The Old Brewery Cafe and Kitchen in North Dorset

I went there with some friends on a christmas meal on 17/12/24 and found everything excellent from the food and drink to the friendliness and professionalism of the in house team for catering and looking after such a large group as well as other diners.lovely collection of vintage motorbike's representing one of the premises previous guises as a motorbike garage 👍

It is such a lovely, friendly place to go for coffee and cakes, or the most amazing cooked breakfast.

The best breakfast I’ve eaten couldn’t fault it! Very friendly and accommodating staff and nice airy cafe!

Mixed experience at The Old Brewery. The service was very good, quick and friendly and the coffee was good although the large Americano seemed to be just a single shot with extra water rather than 2 shots (it wasn’t very strong). The Brewery breakfast tasted really good for something which came too quickly to have been cooked to order and unfortunately this was evident with the eggs in particular which looked like they had been sitting under heat lamps for a while. Overall the quality of the food was very good just a shame it wasn’t cooked to order.

I love the Food and the Bikes on display, very friendly staff.

Great café and great atmosphere, lovely friendly staff and really good food. What more could you want....

It's a nice clean cafe with a difference. It's full of motorbikes, but this doesn't stop a wide spectrum of people using it, from senior ladies having brunch to bikers all getting on well together, the service and food is great aswell. Fully enjoyed my stop there.

Been many times and the staff and food are excellent. The staff are all lovely, so friendly and helpful. Service is great and food is delicious.

Found this place by chance and stopped for lunch the menu had a good slection and staff were very friendly and helpful also dog friendly.

Nice ride out for me from Christchurch on motorcycle nice breakfast friendly staff. Looks like it’s dog friendly as well. Well worth a visit.

Very clean and friendly staff today, excellent lunch

Lovely place, food is lovely too, also love seeing all the fabulous bikes on display.

Stopped by for lunch during long journey from London to Cornwall. Extremely friendly service, excellent food. Highchair and baby changing facilities. Would definitely stop off again if passing.

An ideal place for motorcyclists You can see a display of the owner's motorcycles and enjoy a nice coffee or lunch.

Great place for a bite to eat food was great and reasonable prices

Another return visit on Thursday, 19 September 2024. Super food, an all day breakast and super coffee. Lovely people to look after us, as always, and the top spec Horex to lust after. A superb meal, visit and day.

Great food, friendly staff, well run and great value. And a good number of interesting bikes to noss around as well.

Fabulous food, amazing views of bikes with history, stunning garden area. Would recommend to anyone to try it out.

Found by chance on the street... Magnificent place... Really very friendly staff... Right place for a motorcyclist... Really good food

I just can't fault this place. It was worth every visit. Came down with a buddy of mine in the downpour, and it was great.

Lots of bikes to look at while your munching away. Outside seating too.

A superb breakfast, attentive staff and an invigorating environment, especially for bikers but sufficiently relaxed for all to enjoy. Many thanks guys.

Lovely lunch (jacket potato and all day breakfast) surrounded by gorgeous bikes and decor. The new bar looks enticing and I'm determined to find a reason to hire the meeting room soon. There's still a fair few motorbikers popping in, but the quality of the food has attracted a diverse crowd.

Lovely place friendly staff lots of interesting bikes on display..hence bikers welcome

Went for the first time as the BSA Gold Star (southern section) meet there . Food and service Excellent. Will be there next month. Steve..

Just had breakfast there for the first time with my husband delicious food Thank you

Good atmosphere (somewhat feels not finished) service was great, seated in minutes by staff, food took about 15-20minutes but was worth the wait. Burger was lovely chips fresh and crispy, Hallumi fries were crispy and fresh the salad was good, not limp or dying. Sandwich was fresh and lovely bread no texture of being stale or left out. A bit on the more expensive side but the flavours and portions were as expected for paying a bit more.

Nice garden, food is limited especially vegan options. Carpark and clean toilets. Friendly staff.

It was all good until I paid the bill and was charged £8 yes EIGHT pounds for two pints of soda water with lime!!😱

Hidden gem, a few beautiful bikes, and a fantastic gorgeous garden our the back.

Lovely place good food, friendly staff. Really enjoyed my Birthday treet out. We would definitely go back again and recommend others to try dining there.

A good biker Café but is more than that nowadays.

Had a lovely lunch at the Old Brewery cafe. I had the soup of the day (mushroom), it was delicious! My nan had the small fish and chips which she really enjoyed. Staff were helpful, polite and attentive. I've only marked them down a star as I would like to see more vegan options on the menu. Currently they can adapt the Vegetarian breakfast (removing the egg) and the veggie burger (removing the halloumi).

Nice bike stop. Good roads on route

Full of motorcycle nostalgia,love it

Nipped down from Northampton to catch up with our son and partner who live in nearby Marnhull. This seemed an ideal spot for lunch - we were not disappointed. Sons ploughman’s excellent, my brewery club toastie spot on - blooming filling, wife loved her fish cakes. Good service, good value for the quality. Nice venue too..

A cracking establishment with superb food and a great service

A lovely non rushed meal with family and friends not seen in over 40 years. My cousin couldn't have picked a better place.

What a fabulous little find. I don't think it's been open long but it is a superb place to visit and grab a bite to eat. Small but interesting bike collection to look at. I bet it's busy at weekends. If not it should be. Highly recommended. Oh, and it's dog friendly too.

We were here for a family gathering. My sister had come home from America for a visit. First time in 43 years. Together with my other sister and partners we met up with my Aunt and cousin and partner.

Great! Friendly staff with a good atmosphere. Also, while drinking your coffee you can sit and gawp at a Vincent Rapide.

I have temporary dietary needs & was offered excellent choices. Really wonderful place.

Lovely food, spacious cafe and staff are very friendly

Nice coffee and bacon sandwich. Friendly people

Really nice place to go . The coffee was great and to sit amongst different motorcycles of all ages was great 👍

After being sat at a table, I waited 20 minutes to place an order. The drink and food was efficient, but the service was soulless. I expect it my be different for locals, but a cheerful service just wasn’t there.

Lovely breakfast and initial service let down sadly when we asked for additional hot drinks to be told by the young man waiter it would take ages to make them so we didn’t bother. Been a while since we’ve been here and may be a while until we come back again after today sadly.

Fabulous place . Positive in all . Highly recommend .

Today went for lunch with friends, very disappointed I must say. The industrial fans were very noisy, and we had to move tables as you couldn't hear each other speak!! We all had burgers, which were very average, compared to our last visit. Overall not a good experience.

Very nice spot for coffee and excellent cakes..

Food is lovely, and the service is excellent

Just had a full english at the Old Brewery, excellent food (generous portions and quality produce), very friendly and helpful staff and a bustling but not loud atmosphere.

A unique dining experience with tables set amongst vintage motorcycles. Dogs are welcome inside, or you can enjoy the lovely outside dining areas in better weather. It is also a great place for bikers to meet up for a superb breakfast. There is plenty of parking front and back. Great menu and friendly service.

Excellent. A big improvement from when it was mostly motorcycles. A great place to go either as a cosy twosome or a bigger party

Excellent service and food with motorbikes , it can’t get any better .

Delightful biking cafe. Always some very interesting machines to view.

Definitely unique, nice place for lunch with happy staff. Food was nice but not exactly cafe prices so a treat as opposed to frequent visitor.

Not much to look at from the outside (a bit of a big corrugated shed), but very nice inside with lots of classic motorcycles, memorabilia and tastefully decorated dining area. I had the pancakes and a smoothie - pancakes were good but quite thick and came with only a spoon, and while I managed it, I could see someone less able making a bit of a mess. Maybe spoon, knife and fork? Service was also a bit slow and inattentive, despite there not being lots of customers in. Still recommended, with a good menu and plenty to interest the classic vehicles buff in your life!

Great atmosphere for this renovated brewery. Motorcycle collection a particular interest for me.

Food was very good apart from the fried bread which was dripping with fat the only thing that spoilt my meal Staff very nice and a comfortable eating area but it is expensive could not justify the amount on a regular basis

Excellent breakfast and superb staff, strongly recommend.

Full English birthday breakfast, excellent service, delicious food , best sausages, and nice thick bacon with a perfectly cooked fried egg. Will definitely visit again next holiday.

Great breakfast and nice service.

Absolutely outstanding venue. Excellent menu choice and the food does not disappoint. The staff are really friendly and helpful. A definite go to for daytime food.

What a great place to stop and hang out. We stopped for tea and toasted tea cakes on the way back from the coast, avoiding the busy A roads. Sitting inside at a table surrounded by old motorcycles. If you haven't been it works be a great destination for a ride out.

An excellent place to stop for a coffee or a breakfast, just wish I was more local. Friendly efficient and professional service. Can't wait to return.

Excellent. Superb food and great for my hubby who's a keen motorcyclist. Went here today again. Had a fabulous lunch.

We rode from Bristol to visit and it was worth it. Very expensive but very nice. Staff are very welcoming and fast service. I had a "Ton breakfast" and a pot of tea and it was neatly £16. Not somewhere I could afford on a regular basis but that said , I would visit again.

Really nice food, decent sausages and well presented. Lovely location with decent parking and a lovely garden with picnic tables where you can eat in the Sun

Quality food at reasonable prices. Service is friendly. Pleasant surroundings inside or outside. Retaining the motorcycle theme from the original cafe but not just a bikers café.

Superb cafe, staff, food, and motorbikes. What else do you need in life. Take my money now.

Was on a bike ride out and decided to stop over for a breakfast, but I can't fault the service. Friendly staff, food pipping hot when it's served. Top quality 👌. One of my top recommendations for dine in.

Very nice will go there again, visiting family so ideal

Had a lovely Birthday afternoon tea with a friend in the garden. Was lovely 😍

Been a handful of times now, good food, polite helpful staff, in a very pleasant setting indeed. Sitting outside is recommended if the weather allows, as the garden is lovely, there is a covered area also as well as very pleasant seating and setting inside.

Lovely breakfast. I'm no food snob but you can tell quality ingredients in a fry-up. My photo might look a bit tomato heavy (yum) but I asked to swap out the mushrooms (yuk) which was no problem. Good service and very friendly staff. Lots of interesting bikes to look at too.

Had a lovely lunch with a group of girl friends in this most unusual eatery surrounded by motor bikes. It's a very relaxed atmosphere, service and food was good.

Fabulous place! Good food and service. Make sure you check out the vintage motorcycle display inside.

This is a stunning place, and the motorbikes just finish it off, along with some of the writups of the bikes themselves, my only niggle, and this is from a northan biker, is it's not cheap, not the sort of place I would stop at on my bike run somewhere, as for 6 light meals, and 6 drinks (tea, coffee, hot chocolate) almost £100 I found a bit steep, but then again I am a bonifide northaner with short arms and deep pockets

plenty of seating in a landscaped setting.Good sized car park. Wide menu choices.Fanrastic collection of motorbikes to look at.

An amazing find. Has a great USP too.

Very interesting place to visit, my first time will definitely return

What a find !! Great food and service 👌 dog friendly and surrounded by beautiful classic and contemporary motorcycles 🏍

Food ok, motorcycles are an interesting addition

Food and staff excellent plenty of room

We regularly enjoy a stop at the Old Brewery Cafe when out on our motorcycles, the food and coffee are good, the garden is lovely and the atmosphere inside amongst the motorcycles is great but above all the staff are absolutely lovely, thankyou, see you again soon.

Always a great breakfast can't be beaten 😋

Update... It's now just a Brilliant Cafe.... With a private Motorcycle Collection of Great Classic machines... Oh yeah the food is outstanding quality, the atmosphere welcoming and the Staff are friendly... Old review... Great range of clothing... A modern motorcycle venue... Knowledgeable and friendly staff...

Used to be part of Moto Corse. Now run as a new entity, and still with an interesting collection of bikes on display. Really nice atmosphere, good food and pleasant service. Still a very nice stopping off point for passing, or visiting motorcyclists.

Nice place with nice food. Recommended

Lovely place for a snack or main lunch. Surroundings are beautiful.

A well deserved 5 stars! Lovely spacious venue, fantastic service and the breakfast, 10/10. Just because they looked good, the bakewell tart and vegan banana slice had to be devoured. They were were heavenly! Did I mention also reasonably priced, too? We'll definitely will be back. Thank you

Had breakfast with a couple of biker friends. Nice food, great service and atmosphere. Would recommend!

Nice venue. Clean and tidy, good service. But their prices are a little steep. We were charged £3.30 for a Large Americano yesterday! I thought £3.05 Caffe Nero in Bournemouth was OTT but this tops even them. ONS reporting inflation still high, due hospitality, and no doubt energy costs.

Spot on really good service and friendly staff Big 👍👍 all round

Great food and service Met here with friends yesterday and enjoyed a lovely lunch Dog friendly and some parking available

Didn't eat there,as was only going in for coffee, but people I met there said food was good.

Highly recommend. Love it here. The display of motorbikes is nice. Well-behaved dogs are welcome. Staff are friendly and helpful. The food is very good. Roast on Wednesday, but booking is recommended. Open Saturday at weekends, and they are hoping to open on sundays and some nights too. It's definitely worth a visit.

Great breakfast,the best sausages!!!! fast service and very nice staff!!!

Brilliant. At last a decent place to eat in Gillingham...and we can walk there. All support for an evening opening. There is nowhere to eat in Gillingham despite tge large population...the two pubs are missing a trick, they could be so much better.
