The best restaurants serving British food in Sherborne West West Dorset South West

Fantastic fish & chips. Best around by far.

Fabulous! Especially breakfasts. Jeanette, Steve & James are so welcoming.

Ideal place for a light lunch. Plenty of choice 👍🙂

The landlord today served me the most delicious coffee. The best coffee I have had this year. The pub was fantastic. Lovely decor and spotlessly clean. I look forward to visiting again soon.

Lovely cake's and great coffee worth a visit.

Good Second Hand Bookshops are becoming rarer than the books they sell. This one is a gem and worth a pilgrimage, take in a visit to the abbey as well! On the two occasions I visited shelves were stacked floor to ceiling, others were stacked on tables awaiting sorting. A great place to browse and discover an interesting book or two or more. This bookshop is mentioned in my 1992 93 copy of Drif's Guide to the Secondhand Bookshops of the British Isles. You can also take a break from book browsing and enjoy what the small cafe has to offer.

Home cooked cakes , extensive menu , nothing is too much trouble because the staff are so friendly. Well done I cannot recommend it enough

Best carvery I have ever had. The new landlady is amazing and the staff are lovely.

Good beer in a great classic pub
