An asset to the village. A lovely friendly well-stocked shop, serving good tea and coffee, cakes and snacks, local fresh produce.There is also an excellent delivery service. They are happy to host a regular meat supplier on their forecourt. What more could a village want?

“We had noticed posts appear on Facebook from the Old School Gallery, but had never been to Yetminster before and were curious to find out more. From the moment we opened the door, we were warmly greeted by Alex and the team, as well as other diners and were made to feel very much at home. The lunch menu was superb, with an extensive list of tempting hearty and unusual soups, quiches etc. I opted for the falafel curry with rice which was delicious. Throughout the meal, Alex, her Mum and Team were very attentive and the atmosphere of the Old School Gallery was incredible. I was tempted to a piece of flapjack - no ordinary flapjack and highly recommended. What an incredible find! We need to return very soon and wish all at the Old School Gallery the very best as they really deserve it.”

“Regularly choose to grab breakfast here when going into Sherborne. As reviews have stated it’s a small cafe but easily the best breakfast and prices for this area. Personally I cannot understand the review saying the sausages and bacon are “tasteless”, I can only assume that reviewer was suffering from COVID and had no sense of taste as the bacon is always thick sliced and unmissable and the sausages are great, not seasoned/specialty sausages but they are better than many of the other venues I have visited. Breakfast options are great and are very filling, but if your in a rush a hot coffee and an excellent thick-cut bacon sandwich is an awesome choice to set you up for your trip.”

“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!”

“Visited Sherborne last weekend with my mum her sausage dog and my 4month old daughter , had a lovely day and it came to my daughter needing her bottle so we popped into Nero after finding it hard to get into other cafes with the pram (first time mum here ) we weren’t sure if the dog was allowed so mum hovered and I went in it was really busy long line busy Saturday lunchtime , I was feeling anxious as I knew my little one needed feeding and I thought we might not get in , I could see the guys on the counter where super busy so I kinda stood bewildered with the pram lol a member of staff walked by and I asked if the dog was allowed in and he was super friendly smiled and said Yh of course , he then proceeded to recommend a new sandwich too me as I couldn’t decide all while he was restocking the fridge on a busy lunchtime , so great got to the counter a young guy was friendly and welcoming actually ducked while making coffee so I could see the menu bless him took our order and without missing a beat carried our drinks over to our table for us as I had the baby and mum had full hands with shopping and a very over friendly dascuhund 😂 I was able to feed my daughter without worrying in a comfy armchair he bought our food over , made a fuss of the dog was super sweet and genuine our coffee and food where delicious - love the new pistachio coffee and cake ! We had a lovely relaxing lunch baby was fed , had a lovely atmosphere of friends having lunch and family’s in with their little ones looking at the pretty Xmas tree , which may I add the baubles throughly entrained my daughter while we waited to use … the baby change (hallelujah! ) and as we left the guys said Thankyou , bye , have a gd day etc , honestly the loveliest most helpful staff I’ve experienced since having my daughter and a lovely lunch well one guys I hope they give u a bonus or a blimmin good Xmas party ! Thanks for helping this new mum out !”

“Came here today, after walking from our campsite at Graston Copse through Burton Bradstock village. A warm welcome by a member of staff & shown to our outside table for 4 with 3 dogs. Our waitress took our drinks order & returned after a few minutes to take our food order. She was very friendly and attentive, giving time for a chat despite being extremely busy. Wait for our food was minimal and when it arrived it was hot, tasty & well presented. Back ground music was pleasant, giving the Mediterranean feeling due to the sunshine. Wouldn't hesitate in returning if we are in the area again .... thank you.”

“Staff were lovely and the food options were great! The vegan brekkie was fab! We are in the conservatory as it was too hot outside without my shade but I’d definitely come back. The food was great and the garden centre has lots of lovely stuff too!”
