Great... knows what he's doing and does a great job. I've used James several times at home and at work, and I'm currently sorting out another job with him. Highly recommended!
Rating: 5 / 5
Efficient, resolved electrical issues in a timely fashion. Explained what needed to be done before starting the work and explained in depth what was done. Great work.
Rating: 5 / 5
James is a rare find. He's great at his job and he cares more about it being done well than you do. Cheerful, diligent, ever so reliable, really good at explaining and advising plus fair fees mean we always go to James.
Rating: 5 / 5
I was delighted with the quality of service provided. James helped connect a new electric towel heater and install an external socket at my home. Great job, very thorough and efficient. You wouldn’t have even known he was here afterwards - super clean and tidy. Would highly recommend and definitely use again for any electrical work!

James has done several jobs for our village hall. We are very happy with the standard and quality of James' work. He is reliable, tidy, knowledgeable and friendly. His charges are reasonable too - thoroughly recommended.

Lovely little place. Actually more space in there than you might think. Very nice & friendly staff. Didn't have to wait too long for service & food. Very tasty meals, & excellent sized portions at a very reasonable price. Will certainly visit them again next time I'm in Dorchester.

Had the best Greek salad outside of Greece and my husband had the best Dorset Ploughman's lunch. Really delicious and well-presented food in a small, friendly café. Generous portion sizes too. You can't see the huge chunk of cheddar in the pic as it was behind the huge hunk of wholemeal bread! Highly recommended.

Stopped for lunch at 'The Posh Partridge' when visiting Dorset on a combined business / leisure trip. It was a relaxed and pleasant place for lunch and both the service and the food was quality and nicely presented. The hot Pastrami sandwich I had was very tasty, as was the toasted Brie and Cranberry Panini. The cost for two toasted sandwiches and two diet cokes was £20.80
Rating: 5 / 5
A fantastic cafe, serving delicious, well priced food. We stopped for lunch and enjoyed sandwiches, soup of the day, and the crab bisque, followed by treacle and ginger tart and Bakewell tart. All of this was homemade and the portions were excellent. This cafe is not to be missed!

A lovely lunch, luckily we found this one for lunch, only looked for it as I noticed the Sign a bit further down the road. Really good food. It was lovely and quiet for us, but I guess on a busy day would be just as nice as the food is good so this is what matters. Thank you so much. We were passing through Dorchester a few days ago and will certainly visit again.

Rating: 4.8 (511) Price Level:
Lovely breakfast and initial service let down sadly when we asked for additional hot drinks to be told by the young man waiter it would take ages to make them so we didn’t bother. Been a while since we’ve been here and may be a while until we come back again after today sadly.

It's a nice clean cafe with a difference. It's full of motorbikes, but this doesn't stop a wide spectrum of people using it, from senior ladies having brunch to bikers all getting on well together, the service and food is great aswell. Fully enjoyed my stop there.
Rating: 5 / 5
Just a quick coffee stop to the new look Cafe...much more space now in the showroom space, so now can easily seat larger groups. Lots of different areas to be seated in..staff are very friendly and helpful and the food and drink are always great at very reasonable prices... always on my list of favourites for a ride, coffee or breakfast..👍

Lovely breakfast. I'm no food snob but you can tell quality ingredients in a fry-up. My photo might look a bit tomato heavy (yum) but I asked to swap out the mushrooms (yuk) which was no problem. Good service and very friendly staff. Lots of interesting bikes to look at too.
Rating: 4 / 5
Mixed experience at The Old Brewery. The service was very good, quick and friendly and the coffee was good although the large Americano seemed to be just a single shot with extra water rather than 2 shots (it wasn’t very strong). The Brewery breakfast tasted really good for something which came too quickly to have been cooked to order and unfortunately this was evident with the eggs in particular which looked like they had been sitting under heat lamps for a while. Overall the quality of the food was very good just a shame it wasn’t cooked to order.

We came here for breakfast for my mum's birthday and it did not disappoint! The ingredients are of the highest quality, everything was cooked perfectly and the coffee was great. We were a table of 7 adults and a highchair, and the service was incredibly friendly and professional. The outdoor tables with a view were a perfect way to finish our morning with a coffee and a cannoli. Thank you so much for your hospitality, we look forward to returning soon!

The Square Bistro Poundbury
The Square Bistro, 6 Challacombe Square, Poundbury, Dorchester DT1 3SX, UK | Restaurant P: 01305 549274
Rating: 4.9 (98) Price Level:
This can be recommended for its food, service and ambience. We went with two friends and we all enjoyed our starters, main courses and dessert. The wine was reasonably priced and pleasant. The serving staff were helpful and pleasant. The decor was good and there was a relaxed atmosphere. This is a real Poundbury asset- I hope, for many years to come!
Rating: 5 / 5
An absolutely brilliant restaurant offering a lovely range of delicious meals, with focus on local Dorset ingredients. The three course set menu is definitely worth the money, and I found each course to be very delicious! Even though this is described as a “bistro”, the dishes do come off as quite complex and the restaurant certainly offers fine dining. The drinks on offer were also very lovely, and the servers were helpful and friendly. Overall, our meal was an entirely positive experience and this restaurant is definitely worth a visit.
Rating: 5 / 5
We ate with friends and the food was exceptional. The service was “fine” but the inexperience of the young team came across as scripted and insincere. We’ve booked to go again at Christmas, it’s a great, intimate bistro with great food options.
Rating: 5 / 5
This is now my favourite restaurant and will be telling everyone I know to visit. Had a lovely Friday lunch here, the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. The staff are friendly and the food and drinks are wonderful. We had 3 courses and they were all well balanced and tasty with my favourite being the chocolate ale cake with caramel miso sauce and muscavodo ice cream. I would keep going back just for that dessert! My husband loved the cocktails including the Japanese sour cocktail which was just one example of the great and interesting selection of cocktails available. Definitely visit again as soon as we can.

Today my friend and I found this little gem of a Bistro by accident, and oh my the food was perfection! The food is all local produce and it was just beautiful tasting. We had come from Bournemouth and we will defo be coming back! Totally recommend this place!

Lewis carried out my job which was reapplying hall lights back on to walls and replacing face switches for new. He was very punctual, friendly and courteous. When completed the job he ensured everything was tidied and I was happy with the work he had done. I shall use this company again and I highly recommend them. They are value for money and workmanship is excellent.
Rating: 5 / 5
We would highly recommend and am more than satisfied with the services provided by LET Electrical & renewables. Right from the initial introduction to Lewis and his services he was very informative and he patiently listened and answered all questions. Lewis handled all paperwork and assisted with the finance application and kept us updated at every stage of the order and installation. On the day of the installation Lewis and his team were very efficient and patient with us and the dogs! and kept everywhere very tidy as they worked. On finishing took all rubbish and insured that we understood how the solar panels and batteries worked and set us up with the app to view the savings (Which becomes addictive).

I recently had electrical work done at my home by LET Electrical & Renewable and I am extremely pleased with the results. From the initial consultation to the completion of the job, their professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding. They explained everything clearly, ensuring I understood the work needed, and provided valuable recommendations on how to improve the safety and efficiency of my home’s electrical system. The team was punctual, worked efficiently, and left everything clean and tidy when they were finished. The quality of their work is exceptional, and I feel much more confident in the safety and reliability of my home's electrical setup. I highly recommend LET Electrical & Renewable to anyone looking for skilled, trustworthy electricians who deliver great service at a fair price. Great work Lewis.

Thank you to Lewis and his team for their admirable work installing my solar panels. I was kept updated at all times and Kieran and Marley worked long hours ensuring the work was done to a high spec and as speedily as possible. The scaffolders employed were also superb, A1. Everyone was super-polite and respectful. I'm looking forward to sorting out the final paperwork and going on grid with my mini supply! Would and will recommend LET Electrical & Renewables unreservedly to anyone.

Such delicious coffee!!! Gutted there isn't one closer to Bournemouth, I would visit alot!!! The chocolate tiffin and salted caramel brownie were divine too! Great choice of cakes and buns. The server was so friendly, I'm sorry I didn't catch her name, but she showed me her gorgeous dog tattoos!

Best coffee in Dorchester. There’s a reason why there are 3 of them in such a small town! Seating in this one feels a little cramped, especially in the colder months, hence the 4 stars for atmosphere. Baked treats are lovely. Much better than the chain coffee places in town. Support the indie places or they’ll be gone!
Rating: 5 / 5
Just really excellent coffee. They really know their beans. And the staff are friendly and the cakes are great too. I will be getting my coffee here a lot!

Great coffee, probably one of the best flat White's I have had in a long, long time. Good atmosphere and friendly service. Highly recommended if you want top quality coffee

Went on a recommendation, it says something when people queue outside for the place to open when the chain coffee shops are already open close by. Excellent espresso based coffee and delicious croissants served by a friendly batista. An easy recommendation.

A food stall at the end of the beach, about a 5min walk. Outdoor seating but sometimes not enough as it gets busy, beware of the gulls!! A great view out over the beach & water. We had a bit of wait because they were flat out. It provides breakfasts up to 11am but you can still buy baguettes. Usual hot n cold drink, & other food, not cheap but you’re paying for the location.
Rating: 5 / 5
Good food, great location just be aware of seagulls! I wasn't but when half my burger was eaten by one it was replaced free of charge which was very nice. :)
Rating: 5 / 5
Highly recommend! Wide variety of burgers, seafood, and bites, as well as beers and local ciders available. Beware their hot food service ends at 3pm but if you're a few minutes late they're really nice and can make select menu items. Loved the chicken burger here after finishing a long hike from Studland

Had a nice egg baguette and a coffee. Unfortunately a seagull got half of it! A warning would have been nice, but the gull enjoyed it eating it in front of me.

Fantastic service from Jason and his team. A top class clean for our solar panels (12) and the added benefit of an in depth test report on the entire system. I'd have no hesitation in recommending DES.
Rating: 5 / 5
Really pleased with the work carried out to install 2 x extractors and a PIV unit. The work was much more involved than first thought, and the poor guy was working in our loft on the hottest day of the year! But he returned a second day to finish up and the original price was honoured. A pleasure having you in our home and feeling the benefits of the extractors and PIV as soon as they were turned on!

We brought a house with 12 solar panels just over a month ago. We knew the panels were not serviced or cleaned since installed 10 years ago (2013) We reached out to DES Ltd who completed a full service and cleaning service. Not only was the job done to a high standard but the knowledge shared and showing us how the system worked has be valuable. Highly recommend and thank you. Regards Riad
