The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in North Dorset South West

Excellent service and very good food and drink served at table by very friendly and efficient staff would recommend to everyone

We went as 2 couples meeting for Sunday lunch after a local walk. The Ibberton is a great place for a drink by the fire and Sunday lunch. Roast pork, loads of well cooked and presented vegetables followed by home made puddings were all excellent. Good value and perfect service.

Soup was awful, tasteless, not even a trace of leek and potato as described. Waste of money , dreadful. It was hot flour and water , like bechamel sauce only thinner.

Very friendly and efficient service - had the most delicious lunch - the macaroni cheese was amazing - and the portions are very generous. Would highly recommend this lovely pub if you are in Sturminster Newton.

DO NOT BOTHER!!!! 1.5 hour wait for a bacon sandwich is enough to test anybody’s patience. Refunded, walked out and had to change entire days plans. They were still taking orders at this point. Absolute joke Avoid Avoid avoid!!!

What a find just by chance popped in on a Sunday lunch time to find plenty of tables that were filling up fast we decided the Sunday carvery was a great idea the staff are all so friendly and happy to help what can i say about the food well the quality was amazing all cooked beautifully I would recommend this place to everyone

We held our daughters baby shower for 25 people here at the weekend, Alex put on a superb buffet and drinks (non and alcoholic). So helpful in letting us set up the room beforehand with a balloon arch and arranging a few tables. Everyone commented on what a lovely venue and how nice and friendly the staff were looking after us all afternoon. Alex and his teams award winning cocktails are a must to try,

We popped in today as our usual cafe was closed! I can see now why we don't visit the black cactus. This isn't the first time, but the two members of staff, who weren't busy dealing with lots of customers, weren't the most friendliest unfortunately. I completely understand they were writing the memo board and sorting that out, but I don't understand why they cheerfully couldn't have explained they would be with us in a minute. There were no happy faces etc. Then the flap Jack's we had weren't the best, but you win some and lose some. When it came to leaving, it was like we weren't even there. No goodbye, thanks for coming, nothing, and to reiterate, they were not busy serving customers. I'm sure many people have had great service there, but unfortunately we have not. So we won't be returning.... Shame!

Had cream tea here there was nobody in the cafe but the lady sat us in the garden and we were the only ones lovely cream tea and nothing to much trouble definitely recommend

Another great visit to Hart’s, both for shopping and lunch! Good parking, a lift to the cafe upstairs and a lovely lunch. The food always tastes good quality but the plated food presentation is not professional. Just a small point but important when prices are rising steadily.

Used to be good - see previous reviews - but now seems to be permanently closed. And it's NOT in Gillingham - it's in South Street, Dorchester (perhaps the DT1 postcode gives that away!). Pity that TA can't be more accurate - this could be misleading.

Found this little gem thanks to a friendly local we got chatting to when visiting the area. The pub looks gorgeous from the outside but even better when you see the rear garden, so looked after and pretty with lots of places to sit and enjoy the view and peace and quiet, a bonus was the sunshine. Food was scrumptious, lovely upmarket selection (way above standard pub food) at very reasonable prices and we also enjoyed fabulous homemade desserts. Staff were fantastic, very patient and attentive enough not to be interrupting a birthday lunch for my Grandad, this was to celebrate his 96th birthday and he's asked to return next year! Will definitely visit again, just wished I lived a little closer

Yesterday, Mum, sister and I visited Lo's for Mothering Sunday and I had a truly wonderful special afternoon tea at Lo's in Pimperne. Prosecco, abundance of finger sandwiches, cakes and clotted cream/ jam scones, tea/coffee. They even gave each of us Mums a posy of tulips and daffodils! Highly recommend for a dog walk and coffee/lunch/afternoon tea sometime 😋

AMAZING place! Went here without any knowledge of what it was like. Basically a small museum of motorcycling exotica. PERFECT brunch/coffee stop for (well-behaved) bikers, cyclists or anyone else with an interest in an unusual food/drink stop, with plenty to look at while awaiting their orders. Oh, and the breakfast food was EXCELLENT! Tasty, hot and very well presented. Can't recommend it more highly. Suspect this place is going to become a top favourite bikers meet very soon!!

Lovely place, this is becoming our yearly pit stop for lunch on our travels.. food was great.
