The Stalls Cafe

Chestnut yard studios, Salisbury SP3 5NH, UK

Such a lovely cafe with the most friendly staff. Dogs are allowed and the Olympics was being shown on the TV. Our food was alright, but there wasn’t a huge choice on the menu. It looks as though the weekends have a bigger variety for food if that’s what you’re planning to come in for.

Nice place for a coffee stop and brunch. Fantastic ice cream milkshakes. Good flat white but was only slightly warm. Bit on the pricey side but overall a pleasant experience.

Best coffee for miles, in a county where it’s tricky to find a decent flat white. Coffee is advertised as ‘Aussie style’. At least four types of hot chocolate, made properly. Dogs and kids welcomed. Nice staff. Outdoor and in-barn seating

It is difficult to compare a beach side café with others, but they work very hard indeed in the holiday months, and deserve plenty of praise.

Great place always worth a visit when in the area. Couldn't ask for a better place to have some lunch or just a nice cold cider. Keep up the good work.

Had a stop here on a visit to Weymouth. Have to say the food was lovely - better than some of the more expensive places I've been to recently. Fantastic views of the beach, as well. Good honest food, reasonably priced. Give it a go!

The Udder Farm Shop

Manor Farm, Front St, East Stour, Gillingham SP8 5LQ, UK

4.4 (1,568 reviews)

Great farm shop and very good restaurant, but has gotten incredibly busy. The farm shop is excellent, with a great butcher's counter and great selection of fruit & veg, as well as lots of posh nibbles. The restaurant is very reliable, decent food and good service. The only downside is that, with the large additional seating area they added to the restaurant, the whole place can get very busy. On a Saturday lunchtime we were lucky to snag the very last parking spot left in both the main and the *overflow* car parks.

A huge, varied menu with very tasty, generous portions of food in a nice setting. A bit too easy to spend quite a lot of money! Great location with children when the weather is ok as there's a big field with football goals and some play equipment.

Great experience as a place, but also in the restaurant and in the store I would like to find things of very good quality, not just the basic one. The bread for breakfast can be one from a local bakery not a frozen baguette or the store could also sell organic milk in cartons not in plastic bottle or a yogurt in a jar not just plastic buckets...etc. Overall it was good with skilled and kind staff.

I could have spent endless hours pouring over everything in the shop. It’s a beauty to behold in the eyes of an American. There are assortments of wonderful pastries, cakes, cookies and breads. All types of condiments and sauces. An extensive meat counter with varieties of meat and fish (I regret to say my sausage and bacon from there were immediately seized upon my return to the US). Of course there are cheeses, spreads, pate and a great frozen section of many items including ready meals. The staff was friendly and the items I was able to enjoy (like the smoked trout terrine and a steak & kidney pie) were absolutely amazing

A huge thank you to Jude for all her care and attention to detail in putting together our order of 15 Christmas Hampers as gifts for our staff. Top quality products, beautifully displayed. Very grateful. Hope to be back next year.

Fantastic cafe with brilliant friendly service! We were in the area for a couple of months and tried to eat here as much as possible! The inclusive breakfast is legendary, AND a great price. Thank you for feeding us! :)

The menu is a little on the pricey side and could do with some more light bite choices for those just wanting a small lunch. However the food quality was excellent as was the service. Great that they allow dogs, next time we will take ours.

Stopped off with two small kids for a break. Pleasantly surprised with how nice it is. Great little museum for kids to stretch legs, excellent service and facilities. Food is quite expensive although kids menu is very reasonable but didn’t try it so can’t comment. Good for a rainy day pit stop, right next to the A303. Good gift shop.

The food is chip shop style but tastes good. Service is friendly and there is a separate bar for alcoholic drinks.

Beach cafés can be a bit of a dive — not this one! Really tasty good, generous portion sizes, friendly staff, a relaxed atmosphere, and sea views. We especially enjoyed the scampi and the dirty fries.

Had the fish and chips with mushy peas. This for us is the best fish and chips in Weymouth for your money. The batter is always cooked perfectly, lovely and crispy. A great portion of chips and nice sized pot of mushy peas. Restaurant looks perfectly out over the sea at Bowleaze cove. There is always outside seating under cover and also a decked area.

Great little cafe with outdoor seating. Recommend the selection on panini’s- especially the tuna melt! It’s was delicious, also comes with some crisps and side salad for £6.50. The coffee was also lovely! Parking available on the road outside. Staff were very helpful and friendly

We discovered and have subsequently been to BAKE three times in the last two weeks. From the get-go, we liked the place. The staff are always polite, professional and very friendly. Moreover, it is a very clean and well-furnished establishment - and we absolutely love the coffee (we are addicted to their flat whites). BAKE is also dog-friendly. Indeed, our pup is given a bowl of water and some complimentary dog biscuits during each visit (see photos). As such, BAKE has become our new local coffee shop. Highly recommended.

Popped in this morning for the first time, mid-way on my bike ride. The lady that served me was new on the till but was very pleasant, friendly and helpful. A lovely coffee and cake (coffee and walnut) was had sat outside. As an unexpected bonus the owner came out to me and produced the last piece of cake in a takeaway carton saying it was too small to sell so would I like to take it with me! Thank you for great service, I'll be back again 100%

Had lunch here and it was excellent! The carrot cake and chai tea are 5* worthy alone; everything else is a bonus! Décor is fabulous, as is the location. Service was a little slow but it's August and expected tbh... Staff really friendly
