Visited for valentines evening meal. Food was good. Pub was welcoming and warm. Unfortunately we were seated right in the far corner of what appeared to be an anti room to the left of the front door. It was wood panelled and resembled a sauna, no windows, no view. We were informed we would be joined by others. One couple did, ate and left reasonably quickly. They actually left with their drinks to go and sit in the bar ….Another couple did arrive and the 4th table was never occupied. We could hear the laughter and general atmosphere of the pub but could not see any of it. We are local, have visited for many years and actually had no idea this small anti room even existed. Part of the visit to the pub for us is to make an effort to get dressed (I work from home), experience the chatter, hustle and bustle, maybe bump into local people, we know, “people watch”etc. none on offer last night. Then to top it all we got someone else’s bill. We did point this out as it was clearly 50% less than ours. What a shame. We were genuinely disappointed. I hope we return, but only to sit outside in the warmer weather. Not in what I felt was something akin to my garden shed (that has windows and more atmosphere), Make sure you check out where they seat you.

Went for a family Xmas meal. The food was excellent but what was more impressive was the service. Each staff member was polite, attentive and nothing was too much trouble. They were efficient in clearing tables without feeling rushed. It was a change to see a pub with the right amount of staff to cope with Sunday lunch the weekend before Christmas. You pay a bit more but I'd prefer that than to have mediocre food and service. Well done from someone who has been in customer service for 50 years.

Sunday lunch with friends , lovely staff . I had the roast beef which if I'm honest I thought was a bit "lacklustre " for the money , 3 pre cooked hard roast potatoes, a boring side of cheap veg and about 4 very thin pieces ( can't call them slices) of beef , and the Yorkshire pudding had obviously been cooked ages ago and kept warm as it was very rubbery. Such a shame as my French Onion soup was a delight . My fellow companions had the pork or turkey- all of which looked a lot better than the beef- so although on the whole I would recommend this lovely place, I would suggest that the roast beef is probably best avoided!

Absolutely fantastic! Sunday lunch for 11 people. It was a busy day and they still got everything absoloutely spot on! Food was fantastic, drinks were flowing and the service was brilliant. All of us agreed that it was probably the best Sunday lunch that we had had out in a very long time.

Highly Commendable for excellent quality , friendly atmosphere and comfort The surrounds are a perfect setting . There is ample parking spaces opposite Easy access to the ' Dinning area including the ' Bar ', restroom etc. We had a table for four near the fire and the window side . This was our choice . The meals were top class as well as the service . We , will certainly go again for a special occasion . A little above average price but, worth every penny. This , is only a review at 'HOLT ' near Wimborne , Dorset . There are other places ' THE OLD INN ' . ( for your guidance ).

From the warm welcome from staff, to the prompt service and excellent food we had a lovely family evening. My boys and I choose the pizza and all agreed it was one of the best pizzas that we’ve had in a good while with crisp base and great taste. My wife had the scampi which she also enjoyed. For dessert one son and wife had the pecan pie which they both polished off. I had the knickerbocker glory a favourite of mine and left me very satisfied. Thank you Old Inn Staff, we’ll be back again next month! 😁😍

Loved it! Staff were very welcoming, the food was lovely, service was spot on. I loved the flowers and seating area out the front. Good parking for less able customers. I don’t mind a service charge - you can remove it if you wish - if it goes to yard working staff it’s worth it. Definitely will come again…

Called in for drinks on our way home from holiday at the coast Wow Should have read the reviews beforehand Especially the answers from Simon So pint of beer £5.70 Glass of wine £11.50 That’s London prices not middle of no where in Dorset prices Though Simon says we need to pay the 12.5 service charge for his staff ( saw three , one in an apron one in a flowery shirt and one older lady laying tables under the trolleys ) I used to cater for weddings and never got a tip 12.5 % to serve a drink I was in the wrong business

What a fantastic experience. Having visited before but not had a proper meal, thought we’d treat ourselves. The place looks great with covered outdoor dining. We were later lunch diners but were welcomed and seated straight away. The service was really good and nothing too much trouble. I had the salmon - just wow! Exceptional. Hubby had the belly pork which I assume was delicious as he almost licked the plate! So, it is slightly more expensive than other pubs but, honestly, it’s worth every penny. We would definitely recommend and have already booked to return with friends. Go and enjoy it.

The refurbishment since I had last visited has made a great improvement to both the interior and the exterior. The seating and tables looked attractive and welcoming. The waiting staff were attentive and pleasant. However, I think the wine by the glass was too expensive, there should be a cheaper “house wine” or carafe option. My meal was liver and bacon. I would have much preferred a plate, not a bowl, and for proper tasty onion gravy to be served on the side. The individual elements were ok but the execution, plating and attention to detail were lacking in my opinion. Had it been served on a decent flat dinner plate, the food would have been easier to cut and eat and would not have ended up squashed in a mushy pile all on top of each other in the middle of the dish; and had the bacon and onions been crisped up for some texture, and the liver properly caramelised AND it hadn’t had gloopy thick generic gravy blobbed atop it would have looked and tasted MUCH better ! For £22 I expected something a lot more refined to be honest.

Have heard great things about this place so was pleased to visit last night for some drinks. It was very busy - which is a good sign! The staff are all absolutely amazing, service is 11/10. So friendly, chatty and welcoming. Great atmosphere too. It’s a lovely place! Coming back for food here soon. What a joy! In the warmer weather there are lots of outdoor tables too. Plus a cute little semi outdoor area at the back with a wood burner and sofas. I’ll be coming back regularly. Can’t believe I’ve not been here sooner!

I would have given a 5 but my chicken Thai green curry was watery and the chicken was very very dry. Not succulent chicken with a rich green curry sauce. The prices are in the high side.

It was a busy Sunday, and hubby went to get drinks at bar, but was ushered back to table, as tables outside the front (patio) are not numbered. Waitress took drinks and food order. There was a little wait, I had large Chardonnay, brand on menu not listed other than from Chile, £11. London prices! Food was fine, hubby was presented with the reader and he paid. Then he was given the bill, They put 12.5 percent service charge (for a couple) at a pub on bill. Too late to challenge. Lovely view. We do tip, but not usually on drinks at a pub where we tried to go to bar ourselves, and drinks were not cheap to start with, wine was previously £9.50 at the start of summer.

We decided to have the Roast for Sunday Lunch. We thought £24 each was a little steep for what you got. The beef was so thin and pink it nearly moo'd, the carrots where so hard you couldnt stab them with your fork. But on a good note the roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding was lovely.

We had 75 people to a special celebratory party and had ordered a buffet meal with all soft drinks, draft beer and house wine included. What we were given well exceeded expectations; food was lovely and the staff incredibly helpful. The venue, a back bar plus garden and covered area for the music was perfect. Many of our guests commented on both the lovely venue and the excellent standard of service by every single member of staff. Cost was as quoted, just under budget. The whole package gave us a memorable day with family and friends.

We went to the White Hart in Wimborne as a family group of 8. It was for an 80th birthday celebration. We went on the quiz night on a Tuesday. We all had a meal and drinks the value is amazing. The welcome we got was so friendly we could not have chosen any where better. I would recommend Simon’s Quiz even though we didn’t win.
