The best restaurants serving British food in Lytchett Minster and Upton West Purbeck South West

This was our first time here and I had a “cowshed” breakfast and my wife had a “calf” breakfast - the “cow shed” was a larger breakfast with 2 eggs, 2 bacon and a hash brown along with baked beans and vine tomatoes mushrooms and toast and butter The staff are friendly and helpful We will return

We have recently attended two Sunday carveries under the new management. Our first experience was the trial carvery day and the second was two weeks later. We enjoyed the first carvery (the meat and potatoes being particularly good), but some of the vegetables on that occasion weren't so good. However, our second carvery food experience was markedly better. The turkey, beef and gammon joints were all well-cooked, the meats were succulent and tender and the portions generous. On the second occasion, the vegetables were also well cooked and there was a good selection. The staff are friendly and pleasant, but the ‘front of house’ could be better organised, although to be fair one member of staff said that they were trying different “meet and greet” options on the day. Hopefully this will also improve as experience is gained. After seeing very mixed reviews since the pub changed hands earlier this year, it is great to see a good carvery returning to the village. Give it a try and help support your local pub. We will definitely be back.

Excellent service staff very helpful and friendly especially Mia the food was wonderful will definitely go back again highly recommend
