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

I Had a family evening with cocktails to start,unfortunately they had not a clue how to serve or make these,by a friendly young girl,the food was the worst i have had for a long time,and although i told the elderly lady she seemed to listen but shrug it off with no effect,totally overpriced for what we had ,very small meals,missing the main ingredient FOOD.I hope they can improve and get a barman in to make the cocktails,they need to be shaken,not just pored!!

Capped my balls and searched me and northing searched me done nothing happley searched me and nothing done nothing wrong feel disseminated and de humiliated

Good points. Tables cleared quickly. Toilets (ladies) nice and clean. Minus points staff most unfriendly and curt. Food was served rather haphazardly, the scrambled egg missed the toast rather than being on it! Coffee machine needed attention, coffee was tepid.

We went there with friends and our well behaved dog that was always on his lead as we were lead to believe it was a dog friendly pub. We sat in the corner and let our dog have his toy to keep him entertained and although it was a squeaky toy it wasn't overly loud in a busy pub. A local complained as it was upsetting their dog even though they were the other side of the pub and it wasn't bothering anyone else in a fairly loud atmosphere. As he was obviously a regular the bar staff asked as to stop our dog playing with his toy saying its not a dogs play ground . I'm sure this conversation wouldn't of happened if it wasn't the batman's friend absolutely disgusting behaviour won't be going back any time soon

Ordered two regular breakfasts and two coffees. Allergens were asked about and dealt with efficiently. Coffee was good. We found the breakfast to be greasy and not particularly hot. The bacon was very hard (not a new complaint, but very hard to eat nonetheless), but obviously at this price and with two kitchen staff, bacon cooked to order isn’t difficult. The FOH staff obviously had their favourite customers and tgey were the ones who received good service. On reflection, would not eat here again

Disgusting service from an elderly lady in here. My daughter was rudely approached by the old hag, and told not to eat her sausage roll in the restaurant as she isn’t a customer. I explained that I was going to be eating and buying drinks. We didn’t even have the time to find a seat, as my daughter was collared by her half way in. Now I totally respect that places don’t want you eating food from other eateries. But her manner and approach was completely aggressive, and to approach an 11 year child. I explained that if there is an issue to then speak with me, the parent. Totally rude and ill mannered, and the rest of the staff had an awful attitude. I’ve eaten here before and food has always been mediocre. Just cheap and cheerful. The service is just appalling. AVOID

Wowser!!! Don’t give this extremely rude business your hard earned cash!!!! Outrageous unprovoked aggressive behaviour!!! They don’t deserve to survive in a competitive market. Went to Greggs and had a tasty cheap breakfast served by a lovely friendly young lady. Thank you Greggs! Let’s not bother supporting small business’s if this is their attitude!!!
