The best restaurants in Blackmore North Dorset South West

The food is lovely with a good choice on the menu and at good prices, including a lovely choice of different homemade cakes, sausage rolls, and sandwiches.

Friendly welcome. Yummy Mocha and good toastie. Nice light space. Clean. Good Wifi. Plenty of parking. Shared a Gluten free slice, not so nice, but that's a very personal thing as I am not gluten free, SO a positive that this is on offer.

From the delicious nibbles in the bar, through the outstanding scallops and celeriac purée with chorizo to the stunning beef wellington with pommes boulangères and spring veg, this was one of the best restaurant meals I have had in a long time. Traditional in all the right ways, this restaurant serves the kind of food I love. Wines are great too. Highly recommended.

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 and staff friendly. Reason for low star was waited quite some time to order food, resulting in past hungry otherwise service was good.

£13.95 for a large breakfast, doesn’t even come with black pudding or toast as that’s extra, £1.75 for a slice of black pudding, £1.50 for a slice of toast, seriously a loaf bread is £2 max for a top brand loaf, save your money and go elsewhere. £9.95 for a club sandwich. A sandwich! Noticed the children’s menu, £4 pretty much £5-£6. Doesn’t even include a drink in the price, not even a cheap glass of squash. It’s a cafe in a local “supermarket” not 4* restaurant.

Friendly welcome shown to the table not enough chairs or place settings for booking! Ordered food waitress didn't know the difference between pork or beef asked for horseradish half way through my dinner before it arrived after asking again! food was good but service not so plus the skittle alley was cold and unwelcoming

The Trooper's Sunday Roast is absolutely superb! It was beyond fault, both for quality and presentation, and we were very pleasantly surprised by the intimacy and cosiness of this little pub – a rare gem indeed! It is quite small inside (although there is outdoor dining for those who prefer that). Thus, there isn't the type of Sunday Roast 'pick & mix' buffet one is accumstomed to in many pubs; the main course is 'plated up' and served complete at one's table, but it is none the worse for that. To say that the portions are gargantuan is an understatement, well presented and cooked to perfection. No inedible al dente vegetables at The Trooper!

Great food as always. But be aware when ordering online you pay over a pound more per dish. And a service charge. So although collected as normal cost us nearly £5 more for a couple of dishes.
