The Hungry One in East Dorset

Once again a beautiful brecky... Well worth a visit.....

REALLY great 3 egg omelette with really homemade chips. Friendly atmosphere with quick and friendly staff. Near the peaceful high street and ample parking outside.

Table for four, two with large breakfasts, one with medium and one with omelette breakfast. The food was fresh and very well presented, service excellent and prices less than most of the alternative cafes. Definately a great addition to our breakfast list.

A lovely clean and friendly restaurant set in Ferndowns Car Park. Top class food cooked to perfection.and very quick service.

Decent lil independent cafe. Was greeted with a warm/polite welcome. Had the medium full English breakfast which was delicious. Definitely Worth visiting if you are within the vicinity 🤤. Will be back again. Thank you 🤙

A great little cafe with a very lovely special menu at good reasenable prices tucked away in the corner of Ferndown's town car park off Victoria Road.

Just been in for breakfast, first time since covid. Food is excellent as always was. Service brilliant very pleasant and friendly. Great value

Update: Went in for a bacon sarnie and a coffee. Happy with both and reasonably priced. Staff are friendly. Definitely will go again. The food looked and smelled nice (I didn't eat, my companion did) There was very heavy condensation in there though and my glasses kept steaming up.

Very welcoming and friendly service, child friendly too. Lovely freshly made full breafasts and kids loved their sausage barms. Nothing was too much trouble. Lovely finishing touch- free sweets for the kids at the end of our meal. Will definitely go again next time we are passing through. Highly recommended.

It's a sad time when you have to leave a review due to unwarranted bad service from the gent at this place. Arrived to place an order at at 2pm and greeted with nothing but bad attitude because he decided he wanted to close earlier than advertised. Totally undeserved to be greeted with 'does it look like we're open' shame really, we massively rate it here and been a few times but that has completely put us off ever coming back. An apology is owed, there is no room for arrogant/rude people, especially local business owners. Do better!!!

Go there every morning for a cappuccino on my way to work and nigel is always polite have popped in when passing during the day and Claire is also nice and helpful recomend it to anyone it's better cappuccino than Costa + Greg's and its nice and hot

Lovely cafe , great food , and reasonable Prices . Highly recommended

Very Good food and customer service

Always go here now known the owner before everything I’ve had has always been perfect can’t beat the jacket potato and the breakfast wrap !!

Good food at a good price cater for all

Tasty food, reasonably priced and friendly service.

Staff are lovely and very considerate and friendly when adults with disabilities come in to eat.

Fantastic cafe. Owner does the cooking. Nothing is too much trouble for him to amend items. Service always impeccable, even when busy. Been here many times. Good prices. Good portions. See you soon.

Came down early morning for a funeral, had a lovely full breakfast and coffee, really good value 👌

What a great little find this cafe is. Excellent food at really great prices. The atmosphere is friendly and the staff are always friendly and attentive. That fact that some items on the menu come with free coffee or tea makes the value even better. The sandwich fillings are a lot more than other places. Pictures of a breakfast wrap and a cheese and ham toastie. I cannot recommend this cafe enough.

Brilliant food went in the cafe today for a little pit stop had a sausage egg and bacon bap my partner had bacon bap food was on point even went back for another one very friendly great food definitely recommend

New Owner. A good Cook. The place is clean and Tidy.!!. Ask for Claire. This place is Worth a Visit!!. Good Prices!!. Plenty of Parking.

My son love's this cafe and so does his mum and dad. He is visually impaired (totally blind). They help him feel welcome, and they go the extra mile! 'The Hungry One' have a awareness of disabilities. They will make you feel welcome.

Claire is great very good service.

Average greasy spoon. Service was good

Nice little cafe in town. Friendly staff. Has free limit space for parking. In a convenient location.

It was okay. It might have been me, but only the sausage and tomatoes had flavor. The bacon, eggs, mushrooms and potatoes all tasted the same.

Best cafe in Ferndown lovely staff great atmosphere really friendly place <3

Lovely place, very friendly and accommodating staff and good quality breakfasts.

Went twice whilst on holiday and was fantastic, very accomodating, lovely staff and food was perfect. Great work, and if ever this way again will visit!

There is no toilet available. But the staff are polite and helpful.

Wow what a cheeky find...everything was perfect from the customer service, food, quality, cleanliness and well efficient shame I'm not local to the area as this place is top notch.

Had a bacon, mushroom and black pudding French stick with a cuppa all i can say is bloody lovely will definitely be back thanks guys 😀

My first visit this morning and great breakfast well done. I will be back soon.

Tradional cafe. Clean and Covid aware. Simple tasty food. Kind owner and staff.

Great food even better staff, two great reasons to go..

A wonderful place that we found by accident. We simply wanted a good cup of coffee and to relax. The young lady who served us in the Hungry One welcomed us with a genuine smile. She smiled and charmed everyone who entered, she knew the names of many of her elderly customers and looked after every one as individuals. We decided to have lunch. It was served professionally, came in good time. It was good food and very welcome. We have since been back receiving the same welcome and attention. This is truly a gem on the high street. Highly recommended. I will add photos later.

Fast efficient and friendly service. The food was lovely.
