What a perfectly cooked Sunday lunch. Great food . Great value. A treat on a stormy day.Lovely wine. Great service. Thankyou.

Lovely Christmas diner. Very attentive staff. Thank you.

Celebrating a birthday. Had agreat night.

Really delicious food and a gorgeous hot chocolate. The owner and chef are really friendly. Come and try their yums.

The BEST wedding venue in Dorset hands down! We could not have wished for a better day, the organisation, layout, timings, attention and care from everyone was impeccable. Nothing was too much, communication was second to none and it actually turned out more glorious than we thought even though our expectations were already incredibly high. We are over the moon! Don’t give it a second thought

Excellent pizza and a really nice place.

Good portion sizes... spring rolls good but all chicken dishes tasteless in syrupy gunk. Most of it went it the bin. At least the dogs enjoyed the special fried rice!

A very enjoyable and good value breakfast, efficient service and dog friendly, we all look forward to returning in the near future.

What a perfect spot for a leisurely evening of cheese and wine! There's nothing better than unwinding at the bar after a long day, relishing good company. Sam is phenomenal at pairing the wine and cheese, ensuring each selection enhances your experience deliciously. It makes me sad that it has now closed.

Great menu. Great service (and only one waitress...she never stopped) Food was great. Real sausages. Value for money. Will go again & dog friendly to boot.

Lovely location, great drinks! Adriana was excellent, service was over and above!

We went to the Canford pub for the first time. Beautiful setting. Outdoor area really well done. Staff very impressive and helpful. Very happy with service and quality of food. Will definitely go again.

We have visited the restaurant last night for dinner. Our table was booked for 17:30 as it was the only slot available, for 3 people. We were there for a special birthday so we somehow had high expectations. Unfortunately we arrived about 20 minutes late to the restaurant and the first thing we were made aware of was that the table has to be free by 20:00 for another booking. We were then seated at a great table, towards the back of the restaurant, with a sea view. Despite having limited time for our dinner the order wasn't taken untill around 20 minutes from being seated. We have then ordered a stir-fried salt and pepper squid, a seafood gnocchi and garlic prawns with soft polenta for starters, crab linguine and 2 seafood curry for mains. The food arrived late, the squid was more of a salad than a stir-fry, the prawns were delicious , however they were served with bread instead of polenta, the linguine was way overcooked, the seafood gnocchi was ok and the curry was delicious. We have also ordered desert and we had 2 bottles of wine which was very nice. I must say that it was a rather disappointing experience as it was reasonably pricey. Our high expectations were definitely not met, the service was slow and was lacking attention, I had dropped my fork and I had to ask 3 times to be brought another one, the main course plates drips of probably dried sauces under the rim, the prawn starter did not match the description on the menu. There were people that have arrived after us and received their food long before us.

This place was refurbished in 2022, with no great improvement, and the menu was changed badly with prices also increased. We feel sorry for all the staff especially Mark who we got to know as he served us a lot. We are not surprised it has closed but the owners brought it on them selves by ruining the atmosphere and spoiling the food.
