The best restaurants serving British food in Maiden Newton West Dorset South West

We were really impressed with the food Cathy served us. It was a surprise for my mum’s 60th and did not disappoint. Cathy was so accommodating to our specific needs and provided such friendly service. We would definitely recommend.

I stopped for a cup of coffee when road works held up progress. I got the sort of genuine friendly service you don't get in chains and a great cup of coffee too, which I had in the little garden at the back of the shop. I loved the place and would definitely return.

Really pleased to see the Chalk and Cheese open again! (Last time we stayed in the area it was closed) We ate there a few times in the week we stayed nearby. It’s a great pub (dog friendly) with a warm welcome, good beer and really good food! Thanks to Saxon and the team for looking after us!

We had the best ploughman’s lunch we have ever had. It was delicious. We had beef that didn’t look like plastic and some tasty cheeses. We also had some really good chutneys, not just Branston pickle. Would really recommend the ploughman’s. This was all served by friendly, helpful staff.
