The best restaurants in Bourton and District North Dorset South West

Stayed the night here. Absolutely gorgeous food. Chef very highly recommended. The staff were very attentive and room was adequate for what we needed for our overnight stay. Will go back for food especially.

Found this little gem thanks to a friendly local we got chatting to when visiting the area. The pub looks gorgeous from the outside but even better when you see the rear garden, so looked after and pretty with lots of places to sit and enjoy the view and peace and quiet, a bonus was the sunshine. Food was scrumptious, lovely upmarket selection (way above standard pub food) at very reasonable prices and we also enjoyed fabulous homemade desserts. Staff were fantastic, very patient and attentive enough not to be interrupting a birthday lunch for my Grandad, this was to celebrate his 96th birthday and he's asked to return next year! Will definitely visit again, just wished I lived a little closer

Friendly welcome and simply amazing food!

It is so difficult these days to find pubs that are open at the beginning of the week and which have a decent menu and the White Lion has both! This was one of the best meals we have had in the area and the place was really busy, even on a Tuesday lunchtime. The menu had a good selection and we had the salmon and the home made steak and red pie which were both really nice, followed by an orange and marmalade pudding with Drambuie custard. Very reasonable prices too. The pub itself is very old and quirky with low ceilings and a beautiful beer garden and is dog friendly. We’ll definitely be back and look forward too to enjoying the garden in the better weather!
