The best restaurants serving British food in Blackmore North Dorset South West

Visited for dinner for belated birthday. Have been coming here since I was little (now 55!) and it never disappoints. Warm welcome, so nice to sit and enjoy drinks and nibbles in the comfy bar whilst choosing from the menu. Food was delicious all 3 courses. Service friendly and professional. Wine recommendation spot on. Only wish would be to bring back the dessert trolley.

Amazing food!! very reasonably priced, very polite and attentive staff, would highly recommend to anyone! :) I Don't understand any of the negative reviews on here at all...there a load of rubbish because the food is top notch 👌

We've had lunch here a few times in summer so decided to have dinner one evening. It was okay but nothing more than that and very expensive for the standard of cooking, especially when compared to nearby similar pubs like The White Horse or The Fiddleford Inn. Everything was as described but the absolute bare bones of it so the sirloin steak was about 30% fat and only came with one smallish mushroom and half a tomato and chips, the fillet was about half the size you would normally get and the fruit crumble amounted to 4 spoonsful for £8, and the price for our puddings was actually £2.50 more than on the online menu. You can get away with small portions if the food is imaginative and cooked to a high standard but this wasn't and we could have made the whole meal to a similar standard at home for a fifth of the price.
