Hadn't been here for a while, but will definitely go back again soon. We both had the Irish beef and Guinness stew with mash and warm chunky bread. It was amazing. It was very filling but still found room for the crumble and custard. Host very welcoming and friendly atmosphere. A real country pub.

Beautiful location, easy parking. Relaxing and a warm welcome with a good ambience. Service was okay, along with food which was home cooked and a nice selection. I would definitely return

Had an absolutely delicious lunch here today, liver, bacon and onions for me and a steak and ale pie off of the specials menu for my husband. Lovely atmosphere and really friendly staff, we will certainly be back, next time we will hopefully have room for a pudding as they to sounded delicious. Thank you.

Food was lovely, it’s my second time going. First I can say was better than the second. Unfortunately a gentleman got ill so I felt the attention to diners was taken away. Waiter wasn’t into it (obviously flapping about gentleman) and food (Pie) came out with tough pastry. Didn’t really get a chance to say owt as plates were whisked away. Service was definitely slow but we understood why. Just didn’t feel we got what we paid for food wise.

Came in here to try as we notice it was new and we had a lovely time. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the layout was very pretty. I had the shakshuka which was 9/10 just the poached egg wasn’t cooked great and the tomato base was a little bland but otherwise really enjoyed. It was a bit of a shame to see people on their laptops as it really takes the vibe away from the cafe of people chatting. These two small things are the only reason for not 5 stars. My mum had smashed avo with butternut squash and it was GORG beautifully presented and tasted amazing. Drinks were very lovely as well. It’s great to see an up and coming place and it’s understandable for there to be minor teething issues but we will definitely be back to try the rest of the very interesting and creative menu. Thank you!!

very lovely new addition to Wimborne, decorated beautifully and the atmosphere is nice and chilled out. Really appreciate that brunch is served all day and the food was fresh and super tasty! I do prefer just plain old beans to the shakshuka pot offering but that’s me being boring. The cinnamon roll latte special was delish too. Staff really welcoming and friendly. Will definitely be back to try more menu options :) thank you !

Lovely breakfast here. Great vibe, friendly staff and food was quick and so tasty. Great flavours and different items on menu. Love the decor and loyalty scheme too. Plus free coffee with brunch!

Came here for some breakfast. The full breakfast was really enjoyable. Whilst they don’t serve beans (which would’ve been better) they do serve a Shakshouka which was still a nice alternative. The menu is varied and offers a nice change from the usual breakfast spots in Wimborne. The coffee was also very fresh and quite nice. But quite pricey, but they do offer a less costly option. Service was friendly and quick. It would be nice to be able to order at the table instead of the bar but that’s just a nitpick. The overall atmosphere was nice. I’d recommend booking as it did get quite busy.

We went for the carvery last minute and Mick found a way to fit us in! So my advice is book ahead, it gets busy. Mick was absolutely wonderful, chatted with my niece and it was lovely for someone to make the effort as she is very chatty. The carvery was delicious and the kids sausage and mash was a really good portion!

Went for a 2 course Christmas dinner on a Wednesday lunch time. The starters were delicious. The mushrooms on toast were a very generous portion for a starter. We opted for the carvery which had a large choice of vegetables to accompany. The meat was nice and juicy, the vegetables were all done except for the cauliflower cheese which was very overcooked. Otherwise, the meal was fine, the staff were accommodating and would recommend it for a nice carvery lunch.

My mother is local and eats here often with friends and family. We eat there on Tuesday 26th November and we're served and entertained by Mick. He made my mother laugh and feel at ease. Food and service were excellent. Thank you to Mick and his team, we shall be back.

Extremely satisfying to see an establishment offering such good value for money. We visit this place about once a month as friends and I visit the Brisge House with my husband about once a month to have the carvery. Fantastic value for money, it is a pity that other local eateries do not seem to adopt a similar business model. They seem to be busy at the Bridge House, each and every time I visit. Very pleasant service, excellent choice of vegetables and three types of meat are offered at the carvery. Super happy to be visiting this place, a really great value for money. We shall be back very soon. Thank you.

We were there for lunch. 5 adult and 1 children. Staff are friendly and helpful. Lovely restaurant. Lunch came with salad and a main (pasta/ pizza , many options!) . It was 55gbp per person. This is the best cost per value restaurant we ever had in the UK. Booking is advised as they could be very full.

Staying at The 1777 Albion and ordered a takeaway pizza! It was incredible, lovely base, sauce, heaps of cheese, nice pepperoni, just wish it had been cut, with having no cutlery in the room.. but still managed to finish it like a caveman with quite literally only a teaspoon for my tool 🤣

Really nice store, we like to look at the Christmas display which just gets better and better each year. Stopped in the cafe/restaurant which had a good selection of light bites, snacks all the way up to a full carvery roast. Food and drink was hot, plentiful, tasty and reasonably priced. Good selection of plants and garden accessories Great place to purchase gifts, books clothing etc, with plenty of ample parking places, disabled spaces too. It does get busy here, which shows it popularity. Go and have a look, you won't be disappointed.

Great place to shop and eat. It’s a garden centre with everything you would expect these days and they do it well. We went in for lunch. There are so many options. From sandwiches and salads to jacket potatoes and soups or even a pizza or carvery! We had Jacket Potatoes with cheese and beans. The member of staff preparing it was extremely helpful and allowed me to have butter added to the jacket before adding the cheese and beans. Side salad with coleslaw accompanied it. It’s a huge portion and tasted great. The atmosphere is nice. It is noisy though so if you don’t like the background noise maybe choose a quiet time. I did drop it down a star due to an employee that was rude but it was busy and maybe I caught them at the wrong time. Definitely worth a trip.

Had a pre-Xmas Sunday get together and the venue and staff were absolutely awesome - would have scored them a 5 but the veg was too sparse on all the roasts (albeit they did bring us more when asked) and what should have been the absolute bomb of a dessert didn’t quite hit the mark as the sauce to melt the rock hard chocolate case hadn’t been heated up. Will definitely return - it’s a fab venue, with fab staff and food 👍👍

We visited on Christmas day and had an absolutely amazing lunch. The service by the restaurant and bar staff was fantastic and every detail had been thought about to make a special meal on Christmas day that bit more memorable. The table looked beautiful and the rustic bread on arrival and a Christmas card was a lovely touch, the main courses were delicious - I had the traditional turkey roast and the meat was spot on! A big thank you to Katie, Bridie, Sophie and the rest of the team who all looked after us so well and really made a it a Christmas Day to remember.

We ordered a takeaway from here after visiting for lunch last week (which was great! Fab food and service). Large choice of menus, if you can’t find something you like….id be confused! Ordered the roast pork, my partner had the trio. Wow, so tasty! Everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Had to change an option through the phone as I had an allergy and the staff were beyond helpful. Will defo recommend to my friends!

Reserved a table for 6, for their XMas 'festive menu'. Service was friendly, food was served pretty promptly. Generally everyone really enjoyed their food - only feedback was veggies were a bit hard. Atmosphere is pretty cosy, ... would recommend for an XMas visit.

One of the best atmospheres in Lounges that I've experienced. Almost all tables were full with flolk enjoying themselves. I had a potato bravas and a Hofmeister for £11.40. Served by enthusiastic Ethan who has good knowledge of the brand. I might return in the summer.

Price of a pint of ale, Abbot/Doom Bar etc around £2.88. Place was packed, service was excellent and the food arrived quickly. For the price, around £10 on average including pint, you really can't complain. Definitely recommend!

A lot busier than the Night Jar in the neighbouring town of Ferndale. I ordered from the table, (because no bar service at the moment) a pint of Shipyard for £2.49. Some nice pieces on the wall (see photos). Certainly worth a visit 👍

We visited the Fox & Hounds today with family (5 of us) for an early festive meal and were not disappointed! Our first visit in over 40 years and the whole place has been re-decorated and fitted out to a very high standard while keeping the nice warm & traditional feel an establishment like this deserves. We were greeted and well looked after throughout by their friendly staff. We all made selections from the festive menu and the food was well prepared and presented and very tasty. The location is brilliant for us when getting together with family so we will certainly be returning.

The pub is under new management. Decent sized car park. Despite signs at the entrance warning you to register your car at reception or risk a penalty charge, you no longer have to do that. Perhaps they should take the signs down? We pre-booked over the telephone and this was doing using an AI program. Sat in the corner of the large dining space which was well lit. A few candles dotted around for "atmosphere ". Drinks order was taken immediately and soon arrived. Abbot Ale was fine. Food was fairly quickly ordered with a wait as the kitchens were busy. Meal arrived in good order. Steak and Ale pie was heavy on gravy light on meat. Nevertheless a proper plateful. The manager was keen to point out a new dogs' garden facility he had just created. Would I go again? Yes.

Dog friendly with a large enclosure for your dog to run around in, there is water and toys for them to enjoy. The food is lovely and well presented we had a family birthday party there with two pets and was given an area at the Saied because of the dogs or we can go outside.. I felt it may have been slightly understaffed as it took awhile to clear our plates apart from that we enjoyed our visit and loved the dog enclosure (even the dog treats they gave us)
