Found by chance when perusing the menu of a more expensive establishment. Inside was too busy for nine of us but in the small yet quaint courtyard we managed to shuffle a few tables together to accommodate our needs. The food was delicious and reasonably priced... the pot of tea was enormous and required a strong arm to lift and pour! The staff were very friendly especially one gentleman in particular who instigated much banter. Would definitely visit again... highly recommended.

An amazing cafe just off the picturesque Beaminster square! Superb homemade food, good sized portions, and delicious coffee. The hosts are lovely, and this is a must visit cafe if you are in the area!

This was a spur of the moment stop to break up a long journey home and we are so glad we did. The cafe itself has been beautifully designed with beautiful garden and interesting local artwork. The menu was fantastic and had specials that changed daily (I loved the bubble and squeak and poached egg) and it was so lovely to be able to see in the kitchen. It also had really good glueten free options. The owners were incredibly friendly and chatty and made us feel really welcome.

Visited the Tangerine Cafe yesterday for the first time on our way down to West Bay (a short hop). The cafe is a perfect haven of calm with a cosy coffee shop, light and quiet orangery and a beautiful tea garden. There are also books and art work for sale. The food is varied, original and very tasty. We each had something different and really enjoyed the coconut peanut butter French toast and lovely fresh strawberries, Greek salad, scrambled eggs, French toast and bacon. The coffee is very good indeed. Sue, Chris and the team were very welcoming and we will definitely be back soon.

Fantastic find. Quirky, friendly & good value. Try it! We saw a sign to the Gallery in the market square in Beaminster and I popped down the road for a look as the pub we had intended to visit had just stopped food service. I am so glad we did find the Tangerine Gallery & Cafe. The place is a maze of small individual rooms, so social distancing is no problem. My wife and I chose to eat in the lovely cottage garden. Again, there is a choice of places to sit - we chose the hexagonal summer house. The staff were very friendly and, just as it says on the menu, everything is prepared fresh. The raspberry milk shake was bursting with fresh raspberries. We both chose the pork stir fry (good value at £7.90) and everything tasted crisp and fresh. We liked it so much that we took two slices of their lovely Dorset Apple Cake and Marmalade Bread Pudding away with us. Being a gallery, there were paintings and craft works for sale as well. We chose a new mascot for our caravan. If you are in the area, I really recommend the Tangerine Cafe.

Adorable little café with a few vegan option in the small village of Beamister, the café itself is very cozy with different rooms and a lovely garden (it was winter when we visited so we enjoyed the garden from inside), the kitchen is visible so it feels like a family gathering. Service was very attentive and helpful. We had the vegan Sunday roast and the toast with creamed corn, both very good.

The Board House
1A Church St, Crewkerne TA18 7HR, UK | Coffee Shop P: 01460 419390
Rating: 4.9 (60) Price Level:
This was an incredibly fun and entertaining experience. They have every board game you could possibly want from quick casual games to prolonged involved experiences. The food is also good and sold at very reasonable prices. I can wholeheartedly endorse this location and I will be returning in the future.
Rating: 5 / 5
UPDATE: Since I wrote the review below, Board Cafe have started doing food, and it is excellent. The sourdough pizzas are among the best we've had anywhere. You're here for the games, and they have a super selection of quality games in very good condition. You want to be guided in how to play new ones, and the staff are genuine enthusiasts and generous in the help they offer. You'll sustain yourself with decent drinks at a good price, and they've got that covered - the coffee is barista quality, and friends who like that sort of thing said they love the milkshakes. There are alcoholic treats, too ... perhaps for customers who aren't as competitive as us! They are building a kitchen upstairs to do food in future, and in the meantime they have been inventive with the cake selection and snack menu. We got the "three bowls for £5" offer this time - sour jelly sweets, chocolate buttons and Doritos, which helps create a party atmosphere. We've been here with a group of 10, twice in a group of 4 and today as a couple, and each time we've had a great experience (see picture of Wingspan, a lovely game based on the idea of building a bird reserve). Book your table in advance - this is a very popular place.
Rating: 5 / 5
Great experience learning some new games with the staff speeding up the process by explaining the basic rules to us. Incredibly delicious pizzas - classic options like pepperoni and BBQ chicken and other more unique ones such as Mediterranean and spinach and mushroom. Booking is a must as it's a very popular venue and 3 hours is recommended as the time flies!!

Had a lovely relaxed Saturday afternoon eating tasty food, discovering new games and drinking a very tasty milkshake! Good vegan options (I'm dairy free so always look out for them!) and friendly staff. Will definitely be back 😊

The Feed Station

Rating: 4.8 (364) Price Level:
Came here recently for the afternoon tea and we were really pleased with it. The service was great and quick (even with us turning up quite a bit earlier than our booking). The tea itself was plentiful for two people and all parts of it were really tasty! £20 per person felt like good value. The place itself is lovely and is in a really nice and unique building. Would recommend a visit!

A lovely little cafe for breakfast / brunch! Lots of options on the menu to cater for all needs. Good coffee and very friendly staff too. It was lovely to be able to bring my doggy inside who very much enjoyed the treats he was given! We will definitely be back.

The feed station team did an amazing job with hosting my mums surprise 60th Birthday, Amanda and Chris were super helpful and were very accommodating to what I wanted. The food was delicious and the Venue beautiful, they made a beautiful birthday cake especially for the occasion decorated to how I wanted with flowers. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job, I would highly recommend and will be back again soon!

The most delicious home cooked food I've had in such a long time! Great coffee too. We loved the salad and the fish cakes. High quality, fresh ingredients and amazing flavours. The owner was also so friendly too. Highly recommend. Such a hidden gem!

Went there for tea/coffee and cake with a friend. Reasonable prices. Both of us had a Latte coffee and a slice of Bakewell sponge cake. (See pictures). Lovely cake. You could sit inside with the antiques as it was an Antiques shop as well.

What a great find. Stumbled across this wonderful cafe on our way to Devon. Superb food, cosy homely atmosphere and friendly service. Couldn’t ask for more.
Rating: 5 / 5
Found this amazing place by pure chance! We were driving by and my wife saw a delightful dress in the window, so we stopped! It’s a first class cafe with antiques you can buy. Set over several floors, each room brings a different level of quirkiness! Got chatting to the owner (who owns the Austin in the pics as well). The building is built alongside the hill, the back wall is actually part of the hall and it keeps the coolness (ideal for when it was a but her in the 70s, before that, a pub). The owner has been there some 20 odd years and had the epiphany to make it into a cafe and shop! If you’re in the area, you’ve got to visit. Oh, cheese and mustard scones melt in the mouth and the selection of salads is truly wonderful !

Pretty tea rooms beside an old very rustic Mill. Very friendly welcome & generous pot of tea with choice of yummy cakes. Savouries looked great too.
Rating: 5 / 5
We arrived just as they were closing. We only wanted a cup of tea and some cake, and the staff were lovely and welcoming. The carrot cake was delicious, and the tea was plentiful. They have a small menu but it caters for all at a very reasonable price. The small and cosy restaurant is spotlessly clean and the tables well spaced with additional seating outside if the weather is fine. All in all, a delightful find. We will definitely visit again.

Very relaxing lunch, great ambience in an authentic mill setting. Food was delicious, well presented, generous portion sizes, and good service too, so ticked lots of boxes. Will definitely return soon.

We called in today for a cuppa and cake and were very impressed on arrival with the extremely kind, friendly young lady as nothing was too much trouble, especially as we arrived near to closing time. We had a nice cup of tea and a piece of carrot cake. The menu for lunches etc also looked very nice. The owner told us they do a Sunday lunch using all local produce, which is always nice to hear. It's a little way out of Bridport, but in our opinion, it is well worth a visit. We will definitely come back again soon. I can only give 5 for customer service. i would have given 10 if I could.

Gorgeous coffee shop hidden away which has seating in a double decker bus, railway carriage or outdoors picnic tables and area for kids to run around. We only had takeaway coffee but we're impressed by the uniqueness of this cafe. Coffee was good. So pleased we stopped.

Very cute local brunch place/restaurant in the area. Cool bus/train themed vibe with lots of green plants, indoor heating and blankets for outside. Food was amazing, had the avocado toast and the hash browns are definitely a must have. Staff were very friendly and professional. Highly recommended place, and would go again.

Stopped here while travelling down to Cornwall, and really pleased we did. Was worried there wouldn't be space from pictures of a small rail car, but there's also a bus and marquee area for seating, so shouldn't have worried. The menu is interesting, lots of small plates designed for sharing rather than standard cafe food, but everything we ordered was lovely and full of flavour. Service was great as well, although they were very busy. Thank you team! The farm shop next door is full of delicious bits and pieces as well.
Rating: 5 / 5
Wow, what a hidden gem this is!! Only complaint is car park is slightly small - however the food was outstanding. I had Avo on toast with an egg and it was delicious. Amazing flavours, perfect runny egg and no soggy toast! We also had some hashbrowns to share (A Must) - equally delicious. We sat in the marquee due to having a dog with us but it was lovely in there, the train carriage and bus looked intriguing and we will definitely be coming again to have a go in there. Lovely little farm shop to look in after too. Well worth the visit!

Coffee and cake at Pip’s Railway Carriage Bakery & Restaurant, a restored train from the 1850’s. There is also a double-decker bus, but it’s not nearly as atmospheric as well as picnic tables outback. I had the lemon cornmeal olive oil cake with a mascarpone frosting, which was delicious. My only complaint is that they would not let us sit in one of the railway cars because they said none of them were clean. The truth is they didn’t want to clean one and then clean it again because they were closing in an hour.

Came for a leisurely coffee but ended up treating myself to the Rarebit! It was DELICIOUS! 😋 The only negative thing was there wasn't more of the tasty side salad (so so good ) 😁 I am super happy to have found such a gem in a local area 🙌 Ps the service was so friendly - thank you

What a lovely cafe! We came in for a coffee and Dorset Apple Cake and ended up staying for lunch. Great atmosphere, wonderful service and the food is amazing!!

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.

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!
Rating: 5 / 5
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.
