The best restaurants serving British food in Longham East Dorset South West

Lovely Sunday roast/carvery, well presented and although the cost has risen to £15.99, it's well worth it.

Great food and entertainment. At around £50 for 2 with a bottle of wine and drinks included it is worth paying a little bit more than you would in a pub.

Most disappointed with both service and food. The whole experience reminded me of a military cook house. I chose pie and chips, I was offered a choice of two vegetables plus gravy. Big mistake. The chips were of such poor quality that they immediately turned into a soggy mess. The pie was just about ok, very little meat and tasteless pastry. Serving staff were abrupt and seemed more interested in haste than customer service. All this would be ok if it were cut price - as were the ingredients- but the meal for 2 plus 2 teas was over £41! We wished we had been to one of the nearby pubs. The dinning hall itself was loud and uncomfortable, like a cookhouse or school dining room. We go to the garden centre regularly and usually just have a coffee. I would recommend going to Baskets and Blooms which is a short drive away towards the airport, better food, service and value.

IMPORTANT UPDATE 18/04/2025.What a Disaster!!!!! We took my Father for his 95 Birthday to The Angel on Saturday. I could write a book about this, but to be concise. Table booked for 6. Only 5 place on the table we given. Order drinks, all o.k Ordered food, (No Starters )45 minutes passed. We were told order lost. We had to Re order.......a further 40 mins passed and we spoke to the Manager and she informed us the order was lost..again.,but the drinks were free. The same waiter then arrived again and seemed to try and remember what we ordered!!!! Even though he wrote this down twice! Then 4 of the 6 meals arrived...then we he had to order the other 2.....eventally 1 arrived "seriously" then eventually my sandwich arrived... order complete. The manager was spoken to again and she very kindly told us that it was all "On the House" IMPORTANT UPDATE I have subsequently have had communication and a one to one telephone conversation with Mr W Brink, from Hall & Woodhouse Limited. He took the situation very seriously and we had very relaxed, constructive and useful conversation. The result being that we will be returning to a Hall & Woodhouse Inn in the very near future thanks to Mr Brinks generosity. I am sure this time we will have a more true experience of what Hall & Woodhouse have to offer. Thanks Again Mr Brinks.

Very welcoming pub , real fire was very warming , staff very welcoming , food excellent ( curry night ) , drink great price
