I booked an afternoon tea for 8 of us for a 50th birthday treat. Communication before the day was very good and the actual afternoon tea was amazing, very fresh with a great variety of sandwickes and cakes. The team went above and beyond to ensure we were all very well looked after, bringing us extra sandwiches and tea! I would highly recommend this lovely cafe overlooking the river for afternoon tea.

Outstanding experience. Super scrumptious food, excellent service, perfect atmosphere and really stylish. Homemade hummus (part of the mezze plate) was great and the pork and apple sausage roll (part of the farmers platter) was on another level. Truly wonderful. What more can one say? If you're in the area go and visit, you won't be disappointed.

This is a little gem of a place! We sat outside in the sun and ordered several items off the menu. The team were all charming and helpful and the food was fast and tasty. The farmers plate, shakshuka and brioche breakfast buns were all fabulous. The smoothies were perfectly balanced - not too sweet and the cakes are 10/10. Our new fave spot! Be sure to get there before the kitchen closes at 3!

Thirsty Bird has a wonderfully eclectic decor that I find appealing and quirky. We booked to take friends for a lazy Sunday breakfast. We were met and served by the wonderful front-of-house team, who were friendly and delightful. The coffee is sublime, and we take ours black and sugar-free. You can't hide bad coffee ☕️. We ordered the Bacon Ciabatta and two Make-your-Own breakfasts. We had smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, with halloumi and a side salad [a great alternative option to bread], and we had bacon and scrambled eggs, with halloumi. The food was delicious and beautifully plated, and the servings were generous. We will be back.

We attended the Mexican night a few weeks ago and absolutely loved it. The event was very reasonably priced at just £25. The food was amazing, freshly prepared and the portions were extremely generous with a delicious cocktail included. Couldn't have asked for a nicer evening and the staff were amazing, looking forward to the next one!

Been here a few times now and every time I have attended, have been very pleased with the service and food. Abby is full of energy and has a great memory (remembers your orders without writing them down - impressive!). Food is well presented, tasty and general ambience of the restaurant is pleasant. Recommended.

Excellent food. Excellent staff. Fantastic choice of food. Nothing is too much trouble if you needed your food order tweaked. Staff are always friendly. I try to go here weekly as is guaranteed good quality food. I also love their coffee. Been to other local places but Love All Food is undoubtedly my favourite. Been many times and I’ve never found anything negative to say. Thank you Love All Food for for having such high standards at an affordable price. ☕️

We stopped by this place when we were travelling between Southampton to Devon. All of the reviews sounded great. It did not disappoint! Extremely friendly and welcoming service and delicious food and lovely coffee! Quick service and we didn’t have to wait long for the food to come out. We both went for the breakfast fix (a full English) and paid extra for black pudding. The bacon, sausage and black pudding were all delicious, fried egg was perfect, homemade hash brown and great fried mushrooms! On a busy road but don’t let that put you off, the service was exceptional and the food was delicious!

I saw the Legacy 85 stand at the Distinguished Gentleman Ride Party in Bournemouth a few weeks ago and was interested in what they were offering. I then went to the store near the airport in Bournemouth and was very impressed by what I found. I always look for quality niche products and this store does not disappoint. Spent more than I planned too but I am really happy with my choices. Thanks to Mark and his advice. I cannot recommend higher.

I emailed a number of bike shops along a journey I was making because my wife wanted a particular helmet. Mark was the only one to reply. Great service when we arrived, a really nice range of gear with some quirky items, plus a coffee shop. We need to support decent retailers like this. Couldn't be happier, thankyou

Lovely shop and nice place for a stop for coffee or tea with friends. Nice seating area outside and nice clean loo. The owner was really nice and friendly. A great amount of items for sale and some really beautiful items. Ladies clothing seemed to be for the petite ladies but could be just what he had in stock when we visited. More cake options would be great.

Very warm and friendly place to visit Clothing very unique and desirable. Great coffee, even decaf. Tried one of those Pot noodle type meals and was very surprised how nice and fresh they tasted. Not like the ordinary rubbbish you get in supermarkets. Try the cakes, another home made item, delicious !!! Take a few hours out and see for your self how much better this type of Bike shop is compared to many.

Cafe by Jo is absolutely lovely! I came here with my grandad as he had recommended the place, and immediately we were greeted with a smile from Jo herself. When ordering our drinks, she already knew what my grandad would like even though he had only been there twice before which shows her dedication to customer service, as well as lovely personality. The hot chocolate and coffee we had was delicious, and the decor is modern yet sophisticated. Overall, we loved it and will be back!

A delightful new cafe has recently opened its doors in Wimborne, offering a charming and affordable pitstop. The menu, while concise, delivers big on flavor. The decor is another delightful surprise. It's quirky and interesting, making for a memorable ambiance. While the coffee wasn't quite a standout (just a bit middle-of-the-road), the lovely staff more than made up for it. They were friendly, attentive, and added a warm touch to the entire experience. For a light and satisfying lunch at a very reasonable price, this new cafe is a must-try. Just be sure to explore their food offerings, as they're the true stars of the show!

I recently dined at Taste Buds, and I must say it was an extraordinary experience from start to finish. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a highly professional and welcoming staff, whose attention to detail and warmth immediately set the tone for the afternoon. Their balance of attentiveness without being overbearing made the service not only efficient but extremely pleasant. As for the food, it was nothing short of exceptional. Every dish was crafted with precision, bursting with fresh, vibrant flavors. It was the perfectly cooked main course, and each bite was a delight. The menu offered a great variety, to both traditional tastes and more adventurous palates. Overall, Taste Buds seamlessly combines top-tier service with a culinary experience that leaves a lasting impression. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable meal.

Lovely little place, I had the vegan bagel which was super tasty and fresh, and an oat milk latte which was top tier, the customer service was great and I loved the local atmosphere and all the little dogs in there, I picked a good place to stop on my journey, well worth it! Big car park right by it where you can park in too if you’re just grabbing a take away like me.

I am so glad that this place exists in Ringwood! It has such a fresh energy. Coffee beans 5 stars. Food 5 stars. The store feeling 5 stars. Staff 100 stars. It is such a nice place to have a quiet moment and do some work (there is free strong wifi) or meet up with a friend. I cannot wait to make this my regular place when I am down here. A beautiful and lovely small business that needs more recognition. The food is exceptional and homemade and one of the big selling points for me.

I love the casual, friendly atmosphere where food & coffee are affordable & great quality. Delicious homebaked cakes, savoury pastries, & the best sausage rolls in town are a real treat. Gluten-free options are also available. Frankie & Teresa are always welcoming & friendly. I love the colourful side salads & the variety of ciabatta fillings available. Mums, solos & couples enjoy meeting up, pet lovers are clearly at home bringing their dogs along & enjoy the attention they get. Love the warm atmosphere created by the community who are regulars.

We had a fab time here this morning. It was very wet and muddy after all the rain we've had recently but my kids loved splashing on the trail. I even enjoyed a hot coffee while they played in the play area and my 3yo was thrilled with her gluten free brownie! Fab facilities, clean toilets and baby changing area. We will be back 😀

I’ve been a regular customer at Gulliver’s Farm Shop for quite some time, and it’s been wonderful to watch it grow and evolve. They offer a delightful menu featuring biodynamic food straight from their farm, and the quality of the food is outstanding, especially for the price. One of the highlights for us is that when an adult orders a meal, children's meals are just £1 – a fantastic value for families! What makes Gulliver's even more special is their commitment to employing individuals with disabilities, providing meaningful support and opportunities to adults with varying needs. It feels great to support such a worthy cause while enjoying a meal. The play area is perfect for kids to run around, and the play trail is a lovely addition after a meal. I highly recommend Gulliver’s Farm Shop to friends and will continue to do so."

Gullivers Farm Shop & Kitchen is a gem for families and the community! We thoroughly enjoyed the Christmas events for our little ones! The food is fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully prepared, with superb coffee that’s hard to beat. The shop is full of organic, local produce, and the whole place has a warm, welcoming vibe. We loved the family-friendly activities like meeting the farm animals and the play area for kids. What really stands out is the amazing work they do to support adults with varying support needs, creating opportunities and a real sense of community. It’s a fantastic place for great food, great coffee, and a meaningful experience!

The staff were friendly and welcoming. There were a selection of tables both inside and out, and the menu offered a variety of foods and drinks, I wasn't expecting a place like this to offer a such a fantastic burger and chips, but they certainly did! Can honestly say that it's one of the best I've had in a long time. My wife had a salad, which was also delicious and filling. We sat for some time enjoying the atmosphere and reading our books, whilst helping ourselves to more tea and coffee. This is a lovely place to stop for food and drinks, and we would highly recommend!

Visited on our way home after visiting Lyme Regis. Wanted somewhere for cream teas and normal lunches. Beautiful polytunnel to eat in, perfect for a scattered cloudy day about 16 degrees, any warmer might be too hot in there! We had a scone and an awesome Budda bowl - just excellent! Worth the detour! Our sausage dog monty was also made very welcome

Clean open & airy with plenty of room fabulous Greasy spoon without the grease!!! They offer a massive menu with plenty of options offering every possible combination for breakfasts and if you don't fancy a breakfast there is a wide range of tasty meals and snacks on offer! Parking is limited however it seems to be a case of leave where you can abandon it outside but be prepared to move it because if your not blocking someone in you will be blocked.

This is one of those hidden gem places that do not come along very often. Its tucked away at the back of a trading estate. So, you won't find it by chance. Its done in the style of an American diner with a British twist. The staff are great and let you know they are pleased too have you pay a visit. Its evident that the local trades all know about this place, but the secret is gradually getting out. Parking can be tricky close by. But there are plenty of spaces a short walk away. Food is really good. More than a match, and in most cases a big step up, for any of the local cafes and pub restaurants. Fresh cooked and prepared on site. There is a great menu which covers most tastes, big range of drinks and even American pancakes to finish you off if you can fit any more in. Portion sizes are generous so don't over order. The most popular choices seem to be the excellent cooked breakfasts. Highly recommend this place. Well worth the effort of finding it. Moderate prices for a 5 star service. I don't think you will find better in the area.
