The best restaurants in Dorchester West West Dorset South West

Absolutely fantastic food, atmosphere, staff and service. From the moment we walked in - on rainy November morning at 0830 - we were made to feel so welcome. Ordered omelette with bacon and sourdough - will definitely set me up for the day.

What a better atmosphere in the last few weeks, the new owner is redecorating and is really trying to turn the pub around. Beer garden is a really good sun catcher. Good range of drinks.

Picked up the takeaway only to find it wasn’t actually cooked. Wouldn’t be surprised if I get food poisoning!!! Disgusting, don’t eat here

This is a hidden gem in Poundbury right next to the Poet Laureate pub. It serves great coffee and great food in a clean and welcoming setting. The team are so welcoming you immediately feel comfortable and I noticed that several groups of friends regularly use the café as their chosen meet up location. I recommend the full Rnhlish breakfast and the omelettes. Highly recommended and popular spot in Poundbury

Gorgeous little cafe- and big shout out to the young girls who were working there. Nothing was too much trouble. Food scrumptious- from soups to brunch and cakes- we sampled lots! Can’t wait to go back on our next visit to the area

A welcoming and friendly pub which serves a decent range of beers and spirits, good food and a brilliant Sunday lunch roast. A rugby fans pub where internationals and rugby union premiership are regularly shown and occasionally European football. Its got a comfortable seating area long bar and booths and very easy parking. Lovely family team and they love a bit of banter and friendly chat with their customers. Highly recommended.
