Went for Sunday Roast beef on 27/10/24 excellent. Loved the work they put into the exhibit in the garden for Halloween. Been going to the wishing well every time me & my wife visit Dorset. Staff are always so friendly.😍

Not allowed fried egg for breakfast, but it's on the menu for lunch! Maybe the fried egg chef starts later? Took the shine off it for me, I've tried their poached and scrambled eggs but nothing beats a fried egg for breakfast.

We enjoyed a family Sunday lunch here as part of our daughter's christening celebrations. We found the food to be delicious, the service attentive and the staff friendly. The restaurant was fully booked and the staff were extremely busy, however they worked exceptionally hard and we couldn't fault the food or service. We are looking forward to returning soon and seeing the beautiful gardens in the sunshine.

Called in for a hot chocolate and milkshake with my son. We were made to feel really unwelcome by one member of staff in particular. Our drinks took 20 minutes to arrive, 5 minutes apart and were not particularly nice. I don't usually complain about anything but really spoiled a lovely afternoon

Beware!! The prices on the menu are not the price you'll pay at the till! They add on a Service Charge, but do not mention this when you pay. There is also a box for Tips!! Bit greedy and cheeky? I have not been to a place where they add on a Service Charge for years, but they think it is still common. If you were given a bill at the table and could therefore see it, that is one thing. But with a brunch etc you tend to just go and pay at the till, and there is no mention at all of the Service Charge. This can add quite a bit extra. Apart from that, nice food and coffee.

Absolutely lovely Sunday lunch in the marquee at the Wishing Well! The marquee was warm with a heater and blankets. The food was delicious, with gluten free options. All of the staff went above and beyond throughout. "Thank you" for making our family get together so enjoyable. Special thanks to Jacci, Ben, Tracey and Sarah. Highly recommend a visit to the wonderful, award winning Wishing Well!

Came here two years ago with my mum. I thought it was so good I would come back in 2024. I am on a GF diet. I realised before ordering the scones would be small. I asked to order an extra scone which I was told I would be paying for two cream teas. So I had two scones and two sets of jam and clotted cream. There was an option for a scone on the menu. I paid £12. I felt guilty of the waste of jam and clotted cream I didn’t touch. I don’t feel I will be coming here again. I’m feeling like they were trying to squeeze money out of me. I’ve been to some places where one pays £8 for two gf scones, one jam one clotted cream. I don’t remember experiencing this before.

I recently had the most delightful experience at Wishing Well in Upwey! The meal was not only scrumptious & yummy, but the fantastic menu offered a variety that catered to every taste. I had the creamy mushrooms on sourdough then a delicious apple cake to finish. The gorgeous gardens were very charming, and the staff were not only happy but also incredibly helpful, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. A truly wonderful dining destination – five stars all the way!

Our last afternoon tea was at Fornum’s and - hands down - afternoon tea at the Wishing Well was better. We had a lovely time celebrating Mothering Sunday and the food, atmosphere, and service were impeccable - lovely manager Sarah made us feel incredibly welcome throughout our visit (and was forgiving of the fact we arrived rather late for our booking). Sarah was attentive and professional and ensured my Mum had a fantastic time. We will be back.

The staff were very nice and the service / attention was great. The gardens are like a tardis, thought, this won’t take long, I was wrong, so quaint. However the 3 * are for the price of the High tea, £48 for the contents of this picture ( High Tea for two), do they all charge this amount. The taste on the palate was all good, just the cost, I know things have gone up, just took the shine off the activity

A lovely place, clean and tidy. The breakfast tasted fine but I did feel over £8 for a small slice of sourdough, half a smashed avocado topped with one tomato was very expensive. I think it should have been two slices of sourdough with the poached egg included

Had a lovely Sunday lunch at the Wishing Well. All the food was excellent, lovely service, fairly priced menu. The Wishing Well is a characterful building that welcomes you and gives you a hug as you walk in! Lots of lovely cakes on display and the milkshakes are out of this world! It's a delightful way to end your meal by taking a turn around the lovely gardens and visiting the actual Wishing Well and river at the back of the restaurant. At the Wishing Well, you can be assured of a high standard meal in a very pleasant ambience. Great for families and special occassions and vegetarians and vegans also catered to.

Last minute choice after picking pumpkins nearby in the rain. Due to a ‘no show’ table they were able to accommodate all 5 of us.

Traditionally a strong family favourite for somewhere trusted to be the best quality food and service without question. Today we were booked to sit outside and with the British weather doing what it does best and changing in a heartbeat we were apprehensive - after being seated in the gazebo area we soon realised our 87 year old birthday gal was not going to have the best birthday celebration - with that the owner came to the table to offer us a table set up further inside with a patio heater - this was welcomed and we settled to order drinks. With that - thanks to a ‘no show’ table, we were welcomed inside to the warmth of the main restaurant. All the staff were polite and accommodating, food was incredible as always and we enjoyed the whole lunch. Thank you for going beyond to make it the best experience for us all, especially the birthday gal!

Our friends had visited before so we knew it was going to be very good. Certainly lived up to our expectations. The tea room is set in beautiful gardens, with the River Wey appearing from a spring in the grounds. We were lucky with the weather so ate in a little arbour outside and ate a superb roast Sunday lunch. Considering the number of people there, we didn't wait too long. The food was delicious - both mains and desserts. Everyone who works there is very friendly and welcoming. The tearoom is dog friendly, and I would certainly book as it is very popular. I can see why!! The parking was along the quiet road, and we found a space in the little church car park. Well worth a visit!

Surprised to find that you are unable to leave a review on their website ? I took my Granddaughter here today, a long awaited visit that I had promised her all summer. I ordered scrambled eggs with sourdough toast & tea, my Granddaughter ordered American pancakes with fresh fruit & cream with a hot chocolate. This came to almost £26.00. after a wait my tea came , after another wait our food came , sometime later the hot chocolate came followed by the cream for the pancakes. The scrambled egg was so dry I could slice it, one mean piece of dry sourdough , not buttered. Pancakes were 3 small shop bought pancakes all were burnt (black) all around the edges, the 'fresh' fruit was frozen (defrosted & mushy). So so disappointing we were so looking forward to this special time together. Last visit for me I'm afraid : (

We had afternoon tea here and it was wonderful. The cafe itself lovely and the staff very friendly and welcoming. When we got there at about 2.45 it was very busy as people were finishing lunch. Our table was booked for 3.00 so we had a walk around the beautiful garden. There were streams and pools and, of course, the wishing well that dates back to George III. There are tables and chairs near the water as well as inside. Afternoon tea itself was delicious. Three different sandwiches, scones still warm from the oven with cream and jam and a selection of individual cakes each one very tasty. The scones were the best I have ever tasted. Had a lovely afternoon and will definitely go again.

Had a day of soaking up Weymouth vibes and stumbled upon this absolute gem. The outdoor garden by the river was lovely especially with those heavenly homemade scones. Just a tiny whisper in the ear: they might consider adding bee repellent to the table settings – it became a scone vs. bee showdown in seconds! I bravely sacrificed half my scone to the bee battalion, which, I must say, was a bit of a bummer since those scones were lush

This was a beautiful location for us to get married, with lovely gardens. We had the high tea option which was most enjoyable, with a generous selection of sandwiches and cakes. The staff were attentive and ensured that our special day went by very smoothly....

We booked a table here for afternoon tea to celebrate my elderly Mother-in-laws 93rd birthday. Not realising that you had to book 24 hours in advance and pay a £10 deposit! We were informed that they do not serve high tea to 'walk in's'. We...

Went here today with one of my friends, had Welsh rarebit, it was disgusting. The bread was sour dough , wasn’t even toasted, so therefore was very soggy.. The owner still charged me for it, even though I didn’t eat it. My friend had vegetable...

Our family of 5 visited for a cream tea. There was an overall lack of care and attention. Cracked tea cups,and food presented in an un caring manner. We couldn’t understand why it seems so popular. We will certainly not be returning. It’s a pity...

Went there for lunch and me and my friend decided on the king prawns with lime and chilli with chips and garlic bread for £18 . They were busy but it arrived about 45 min Later , the presentation was amazing , however the sauce was very very oily and tasteless .. the whole thing had no flavour , we were very disappointed. The chips were fab and so was the garlic bread . It was such a shame . Also we had no napkins or wet wipes given to us , so it was a messy eat , don’t know if I’d return and Im A local x

Called in for lunch on a wet, miserable Sunday. Didn't intend having a full on roast but they looked so good we felt we should try them. We weren't disappointed. We went for the standard size ( you could have a small appetites one or a two meats one for less or more money) and I opted for beef whereas husband chose the pork. The meals came pretty quickly seeing as the place was full up. We hadn't booked but it seemed like many people do as lots of the tables had reserved signs on. Our meats were excellent and the plates piled high with veggies - cabbage, carrots, Swede and parsnips plus roast potatoes of course. Lots of all of them but they could've done with being a bit hotter (roast spuds were very hot but the other veg weren't). Husband had plenty of gravy on his pork but my meal was very dry, just a bit of gravy in the Yorkshire pudding, none on the rest of the plate which made it a bit of a struggle to get through. I'll be brave another time and ask nicely if I can please have some gravy but they were busy at this time so I didn't want to be a pain.

I found Daniel's Chickerell the day I moved in to my new home in June 2021, looking for a quick takeaway chippy. What a find! Really excellent food. The portions and range of food is great, well cooked and the staff are efficient and friendly. Since then my family have always had our fish and chips from here. I've also used the Littlemoor shop and it's the same there. Daniels is my go-to chippy always.

The food is fantastic and great value for money. Warm and cosy pub. The roast dinner is to die for. The bar prices are also reasonable. Friendly staff.
