The best restaurants in North Dorset South West

Great village store, with fantastic pies, good coffee and general produce

A great cafe, busy in the morning with breakfast and coffees etc. Clearly well liked by the locals and visitors alike. We travelled almost 20 miles to have a lovely fresh breakfast here. The decor is fun especially the cruet - you need to visit to see! The staff were helpful and the service good. I recommend it and we will go again.

Popped into this café for a coffee stop during the afternoon. I had previously visited maybe a year or two ago but the inside was not as I remembered it. It turns out there has been a new owner hence the changes. Whilst I didn’t eat this time, looking at what’s on offer, I will be back. Oh, and the coffee was great btw.

I went on a quiet Wednesday afternoon, the service was great and the food delicious. Totally recommended!

A very nice place to stay in Shaftsbury. Lovely breakfast and pleasant staff.

Stopped here for a bite to eat, whilst the menu was a little limited it was excellent. presented nicely and tasted great. Staff were very friendly and the pub had a nice atmosphere

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.

It's a nice clean cafe with a difference. It's full of motorbikes, but this doesn't stop a wide spectrum of people using it, from senior ladies having brunch to bikers all getting on well together, the service and food is great aswell. Fully enjoyed my stop there.

We had a great meal yesterday evening. The owner and his wife were very friendly. The food was excellent (and also so nicely presented). Very good quality, good portions and reasonably priced. Highly recommend the tabbouleh, hummus and halawa.

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⭐️

Friendly staff and a nice place with a terrace.

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

Great food great pub ..... ploughmans is amazing shame they don't do the sharing platter no more

Popped in for a coffee and some cake - lovely but wouldn’t necessarily come again for elevenses. The cakes were good but quite a small/basic selection which has never changed, one of us ordered a pain au chocolat which came very overdone, and the vanilla latte I ordered came in a cappuccino cup and was small and extremely sweet as a result! Savoury food has a better selection so I’d recommend it as a lunch spot. Service was great (very welcoming to a small child and baby in pushchair which was lovely) and very prompt!
