The best restaurants in Ferndown Links East Dorset South West

Once again we had the most amazing afternoon tea. The cakes were sumptuous and the scones the best we’ve ever had. Liz is an amazing host. We will definitely be back. Thank you Liz.

This Cafe is attached to Pedals Cycle shop. Nice new, bright Cafe. Food is good and includes All Day Breakfast, including Veggie option. Also some Vegan options. They are accommodating and will tweak their menu accordingly. There is an enclosed outside area at the rear and tables also by the main road outside. Adequate car park at rear with Cycle parking. Friendly Staff. If I had a criticism it would be that the food could be served a little quicker - but its worth the wait.

Placed a order didn’t arrive couldn’t get in touch with them by phone or email I assume they are shutdown on a Friday evening

Lovely food, we had mushrooms on toast with bacon, great service highly recommend , lovely family place , very clean and a great vibe

Ordered cod and chips. Excellent chips but the cod was warm on the outside, cold and raw in the middle. Will NOT be returning.

Perfect fish and chips, cooked to order so important, friendly staff, good value, worth a visit and extremely happy to put some coins in the staff tip jar.

Walked in last minute as we’d had a power cut and couldn’t cook dinner. We had a chicken Tikka, Chicken Tikka masala snd a Chicken Korma with Bombay potatoes and rice. Fantastic friendly efficient service!

Great food, great service. Been going here for a few years now and still look forward to eating there. I can’t find a tastier pizza anywhere.

Perfect area to catch up with friends. Clean rooms and quiet. Had a complimentary packet of biscuits in the room, which was a lovely thought.

best kebeb and good pizza tracey

What a fantastic time we’ve had tonight. Great food, great atmosphere, great service & great value. Our server Caz was amazing, attentive & professional. 100% recommended….

Great food. Delivery was great. The delivery driver was lovely and got a tip from me. It wasn’t a big tip but he definitely deserved it and deserved more of a bigger tip if I could’ve. Thank you for your lovely service guys. You’ve always been good to us. We will recommend you to people we know 🥰

When we moved to the area in early 2020, one of our neighbours told us that Bentleys was his favourite places for a Sunday carvery. Then came Covid and lockdowns, so that we have only now been able to try it out, since its reopening last month. We were very much looking forward to it and, whilst it was OK, it was a little disappointing. Firstly the complimentary hors d’oeuvres. One small rectangular plate was presented to us, but whilst the quantity of what was on there was fine for two, the actual components on it were one chicken skewer, one spring roll and two small, but different, tarts, meaning that, other than the olives and feta, everything had to be cut in half to enable us each to sample everything! The carvery itself was neither the best that I have ever had, but nor was it the worst. I was impressed that the beef was cooked as beef should be, and not cremated, and commented as much to the chef. As this was unusual for a carvery both my wife and I went for it plus some turkey. I have to say that the turkey was very nice, but the beef was rather chewy. Vegetables were OK; I thought that the roast potatoes could have been a bit crispier and the Yorkshire was pretty rock solid. For dessert, my wife chose the lemon meringue which, I think was a good choice, because I went for rhubarb crumble and custard and found the crumble topping to be almost as solid as a pie crust. I'm afraid that it is unlikely that we will be rushing back.

Great to see Kevin working here this evening. As always, fantastic customer service from him. As Arnie said "I'll be back"

Hotel should be rated a 2 star. Poor service, no one at the reception desk to greet you. There's a button on a phone and wait for someone from the restaurant to come to the desk. My room 18, was dark with very little light, except for a couple of small lamps on the bedside tables and one by the entrance door. Security is a major issue, room doors do not lock properly and you must make sure to lock the door behind you!!! Was given a skeleton key to the patio door, seriously that is the best way you can lock a patio door in 2025?? Not really secure, there is NO SAFE in the room. Hotel is below standards of a 3 star and lacking in many ways. There are better and more secure hotel options nearby.
