We had a wonderful day for our wedding and reception in September 2023. The venue, marquee, staff, food and service were amazing, they couldn't do enough for us. So many of our guests have commented on the lovely location and marvellous food. Thank you all for such a special day with a loud shout out for Michael who was brilliant!! We would not hesitate to recommend heart ♥️

We visited today, Sunday without a booking and were grateful to be seated next to the window in the main bar. The Sunday lunches were excellent; we had two.meals, beef and pork. The choice and portions of veg were excellent and the meats on both of our plates were succulent and tender. The front of house team was kept busy but were polite, attentive and efficient throughout. A most enjoyable visit, we will return in due course. We did return and we were delighted that our first visit wasn't a "one-off". The food and service were again excellent, we highly recommend the Coppleridge Inn.

We had a family Sunday roast here the weekend before last. The staff were perfect! Attentive but not too much, the food was lovely by far the best roast we have had put in a long time and we eat out most Sundays.

Great place always worth a visit when in the area. Couldn't ask for a better place to have some lunch or just a nice cold cider. Keep up the good work.

Had a stop here on a visit to Weymouth. Have to say the food was lovely - better than some of the more expensive places I've been to recently. Fantastic views of the beach, as well. Good honest food, reasonably priced. Give it a go!

It is difficult to compare a beach side café with others, but they work very hard indeed in the holiday months, and deserve plenty of praise.

Went in for food at the bar, and we really enjoyed it!!! The food was simple but delicious and we will 100% be going back. The waitress was also very knowledgeable with information regarding what could be eaten by a celiac in our group. It also had an amazing country pub feel that felt so welcoming and cozy x ❤️

Our first time visit to Shaftesbury and the Grosvenor Arms hotel. Very impressed with both – for the same reasons …... relaxed, welcoming and informal. In the hotel specifically it seemed that the staff were always wanting to “go the extra mile” to make sure we felt at home. The furnishings – and the bedrooms – are all comfortable, well chosen and empathetic to the age of the building. The only meals we had were breakfasts – and these were excellent. Our one concern before arrival – its location right in the centre of a potentially-noisy town – was completely unnecessary. We had a room overlooking the street and it was sufficiently quiet for us to have the window open at night. So, thank you Grosvenor Arms – and Shaftesbury! A great visit.

We discovered and have subsequently been to BAKE three times in the last two weeks. From the get-go, we liked the place. The staff are always polite, professional and very friendly. Moreover, it is a very clean and well-furnished establishment - and we absolutely love the coffee (we are addicted to their flat whites). BAKE is also dog-friendly. Indeed, our pup is given a bowl of water and some complimentary dog biscuits during each visit (see photos). As such, BAKE has become our new local coffee shop. Highly recommended.

Great little cafe with outdoor seating. Recommend the selection on panini’s- especially the tuna melt! It’s was delicious, also comes with some crisps and side salad for £6.50. The coffee was also lovely! Parking available on the road outside. Staff were very helpful and friendly

Popped in this morning for the first time, mid-way on my bike ride. The lady that served me was new on the till but was very pleasant, friendly and helpful. A lovely coffee and cake (coffee and walnut) was had sat outside. As an unexpected bonus the owner came out to me and produced the last piece of cake in a takeaway carton saying it was too small to sell so would I like to take it with me! Thank you for great service, I'll be back again 100%

The menu is a little on the pricey side and could do with some more light bite choices for those just wanting a small lunch. However the food quality was excellent as was the service. Great that they allow dogs, next time we will take ours.

Stopped off with two small kids for a break. Pleasantly surprised with how nice it is. Great little museum for kids to stretch legs, excellent service and facilities. Food is quite expensive although kids menu is very reasonable but didn’t try it so can’t comment. Good for a rainy day pit stop, right next to the A303. Good gift shop.

The Udder Farm Shop

Manor Farm, Front St, East Stour, Gillingham SP8 5LQ, UK | Food Store
P: 01747 838899

Rating: 4.4 (1568) Price Level:

Great farm shop and very good restaurant, but has gotten incredibly busy. The farm shop is excellent, with a great butcher's counter and great selection of fruit & veg, as well as lots of posh nibbles. The restaurant is very reliable, decent food and good service. The only downside is that, with the large additional seating area they added to the restaurant, the whole place can get very busy. On a Saturday lunchtime we were lucky to snag the very last parking spot left in both the main and the *overflow* car parks.

A huge, varied menu with very tasty, generous portions of food in a nice setting. A bit too easy to spend quite a lot of money! Great location with children when the weather is ok as there's a big field with football goals and some play equipment.

I could have spent endless hours pouring over everything in the shop. It’s a beauty to behold in the eyes of an American. There are assortments of wonderful pastries, cakes, cookies and breads. All types of condiments and sauces. An extensive meat counter with varieties of meat and fish (I regret to say my sausage and bacon from there were immediately seized upon my return to the US). Of course there are cheeses, spreads, pate and a great frozen section of many items including ready meals. The staff was friendly and the items I was able to enjoy (like the smoked trout terrine and a steak & kidney pie) were absolutely amazing

A huge thank you to Jude for all her care and attention to detail in putting together our order of 15 Christmas Hampers as gifts for our staff. Top quality products, beautifully displayed. Very grateful. Hope to be back next year.

Great experience as a place, but also in the restaurant and in the store I would like to find things of very good quality, not just the basic one. The bread for breakfast can be one from a local bakery not a frozen baguette or the store could also sell organic milk in cartons not in plastic bottle or a yogurt in a jar not just plastic buckets...etc. Overall it was good with skilled and kind staff.

Had the fish and chips with mushy peas. This for us is the best fish and chips in Weymouth for your money. The batter is always cooked perfectly, lovely and crispy. A great portion of chips and nice sized pot of mushy peas. Restaurant looks perfectly out over the sea at Bowleaze cove. There is always outside seating under cover and also a decked area.

Set in its own grounds, very pretty building. Is a little old fashioned, but is very quaint. The staff are amazingly friendly and helpful. The breakfast is everything you could hope for, cereal, fruit, yogurt and then a cooked breakfast with roles or coffee.
