The best restaurants serving Default food in North Dorset South West

Nice place to stay when I went to Sturminster Newton United Football Club

Always good popping in for my usual. Staff are fab and friendly. Great place to meet up with friends and family.

We popped in for a coffee while we were visiting this lovely town. We would normally visit a local coffee shop rather than a big chain but we had some gift vouchers to use so visited this Costa. Surprisingly it felt like a little local cafe rather than the major chain that it is and the coffee was lovely. It was quite busy and the people all seemed local and to know each other so it had a really nice cosy feel to it. The member of staff in the shop was a really friendly guy and was on his own while we were there but he managed everything really well, serving and clearing tables very efficiently. It was clean and tidy, and very friendly x

Lovely lunch, jack conviced us to try the new carbonara which was amazing, lovely staff and food is always great. Really good portion sizes 😃

Super nice fish, very fresh and delicious. Quick and easy to order and pick up with a very vide variety. Annoyingly when I went they weren’t selling any drinks which was a bit disappointing but the food made up for the drinks.

£13.95 for a large breakfast, doesn’t even come with black pudding or toast as that’s extra, £1.75 for a slice of black pudding, £1.50 for a slice of toast, seriously a loaf bread is £2 max for a top brand loaf, save your money and go elsewhere. £9.95 for a club sandwich. A sandwich! Noticed the children’s menu, £4 pretty much £5-£6. Doesn’t even include a drink in the price, not even a cheap glass of squash. It’s a cafe in a local “supermarket” not 4* restaurant.

Absolutely amazing service around the lake and in the cafe nothing is to much trouble the ladies that work in there are so helpful and a good laugh the food is amazing breakfast and dinner. And it’s always good to have beer delivered to your swim 😉

Staff were great, pool is nice, the room was dated and very warm too. The bathroom was on a downward slope. We had dinner that wasn't great. Breakfast was OK. Wouldn't stay agon

Cool place, wonderful staff and hospitality, beautiful pub and rooms. Really enjoyed the stay. Will definitely come back.

Fantastic pub. So welcoming, all the staff are first class, smiles and personality all round. Super dog friendly. Fabulous food, awesome service in super comfortable surroundings. I went twice in a week for fun cosy suppers.

I visited The Fiddleford Inn twice in the same week, which is unusual. The first was with family, and the second was with my husband. On both occasions the food was excellent. The pork belly was amazing and my Mediterranean Tart was really nice. The children's meals were excellent. They really enjoyed their food. When I came on Good Friday our meals were just as excellent. The burger was great and so was my fish and chips.

Friendly welcome shown to the table not enough chairs or place settings for booking! Ordered food waitress didn't know the difference between pork or beef asked for horseradish half way through my dinner before it arrived after asking again! food was good but service not so plus the skittle alley was cold and unwelcoming

Although everyone else’s food was fab , as the only vegan I was very disappointed. I chose the vegan burger with chips and salad which were both lovely , but ….the burger ? Dry , tasteless , nothing else except the burger itself in a white pappy bun. Would’ve been much better with some fried mushrooms or onions or relish . Tasted like a cheap frozen veggie burger , and nothing else ! Not good at all ! Need to up their game !

Takeaway used ordered and collected in person. Not sure what’s happened as I have had good meals from here before, however both curries were tasteless. Naan bread ok. Not cheap £25! I wasn’t sure about the state of the building either quite a bit of repair needed, including a bucket on the floor for leaks! Staff friendly. Not recommended.

Very cold sat in coats no fire on heating not on my husband went to toilet radiator turned down to 1 waited about 30 mins for meal choose beetroot wellington was a flat bit of pastry filled with tomatoe a few strips of beetroot and a plate of potatoes and a couple of carrots not taste wellington looked like something that had been sitting in a hot cabinet for a few hours
