Took my 4yo here for her first two dentist appointments this year and they were so lovely with her. Gentle and reassuring. Would (and have recommended) to others.

Thanks to all the staff at Alaska House today. Back for a check up after my implant earlier this year and to see the Hygienist. Everyone was as professional and friendly as always and made a special effort to fit me in. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you all.

On my first visit to Alaska house I was seen by Llewellyn Camilla. She made me feel very welcomed and put me at ease straight away. Nicole the Hygienist was really lovely and spoke through every process she was going to be doing. I'm quite a nervous patient so this was nice to have. She also offered me lots of advice on how to keep my gums healthy. She was very lovely and welcoming! My overall experience so far at Alaska house has been very good, everyone at the practice is so welcoming.

During a recent visit to the area, I received urgent dental advice from Dr. Amit, whose kindness and professionalism were exceptional. The Alaska House Dental Team provided such outstanding service that I would join this practice without hesitation if I lived in Blandford Forum.

My experience so far has been amazing. People are lovely and they make you feel like they have the time and patience for you. I'm a nervous person but I feel relaxed so it's a positive experience. I would definitely recommend.

The service was great and the guys are friendly and polite. The coffee was very good, the cafe is very clean and the loo is spotless, I did see the kitchen as someone came out, spotless (yes I’m nosey!) I had the Welsh rarebit I like a stronger cheese and my toast was cold, this is a personal thing, they did ask if it was ok and I said yes! Would I go back yes, would I recommend yes . Would I have Welsh rarebit again no ! The ice cream is delicious and would definitely have again.

Great find! We popped in for a late lunch. We had the classic croque and it was delicious. A great combination of flavours with a lovely dressed side salad and home made coleslaw. A really great cup of coffee too. My sons vanilla milkshake was overflowing with cream and sauce topping! Friendly staff and swift service. Nice clean toilets too. Only slight downside if there is one was that there are a few steps up to the front door which could possibly be an issue for a few customers. Highly recommended café.

Definitely the breakfast 🥞 🍳🥓 gem of Blandford Town. Great coffee ☕️, great service and wonderful food.

I still think about the sourdough sandwich I had here! It was AMAZING! SO delicious. The sourdough they use is such high quality and the girl here was really nice and was happy to take out the mayo and do a tuna/avo sandwich for me. My mum had the cake which she said was great too. Best cafe in the town by far!

Great little place hidden away up a walkway, had a lovely breakfast and sat outside. Didn't need to book even for a Saturday morning, with quick service and lovely staff. Dog friendly and only a few tables but a great selection of foods and drinks to choose from. Will defiantly be going back!

Fantastic service, at 12:30 pm a very helpful lady on the end of the phone was able to recommend a washing machine that fitted all my criteria and the machine was delivered by 4:30 the same afternoon! Four days later and I'm delighted with my new machine it ticks all the boxes and doesn't take forever to complete a wash. Thank you so much. Highly recommend
Rating: 5 / 5
This shop is remarkable. Small on the outside, tardis on the inside; but then, the staff are so knowledgeable and helpful, sometimes you don’t even need to visit! I rang up, explained what we needed, was offered a suitable appliance at a very fair price and the old one to be taken away. I rang at 13.30, the job was completed later that same day! Brilliant service,

My washing machine died on me on Monday. I went to Service Appliances first thing Tuesday morning where a very pleasant and helpful gentleman showed me a good range of machines and explained exactly what each one did. Nothing was too much trouble. By lunch time my new machine had been delivered, installed, tested and the old one taken away. Could not recommend them highly enough.

D.E. Scott Electrical

Excellent service. Highly recommended. Scott DE installed a basement ring main, outside extension to the garage. All work neat and tidy.
Rating: 5 / 5
We had our home EV charger fitted by D.E. Scott Electrical. Here's the summary if you don't want to read the rest: Good customer care, on time, polite and patient. Long story short, without anyone's fault, we had a frustrating problem that turned into a bit of a wait with a refund from their supplier as the main objective. John proved to be professional and patient, even when I was trowing a strop. From email responses to suppliers phone calls and home visits, he did it all. In the end, taking a leaf from his book, I decided to chill and let him deal with the situation for us as he's proven to be patient and capable so far. In other words: "Calm down, be patient, let us deal with this and we'll get it sorted" kind of vibe I got from their team. Great! Admittedly, it took a while for everything to be sorted out, but it's done now. Happy days! I'd rather deal with a company that willl work for me, even having to wait for a while, than with another that just takes my money with no customer care. Thanks again DE Scott, enjoy your coffee guys! ☺️

Excellent. Fast and efficient in an emergency. Husband was away and power tripped out. Couldn’t source problem but their electrician sourced it tonour heating/hotwater system and got straight to work to resolve and make safe and get out power back up and running. Highly recommended

Great service, our electric went off and the trip switch would not come back on. Called 1st class electrical, he was very helpful and arrived within 10 minutes and he found the issue and it was sorted within 30 minutes. Will definitely use again if needed

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.

Dorset Electrical Solutions gave me a quote, turned up on time and did a great job cleaning my panels!
Rating: 5 / 5
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!
Rating: 5 / 5
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.

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

We visited today and was greeted by Debbie. This was our first time doing anything like this she gave us lots of information and instructions. We really enjoyed our afternoon perfect for a rainy day. Also a lovely toffee milkshake was enjoyed between us. Highly recommend for any age. Good prices as well. All round very good experience! :)

A firm favourite place of mine to go , Sophie & her team all have created such a warm & friendly atmosphere of which I have now visited on multiple occasion and brought along family & friends! This place & its people (and dougie (the dog)) have brightened up the town & can’t wait to keep coming back and adding to the collection ! As well as working my way through the tasty treats & drinks !

This was such a lovely way to spend time with my family. We had a great time chatting and creating. Lots of different things to choose from to paint and an excellent array of colours. Prices are very reasonable and we can't wait to see the finished results, which will be posted. I'm sure we'll be back! Thank you.

Just ordered my first takeaway from Pico Pando and I wish I hadn't waited so long to try it. It was absolutely delicious 😋 I was very impressed and will definitely be using them again. Great service, easy parking and fantastic food. Highly recommended 👌
Rating: 5 / 5
Surprised and delighted to find such a place in such a town, although in an unusual industrial unit location (with lots of parking at night). Was so excited, we nearly ordered one of everything and all of it was really good. Will definitely be returning for more. Also happy to see they’re open Sunday nights, and it’s almost impossible to find take-out food in this area on Sunday nights.
Rating: 5 / 5
First and won’t be the last visit to this amazing new take away in Blandford Forum. The order process was simple for a collection order online, the owner and chef really friendly and clearly loves his work. None of us are vegan and my daughter can not eat gluten - so the chilli specifically for this was great. Food was great our guest didn’t even realise it wasn’t actually chicken! Will be back for sure 👌

Delicious all-vegan food - the bao buns were really tasty, as was the teriyaki "beef". Really friendly guy serving the food - plenty of free parking when you go to collect. Highly recommended.

Fantastic food. Ordering was quick and easy, the food was ready when I walked in to collect, and the chef was very welcoming and enthusiastic. There is a good variety of choices available on the menu, and the quality is excellent. I'm looking forward to working my way through the whole menu and becoming a repeat customer!

Had some lovely food here after browsing in the Grainstore emporium. A good selection of homemade cakes and hot drinks, with hot food on offer too. I had the vegan breakfast wrap which I can definitely recommend.
Rating: 5 / 5
So I have been going to the pantry for a few years now, I can honestly say in all that time I have never had a bad meal, not even a mediocre meal, every one has been top notch, at work we see this as the place to go at lunch, pricing is reasonable, for example I have just had a full English, sausage bacon beans mushroom egg toast with a pot of tea for under £10, great value but all good quality local products. It is the place to go
Rating: 5 / 5
Stopped here unexpectedly for brunch. Ordered meaty breakfast wrap and bacon sandwich and 2 coffees. Asked for bacon to be well done and no problem. Everything came out beautifully cooked and very tasty. Only let down were 2 families who deemed it totally acceptable to let their young children run around screaming whilst everyone else was trying to enjoy a nice brunch. Totally ignorant.
Rating: 5 / 5
Wonderful little place to stop for breakfast. Food was tasty and decently priced!
Rating: 5 / 5
My god, this is a find. My husband loved the breakfast wrap and I had the biggest most tasty salad ever, you basically pick from a list to make your perfect salad. It's in an odd place, in an industrial estate, but once you're inside, the atmosphere and layout makes you feel you're in a farm shop. Gentle music, comfy well spaced tables. We will definitely make this a regular visit and add it to our "places" for lunch or coffee and cake.
