John was thorough, prompt, and extremely knowledgeable. He was very helpful with my recent electrical work, and I would not hesitate to recommend him and his high-quality service.

Faultless service from John. We wanted an extractor fan installed when we uncovered an old air vent when remodelling the bathroom. John used the vent and gave recommendations for the type of fan and relocated our light switch to include connection to the extractor fan. Clear quote and spec. of product given and plenty of advice, together with relevant documentation and final invoice for a good price. We have plenty more to do in our old house and will not hesitate to use his services again.

John did an EICR for insurance of my thatched house. He was thoroughly professional and helpful and his very detailed report was received by email late the same evening. I have no hesitation in recommending him for electrical work, and I plan to use him if and when I need any new installation.

John recently did a full rewire at my property where the electrics hadn't been touched since the 1960s. He was always polite, on time, and very neat and tidy. All work was performed to a high standard, and he really took the time to explain everything and suggest useful tips and tricks. We are extremely happy with the work and the little extras that John helped us with. The overall cost was very reasonable for the work that was put in. Highly recommended!

I have John on several occasions now and in each case the work has been excellent even going beyond the original scope of work on one occasion making a bad installation safe. All of this for what I consider a very reasonable price,highly recommended.

Honestly best coffee I have had in a long time. I usually get my pumpkin spice late from Starbucks but this is by far so much better and cheaper!!! The staff are lovely and made me feel very comfortable when I came in. Would 10000% recommend trying this coffee shop!

Great little alternative coffee shop in the centre of Ashley Cross - nice selection of pastries and friendly atmosphere. If tattoos, coffee and good vibes are your thing, it ticks all the boxes 🙏

What a wonderful new addition to Ashley Cross! Stopped in for a quick espresso and some of their delicious carrot cake on my lunch break, staff were really nice, the decor is just beautiful, everything is clean and all round just a lovely little place. Will definitely return for my favorite bad hand coffee! I can't wait to try some of the other treats on offer.

Being a bit of a coffee snob, I was beyond stoked to have amazing coffee at the best tattoo studio! Such welcoming and warm service with a smile, not to mention some awesome coffee and some beautiful baked goods! Cannot recommend enough for a local chill or an addition to getting some ink!

Had an amazing meal here with my family! It was the first few days of being them open and everything was perfect. The friendliest service we’ve had in Poole for a long time and the food was delicious! Huge portions and we were even given some welcome drinks on arrival! The restaurant itself is beautiful and really well decorated too. We can’t wait to come back! Thanks so much :)

Spent a wonderful evening here celebrating my daughter 23rd birthday. The restaurant is so lovely. Really super friendly and amazing service. So special to be treated so politely and attentively. The restaurant attention to detail is outstanding. Food was flavourful, presented beautifully and plentiful!! A lovely birthday touch to my daughter also at the end of our meal with a beautiful plate of desserts and candle. Definitely recommend and definitely go again. Lovely to be somewhere individual and actually be served with feeling valued and not just a number. Looking forward to the official opening launch! Thank you Yiten ! 👏

Yup, the good reviews are on point. Gavin & his team did a full rewire of my house, and every aspect of working with him was A1. Starting with a detailed and fair quote; he made great suggestions that I hadn't thought of; the works, and communications were done well and on time; he was flexible to changes in my plans....generally speaking, he has a great attitude, so all-in-all I could relax and trust that the job was in good hands.

Always been delighted with the work from Dorset Electrical. Our house isn't easy at times, with lathe and plaster walls Mark, our regular electrician has always managed to find a way to do the job neatly and in good time.

I've used Dorset Electrical many time, from simple light switch change to a complete loft rewire. Always on time, tidy and professional. Good advice always given and never any issues with the work. I wouldn't go anywhere else for any electrical work.

I have used Gavin and his team for some outside lighting installation on an Aircraft Hangar at Bournemouth Airport which I am very satisfied with. Dorset Electrical are an excellent choice for industrial electrical installation requirements. From start to finish very professional and safe at all times and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.

We brought a house with 12 solar panels just over a month ago. We knew the panels were not serviced or cleaned since installed 10 years ago (2013) We reached out to DES Ltd who completed a full service and cleaning service. Not only was the job done to a high standard but the knowledge shared and showing us how the system worked has be valuable. Highly recommend and thank you. Regards Riad

Fantastic service from Jason and his team. A top class clean for our solar panels (12) and the added benefit of an in depth test report on the entire system. I'd have no hesitation in recommending DES.

Both the men were very polite and efficient. Even though the weather was absolutely dreadful the man doing the cleaning still got up and cleaned the panels. Would recommend this company.

Really pleased with the work carried out to install 2 x extractors and a PIV unit. The work was much more involved than first thought, and the poor guy was working in our loft on the hottest day of the year! But he returned a second day to finish up and the original price was honoured. A pleasure having you in our home and feeling the benefits of the extractors and PIV as soon as they were turned on!

I’ve been meaning to leave this review for months. We’re regulars here because it’s fresh quality food served by lovely people. When we moved back to the UK from California we were pretty down on the healthy food options locally, but then we found Healthy Habits. So glad to have this on our doorstep and will keep coming back for the food, superb coffee and top notch service.

Discovered this place for the first time and treated myself for my birthday. Avocado Bruschetta with Superfood Hot Chocolate was amazing. Also ordered salad to take with me. Everything fresh, made to order and so tasty. I cannot recommend this place enough and definitely will come back again... And again ... And again xx

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Despite Richard’s work van breaking down in the morning he could of easily postponed the installation of our EV charger for another day, but he sorted out another van keeping us informed all the time and carried out the work later on in the day. Really friendly guy and would highly recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Oysters for starters were big and meaty, very nice and fresh. The beef fillet was perfectly cooked, melt in the mouth and the dauphinoise potatoes were soft and buttery with hints of garlic. The burger was huge! chilli jam was really good, could easily have more. Would recommend as a great meal out in Poole old town.

I just love this place. Really good menu. Delicious sandwiches and cakes plus classic french mains. Lunch is especially good value. The fresh crab sandwich with a touch of dill is the stuff of dreams. Went for afternoon tea and got homemade mini quiches and sausage rolls with the crispest buttery pastry. Service is fantastic. They are such nice people. Not enough of them though as it's becoming a super popular place. Beautiful decor inside. On the prettiest bit of the quay.

We had a wonderful meal at the pickled berry. The chicken Caesar croquettes were so delicious!!! And the lamb was very tasty and tender. We enjoyed the pink rose and a Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc which were both very nice. Lovely setting and great service. Will definitely be coming back again! They also do afternoon tea or cream tea which I look forward to coming in for also.

Wow, what a lovely chilled place!! Came for lunch with my mum here today, amazing service and friendliness. It was quiet as we had arrived just as they had opened. We had a couple of sandwiches and tea for two! The sandwiches were of a very generous size all very fresh and tasty with a side salad. Teapot was huge. The inside decor was of amazing taste and looks stunning. Don't come to Poole Quay very often but would definitely recommend here and will come again in the future. Thanks for your wonderful service today guys. I took a couple of pictures, hope you like them!

Highly recommend! Wide variety of burgers, seafood, and bites, as well as beers and local ciders available. Beware their hot food service ends at 3pm but if you're a few minutes late they're really nice and can make select menu items. Loved the chicken burger here after finishing a long hike from Studland

A food stall at the end of the beach, about a 5min walk. Outdoor seating but sometimes not enough as it gets busy, beware of the gulls!! A great view out over the beach & water. We had a bit of wait because they were flat out. It provides breakfasts up to 11am but you can still buy baguettes. Usual hot n cold drink, & other food, not cheap but you’re paying for the location.
