The best restaurants serving British food in East Dorset South West

All 3 of us ordered fish and chips which were excellent and 33% off ! Lovely pint of fursty ferret as well. Great service from a delightful waitress. Recommended

We went hear on a Saturday for lunch. I used to come regularly a long time ago and assumed it would still be the same quality. Unfortunately the food was awful. I've never complained or returned a meal before but I ordered the bacon and brie ciabatta and when it arrived it was just in a bun and it was freezing cold and the bacon was pale pink and white. I returned it purely for the fact it was a health hazard. The staff were polite and took it of my bill but I could tell as we left they didn't seem to understand why I had returned it and this was worrying as they will probably carry on providing this for other people wh Could end up very ill. My partner ordered the chicken burger which was £16 and it was reheated frozen chicken and so burnt the waitress gave it to my vegetarian daughter thinking it was the vegetarian option. Its such a shame as it used to be lovely here and you could tell the staff were very stressed and unhappy hence why I only returned the uncooked meal. We just paid for the rest and left. It's such a shame as it could be a lovely place to eat like the Lamb inn in Christchurch which is lovely fresh cooked food and cheaper.

Nice warm welcome, service with a smile, food was very very good,served hot, portion size excellent, so glad it’s under new owners, who are polite and customer friendly Well done, We wish you all the very best

We went to the Tap & Railway for Sunday roast. The staff were great very friendly , the food was lovely we had a Turkey Roast, good quality food plenty of it and served up hot. Would definitely come again a lovely family lunch.

Stayed two nights and staff were all very friendly, had several meals and food was all very tasty. We will ddefinately be coming back handy location too very near tje town centre

Lovely garden centre to browse around outisde, with plenty of flower baskets and interesting statues to look at. Very good layout and very spacious outside. Staff who work in plant area outside are friendly. Cafe lovely and large and serves very good quality coffee and excellent value for the size as well. Had the coffee and walnut cake on one visit, which was very good value and very well made. The vast majority of the cafe staff are always very friendly on every visit. The shop is interesting to look around, with a variety of items very suited to be given as gifts, as well as for personal use. Visited this Saturday afternoon just gone, and found the two young men working on the till to be very friendly, welcoming and polite. On previous Saturday afternoon visits, other young staff members were not friendly or welcoming in the slightest, so this visit was a huge improvement in terms of that. One improvement, would be that a bit of quiet background music could be played in both the shop and cafe, to add to the ambience.

Great range of tasty snacks & meals. The cakes are wonderful!! Lovely atmosphere & helpful, friendly staff. I also enjoy sitting outside in the summer time & watching the world go by. I will certainly return
