The Kitchen at Kingcombe in West Dorset

Blanche and her team could not have been more helpful for our walking group of 16. Because of the numbers we had arranged in advance so that they knew the dishes we were ordering. To our delight they all arrived swiftly and deliciously soon after we rested our weary legs at the outdoor tables in this glorious location. One of Dorset's best cafes in one of its loveliest rural spots. The Dorset Wildlife Trust staff on hand were knowledgeable and friendly too. Long may Kingcombe thrive.

We hoped for reasonable food and we got fantastic, delicious food, great service and a wonderful friendly atmosphere. The smoked cheese rarebit was a taste sensation and the warm Dorset apple cake was sublime. Cannot recommend this enough - if you are in the area, do yourself a favour & pop in.

Warm welcome, friendly service and great food. The goats cheese and roasted veg warm salad from the specials board was excellent as well as the very tasty macaroni cheese.

Delicious food at this venue. Set in a lovely village location. We had a top class Christmas meal here with excellent friendly service. I've eaten there a few times and there's a lovely atmosphere with customers chatting amongst themselves. Highlights on previous visits include a creamy mushroom crepe and a delicious Dorset cheese rarebit. Strongly recommend.

We had lunch three times during our stay in Dorset at Kingcombe. The cafe itself is set within the nature reserve and visitor centre. They do a fantastic range of home made sandwiches, salads and light bites including amazing ploughman’s and homitee pie. They also have a great range of locally sourced or homemade cakes. The setting is fabulous and the staff are lovely. We can’t wait to visit again.
