The best restaurants in Blackmore North Dorset South West

Coffee and Cakes on A sunny day. Such a warm welcome, and nice treats. We sat outside - grateful for the Parasol. I had my own cushion, as chairs, top quality wood, is a tad hard for myself with Fibromyalgia. When I mentioned this to the Proprietor Hannah (Hope I spelt that correctly) She kindly said I could have one of the cushioned chairs from inside. Top marks for customer care. Thank you, and I will be back. Ha Ha I also managed to leave behind my cushion. It was stored safely until I could collect it. Yes CFS has Brain fog/dizzy-ness. I wish this chic Business great success.

I only went in out of curiosity because I kept driving past the same outside of an industrial estate and couldn't see the cafe so I decided as a hard time on my hand I would investigate I was pleasantly surprised to find an industrial unit sympathetically turned into a cafe with three ladies in an open Kitchen so you can see there is nothing hidden no nasty secrets in the kitchen as I've seen in some cafes it was spotlessly clean will the large section of homemade cakes and other items seems to be very popular as there were a lot of people already there admittedly of the older generation so that was good for me as well I only had a coffee on this occasion but it was good quality coffee so I must say it was an extremely pleasant experience and I shall be returning possibly the sample some of the cakes indirect contradiction to my diet

We went for Sunday lunch and must say the location is wonderful but we both felt it was downhill after that. The food was average, a real shame as we had great expectations. Sorry!

A lovely little cafe but with excellent food at good reasonable prices served by friendly and jolly staff and very well situated from the main car park in Sturminster Newton (Stur) Also don't forget to buy their lovely Turkish Delight.

I brought a battered sausage and it was burnt and horrible what a waste of £2.40 It’s that bad it’s going straight in the bottom n that place should not be open selling food like that.

Lovely food, great attentive staff and couldn’t be anymore polite, look forward to coming back 👍

Beautiful surroundings and very friendly staff. However, Sunday Roasts were overpriced for what they were - one carrot, three potatoes, no parsnip and minimal meet - whilst it was all delicious (especially the red wine gravy) there wasn't much of it for the £18 price point. My husband had the pork and asked for more, but was told that he three tiny slices were the correct portion! My friend had the Waldorf Salad, it was huge. The children's chicken nuggets looked rather cheap. Drinks service was good and the facilities were clean etc. My main issue with this meal was that the portion was not value for money for the roast dinner. Each time I visit my friend in Dorset she has tried to get us a booking at The Green Man, this is the first time we've managed it. I'm not sure that we will rush back on our next visit. There were also a few issues on the menu, such as the menu saying that dessert came with Cider Ice Cream, when in fact it came with Vanilla....and lots of items out of stock but the serving staff not knowing this at the time of taking our orders

I was celebrating a big birthday and had 22 friends visit the village over the weekend, we all had a great time and enjoyed the music, beer and festival food. John Debbie and their small team of workers put on a wonderful show with lots of warm welcome creating a lovely atmosphere right through the 4 days. There was a good variety of music and beer, thanks for all your hard work

We love going to Dikes and browsing and purchasing from the supermarket. We also have a meal first and have never been disappointed. This time round however we felt the portion of lasagne we had was not good value for money. Perhaps a review of portion sizes/pricing is required.

If you want cold crispy chicken in san sauce and crispy noodles with the consistency of shredded wheat, you meal practically thrown at you this is the place to go. WHAT a waste of money, never again.
