Delightful in every way. Popped in here on the off chance as we had come for Corfe castle illuminations and got the wrong night 🤦‍♀️we were greeted by an absolute angel (May/Mae?) who was clearly rushed off her feet but still had a smile for everyone. Nothing was too much trouble even though we were being annoying and indecisive. We had some lovely food and the atmosphere was delightful, we were so impressed. By the time we were leaving another server had joined May and she was also lovely. We can’t wait to go back and try the roast as it looked delicious. Thank you May and team, you’re brilliant!☺️

From the moment of booking our experience of The Bankes Arms could not have been more positive. They were especially helpful over my young daughter’s multiple dietary requirements & there were a range of options on the menu suitable for her. We all had delicious roasts that were clearly made with top quality ingredients but will definitely come back again as there were numerous other dishes on the menus we would like to have tried! Service was excellent & everything contributed to a really special family day out. Thank you George & all The Bankes Arms team!

My wife and I have nearly stopped going out as we always leave disappointed, knowing we could have cooked better, tastier food at a fraction of the cost. This restaurant has renewed our faith. It was simply fantastic. We were out for a drive and found this wonderful place by accident. There was a special Sunday roast menu, so we chose from there. I chose the crispy pork belly, it was fork tender and delicious with a strip of the best crackling I have had in ages My wife had the roast beef, which was cooked perfectly. We ordered a side of cauliflower cheese and there was easily enough for two, we also ordered a side of chipolata sausages and there were tons in the bowl We could hardly walk it was so filling. Sorry about the photos, it was so nice I started mine before thinking about taking a picture - Oops

We had a fantastic meal at The Bankers Arms! The BBQ and burgers were cooked to perfection, and the portions were generous. The staff was attentive and friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere that made us feel right at home. Great value for money - we can't wait to return!
