The best restaurants in The Stours North Dorset South West

Excellent food, large portions(the gammon special was exceptionally good).Delivery to the swim by friendly staff, and two free sausages for my staffie Denzil👍🏻👍🏻. Prices are very reasonable considering the portion sizes. Cannot recommend highly enough. 5⭐️

I stayed in one of the very relaxing and quiet bedrooms for a few nights. Really clean and super comfortable. I loved the warm welcome and very knowledgeable staff. Food was outstanding and I can’t wait to return next year! I would recommend staying here, I felt part of the family. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Splendid lunch in nice surroundings. Friendly staff in an historic public house. Set menu, or a la carte to suit most tastes. Real ales, lagers, decent selection of wines and spirits.

Casual lunch with friends. Sadly, disappointed. Food appeared to have been microwaved to reheat it. Some piping hot, but some only Luke warm. Sauce and cheese flavour missing from Mac'n'cheese. No where near as I have had many times in the past. No grated cheese on top either. The place was nearly empty apart from the 4 of us there were only two other coupled and a table for 4. No atmosphere. Staff polite, but looked bored. Would be reluctant to go back again now... sad.

What a find just by chance popped in on a Sunday lunch time to find plenty of tables that were filling up fast we decided the Sunday carvery was a great idea the staff are all so friendly and happy to help what can i say about the food well the quality was amazing all cooked beautifully I would recommend this place to everyone

From ordering to receiving food was a whopping hour!! No one came and apologised or warned us. Deserts then took 20 minutes to arrive(all cold so no reason to take so long) The mains were on the whole delicious but a naan was inedible. The lemon tart was not good at all, pastry was rock hard and way too thick and filling was minimal. Considering that you aren’t even allowed in the garden with a dog on a lead and are relegated to a fenced off area by the car wash I was very angry to see that a dog had been allowed in the restaurant and was sat at a table by the bar in full view of all the staff. I would have taken our own dog if I had known!!

Dropped in to Zero Waste whilst on day trip from London. Encountered light rain, and cafe looked inviting. Warm, friendly relaxed service, pleasant surroundings. Nachos and a bowl of delicious soup both served with generous portions of bread, must point out nachos was supposed to be accompanied by corn chips. Meal accompanied by a mulled wine and water. A pleasant lunch experience.

Always visit this cafe before any fishing trip, and sometimes after. Breakfast is freshly cooked, and very tasty. Love building my breakfast choice, abd believe me. A very BIG!! choice. See you soon.
