The best restaurants serving Default food in North Dorset South West

Really dissapointed , food all pre cooked kept warm somewhere, poached eggs very hard, Avacado tasted strongly of lemon, food barely warm, tasteless waste of. Money . Not to the expected m&s standards won’t be visiting again 🥲

First time been to Stapleton for a few years. Three of us on business meeting. Really good meal and good service.

Really good quirky pub in Stourpaine. Excellent selection of dishes all cooked really well. Friendly staff and a great selection of drinks!

Great place let down by pidgeon poo even on outdoor tables scruffy place.

Great location but unfriendly staff who made us feel very unwelcome. Ordering a drink felt awkward and like too much trouble for the gentleman behind the bar. We visited last year with some friends and although the food was nice, we all noticed the same unfriendly atmosphere. It’s such a shame as it’s a wonderful location. Definitely wouldn’t recommend and will certainly not return.

Bad Uber experience and the restaurant closed without cancelling my order

Three of us booked for a special family Sunday lunch, after many years absence. Food was excellent (beef & pork mixed sunday roast), with lovely tasting pork, stuffing, spuds and parsnips just as we liked them. The pub is excellent with plenty of people (& one lovely elderly Jack Russell) popping in for drinks in the sunshine. Staff were all great, knowledgable & very friendly, bringing drinks & gravy to the table. To be honest I did not want to leave.

Stayed here for two nights with my mum and sister. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left the team were so friendly and accommodating. Their attention to detail is second to none. Room clean and comfortable, nice selection of tea, coffee, biscuits, with both fresh milk and water in a fridge. Courtesy toiletries. Breakfast choice was great and of good quality. We ate there on our second night and the meals were amazing. The pub itself is great. Full of quirky features. Busy with locals who were super friendly. Highly recommended

Lovely local pub with a warm welcome.

Food was good, hot and fresh! great flavours too. spot on 😁

No food but snacks great owners aloud ur dogs in there very friendly local pub watch sports etc clean amd tidy always.

Tip - if being delivered you need to pay on arrival by PayPal or cash. I had to set up a PayPal account just for this purpose, transfer monies to it and then I couldn’t get the app to work to pay the driver. Strongly recommend a different payment system with just a card reader or pay when you order. However we were very pleased with phone. Very generous portions. The special mixed meat rice was a full meal in itself! Large chunks of meat and vegetables on top. Good service and quick delivery.

Went here for Sunday lunch with friends. Lovely food and great service. Two areas of complaint; the vegetarian option cost the same as the meat option, honestly, there’s no way a extra portion of vegetables cost as much as a portion of meat; secondly, smokers smoking just outside the rear door (including two members of staff), every time the door was opened their smoke blew into where we were sitting. H&S law says they should be at least 5m from an opening door/window.

Absolutely dreadful. Raw, stinking chicken and a terrible attitude. Yuk yuk totally avoid its disgusting and they don’t care

Had a little trip out and some lunch here to celebrate my father’s birthday. When food came out looked impressive and nice. Unfortunately the beef ribs had very little meat on them and the meat was tough. Such a shame! Lovely venue staff were pleasant but in my opinion food could be greatly improved for price
