The best restaurants in East Dorset South West

I took my family for a meal on Sunday it was my wife Birthday as well as Mum’s day. We was welcomed and showed to the table. 4 had Sunday roast and 2 had ham egg and chips. The roast was great. I looked at the Ham egg and chips and asked how was it they said nice. But I could see they was just trying to just be nice. I thought it was just a some ham out of a supermarket for a sandwich. I asked for bill and payed it. When I got home looked at it again and their was £17 service charges on it I know it’s my fault for not checking it properly. But £17 is not right when it is a pub. Also no one come over to ask how the food was we had to ask for more drinks. I think they was more interested in the next sitting. What a shame as the roast was great. So watch out for the service charge!!

An excellent service always 👏 👌 👍

Took ages but the food is pretty good. I ordered a large meal of I think it was fried chicken, and then I just got a kids goujons portion which I ate but it was tiny and I ended up being hungry because I wasn’t bothered to wait another 25 minutes for my food. It’s decent so if your patient I suppose it’s good.

Stayed in Ferndown for a weekend and used this place twice for dinner. Delicious pizza and good quality chips. They delivered really quickly (faster than the estimate) and the delivery driver was very polite, service with a smile is always welcome. Would highly recommend.

Very good service and friendly staff

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

My first visit to Jade Peking & I was made so welcome. The service was friendly quick & all who came for Dinner commented on how enjoyable the meal was, Jade Peking set up a fanttastic evening for me the lovely people even offered to help me carry the bags to the car. Absolutely excellent thank you Jade Peking..

We visited the Sheaf of Arrows for the first time, and will be returning soon. Warm and comfortable, efficient and friendly service, and an excellent Sunday roast washed down with a couple of pints of well-kept ale.

Lovely clean rooms but let down by small detail.. Room and breakfast were included in the £112 price per night. At breakfast I was told that a cappuccino would be extra.. To me that was a complete management greedy mistake to spoil was was otherwise a decent stay. Molly did her job with great enthusiasm but ultimately that experience left me with a bad taste in my mouth. The Customer is always King, and to me the asking at breakfast for more money on top of an already paid breakfast for a cappuccino was petty and greedy by the company.. Rooms and cleanliness was 1st class but ultimately that tiny issue was the difference between first class and last class..

Nice well priced food staff very friendly .could do with looking after walk ins as well as online bookings waited a little long for basic fish and chips

Fabulous pub. Great character, great food and great bar man. Free sample of new beer given and the food was perfect. Ploughman’s and gammon, egg, chips, peas and tomato - gorgeous. Definitely looking forward to going back

Better than our last visit and service has definitely improved. Jess was an excellent ambassador for the pub. Roasts were good, both beef and Pork with good vegetables. Only improvement would be to ensure the gravy, sauces and custard are hot....not warm.

Really nice chips since they reopened. We've visited 3 times now, but there has been a 20/30 minute wait between ordering and getting the food. Fix this, and it would be 5 stars

Had Sunday roast for 8 of us, plenty of food cooked to a great standard. Asked for more gravy, no problem. Very nice couple of pints too. Left feeling that the money was well spent which is becoming harder to find these days. Beef Stroganoff is to die for, Kudos to the chef. Will keep coming back 100%.

Popped in for some food and we had spicey burger with chips and mac n cheese absolutely cooked to perfection highly recommended
