The best restaurants in Blandford Old Town North Dorset South West

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

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!

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 visited Gorcombe as a company for some outdoor pursuits and built up quite an appetite after all the activities! By prior arrangement we had sole use of the cafe for food, a selection of curries and sides. They were delicious - catering for a nut allergy and vegans within our group too. The service and friendly staff made it such an enjoyable evening and everyone loved the food. I wish I had taken photos but would highly recommend. Such a warm and welcoming place to enjoy a delicious meal.

Best cafe around by miles, fresh cakes every day & daily specials like meatball subs & burgers! Huge portion sizes, deffo doesn’t dissapoint! Good quality food & since being taken over by Mandy the nicest staff in there always up for a laugh & chat!!

Really lovely and friendly staff; lizzie and matt were very welcoming. Explained what drinks they had and made us very wonderful and tasty drinks for very reasonable prices. Just a very friendly place that goes out of it way to give fantastic service. You will not regret coming here like ourselves who had not been here before as we are new to the local area. Hope you try it yourselves!

Great place for soup and a scone and delicious cakes, especially the carrot cake. Service lovely. Will return.

Good food and delivery was quick. I put the wrong postcode in but luckily found us anyway

Visited Steve and the Yellow Bicyclists for a couple of their supper clubs. Always an outstanding and fun evening with gorgeously prepared and cooked food, served with a smile. We understand that Steve will be hanging up his apron, so thank you for everything and good luck for the future. You deserve it.

Tasty takeaway from here. Big portions and friendly staff on pick up.

Gosh, what can I say? Every time that I have had a takeaway from Namaste Ghurka it has exceeded expectations. Once again, absolutely great food and it makes living in Blandford more than well worth living! THANK YOU - BRILLIANT!

Excellent service and very good food and drink served at table by very friendly and efficient staff would recommend to everyone

We held our daughters baby shower for 25 people here at the weekend, Alex put on a superb buffet and drinks (non and alcoholic). So helpful in letting us set up the room beforehand with a balloon arch and arranging a few tables. Everyone commented on what a lovely venue and how nice and friendly the staff were looking after us all afternoon. Alex and his teams award winning cocktails are a must to try,

We stopped for lunch - which was a toasted sandwich and coffee. I had the brie, bacon and cranberry whilst the husband had the brie and cranberry. Both were delicious and very filing ... we'll share one next time. Lovely coffee and delicious looking cakes too. We sat out in the sunshine and couldn't fault it.

I am absolutely gutted that this place has closed. It was my go-to curry house for a sit down meal. Many, many thanks and my very best wishes for the future must go to Somok Ali.
