The best restaurants in Gillingham Town North Dorset South West

This café is gorgeous, and is a lot bigger than it looks from the outside, it's like the Tardis! It's very airy and has a lovely, peaceful design scheme with a variety of tables and sofas. It is very clean and well-kept, with a light colour palette that is really relaxing. I definitely will bring my laptop and work here. I don't have a dog, but I felt very welcome, and it's lovely because you get to see so many dogs here. They clearly love it. The cakes are homemade and really delicious. There are also lots of high-quality products on sale, I actually bought some raw food for my cat here as there are a lot of products suitable for both. I genuinely think this is a lovely new space for Gillingham meetups.

Just had a takeaway pizza. Why anyone goes to the big chains when I've just had a perfectly made pizza handmade in front of me for a comparable price is beyond me. The pizza was perfectly cooked, the quality of the ingredients shone through in the taste (the pepperoni was streets ahead of the big chains) and it was reasonably priced. Fantastic.

My favourite pizza place in the North Dorset area! Order on the website and collect in 15 minutes or they deliver locally. Quality ingredients and they do anchovies. Much better than their new local competition in Gillingham. Average prices for above average pizza. Helpful staff.

Myself and friends have eaten in, attended events and ordered home deliveries from Kabab Syrian Cuisine and the food is divine. I could eat their muhammara every day it's so delicious! Having lived in the Middle East, it is some of the finest food from the region I have tasted! The friendly, accommodating service only enhances the flavours as it is cooked with such care and the music played in the restaurant makes a visit a wonderful experience. Shukran and we will be ordering again soon!!

1st time for ages, chips were lovely, a few crispy bits and not too much you can't eat them all, decent pea fritter and nice cod

Used to be good - see previous reviews - but now seems to be permanently closed. And it's NOT in Gillingham - it's in South Street, Dorchester (perhaps the DT1 postcode gives that away!). Pity that TA can't be more accurate - this could be misleading.

Food unedible grease literally pouring out of box pitta bread was submersed in grease

This place is alright ! Nice big garden and the beer is good ! The Red stripe I had looked like it should be on TV

Following a recent visit to see family we called in for a drink even though after visiting couple of years back we said we would never return. I must say we were pleasantly surprised at the warm welcome received compared to last time. Adam was lovely, couldn’t do enough for us the American lady was equally as welcoming! What a turn around well done all concerned look forward to seeing you again next year!

Absolutely disgusting service. Waited 1hr 30 minutes for collection. The young staff were verbally abused by the owner infront of customers- VERY unprofessional!! 3 table bookings walked out due to the long long wait. No apologies. It was very disappointing as the food was lovely (once we finally got it) The young staff were greatly under pressure and not respected by the owner. This may determine whether I go there again or not. They clearly need more staff and to brush up on their manners. Respect your staff or lose them.

Good food reasonable price. Great friendly owners

Was abit disappointed I had a special curry but it was tasteless and watery won’t be returning

I actually order from Viceroy multiple times a week, and every time they deliver so fast, and the food is so delicious. 5 star local delivery. They are always so tasty!

I'm a regular at this, my local Costa. Staff are excellent. The gal(Lauren) and the guys are friendly and professional - most importantly they know how to make lovely coffee. Problems - not because of the store's staff :- sometimes deliveries to the store are not in schedule 🤦leading to low stocks of cakes, sandwiches etc .... Some comments have noted *dirty tables* whatever. Sometimes the 2 on duty (occasionally even 1) can be overwhelmed for a few minutes with customers. However ask them to clear/clean your table and it will be done ASAP. Plus as soon as the short rush is over normal cleaning etc is done. The store and toilet ARE wheelchair (accessable).

Food was good and generous portions.
