The best restaurants in Stour East Dorset South West

Stopped for coffee, spotted the luxury hot chocolate on the board and changed our minds. Loaded with cream and marshmallows and sprinkles and sauce and a flake, we could not have asked for more. Delish, and quick service too. Thank you, ladies :)

Honestly this place has HANDS DOWN the BEST roast I’ve ever had. The beef is absolutely insane 10/10

Not my first and certainly not my last visit. The place doesn’t go from strength to strength, but what they do do is maintain their already high standards and consistently improve, particularly in terms of new menu items Standout item today was the humble sounding Cheddar Cheese Croquettes. but beautifully presented and with a triumph of a marmite influenced crumb- they were delicious with a glass if an excellent Primitivo ! Another highlight worth mention was a truly top class Spanish Grenache at the price of many a much poorer wine Cannot close without my compliments to front of house service levels

We would agree with so many of the reviews. We had previously stopped by for a lunch in the garden and wanted to try the evening meal. We were not disappointed - the staff were extremely friendly and the menu selection was very appetising - there were three of us all choosing different meals and we were all very pleased with our selection. The pork schnitzel was delicious and beautifully cooked.

Really good pub and the food is awesome

Amazing food! It was so tasty and very quick service The staff were friendly and the atmosphere relaxed and cosy. We loved the prawn starter and the special mains on the board.

Booked a table for two we were taken to a table shown a specials leaflet with about 8 items on it 7 were crossed off, ordered 2 drinks and given the main menus not told if any of the meals were sold out, drinks arrived were asked what we wanted to eat I chose a steak pie none left I said I would have the pork belly none left this was only 7.15pm, only spicy food left or fish & chips so ordered the fish & chips nearly an hour later my meal arrived, the pub was not busy. We ate up asked for the bill waited, 15 minutes later asked again finally got the bill I usually give a tip not today would not eat here again

One of the worst English breakfast that I have ever had. The fried eggs were rock hard on all three plates so consistant, and when my wife cut her egg in half oil ran out and smelt bad. The beans and bacon was cold . 2 young waitresses more concerned with playing with their phones then clearing up or serving anyone.
