The pub is located on the main road with plenty of parking spaces nearby. We went to have dinner to celebrate my birthday and we were pleased with our choice. They've prepared a birthday card on the table for me. The food was delicious , we can definitely recommend the burgers and the sweet potato fries. Excellent choice in Yeovil!

I visited for a Sunday carvery with my family and from the moment we stepped through the front door everything was spot on. The service is impeccable and the food superb. What made the service extra special was that my mother was sadly unable to be there at the last minute, however the Pen Mill staff were amazing and arranged a takeway caevery meal plated up even with a pot of gravy. We took it back home and my mother was extremely grateful. A brilliant piece of customer service which was the cherry on an already delicious cake. Well done to everyone.

Great food! Gluten free options avaliable, including delicious cakes! I tried the lemon cake and it has to be one of the best cakes I ever had!
Rating: 5 / 5
A wonderful charming and welcoming entrance to the beautiful Compton Acres Gardens. The café and tea rooms are cute, open and casual eat in bakery that serves hot and cold food. Selection of dishes are simple such as soups, fish and chips, quiche and salad and sandwiches. They have an enormous selection of cakes and drinks. They also sell made to order cakes from the selection they sell and extremely reasonable prices. We ordered a signature caramel & raspberry 9" cake for £35 with custom message on. Lovely for impromptu treat.

I just love the tranquility of this place. In the heart of a big tourist focus town, Compton Acres provides a surprisingly peaceful opportunity to relax and wander around beautiful and perfectly maintained gardens. Woodlands areas, a formal Italian garden, Japanese garden and well laid out ponds / streams all make this a great afternoon out. Very recommended.
Rating: 5 / 5
I always thought of this place as mainly for coach trips and weddings... totally wrong! There's so much here! Hard to know where to start. Gardens are 10 acres separately themed. Winding paths take you through the valley, densely planted with a fantastic variety of species it's a joy. Despite being Feb there was plenty to see. The formal areas are truly stunning. Kids will love the tunnels, bridges and stepping stones. Plus there's a whole play area in the woods. Views from the top of the gardens are incredible. Interesting sculptures everywhere, great fun trying to spot them all. One visit is not enough to take it all in. They also have a huge shopping space. Local things, plants, kids toys, gifts and an Italian deli. Could have spent hours browsing. Cafe was clean with lots of lunch options. Plenty of seats inside and out. Staff were the absolute best. Kind and welcoming. Can't wait to go back in the summer!

Blackmarsh Farm Café
Blackmarsh Farm, Dodd's Cross, Sherborne DT9 4JX, UK | Cafe P: 01935 815040
Rating: 4.6 (177) Price Level:
I love this little place that has a larger personality especially around the holidays, nice food, nice helpful staff, and full of friendlyness. It gets bigger and louder during the holidays and summer months when it opens the play area and the maize maze. Lovely for families and children. I have to say it pleases my heart to see this place set up for children's outside play, they certainly keep you on your toes, even when you are not part of that group or party, it has a little downside life everywhere when is busy hearing can be an issue even when sat face to face, so if you're expecting a wee cuppa or coffee or lunch in peace or relative quite here, you honestly won't know until you get there. It's just lovely hearing the children and youths being a play outside and not attached to their phones or computers.
Rating: 5 / 5
Good location on the edge of Sherborne to let the kids run and play while you sit comfortably in the old farm yard with a cake and coffee or maybe a light lunch.
Rating: 5 / 5
An amazing maize, maze one of the best around. What a pity it's the final maze this year. A wonderful attraction for all the family with all the usual facilities including a superb little cafe. Play area for younger children and very reasonably priced. Staff extremely friendly and helpful adding to the experience. The maze is open all summer until early September so get in there quickly for a brilliant day out!
Rating: 5 / 5
Went with my sister ( a local ) and daughter and granddaughter. Food was really lovely. Highly reccomend the quiche. The play area is safe and really well laid out. If you are in the area it is well worth a visit. We live over an hour away but do make a beeline for Blackmarsh Farm when visiting. Staff are lovely too.

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.

We booked the private dining room for a Reunion. So impressed. Great food, lovely public rooms, impeccable friendly service. And very reasonable price.

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 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.

One of the best restaurant in Yeovil and one of the better Italian restaurants I have visited. Amazing traditional tasty food which I easily visit weekly for my trips here. Great service reasonably priced nothing not to like here it's really good.

Best Italian food I've ever had (in the UK). Everything was SO delicious. Staff were amazing and very friendly/funny. Lovely atmosphere too.

Now I would've given this place 5 stars however there was a man in the corner, drinking, miserable and shouting at the staff. I watched and listened to him shout and abuse the waiters which were lovely and later I found out it was the owner. Really rude and ruined the experience for me and he should not be doing that Infront of the customers or ever for that fact. Now to the food, it was lovely. Probably the best pizza I've had in ages and my work mate had the spaq bowl which he also said was lovely. The waiter and waitress were both lovely and professional and the service was excellent. I will definitely come back again as long as the boss is nowhere to be seen and then maybe I'll give it 5 stars.

The Digby Tap

Rating: 4.7 (507) Price Level:
Visited today. As someone who prefers an unpretentious "Traditional Ale House" with excellent real ales and good straightforward food, on the basis of today's lunch this is the best pub I've ever been in. Our pints were spot on, and our meals were outstanding. A real gem of a discovery, only shortcoming is it's a tad over 200 miles from home!
Rating: 5 / 5
Love this pub. An authentic, old-style pub with a lot of charm and a great local vibe. Good selection of beers and ales.
Rating: 5 / 5
We popped in for a pint and some lunch, but the kitchen had closed. However, they kindly made us sandwiches to go with the delicious ale and stout. A friendly, proper, old-fashioned pub.
Rating: 4 / 5
Visited this pub for a pint and some food for lunch. Chosen because of good reviews and reasonable prices for a snack. Yes that is true. Good selection of beers and well priced options for lunch, far better than the high street where a sandwich would set you back £10. Nothing grand, but all good value.

Excellent coffee and delicious home produced food of exceptional quality. This place is a real gem and well worth a detour for lunch.
Rating: 4 / 5
Great food, lovely staff. Gluten free options. Just not set up for less mobile people. Rough gravel that made wheeled walkers v difficult to push, steep ramp up. Hazardous. I watched 3 people struggle in. The food must be good! No disabled loo despite lots of space for it. Loos 50 yards away over same gravel. Can drive to them. C'mon people put a paved path to the entrance, get a more gently inclined ramp and put a couple of collapsible bars on the wall behind the loo to aid standing. Lots of customers aren't that young anymore.

We came here for a lunch and the food was lovely. We ordered two double charcuterie and cheese boards, and these came with a decent amount of food on them. A special mention to the butternut squash and miso soup, it was delicious. Dogs are welcome as long as they stay in the restaurant. The service was a bit slow and our order was messed up but corrected by staff. The atmosphere was nice under the marque and it was warm. There were plates left out on numerous tables, and the staff rushed around and appeared a bit over worked!

Attended a wake for an old friend's wife with maybe 150 people present on a Sunday. An extraordinary experience with impeccable food, drink and service. The food had obviously been carefully thought out to provide excellence in taste, quality and presentation. Despite a sudden torrential downpour the well trained and unobtrusive staff coped immaculately. Though the occasion could have been sombre Compton MacRae carried it off superbly and perfectly set the tone. Very well done: you deserve all the success that is coming to you.

Small plates, order at least 3 each and share, great selection and good quality. Dog friendly every where in the restaurant. I found it a bit complicated, it's a bit like Spanish Tapas and our total bill was around £70 it soon mounts up.

Absolutely gorgeous pub situated centrally in the lovely historic town of Sherborne in Dorset. The staff were so friendly and helpful. We stayed in The Hayloft for one night, like a lovely mini apartment overlooking the courtyard of the pub. Super comfy bed, great little bathroom and really lovely breakfast in the morning.
Rating: 5 / 5
Lovely late lunch. Quality food and friendly, accommodating staff. The outside looks fairly drab and some of the Italian signage is slightly incongruous (are Wadsworths synonymous with Italian dining? No), but don't be put off, the inside is far, far better with modern styling in a traditional setting. Not cheap but where is these days.
Rating: 5 / 5
What a surprise treat! I visited this restaurant with family when staying in the area for a weekend away, and what a gorgeous find this was! Situated right in the heart of Sherborne (which is a charming town to visit regardless) this restaurant was just fabulous. The menu was fab, tapas dishes inspired by Italy but using West Country produce - what's not to love! Staff were friendly and accommodating, the drinks selection was vast and impressive and the food quality was truly 10/10. Would definitely be back if I lived closer! This place gets very busy over weekend so definitely book in advance, and also would recommend arriving for an earlier sitting rather than later before it gets too busy.

An incredible meal at the plume! We were turned away from another restaurant despite having a reservation, but when we came to the Plume they were happy to help and sat us promptly. The meal was absolutely delicious and filled us up nicely. We had 6 dishes between 4 adults and were stuffed! The service was great and the atmosphere was so lovely.

Came for a leisurely coffee but ended up treating myself to the Rarebit! It was DELICIOUS! 😋 The only negative thing was there wasn't more of the tasty side salad (so so good ) 😁 I am super happy to have found such a gem in a local area 🙌 Ps the service was so friendly - thank you

What a lovely cafe! We came in for a coffee and Dorset Apple Cake and ended up staying for lunch. Great atmosphere, wonderful service and the food is amazing!! We had the avocado rarebit which was brilliant - really tasty and served with a lovely salad and slaw. Definitely recommend; we'll definitely be coming back.

I took a party of 26 to the Sherborne restaurant and was throughly pleased with the evening. Staff made us very welcome and were attentive during service. The food was great and the feedback from my party was positive. I'd recommend Tamburino Sherborne for a good night out.

Dined here solo on a weekday evening. Atmosphere was lovely with the restaurant feeling very open to take advantage of the lovely weather. It took a little longer than expected to take my order, but once this was done, food came out promptly and tasted delicious. I return to the area multiple times a year for work and will definitely visit this restaurant again.
