Top Cafes in Milton on stour, Dorset

We stopped off here for breakfast at the end of a weekend away as we’d heard from our hosts that they did good food and were dog friendly. The food was delicious and great value. The staff were really friendly and welcoming and we managed to pick up a couple of early Xmas presents for hampers as a bonus! Would highly recommend.

Fantastic gem of a cafe with a great selection of cakes and hot food. Margo the owner is forward thinking and the waiting staff Ollie and Gabby know how to make you feel seen and welcome. Will be back

A wonderful find hidden away at Stalbridge Dorset we have a warm welcome and could sit outside or in the restaurant area, the menu had a good range of meals and the homemade cake where to die for. I am fussy about coffee this was good roosted by readscoffee.co.uk.

Absolutely gorgeous farm cafe for a delicious 😋 breakfast GF too was blown away with this epic breakfast and fabulous little cafe. Well worth a visit. Staff lovely. Food is exceptional.

Margot has been running her cafe from this site about 8 years,so I have been many times in i think the last 7+ years...
I live around 150 miles away,and hadn't been here since Christmas...
So I got down about 06.30 this morning and had table booked for 09.30.....
I can not fault this cafe,I tend to have the Spire Hill Grill and I have yet to have a bad bit of any meal.
With the ever increase in cost of living,I was expecting it to be more expensive than Christmas 2022...but nope,same price,and I think it is amazing quality for a very reasonable price.
I was with family that live in Dorset and visit this fantastic cafe often....in fact my sister was in the day before also.

The staff are lovely...Margot (owner) is a true professional and has built her business up over the years,take look at the website,and the produce that have,home made jams etc etc,I understand they now have some of the produce selling in a local shop.

The customers in the cafe are also friendly,and seem to know each other....
I did a review on TaT before,and I'm doing this update as and edit,my original is below.

We had pot of tea and three coffees...the little milk bottles,the glass teapot are just examples of some of the things they do differently...and it all goes to show the love Margot has for food and service to her customers (friends)
The head chef Eve (pink shorts ;) ) is also a little star,and has been with TaT from being tutored from as an apprentice to becoming head chef...
And is a credit to Margot and to catering...

We came away with a couple of pieces of home made cakes....and will enjoy later.
I know before I arrive that the experience will be all I could reasonably expect,and could only ever leave a rate of 5 star....
Anything less...I'm my view is unjust.
