The best restaurants serving British food in Shaftesbury Central North Dorset South West

Absolutely lovely stay here. Hosts were friendly and very helpful. Our room was clean with good facilities. Great location for the town. Breakfast was superb.

This is a hidden gem of a cafe. We went for breakfast and it was lovely. Well worth searching out and they are so friendly. We will be back 😊

Always served with a smile and great tasting food and good selection

Nice place to eat in Shaftesbury. Lovely atmosphere and lovely staff you'll feel well taken care of by them. Food is very nice and very well price. Nice local placw to get some breakfast or Lunch.

The cafe definitely feels like it’s in an institution - it has a feel of a church/hospital/AgeConcern cafe. It’s in a multi-functional building that houses the prison’s learning centre, on the second floor. It was originally opened to serve prison staff and visitors, but is also open to the general public 10-3 (kitchen closes at 2). It’s simple food - jackets, baguettes etc and is fine. We were served by two very hard working ladies - no sign of any inmates and no “HMP” stencil anymore on the cappuccino (as was shown in someone’s post). You could forget you were in a prison, the few reminders being bags, mugs, aprons etc with the Jailhouse logo on. It’s a great cause (rehabilitating prisoners) and worth supporting if in the area and in need of a simple lunch.

Such good food for reasonable prices, very friendly team that make you feel confrotable 10/10
