The best restaurants in North Dorset South West

Awful. In the middle of nowhere on a trading estate next to a Kebab shop and overlooking a factory. If you want to eat outside you eat in the car park! Ordered breakfast, got 1 piece of sliced toast, clearly not homemade and an over done poached egg for 2. Think they tried to dress it up with some seeds or something that were sprinkled on the plate. Pointless.. And 2 coffees. £24!!!! Terrible decor with grey carpets. Not somewhere I would ever go again.

More than just a leading Tea House, Comins Sturminster Newton is a very coeliac friendly café.  Full 5* review at CoeliacwellNES.com.  They have soft doughy GF gyoza, gluten free sweet treats and obviously phenomenal tea.  A lovely place to watch all the comins and goings, will try out the Bath branch soon!

We love Gusto's, great coffee and fab food, 100% better than any of the high street chain coffee bars..... thank you Gusto's .

Amazing food service brilliant all n all fantastic evening Simply a must Ambiance perfect a must if your in blandford Jerry and his team are the perfect host for the special occasion

Delicious breakfast and coffee sitting in the sunshine surrounded by pretty flowers and plants, very welcoming and friendly staff.

We came for coffee in the morning, and liked it so much that we came back for lunch. Lovely staff, and the food was delicious. Can recommend the Welsh Rarebit and Chicken Gyros!

Spot on, just had lunch today .catered for my special diet well . Beautifully presented and excellent lunch… Highly recommended 5*

Can't recommend No.8 Cafe enough. Friendly staff. Nice inside and out. Off the East Street so nice and secluded. I had the Little Breakfast - which was enough and very tasty. Every element well made and sourced. I especially like the mushroom with thyme, cooked for a perfect amount of time and not swimming in butter like usual. Bang on! Had a really nice coffee too. Go!

We were staying nearby for a weeks' holiday and were recommended Fellini's as a great Italian. We ordered takeaway meals, 2 x pizzas, a seafood spaghetti and chicken rigatoni. All 4 were excellent, very tasty and still great temperatures when we got them to our accommodation. We are going to have another takeaway before we go home. This is highly recommend.

We walked the trail way to Fiddleford Manor and Mill then returned to Sturminster Newton for lunch. We looked at various cafes in the town and decided that Joshua’s was the most appealing. Good tea, nice mozzarella, mushroom, basil and roasted pepper toasties at a very reasonable price compared to other establishments. Polite and friendly service, clean tables. There was nothing at all to dislike. A lovely cafe, great lunch.

Ich habe das Vergnügen gehabt, dieses zauberhafte kleine Café zu besuchen, und es war ein absoluter Volltreffer! Schon beim Betreten wird man von einer warmen, heimeligen Atmosphäre empfangen, die durch die liebevoll eingerichtete Vintage-Dekoration noch verstärkt wird. Man spürt sofort, dass hier mit Herz und Seele gearbeitet wird. Die Betreiberinnen backen alles selbst, und das schmeckt man auch. Die Scones, Kuchen und herzhaften Gerichte sind nicht nur unglaublich lecker, sondern auch wunderschön angerichtet. Jeder Bissen ist ein Genuss, bei dem man die Qualität und Frische der Zutaten deutlich herausschmeckt. Besonders hervorheben möchte ich die großartigen vegetarischen Optionen, die mit ebenso viel Liebe und Raffinesse zubereitet werden – ein echter Pluspunkt für Vegetarier. Das gesamte Erlebnis war einfach perfekt. Man merkt, dass hier Menschen am Werk sind, die ihre Arbeit lieben und das merkt man in jedem Detail – vom freundlichen Service bis hin zur Präsentation der Speisen. Ein Café, das durch seinen Charme und die hohe Qualität in jedem Bereich besticht. Für mich ist das PetrAnette’s ein echter Geheimtipp, den man unbedingt ausprobieren sollte. Es bekommt von mir ganz klar eine 10/10 und ich freue mich schon auf meinen nächsten Besuch!

The most amazing tasty food, very good portions. If you're wondering if it's for you, just do it, you won't be disappointed. We will definitely be ordering again

Great service superb views fantastic quality could not fault this place in any way will be returning as soon as possible

Lovely place to stop on our cycle ride, great choice of cakes, fabulous brownies to go with our coffee, we will be back soon.

What a lovely experience. Food and service were great at a decent price. Would recommend to anyone for sure. What was really lovely was the general vibe, whether you are going with a family, or want to siut down with someone to do some work - the place seems to be able to provide for all.
