almost like they were 2 people short on serving staff.

Excellent wide menu changes frequently and all plates served attractively Very good food Excellent celebrating a birthday Nice ambience Highly recommend

We celebrated our 1 year anniversary here. The food was incredible and the staff were lovely. We enjoyed our dinner here, the space is beautiful as well

Beautiful food in pleasing surroundings. Will be going back.

I now need to go through all my restaurant reviews and downgrade them a star, because I can't award 6 stars to The Green. The restaurant was near full at 7pm, service was being run by 2 of the most professional waitresses I've seen in the UK. But then the food, it was totally exceptional, leaving all other provincial country restaurants in the dust....course after course, all totally perfect. Thank you The Green.

Great food and service. 5 stars 🌟

Delicious! Excellent service and food presentation. I would highly recommend this restaurant, but would suggest making a reservation.

Have been many times and never disappoints! Excellent.

Good menu choices, well presented and decent portions! Service was friendly and efficient. A really lovely meal.

Delicious food, welcoming staff. And deserts are amazing

Fantastic food, staff and service.

Excellent. Fantastic food, drinks and service. It matches any high end restaurants. The Malbec wine is particularly excellent.

Our party was universally impressed

wonderful meal and really great table service. Perfect portions and incredible flavours.

We totally enjoyed our experience at The Green. The service is superb. Everything was really delicious and served up beautifully. We will certainly book again. Absolute gem to have in Sherborne

We have just had the best meal and a great overall experience for years in a restaurant. Superb food, beautifully presented and such quality. We are not local but we will be back when we are next with our relations. An absolute gem. You must book for the weekend and the fish dishes were excellent. Highly recommended.

Excellent food and reasonable price.

Could not fault any part of the meal or service. Look forward to returning.

We had a delicious lunch here on Friday. The green is a delightful restaurant with wonderful, beautifully presented and cooked food - the sign of a very good chef. A varied and excellent menu selection and wines and sensible price point makes this a must. The staff are vibrant and attentive and the setting is adorable!

Fabulous food and staff at The Green we really enjoyed our evening

Lovely food, very well looked after and service not intrusive. Price for three course lunch reasonable. Busy, so probably good idea to book.

Lunch, Table 11, Ma n me. Two delicious first courses and a glass of Rosé. Wednesday's 27gbp for three courses. Highly recommended.

Great food and great service. You won't regret visiting this restaurant.

Have been eating here for some time but it just gets better and better

Best restaurant in town. Great food and normal prices.

Great restaurant. We stopped on the way to the coast and did not regret it. The menu is attractive with a variety of items, a lot of interesting things, there is plenty to choose from. The wine list is large, there is even local wine. The food is of very good quality and the balance of flavors is well maintained. The dessert using Meadowsweet is simply wow in my opinion, worth coming back for, a compliment to the chef who makes the desserts! A place worth returning to!

Really 1st class food and service. Real gem of a place.

Fantastic meal to celebrate our wedding anniversary, great food and service.

Spectacular food, honestly some of the best I've ever had. Extremely kind and efficient staff, along with a wonderful atmosphere. 110% recommend!!

We showed up late in the evening and without a reservation, but we were still greeted by a warm smile and seated at a pleasant shabby chic table. The menu of the day allows you to combine the quality of highly sought-after dishes at a more than honest price: 3 courses (first course, second course and dessert) for £30. Pleasant and unexpected experience, highly recommended!

Really tasty well cooked food, attentive service, good location easy to find.

Excellent restaurant with a lovely menu, we were very impressed & recommend you try this gem. So annoying I didn’t take any photos ☹️

Wonderful dining experience. The waitress was very kind and the food was amazing. Highly recommend.

The best restaurant in the area, it’s not cheap, but would you expect it to be £30 each for 3 courses isn’t bad at all. But with drinks was £99.50 for 2 Lived here nearly 2 years and eaten all over. If somewhere is comparable, I would like to eat there too, will be back soon.

Fantastic gourmet dishes, meticulously created by the chef. Friendly service that intentionally give you time to enjoy each course. Would thoroughly recommend if yr around Sherborne 👌

Very good food, service was good, just one comment dress code for waiters needs looking after, girl wa svery smart but the guy was very scruffy. Be back again.

I was in the restaurant a couple of weeks ago and it actually surprisingly wasn't a good experience at all. My main course turned up cold. And my colleagues vegetarian meal was actually burnt. We didn't have time for a re run. My friend tried to complain about it, as it was a huge surprise that it wasn't OK. Especially with several visits over the years which has always been excellent. The funny thing is that the lady was desperate to move us on, after we raised the issue. And then took payment🙄. You could have knocked me over with a feather. Not your usual great service or quality The Green

One of the best restaurants - if not THE best - we have experienced in England in many holidays over the last 20 years. Friendly service, great atmosphere and excellent food. A bit on the pricy end but absolutely worth every penny. We simply loved it and look forward to coming back here one day.

A great restaurant well worth a visit.

Lovely restaurant. Really great value menu at £30 for three courses when we visited. Quality of the food is really good. Service was really great and friendly. Ambiance really great too. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area!

We were a "walk in" for early evening dinner midweek. One of us had a train to catch. The staff were friendly and efficient and the service level was maintained as the restaurant gradually filled up. The choice and quality of the courses was excellent. We have dined here before, and really enjoyed the dinner (again). And our friend made the train.

Great place to eat, friendly service, interesting menu, fantastic food. Easy parking too which adds to the enjoyment. Try it, you won't regret it!

Lovely, deceptively simple, seasonal and local food served with charm.

Absolutely amazing. Lovely little pub with an excellent chef, great options with vegan and vegetarian food. AND amazing wine

Very elegant restaurant. Attentive waiters and fast service. Had dinner with colleagues. The Devon duck breast with caramelized apple, cabbage, oriental Just, buckwheat and pink pepper was very good. Tasty meat cooked just right. Red wine to wash it all down. Dessert: pear cooked in red wine with vanilla cream and hazelnut praline. Single malt whisky. Recommended for an elegant dinner!!

Whenever we're in or near Sherborne this is hands down the best restaurant. It, Jack and the team have been faultless, charming, thoughtful and made it an absolute pleasure on every occasion... the food, skill of the chef, level of service, attention to detail and the delivery of some remarkable and memorable dishes is exceptional. If they had a branch in West Hampstead we'd be regulars. As it is we have to wait 'til we visit. Thanks so much for making it 110% and continued success, it's hugely deserved! 👏🏼👏🏼

Excellent food and service Thank you

£30 fo 3 course menu was amazing and very reasonable

Excellent lunch and great table service. No rush, just friendly banter. See you again.

Great lunch - can highly recommend the chocolate mouse

A lovely 3 course lunch for a celebratory birthday. Great wine list and as always unobtrusive bur efficient service.
