The best restaurants serving British food in Charminster and Cerne Valley West Dorset South West

Great food busy pub lots of people eating carvery

Wow. What a pub. Sat in the idyllic Dorset village of West Stafford lies this little gem. I couldn't have been more impressed. The roast dinner was perfectly presented and tasted even better. Nice work The Wise Man. Can't wait for round 2.

My favourite place to go. Roast on Sunday during weekday, steak pie. Excellent service, so friendly. Reasonably priced. Never fails to impress me.

Stopped overnight as a family utilising 3 rooms. This is service the way it should be from arrival to departure. A perfect break.

We made a late booking and the staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome. With 8 of us in the party, we expected a wait for the food but it arrived in good time. The food was reasonable value and excellent, especially the Dorset apple cake.

Stopped for a quick lunch while walking the dog today. I was served by a lovely young chap who was smiley and very helpful. He even offered to carry my tray outside as I had the dog with me. I chose a delicious cranberry and brie toastie. It was served piping hot and was PERFECT! I sat outside in the sunshine looking across the woods. Great value and can totally recommend this special place.
