The food here is really delicious. I had a “porky burger” which was one of the best burgers I’ve had. The inside is very small with not a lot of seating but they do take away. Unique place in Sherborne but slightly on the pricier side - I think the quality of the food was worth it

Sunday lunch was lovely, 3 sizes available so they accommodate any size appetite, also everything was cooked in small batches so was always fresh. Great knowledge of ingredients so no worries with my food intolerances. A friendly atmosphere. 😊

Łovely garden. Standard pub food. Too much pickled onion in the ploughman's for my taste. Inside decor a bit dated. Lovely location

We had a great visit to the Rose and Crown. The food was delicious. More veggie/vegan options would have been great. Kids were super happy as they got to have a play in the amazing play area. Was a great visit. We'll be back to sample the roast soon I'm sure! Thank you!

Fantasies couple of days. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. Service was impeccable, and they even made up a small plate for me as I don't eat much. The food is amazing, and the chef is very talented. The bed was very comfy and the rooms were beautifully decorated . Had the most amazing massage in the spa, which was very inviting and relaxing. Definitely recommended. The receptionist was very friendly and welcomed any feedback we had. 5 stars.

What an amazing hotel. Top marks to all the staff who are very professional, helpful and friendly. Fantastic room with a kitchenette which makes life so much easier. A great selection for breakfast, including cooked and cold options. Definitely deserves the five stars.

This was my first visit and I was very impressed. Lovely decor, very light and airy. Comfortable chairs Nd lots of room on the tables. I had a full English breakfast which was fabulous and hot! We went for my son's birthday and when the server realised he brought out some muffins with 'Happy Birthday' written in chocolate on the plate which was a lovely touch. The service was excellent, the young man was really friendly and helpful as was the receptionist when we arrived. We had my three year old Granddaughter with us and they were very accommodating, we could choose anything from the breakfast menu in a child size portion. I will definitely visit again and recommend.

I’ve visited this hotel many times, and it’s always a treat. The food is simply delicious – every meal feels crafted with care. The spa offers a wonderful range of treatments that leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, perfect for a bit of pampering. The rooms are cozy and comfortable, making it easy to settle in and relax. Plus, it’s dog-friendly, which makes it a perfect getaway for the whole family, furry friends included! The best part, though, is the staff – they are so helpful and welcoming, always going the extra mile to make every stay feel special. Highly recommended!

Short but sweet visit. Great food and drink. Nice and quiet when I went, just what I wanted. Second visit, I had the full boatman. What a treat! I'm sure I ended up with a full tin of plum tomatoes! There's a huge choice on the menu, including lots of choice of what items to have for your breakfast. Great service. They prefer payment up front, which is fair enough these days.

A really lovely canal-side setting and great food. I had breakfast here which was very nice indeed. Parking is available nearby but if on a motorbike you can pull down the lane next to the cafe.

Gorgeous place right on the river, lots of indoor and outdoor seating. We went for breakfast, great portions and quality. Staff were rally friendly. I can imagine this place being a lovely place to come in the warmer months, sat outside having a cold one. I recommend a stop over here if ur passing.

A nice place to come and watch the world go by, barges come along the river often and by the cafe there are Canadian canoes that can be hired fir6a small fee. When I stopped here I had ice-cream which I highly recommend for the hot summery day's and very tastey too. Lots of seating here.

This is a lovely place right on the canal. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and there were plenty of tables available on our visit. We really enjoyed our food, the children portions were quite large which made the lad happy. Definitely worth a visit on a sunny day.

Huge muscles in a nicely balanced blue cheese cream sauce. The fish chowder was also lovely, great tasting fish and fresh veg. We enjoyed on a wet and windy day, outside seating had heaters which warmed us up nicely. Would recommend after a walk.

We arrived at 11.20, just in time to order breakfast. We were lucky to get the table on the edge of the 'tent' overlooking the beach. Despite being quite busy we received very efficient service. The food arrived within 15- 20 min, then our hot drinks. We had 3 x full English and egg Benedict on muffin with bacon. Everyone enjoyed it. The only nuisance were a few wasps but not a lot to spoil our experience.

Camping at Freshwater holiday park, a 20 minute walk to visit this gem of a place. Busy and bustling restaurant, great menu, food was outstanding and the service was great too. Dog friendly aswell, all in all, will definitely be returning soon.

This is a well loved beach cafe which has beautiful scenic views, it is very popular and rightly so. The menu is mainly fish and seafood dishes. However, they do a smashing full English breakfast up to 11.30 am. I will post pics. This dog friendly beach cafe has a carpark close by, but if you choose to walk along the cliff top path or the lower paths, you will walk within the most beautiful scenery. This is a totally table service venue, so once you are seated, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the view. Prices are reasonable.

Came here today, after walking from our campsite at Graston Copse through Burton Bradstock village. A warm welcome by a member of staff & shown to our outside table for 4 with 3 dogs. Our waitress took our drinks order & returned after a few minutes to take our food order. She was very friendly and attentive, giving time for a chat despite being extremely busy. Wait for our food was minimal and when it arrived it was hot, tasty & well presented. Back ground music was pleasant, giving the Mediterranean feeling due to the sunshine. Wouldn't hesitate in returning if we are in the area again .... thank you.

I have visited before but only for coffee . We had a fantastic lunch of monkfish parpadelle and also tuna melt with salad. Monkfish tasted delicious as did the tuna. The whole menu looked very inviting. It was difficult to choose! Really great value and very filling! Sat upstairs which was lovely and quiet and relaxed. It's an interesting old building too. Definitely a good choice if you are visiting Sherborne for any reason.

Lovely little cafe on the main high street that offers a wide selection dishes of top quality. The risotto and hake dishes were superb and the panacotta desert was very yummy indeed! Excellent quality produce and would highly recommend.

Firstly the food is always delicious, lemon cake to die for and the service is always fabulous and friendly. Myself and my teen daughter have been in quite a few times recently with our puppy and the staff are always lovely and attentive. Today I had an unfortunate experience with another customer, our puppy got a bit upset when my daughter went to the toilet and was whimpering and barked a few times. I tried my best to comfort him and calm him down and turned to the table behind me to apologise and the lady was extremely rude and told me I shouldn’t be in a cafe with the puppy then continued to moan and grumble about it to her husband so that I could hear. Having had a bad few days and being unwell, I got quite upset and was going to leave because I was feeling so anxious. The staff came over to me and were really lovely and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and found us another table, and checked on me multiple times to make sure I was okay and comfort me. So thank you to the staff, we will be back, along with Milo the puppy.

The BEST hollandaise sauce I have had in years, rich and creamy. I had almost written off eggs benedict as I was fed up with vinegary sauce and had all but decided I had imagined how yummy it was when I was a child. My faith is restored!! The staff were lovely and friendly too. Definitely a treasure!

Heatwave came to fit my new kitchen and bathroom. Process was made very simple from start to finish. The engineers that we have had on site have all been really polite, on time and kept our house tidy throughout. Friendly and helpful office team, would definitely recommend.

I have been very pleased with the service from this company, both for a boiler service and some plumbing jobs. This includes the admin team, who were easy to deal with and kept me fully informed, through to the service engineer and the plumbers, who were polite, worked well, kept me informed of the work done and altogether professional. I would not hesitate to recommend this company.

Very positive experience in replacing our boiler. Nick, the boss supervised everything extremely well. Paul, the engineer was very efficient and easy to deal with and then Mac did a really good job in the boxing in. We would highly recommend them.

Perfect day out with our grandson was made even more special by the beautiful food and lovely staff at Olivers. The clean counter was packed with fresh patisseries and we were pleased to see a selection of hot savoury food too because we were all hungry. The food was piping hot and I ordered egg salad/bacon on my jacket potato which was light and tasty and most importantly, the potato was not soggy and limp, but browned with a baked taste! The pecan slice was the best I have EVER eaten! Buttery shortbread and large, fresh pecans dripping in sauce! Extremely friendly staff - we will definitely go back.

We stopped here for lunch on our way to Swanage. We enjoyed a ploughman's lunch (my daughter's) and a Greek salad for me. Both were well presented and delicious. Service was good too. However, the icing on the cake for me was bumping into someone that I had been at school with a very long time ago. It's a shame that our lovely school is now closed. The reminiscence of schooldays so long ago was a great experience.

Milton Abbas is well off the beaten track. It is very Dorset in its feel and nature. Surrounded by farmland and forest. No street lights to speak of and really quiet. At the moment the village is hosting some amazing wooden horse sculptures. Thatched roofs and a wide main street make this a picture postcard village in the heart of rural Dorset. It actually gets properly dark here. Not that you would know any of that from inside this pub. Beautifully appointed inside, really well taken care of with a staff team who are friendly and professional. Great selection of drinks and food alongside regular entertainment and events. You can elect to stay here as well as there are rooms on the first floor. I did not stay this time but I am planning to. If you can find it you will not regret your efforts.
