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.

We stopped off here for breakfast at the end of a weekend away as we’d heard from our hosts that they did good food and were dog friendly. The food was delicious and great value. The staff were really friendly and welcoming and we managed to pick up a couple of early Xmas presents for hampers as a bonus! Would highly recommend.

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 👍

Amazing food, portions exceeded my expectations , great local produce. Definately worth a visit plus they cater for parties which is great for family celebrations. The staff, especially Matt the manger aswell as Cam and Kerry will cater for all ypur needs and dietry restrictions. I am always made to feel welcome, a roaring open fireplace, great food and fantastic homely staff you will feel at home which completes the entire experience of dining out. Definately worth seeking out on any day.

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.

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.
