Although it has been taken over by a franchise, the new staff are so nice. Food is good, price not changed much from the last owners. All good so far.

Great man gave us extra chips and samples I recommend this amazing fish and chip shop to everyone 💗😁😁😁😁

Friendly staff when we walked in especially Zena 😊 bright and clean ordered our food and given some chips to nibble on while we waited cash only which is refreshing and the food was very good and generous portions
Rating: 5 / 5
The new owners are lovely and the quality of the food has improved massively since they took over. I had haddock last week which was the best haddock I'd had for a very long time and the pineapple fritters are to die for. The chips are really very good too and while you wait they give you a few chips to keep you going. I would say it's possibly the best chippy in the area now.

We ordered for delivery tonight for the first time (02/11/24) firstly we placed our order by phone my wife spoke to a really polite and helpful gentleman and the food was delivered in good time and was absolutely delicious ! This could be a new favourite for us. We had chicken Shawarma with rice and bread and chips on the side. I should have ordered the tzatziki to go with it but there’s always next time. Well done guys

This popup restaurant serves good food at a reasonable price: only open Friday and Saturday evening. It's run by just two people so don't expect perfect service, you will need to be patient, but it's worth it. The church hall is not the ideal ambience but I guess it keeps the costs to be kept down. If you want to try Syrian cuisine at home why not use the take out service. For the price it's good. Only soft drinks served in cans.

Myself and friends have eaten in, attended events and ordered home deliveries from Kabab Syrian Cuisine and the food is divine. I could eat their muhammara every day it's so delicious! Having lived in the Middle East, it is some of the finest food from the region I have tasted! The friendly, accommodating service only enhances the flavours as it is cooked with such care and the music played in the restaurant makes a visit a wonderful experience. Shukran and we will be ordering again soon!!

Ordered takeout as a birthday meal for six people to eat at home. As someone who has never eaten Syrian cuisine and often has a hard time with food I am unfamiliar with I was anxious to try but everything was so delicious I needn’t have worried. I asked for a couple of changes to my order and the person serving us was extremely helpful and understanding and didn’t make me feel silly for asking loads of questions and making changes. He also helped me to decide what to eat by showing me photos of previously cooked dishes on his phone of what each dish looks like. He then labelled my box so that we knew which one was mine. I can confirm that all of this food is cooked from scratch as the kitchen was in plain view of where we were sat waiting and we could see it being made and raw ingredients being taken out of boxes etc. The shawarma was seasoned really well, heavy in flavour but not too spicy (I am quite sensitive to spice and could really appreciate the way this was made). The garlic bread was nice, prepared in house and cut into adorable little heart shapes. Chips were also good and they were happy to provide some sachets of ketchup for me even though I would imagine it’s not a common condiment in Syrian culture. We also got a few dishes to share between the group, including one of each of the desserts which were both absolutely gorgeous. While we were waiting I put my phone on charge as it was on 2%, I then forgot it when we left and didn’t realise until we had gotten home. I called the number attached to this listing and they said I could come back and get it, staying open later especially for me to go and pick it up. Super sweet of them and I’m really grateful they were so kind as to wait for me. Payment is cash only but there was an atm just down the road so we went and got some money out while they cooked our food and there were no issues with this. I would assume this is a very small operation run by a local family, they were very sweet and happy to help with anything we needed. It was nice to know we were supporting a local vendor. I would highly recommend Gillingham Syrian Cuisine and will no doubt be ordering from them again. Thank you!

We had a great meal yesterday evening. The owner and his wife were very friendly. The food was excellent (and also so nicely presented). Very good quality, good portions and reasonably priced. Highly recommend the tabbouleh, hummus and halawa.

Visited with friends today for a Sunday lunch. A very pleasant experience. Reception dealt efficiently with the booking and queries before the day. The room was comfortable, the decor was contemporary and the service good. There was a slight delay between bringing the main course and the vegetables arriving, but the food was excellent and the plates were hot. We will definitely return and wish we had found you earlier.

This hotel is absolutely stunning! The pictures do not do it justice. The hotel is charming, beautiful, unique, vintage and quirky. There is lots to see around the hotel and it was beautifully decorated for Christmas. We booked for the festive getaway deal which was an amazing price for all it included, we upgraded our room prior to arriving and on arrival got told we were upgraded again for free which was a wonderful surprise. Our room was absolutely beautiful! The hotel was very peaceful and the food and drinks were delicious. Our room and the hotel was very clean. We absolutely love the friendly, cute hotel cat Neptune!! Breakfast didn't come with all items included on the menu (we didn't get any potatoes, mushrooms or tomatoes like stated) they also hadn't had their delivery of bacon so breakfast seemed a little chaotic, but other than that everything was perfect, staff were friendly and attentive and we absolutely cannot wait to come back and stay here again! I highly recommend this hotel, really beautiful and peaceful and great value for money.

We booked the private dining room for a Reunion. So impressed. Great food, lovely public rooms, impeccable friendly service. And very reasonable price.
Rating: 5 / 5
We had a lovely one night stay at this independent hotel. The hotel is very quirky and really well thought out with lovely touches all around. I took my 2 children and they loved playing in the big garden and our room was very spacious with a huge bed and double sofa bed. The bar is really cosy and the food at dinner and breakfast was really lovely. All the staff were very welcoming and the resident cat was a huge hit with my daughters. The location was perfect for us, just a 5 minute drive to Sherborne but in a quiet village location. Would definitely recommend this hotel and would love to stay again.

This place is located at the top of Gold Hill with beautiful views over the valley. It was a beautiful day so we sat on the benches outside to soak in the beautiful views. The staff were friendly and the service was quick. The menu had plenty of of options and the food was really tasty. If you’re a tourist looking for the feel of England, then definitely come here!

Brilliant food, lovely staff. We are lucky enough to be local and hired all the rooms for family and friends at our wedding. All were happy and loved the food!
Rating: 5 / 5
Excellent lunch with different options and not your usual choices either. They do a set menu with 2 or 3 courses as an option. I chose off the normal menu and had aubergine stuffed with a side of fries very good portion and very flavoursome. The other person did the same and had a fishcake, which was much enjoyed. We shared a pudding of poached figs, which again was delicious. Would recommend it and I will return

We went to this soft play for our little girl birthday it is a very nice and a great place to entertain the kids highly recommend and everything is very reasonably priced will return again
Rating: 4 / 5
Every visit we have has been fantastic. It's our favourite place to go and let our son and his friends burn some energy. It stands out from the rest of the soft plays etc (which none of us are fans of). Honestly couldn't find fault, until today. Booked a few spaces for my son and his friends as it's his birthday, planned on getting them all lunch. Very disappointed that they've stopped serving food (and alcohol!). There's absolutely NO warning on social media, the website, booking pages or email confirmations that they're not serving food. I checked, my husband checked, my friend checked - we can't see anything. Had I known that, I wouldn't have booked, or at least brought packed lunches for the kids to have when they got home, if I'd have known after I'd booked it. I was on the verge of tears but kept being reassured by the children's parents that it was fine and not to worry. We won't stop coming here, but they really need to put something up about not serving food anymore.

I recently had to have my fuse box moved from up in the eaves to downstairs for safety and easier access. The lovely gents from Wessex Electrical came to do it. They were great. They kept me informed all the time, they were very polite and respectful of my home. Cleaned up any mess and basically did a fantastic job. It wasn't easy to move but they did it without complaining. Would definitely recommend Wessex Electricals, no job is too big or too small.

Job was done brilliantly, engineer showed up on time on the scheduled day, explained patiently what is going to be done and how long will it take. Very professional and polite, wonderful man! He took into consideration that english is not my first language and he made sure i understand him. We are very happy with the results. I'm very grateful for the preciseness of the job. Engineer left our property cleaned and ready to use, honestly we haven't seen such good work ethic from a very long time.

We had our choir Christmas lunch at The Dolphin today and it was amazing! The food was superb (as always), the service was excellent, and our wonderful hosts Julie and Andy looked after our every need. This was the second year our group ( there were 17 of us today) have chosen The Dolphin for our Christmas lunch and I can’t imagine that anywhere else could better our experience today.
