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

Cleaned table ourselves as dirty. Nice day so outside area was busy. Ordered 2 coffees but they never came despite other table who arrived after us were served both food and drinks. Chased up but got fed up with waiting so asked for our money back and left. As a frequent visitor to the old Dylans, which we loved - won't come back here again. We enjoy coffee everyday and having travelled extensively around Devon, Somerset and Dorset in the the previous weeks, this was THE most expensive coffees we did not have the privilege of drinking. (£4 each) and the worst service.

I have given this restaurant several chances since the new management took over my experience has been extremely mixed, a couple of times the food as been really good, sadly some others not so much, cold carvery, vegatables that looked like they had been sat there all afternoon, tonight we went for a cavery, ( The last one was great) immediately told only two meats as they had run out of one, ok it happens, went to look at the vegetables and everything looked grey, so decided to order off the main menu, no fish and chips ,a pub basic, this is also the third time we have visited and they do have fish and chips, very limited dishes available from the main menu, we had taken friends so was dissapointed. We did notice that they refreshed the carvery vegetables after we ordered from the main menu, this was after 7pm, they stop serving at 8. 3 of the main meals were ok one was dissapointing ,management didn't want to know, we always give honest feedback, my advice , its a bit of a lottery incosistant quality sadly we decided not to return.

Excellent service, really friendly staff and lovely decor. Nice food but overpriced in my opinion. Their automated telephone booking service unnerved me and nearly put me off, to be honest, but overall I'm glad we went. I'm not sure we'll go again as there are other restaurants which are less expensive and just as nice.
