Lovely friendly space to eat and drink. Sadly the Buddha Bowl was so full of spicy fermented vegetables that it made it hard to enjoy. Too many different textures and tastes competing with each other. At £14 for a medium bowl it was also a little over priced I feel.

We came with friends as we had all been gifted afternoon tea, and chose to visit this tearoom. We booked just over a week in advance. What a great choice! A great selection of beautifully fresh finger sandwiches, scones, cream and jam. and a selection of small cakes, which were so light. Absolutely scrumptious. We weren't rushed, so we could sit and enjoy our food. The folk working in the tearoom were very welcoming and we had a delightful afternoon. Thank you!

My family eat here regularly because it’s so good. The pub itself is attractive with interesting features. We’ve never eaten a meal here that we’ve not all enjoyed & the service is excellent with friendly & attentive staff. We recently went there for their carvery, I don’t eat meat so the chef cooked vegetarian sausages to go with the vegetables. The choice of vegetables was excellent with probably the best roast potatoes ever had anywhere!

We stayed for weekend with another couple and had the best time, food was excellent and the staff/owner very attentive. Lovely room and great company. Food was hot and very tasty and the cooked breakfast was amazing too. All in all fabulous weekend thank you.

We really enjoyed our last visit to Cerne Abbas back in 2021 and remembered visiting the Giant Inn - so it was so lovely to come back once again here (on our annual break in Purbeck) for pre-walk drinks. We arrived not long after the pub had opened & had a lovely friendly welcome - we decided to sit outside in the rear garden, & it was so nice to see the sun breaking through as we enjoyed our drinks. As with the whole village, this is a very historic building with lots of history, & I'm sure the 'giant' of Cerne Abbas would choose this as his watering hole if he could come down from that hill! We really enjoyed our visit which set us up for the day & put a spring in our step for our hike around the beautiful countryside surrounding the village. Thanks for making our visit so pleasurable!
