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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

The best Italian food I’ve had in the UK - it’s tasty and authentic. So many options to choose from on the menu. Most of the staff are nice and happy to share their knowledge about the food. The kitchen closes at 9pm, not 11pm.

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.

We hit this place while looking for a lunch stop on a long bike ride. Thoroughly pleased with the food (sausage & egg bagguette) and the coffee was tasty. Would certainly ride this way again. ... Did I mention how good the flapjack was ? Mmmmm

Stumbled on this place by chance and would definitely recommend! A cosy real fire to sit by with warming tea and delicious soup followed by scrummy bread pudding and some cider to take home! I’ll be back 😁

This was my first visit and I was very impressed. Lovely decor, very light and airy. Comfortable chairs Nd lots of room on the tables. I had a full English breakfast which was fabulous and hot! We went for my son's birthday and when the server realised he brought out some muffins with 'Happy Birthday' written in chocolate on the plate which was a lovely touch. The service was excellent, the young man was really friendly and helpful as was the receptionist when we arrived. We had my three year old Granddaughter with us and they were very accommodating, we could choose anything from the breakfast menu in a child size portion. I will definitely visit again and recommend.

Fantasies couple of days. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. Service was impeccable, and they even made up a small plate for me as I don't eat much. The food is amazing, and the chef is very talented. The bed was very comfy and the rooms were beautifully decorated . Had the most amazing massage in the spa, which was very inviting and relaxing. Definitely recommended. The receptionist was very friendly and welcomed any feedback we had. 5 stars.

I’ve visited this hotel many times, and it’s always a treat. The food is simply delicious – every meal feels crafted with care. The spa offers a wonderful range of treatments that leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, perfect for a bit of pampering. The rooms are cozy and comfortable, making it easy to settle in and relax. Plus, it’s dog-friendly, which makes it a perfect getaway for the whole family, furry friends included! The best part, though, is the staff – they are so helpful and welcoming, always going the extra mile to make every stay feel special. Highly recommended!

Firstly the food is always delicious, lemon cake to die for and the service is always fabulous and friendly. Myself and my teen daughter have been in quite a few times recently with our puppy and the staff are always lovely and attentive. Today I had an unfortunate experience with another customer, our puppy got a bit upset when my daughter went to the toilet and was whimpering and barked a few times. I tried my best to comfort him and calm him down and turned to the table behind me to apologise and the lady was extremely rude and told me I shouldn’t be in a cafe with the puppy then continued to moan and grumble about it to her husband so that I could hear. Having had a bad few days and being unwell, I got quite upset and was going to leave because I was feeling so anxious. The staff came over to me and were really lovely and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and found us another table, and checked on me multiple times to make sure I was okay and comfort me. So thank you to the staff, we will be back, along with Milo the puppy.

Lovely little cafe on the main high street that offers a wide selection dishes of top quality. The risotto and hake dishes were superb and the panacotta desert was very yummy indeed! Excellent quality produce and would highly recommend.

I have visited before but only for coffee . We had a fantastic lunch of monkfish parpadelle and also tuna melt with salad. Monkfish tasted delicious as did the tuna. The whole menu looked very inviting. It was difficult to choose! Really great value and very filling! Sat upstairs which was lovely and quiet and relaxed. It's an interesting old building too. Definitely a good choice if you are visiting Sherborne for any reason.

The BEST hollandaise sauce I have had in years, rich and creamy. I had almost written off eggs benedict as I was fed up with vinegary sauce and had all but decided I had imagined how yummy it was when I was a child. My faith is restored!! The staff were lovely and friendly too. Definitely a treasure!

It was setting up for new year and there was a pleasing atmosphere. Price of beer was average for nowadays wherever you tend to go. Not too many seats so stood and could have more, perhaps to include stools at the bar.

Loved the Christmas shopping and the garden centre. It was just a shame the service was so slow for two coffees and two cheese scones warmed. Coffees eventually turned up and only one cold cheese scone. It had taken so long to come that they only one scone was left. Lots when we ordered. My friend then ordered a different piece of cake, time went on, and that that we had drunk our coffee, then only one scone arrived cold. as they had sold out because it had taken so long. My friend chose a piece of cake which didn't turn up, they'd forgotten.. Had to go back to the desk to ask again for the cake. It was all so disjointed. My friend had to sit and eat her cake on its own because our coffees and my cheese scone were long gone I will try going back when it's not so busy and give them one more try. It rather spoilt our day as it was such a mix up. Even my coffee was Luke warm ! I didn't like to ask my friend if her coffee was hot.
