The best restaurants in Lytchett Minster and Upton East Purbeck South West

Lovely friendly café which welcomes locals and visitors. Unlike some others in the area, it will be staying open Thursday to Sunday throughout the winter. Great for arty gifts too!

Went to one of Christian’s tasting Tuesdays with my sister and didn’t know what to expect. He was testing a new menu and it did not disappoint! Fantastic quality of food paired with great conversation. A really special experience and would highly recommend to anybody with a love for food.

Very nice food and friendly staff at this very atmospheric and 'comfortable' cafe. Highly decorated for the festive season.

Really like this particular Costa. Well positioned and a lovely atmosphere.

I love dominoes, but tonight the pizza wasn't great normally from the hamworthy Domino's they're great but today my pizza was hala, greasy and undercooked, this could be due to the high demand of two for Tuesdays. Pat still wasn't great. Cookies were great though, as always.

Very disappointing Shakshuka, normally a Shakshuka is a vibrant spicy red and exciting dish of tomatoes, peppers, eggs, spinach, different toppings are added to each version, I had to ask for a spoon as it was more of a brown soup which I couldn’t eat with a knife and fork. All the other items I’ve had from the menu have been lovely, I didn’t complain at the time as I was with my friend. I was also charged a service fee on top, to which I was told ‘it saved people scrabbling around looking for loose change’ hearing such a dire comment is not what you expect, as after all, a tip is given for the enjoyment of food, service and the ambience of a place which unfortunately was ruined by the continuous noise of the blender making smoothies/milkshakes which I suppose couldn’t be helped on such a hot day.

Have been using Dina zone for years. Never had a bad meal, always delivered on time, if not sooner, and it's always hot. Easy to order online. Have tried other places but always come back to this one, we love it!

Had booked a table for Sunday lunch. Arrived to find the floor was still being vacuumed and only one table was laid and we were the only customers. Gave drinks order then, when brought , gave food order. It arrived between 5-10 minutes later. We were convinced the food had been heated in a microwave, my husband’s beef was tasteless and veg was undercooked and gravy was watery and flavourless. My chicken was a chicken portion not even sliced. When we left about 40 minutes later there were three more tables occupied.

That place has gone down hill. I rate the pizza -2 out of 10. What a crap pizza. No taste if you want a proper pizza go to an Italian place or some where else. It was not fully cooked it was a rush job not a fan any more of domino’s. Avoid that place and order from another place.
