The best restaurants in East Dorset South West

I ate at Flaming Peaches on Friday and I have to say the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The food was packed with flavor. I had a Korean chicken pizza and a cheetos chicken burger. Both tasted amazing......although the pizza could of had more chicken on it BUT the house slaw they served with it almost made up for that as it was a taste explosion. The burger was packed with coated chicken breast and cheetos and their house sauce with complimented all the flavors. All in all great experience.....oh and if you go try their house Daught IPA it's amazing.

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

I went with my 8yo twins, the food was incredible , and the service was so friendly and efficient . My boys loved it too, their faves being the spicy tacos and the treacle tart. My beef was stunning, tender and delicious . Will come again! 😋😍🤩

Very helpful, attentive staff. Delicious food. Found it by chance, tucked away in a lane, off the main street. Will visit again!

We bought some Fish & Chips from here in September after a day out. First time we have used this takeaway and we were not disappointed. Fish cooked to order and the chips were dry, crisp on the outside and soft in the centre. Can’t remember having chips like this for a long time. Delicious and when around we will definitely go back,

Delicious burgers, will go back.

Met a beautiful waitress ordered chicken and chips and was the best around best prices in the area and amazing staff service really freindly vibes will definitely return the chef was loveley and welcoming and the food was overall amazing

We have visited the stocks many times over the past 30 years but this was the worst meal we can remember. The gammon was thin, scrappy and too salty, the chips over cooked. We were asked if we wanted both egg and pineapple and then charged £1 extra for the pineapple, which we weren't told about when placing the order. At £18.95 it was not value for money. We ordered lemon & ginger cheesecake, which was more like mousse on a biscuit base, not the consistency of cheesecake. This desert was £7.95 so you would expect better. We told the waitress,who did offer an alternative, but this was declined. She said “I’ll let them know.” . An adjustment to the bill would have been more appropriate. There is a lot of competition in this sector and regrettably the Stocks prices have edged up too much and now sit at the more expensive end of pub food options. In summary a disappointing and overpriced lunch.

Loved the decor, felt old but well kept and quirky. Good ale selection, lovely staff and good value food.

I will let you decide the value of paying £7.50 for this sausage roll. Also Zero selection of sandwich (beef or vegetarian?) on a saturday I thought was poor Won't be visiting again.

The soufflé and burger were fabulous but the big let down were the French fries which appeared to have been served from the bottom of the deep fat fryer, full of fat and blackened potatoes. Otherwise all was lovely.

An excellent menu with excellent food. We loved this so much that we came back with some different friends. Service was good and staff friendly.

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

Lovely cafe with awesome flapjack and shortbread. My wife was also very impressed with the hot chocolate. Great atmosphere and service made it perfect for a quick stop

Mediterranean omelette was really good. Plus all inclusive breakfast. Second visit, both times excellent. Lovely staff
