The best restaurants in East Dorset South West

Always stop here when travelling down west, decent enough for coffee and toilet break

We went hear on a Saturday for lunch. I used to come regularly a long time ago and assumed it would still be the same quality. Unfortunately the food was awful. I've never complained or returned a meal before but I ordered the bacon and brie ciabatta and when it arrived it was just in a bun and it was freezing cold and the bacon was pale pink and white. I returned it purely for the fact it was a health hazard. The staff were polite and took it of my bill but I could tell as we left they didn't seem to understand why I had returned it and this was worrying as they will probably carry on providing this for other people wh Could end up very ill. My partner ordered the chicken burger which was £16 and it was reheated frozen chicken and so burnt the waitress gave it to my vegetarian daughter thinking it was the vegetarian option. Its such a shame as it used to be lovely here and you could tell the staff were very stressed and unhappy hence why I only returned the uncooked meal. We just paid for the rest and left. It's such a shame as it could be a lovely place to eat like the Lamb inn in Christchurch which is lovely fresh cooked food and cheaper.

Nice warm welcome, service with a smile, food was very very good,served hot, portion size excellent, so glad it’s under new owners, who are polite and customer friendly Well done, We wish you all the very best

Superb Food...order separate sauces....Really Fresh, perfectly cooked, excellent flavours. Great all round.....don't let the lack of a card payment machine put you off......Great Place.

Was temporary closed for a refit. They didn't add this to google.

We went to the Tap & Railway for Sunday roast. The staff were great very friendly , the food was lovely we had a Turkey Roast, good quality food plenty of it and served up hot. Would definitely come again a lovely family lunch.

Ordered at 6:50, delivery said 7:50-8:10. Chased at 8:30, said it would arrive at 8:50. Turned up at 9:15. Food was nice once arrived but won’t be ordering again.

Ordered by website, 45 minutes wait, i got there on time to be told 5-10 mins, another 35 minutes later food arrived, I had other takeaway from JOY which was now cold, 2 people came in and ordered and got there food before mine. Whatever time you are given, dont believe it!!, evening ruined, they are too busy for their own good!!

Lovely hot food and friendly staff.Have to better than other branches we have been to.

Stayed two nights and staff were all very friendly, had several meals and food was all very tasty. We will ddefinately be coming back handy location too very near tje town centre

We had flat white coffees and walnut cake. The coffee was nice and strong. We had it with soya milk. The cake was delicious. Nice outdoor seating too.

Lovely garden centre to browse around outisde, with plenty of flower baskets and interesting statues to look at. Very good layout and very spacious outside. Staff who work in plant area outside are friendly. Cafe lovely and large and serves very good quality coffee and excellent value for the size as well. Had the coffee and walnut cake on one visit, which was very good value and very well made. The vast majority of the cafe staff are always very friendly on every visit. The shop is interesting to look around, with a variety of items very suited to be given as gifts, as well as for personal use. Visited this Saturday afternoon just gone, and found the two young men working on the till to be very friendly, welcoming and polite. On previous Saturday afternoon visits, other young staff members were not friendly or welcoming in the slightest, so this visit was a huge improvement in terms of that. One improvement, would be that a bit of quiet background music could be played in both the shop and cafe, to add to the ambience.

Saturday the 28/9 Ordered meals on line as normal which was all wrong We ordered large cod and chips, 4 batterd sausages What we ended with was large cod and chips, one batterd sausage, one small cod and chip and one small chips. Shame we will not use corfe mullen again

Absolutely awful !! Don’t normal write reviews haven’t got time but this was so bad. We are limited for Chinese takeaways so took a chance on this, really wish we hadn’t dry, tasteless food please do not wast your money.

Quick service. The bacon roll would put posh hotels to shame & as ever the coffee was proper tasty, all without pretentious pomp.
