The best restaurants serving British food in Queen Thorne West Dorset South West

Just not for us - went by others reviews but things have obviously changed. Pub is in a small village down very narrow lanes. Parking is available with a new overflow area but up a steep slope. The garden is being developed, which looked good. Room was ok, good bed but overall tired. Bed was however covered in horrible fleece blankets. The bathroom smelt awful and had visible damp. Shower was also dirty. There are very steep stairs to room and there is a strong smell of damp dog. Decided to have a meal in the pub again based on others reviews but we couldn’t eat it due to too much salt, both meals were inedible. We were told there was a new chef. The Landlord is super friendly and he said he took over recently from the owners. It’s a shame our visit didn’t live up to the expectations but we are just being honest.

I didn't stay the night, so I can't comment on the rooms. But the service and food was excellent. The staff were caring.

Great menu and food was really nice. Good selection of beers and staff were brilliant. Really nice atmosphere, will definitely come again.

Having visited for thr first time after visiting the old castle I had high hopes for the walled garden, the food on entry smelt amazing, if only we could get out hands on some of it, so as a family of 4, 4 drinks and 4 lite bites seemed not to much trouble, alas the drinks came out in 20 minutes so far so good, waiting telling my children it's ok it's busy but should be soon, lots of meals came and went for others that arrived after us, then after an hour I had to go and ask, as I qued up other people were also asking where is their food, the polite girl went to find out and the food was coming imminently. So drinks finished food after an hour and lots of the menu not available, high hopes dashed but lesson learnt. The food was hot and good but the wait was absolutely not worth it. The staff were polite and friendly but the organisation of the whole place needs a big overhaul, and if the food is going to be longer than half an hour then tell the customer, an informed customer is a happy customer.
