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

Me and my wife had regular cod and chips and mushy peas from here today for lunch while having a break away and omg the best tasting fish and chips ever and very large portion sizes we also enjoyed sharing a portion of breaded mushrooms highly recommend 😋 great customer service from the guy also explaining how odd it is depending where people come from if they like salt or vinegar Keep up the great quality of food and service as this is hard to find in many take aways

Friendly service freshly cooked delicious , easy to park and they hav a drive through as well chips are very good batter is gooy

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!

Breakfast hits the spot. Went for a Late Breakfast and what a surprise. Probably the best breakfast I have had in years. Bacon was good quality and no fat. Sausages were lovely with a crisp outer. Egg to pefection. Clean and efficient. Defintely look to come again when in the area. Great find.

Delicious food and friendly staff

Everything was fine! Lots of sockets including by each side of the bed. Lighting strip above bed gives a relaxing ambiance. Good location, low key build next to picturesque thatched pun restaurant and quiet despite being very close to Saindburys McDonalds and Lidl. It might be tricky to exit in peak periods, (high summer), unless traffic is queued then it's probably easier.

Have recently moved to the area and went in today to order some food, looked over the menu and selected a few items. Was told the total came to around £12. Asked if I could pay by card and was told that they only take cash for orders under £15! A minimum spend of £5 would be reasonable but these days card companies fixed charges are not that bad so companies that want to take a lot of cash, and refuse sales on card, don't tent to have my confidence. I'm afraid they've just lost a customer who really does like a good Chinese takeaway.

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.

Went here for a family birthday meal, service was rubbish, food was rubbish, so glad we had a discount voucher, would not have paid full price. Been here a few times before and it was really good, will not be returning after this experience. 1 hour to get starters, another hour to get mains, the children in our party were left hungry, a staff member blamed the wait on a large table of 11, if your kitchen cannot handle large tables don’t allow them to book. Slow to get drinks and always having to ask for refills. Would not recommend anything on the menu, the lukewarm warm burger arrived with half a portion of fries and warm coleslaw, my wife’s chicken tasted odd and the runs were luke warm and tasteless. Went in at 6.30pm and finally got out of the place at 9pm.

Overall very positive. Lovely staff, clean rooms and very nice restaurant. Only negative about the particular room that I stayed in was that it has poor windows and there was wind blowing through them.
