I can't thank the team at Breezy Ridge enough for all their efforts to make a Maid of Honour proposal go smoothly! Becky's communications were fab prior to the evening and everyone was on board to make sure the dinner went ahead without a hitch. The food is fantastic and the place is a real asset to the local area, there aren't many places like this around without having to travel quite far out. The team are super friendly and the atmosphere in the restaurant is gorgeous, beautifully decorated and wonderfully intimate. I can't wait to come back!

We really enjoyed a private 'Sip & See' party at Breezy Ridge for a few hours in the afternoon. Lovely spacious venue which catered for our needs - tea/coffee/Prosecco/cake. Lots of parking and friendly and helpful staff. Thank you!

I am moving to the area and had an emergency of a fractured tooth. The surgery were super helpful and made an appointment for the same day. The dentist took the time to explain everything to me, made me feel incredibly comfortable and I really felt like they had my best interests in mind. I am looking forward to this being my new surgery, and you absolutely recommend to all

DR.Paulina kiedrowska has been my dentist for around 15 years and I can confidently say she is one of the best dentists I’ve ever visited. Her professionalism and expertise are evident in every appointment. She takes the time to explain each procedure thoroughly and never makes you feel rushed. Dr. Kiedrowska is very patient and attentive, ensuring her patients are comfortable and at ease. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and skilled dentist!” Thank you very much

First impression was a really friendly greeting by the receptionist who saw to me really quickly. My treatment could have been explained to me on check in as I forgot what I was coming for. Maybe my fault but to offer a subtle reminder would be a good touch. I’m a private user so I can only compare to other private dentistry. What I can say is that I have never been over sold any treatment. Mr Lockyer is extremely fair and 💯 honest. Totes magotes recommend this practice 👌🏻

Very quick and easy to deal with. I had a filling put in 2 months ago and it came out. Phoned up Alder Road the booked me in the next week and replaced the filling with no charge to me. Great service and v professional.

We had been here once before many years ago and enjoyed it, and more recently we have been to the sister establishment almost next door, The Cork and Lobster - which is always good. For no real reason we thought why not try Roots again. It is small but we managed to get a table and decided on the smaller of the set menus, which really was enough for us. Delightful and well thought out tastes, with presentation that is not too over-the-top. They carefully changed items to cater for the fact I don't eat pork or drink alcohol. There is a wine flight available alongside the meal but they were just as happy to give recommendations as needed. All the waiters were delightful, informative, and experienced which made the meal that much better and they are a credit to the place. The place remains a highpoint of local food-focused places, and next time, I won't leave it as long!

Had a wonderful lunch at Roots. We have been before, but many years ago. The food, drinks and service are all still top quality. Culinary delights that will entice the senses and tantalise the tastebuds. A very inventive chef who works hard to create wonderful menus. Thank you to all the team for an amazing lunch. We will be back.

Absolutely incredible food, the waiter was outstanding and made the evening, great wine choices with the dishes we had a great night and will come again

Rating: 5 / 5

I would give this restaurant 6 stars if I could. The most wonderful experience all round - faultless service, food, drinks and atmosphere. I would highly recommend Roots to anyone looking for a wonderful meal out. This place is special enough to feel like a once in a while treat/occasion, but welcoming enough to feel like you’re going to your local neighbourhood restaurant. Perfection all round. Thanks so much, we can’t wait to come back!!!

I was fortunate to find this practice after my previous dentist retired. They are welcoming and friendly from the start. Their communication is excellent making use of x-rays and pictures to explain what's required and what the options are. I always feel comfortable in the hands of this very skilful team.

Corina has been looking after my teeth for several years and I have always been impressed with her friendly attitude and professionalism. I also like the way she seeks to pre-empt issues by identifying potential problems before they escalate. I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending this practice.

I am a terrible patient,absolutely terrified and have many crowns and fillings. I have been a patient here for about thirty years! But Corina and Aneta have been so kind to me. In January during a check up Corina found nodules in my neck.Corina referred me to Dorchester hospital and it was found that I had Thyroid cancer, I think Corina may have saved my life and I am eternally thankful. Please do not put off having check ups. Thankyou Corina and Aneta.

I so appreciate Carina’s expertise and her awareness of my sensitivity to pain - Carina and Aneta’s gentleness and care are exceptional. The Practice is so clean and comfortable and I really appreciate the fresh flowers. I cannot recommend the Bere Regis Dental Practice highly enough. Thank you, Carina and Aneta!

Thanks Mike for the excellent upgrade of my light switches - from standard white ones to nice metal ones. And the neat installation of new outdoor lights and a power point for the garden. I really appreciate your advice and work!

Rating: 5 / 5

I can highly recommend Mike to anyone, he fitted me in at short notice and replaced a bathroom light and a kitchen switch very quickly making it very neat and tidy and modern and is extremely pleasant and efficient! I am very pleased, thank you, I will certainly be in touch when I need any electrical work again

Our experience with M J Bird Electrical was brilliant. We wanted plugs fitted in our loft and Mike came round to quote and then back to fit the plugs in the space of a couple of weeks. They did a great job, quick, tidy and even filled the wall where they'd added the new cable. They also went above and beyond as we had some carpet delivered on the day and they really kindly helped get it up into the loft. We're very grateful and would wholeheartedly recommend.

First class service. Just refurbed a 2 bed apartment in Westbourne and Mike helped with updating the dated electrics. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone wanting any electric improvements.

I contacted Green Light for a quote for Solar PV Panel installation at the end of March 2023, getting their name from the MCS website and being local to the area. Nick contacted me by phone for an initial phone chat and very quickly produced an initial draft proposal. We arranged a visit to our house to discuss it further and firm up proposals. Nick was punctual and very informative and very keen on Solar. All our questions were answered, he did a thorough site survey and I said we were getting other quotes, which he was supportive of. He then supplied a firm quote which included a consumer (fuse box) unit replacement at the same time. Whilst I was waiting for other quotes Nick was quick to answer any follow up questions we had. The quote from the company was competitive with others and at the beginning of April we accepted the quote and booked a date for installation in May. The deposit could be paid by bank transfer or credit card to give the extra protection under section 75. The Monday agreed on in May arrived and Arthur and colleague arrived to start work, scaffolding had been put up the week before. We discussed a change of location of the inverter and battery if possible and that was incorporated so both were fitted downstairs instead of in the loft. They both worked tirelessly throughout the week, arriving about 0800hrs and not leaving until 1630hrs and seemed to work through any tea and lunch breaks. The work was completed with little mess and what there was was all cleaned up by end of the day. We were expecting more visible wiring trunking, inside and outside but they managed to use the wall cavity to run the wiring from the panels to the consumer unit/inverter so the little visible trunking is all extremely neat and contained around the inverter and battery. The consumer unit change replaced 2 old fuse units and looks so much neater. Whilst the wiring was being changed Arthur wired in sockets so we weren't left totally without electric for the day it took for the unit to be replaced, a nice touch really. On Fri afternoon the work was completed, the Solar panels producing electricity, work area left clean and tidy. A minor issue with battery connectivity was soon resolved the next working day. All in all I would recommend Nick and his company for their obvious commitment to providing a quality service, who are professional, want to do a professional job, arrive on time and work extremely hard to complete a job on time and to a very high standard. A job well done that we are very satisfied with. Nick and his team are to be commended.

The initial problem of a faulty circuit was attended to promptly and corrected. This did identify that some switch gear and circuit breakers were in poor condition and being now out-of-date, could not be repaired. As a second job, these were replaced the following day with modern equipment. Everything was done promptly and with good humour.

I contacted the company for an electric gate. Nick the boss came out and suggested a bespoke semi circular gate to match the existing fence. In addition the gate had to rise as the ground was not level. The work was recently completed after some angst and head scratching as it was far from easy. There were a few obstacles to overcome and times I thought it impossible. To everyone's credit they persevered and throughout Nick kept reassuring me that the gate would be finished as per the original design and that I would be satisfied. Well I am satisfied as I believe they have done a great job. The team of young men are a credit to the company. They were all polite professional workers. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

Fantastic experience from start to finish. From the first site visit and technical specification/style-design decisions right through to installation and testing, there isn't a single aspect of the process or indeed team member I could fault. Apart from how helpful, experienced/knowledgeable and accessible everyone is what I appreciated most in working with GL was how transparent they were and how I was kept informed of every step of the process. Thrilled with the result and would highly recommend!

I had an issue with my electric sockets in my house which happened over night and I was having an issue to find the cause/source for the problem. After long day at work it was challenge to get some one to come around to fix. I "googled" found this SES LTD. When called spoken to Jonathan who patiently listened to my story and explanation of events and what I tried so far. He kindly gave me some further guidance and advice what else to try and after 2 more calls over the next 20 min we found the cause. Jonathan does not know me and I didn't know him, however he treated me like he is just a friend who would happily to help out when needed. He didn't even ask for money. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I had an electrical outage. My Internet, fridge, and all appliances were out. I called for the emergency call out service and the electrician offered to help me. I sent him a photo of my mains and he was able to walk me through the issue over the phone. Great service, would definitely recommend.

Had an issue with my downstairs electrical sockets, called Jonathan who talked me through how to fix. Superb service, really helpful and will be using his services again for further work. Thanks for your help :-)

This service has been run by Jonathan for 37 years now! He is courteous, helpful, and proficient. And If you call him he will endeavour to talk through with you any issues you may have, which could well save you money!! I wouldn't have any hesitation in recommending Southern Electrics!!

We had a thoroughly enjoyable and delicious dining experience at the Clockspire Restaurant this evening. Food was excellent along with the service. The old school building has been beautifully restored and creates a delightful surrounding and atmosphere, complimenting the whole experience. This has just become my favorite restaurant. We shall return.
