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

Casual lunch with friends. Sadly, disappointed. Food appeared to have been microwaved to reheat it. Some piping hot, but some only Luke warm. Sauce and cheese flavour missing from Mac'n'cheese. No where near as I have had many times in the past. No grated cheese on top either. The place was nearly empty apart from the 4 of us there were only two other coupled and a table for 4. No atmosphere. Staff polite, but looked bored. Would be reluctant to go back again now... sad.

This was our second visit. Very poor service and restricted menu. Only came to ask for drinks order then, had to ask for someone to serve us. Not given teaspoons with our drinks. Other people who came in after us got served before us. Staff very disinterested and disorganised. I appreciate it was busy but, that is no excuse as there were lots of staff. When the food eventually arrived it was good. We were in the restaurant for 2 hours! Won't be visiting again.

Dropped in to Zero Waste whilst on day trip from London. Encountered light rain, and cafe looked inviting. Warm, friendly relaxed service, pleasant surroundings. Nachos and a bowl of delicious soup both served with generous portions of bread, must point out nachos was supposed to be accompanied by corn chips. Meal accompanied by a mulled wine and water. A pleasant lunch experience.
