Had an evening meal which was good value and delicious. The best steak I've had in a very long time. Sticky toffee pudding was great too although could have done with an extra blob of ice-cream given how large the portion was.

Lovely place to stay, the rooms are situated in a very quaint building above a small shop. The room was up a steep staircase so not suitable if you are unable to climb stairs. But the view from the room was lovely, the room itself was small but clean and tidy with tea making facilities. The pub itself was lovely with very friendly staff who were happy to help in any way, the food both in the evening band at breakfast was great. Thank you to all

I had lunch there today with my sister. She had beef rib and I had the ham, egg and chips. Both were delicious. The chips were the best I've had in a long time. Service was good and staff were quick to clear and wipe down tables.

Visit this place every time I'm in Wareham. Good selection of drinks, good menu and lovely staff. Outside seating and right by the river. Tonight was steak night. Quality meat, well presented and you cook it yourself to your liking. Loved the chips and salad. Staff were very busy but outstanding in service and very friendly.

Had a meal here on a day out to Wareham. Very friendly staff and good atmosphere. I had a very tasty falafel burger with a glass of Dorset cider, which tasted like real cider! I would recommend.

Fabulous place, food amazing. Stumbled upon this pub during a long drive home. Lovely place, service was good but think the lady could smile lol. Spoke like she didn't want to serve happy when with colleagues haha. That's the only reason for deducting a star on service. Had a lamb burger and chips. Wow best chips ever, so thick, crispy on outside and fluffy on inside. Burger tasted homemade. Sounded expensive on ordering but my goodness it was eoth every penny.

Food was excellent, with a good selection for those with allergies. Fish and chips was huge. The flat bread was a little disappointing though in comparison to the other mains. Still good though!

Really good food. We have been the last 2 weekends, and had the fish and chips both times and has been consistently excellent. The service is polite, friendly and efficient. There are 2 car parks providing plenty of free parking. They have a very generous outside area with plenty of seating too.

An excellent, well presented pub with superb food and very friendly staff. What more do you need?? The menu is a nice balance of staples and really imaginative dishes. The crispy chicken with chilli starter was amazing and the chargrilled chicken with chorizo was fabulous. The ham, egg and chips was probably the best I have had anywhere, a simple dish prepared very well with good ingredients. We will be back

Very fresh selection of seafood. Generous portions too. Had the white bait, the cod fish and chips as well as the mussels. Very impressed by the freshness and quality. Batter for the cod is very light and crisp. The cod was delicious and had the right texture, and ratio of cod:batter. The black mussels were very sweet and I enjoyed it very much when paired with fresh bread. Service was very organised. All in all a great experience and I’d definitely bring my friends here when we drive down to the south coast again.

It was amazing. The dinner was really yummy. Huge portion, we had the steal & ale pie with chips and veggies. The meat was sooo tender, juicy and full of flavour. We stayed for one night in the little rooms they have in their fields. Very cozy and cute. Clean toilets and the shower was working really well. A nice warm bath after a hike to the beach. Breakfast was included, a nice english breakfast. I loved the sausages, very flavourfull. We had some tea or a coffee plus the Orange juice. I asked the staff if we could feed the pigs some apples that were in the floor and she said yes, very cute piggies! The staff is very kind and helpfull.

What a wonderful experience visiting the Seven Stars Inn Wool, Moreton, Dorchester restaurant. The food was first class cooked with love and care by a really good head chef and his brigade. Couldn't fault the food in any way what so ever good flavours, textures and presented very well. A really great dining experience which I will remember for a long time. The front of house staff very very friendly, professional providing a great service to compliment the kitchen Definitely worthy of a 5 star review and I would definitely recommend visiting this wonderful restaurant and I hope I will be back here myself.

I recently visited the Seven Stars Inn, and it was an absolutely delightful experience! The staff and their service were outstanding, making me feel truly welcomed with their warmth and attentiveness. I ordered a chicken curry meal, chips, and wings as a takeaway, and as an Indian, I was amazed by the flavors—it was so delicious that I almost fell in love with the food. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for amazing hospitality paired with excellent cuisine!

Can't comment on the food (though it looked absolutely exquisite on the table opposite). Classic local pub. Great service, lovely customers and atmosphere with good drinks. I'm a local and come here fairly often. Would always recommend.

From the outset, I'm a fussy eater, so no veg was required. They said they'd meet this and I asked for extra roast potatoes please, using the words 'lots' and reiterating several times. I was a little disappointed when it arrived. I 'should' have asked for Yorkshire puddings, it slipped my mind not having beef. The food was good, but pub was full so had to eat in the very busy beer garden. The wind was strong, the wasps a real nuisance. I was checked on, I should have asked for more, but was busy batting wasps away and just wanted to leave at that point. Wasps not pubs fault. I enjoyed what I had.

Truly amazing!!! Very helpful staff and were very welcoming of us. Menu was very varied even though it was stripped back due to Covid. Well priced food and drinks plus they stocked Purbeck cider which is a winner for me. The Mrs had lasagne which was fresh and tasty and the boy had kids fresh battered fish and chips, all sublime.

Excellent Indian restaurant in Wareham. All the dishes were extremely scrumptious. Loved the sea food platter - the salmon fish and tiger prawns are a must have! The Kerala prawns main course dish was also a delight. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the Dorset area.

This Indian-Nepalese restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment I walked in, the warm, inviting ambiance and friendly staff made me feel right at home. The menu is a perfect blend of traditional Indian and Nepali flavors, offering a delightful variety of dishes to satisfy any palate. The *butter chicken* was rich, creamy, and perfectly spiced, while the *momos* (Nepalese dumplings) were simply out of this world – tender, flavorful, and served with a deliciously tangy dipping sauce. The spices were just right, balancing heat and flavor without overpowering the dish. The service was impeccable, with the staff going out of their way to ensure we had a fantastic dining experience. They were knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations and ensuring we had everything we needed. Whether you're a fan of Indian cuisine or looking to try something new with a Nepali twist, this place is an absolute must-visit. I can’t wait to return and try more of their incredible offerings. Highly recommended

We went for the Autumn lunch menu in the Garden Room to celebrate my wife's birthday. The moment we stepped inside we were greeted as old friends and this was our first visit! The lunch was superb and the service exceptional. The Priory Hotel should have at least 4 Rosettes. They deserve it. We shall be back since it is the best restaurant in Dorset.

The most perfect stay at The Priory - I cannot recommend this beautiful hotel enough. The service provided was impeccable (attention to detail has been better than a few Michelin star restaurants we have visited) the food was absolutely delicious, we had afternoon tea which was sublime and breakfast on our balcony one morning which was wonderful, the rooms are stunning and the little details like getting a newspaper delivered in the morning is quite lovely. The grounds are also immaculately kept. It is not my first time visiting the priory and certainly won’t be my last, highly recommended! You will not be disappointed.

We went for lunch to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The staff were incredible. Great service and very knowledgeable about the grounds. Christian made us a strong, but very tasty negroni cocktail (as it was Negroni week being celebrated around the world). Food was wonderfully presented and tasted delicious. I couldn't fault it. Beautiful location. Thank you for making our day a bit more special.

Nice pub restaurant not been in a longtime. 3 stars you may say not good, (3 is my new 5) as we all give 5stars for good food and service, which this was did they go above and beyond, yes they did so let’s make it 4 stars. I’ve given 4 because they were busy and had a lot of reservations all but the skittle alley was full, Nigel said they were busy and the only place they could accommodate us was the skittle alley. Food came out hot and well presented. Only negative because we were stuck out the way the table wasn’t cleared away before desserts. See you again.

We had a skittles party and were in the side room. This was great but there wasn't enough staff for the busyness of the pub. We had to join long queues for a drink in the main very busy pub instead of using the bar hatch in the games room which interrupted the play of the games. The food was good value for money and the staff were friendly and helpful. They also had a little outdoor play park for young children. Definitely recommend this establishment for family gatherings.

I can’t express to everyone how amazing this place is , we as a family of 5 was so looked after by the staff , the older gentleman at the bar is just the most amazing person, the two younger girls also couldn’t do more to help , looking at this from the outside point it’s almost a if they want to make the customers happy “ which they do with pure ease “ but on the other hand you can see how well looked after the staff are and how they don’t like to over run them , which is so beautiful to see , we booked twice over two days we loved it that much , until next time !! Thank you once again xx

Amazing food, Amazing ambience and Great service. There was no waiting time, even though the place was filled on a Wednesday morning 10am. Great bunch of ppl running the place. The cowshed breakfast was a delight. The hash browns was one of the best i have tried in UK. Overall, it is highly recommended.

We had a baby shower for my sister at The Cow Shed in their Barn area on Saturday, and it was perfect - everything we had hoped for! The staff were so helpful, both in the lead-up to the event and on the actual day. The barn itself is really picturesque, which was perfect for photos. We opted for a cream tea with both sweet and savory scones, and it was lovely. We paid per head for drinks, which guests could get from the private bar as and when they wished. There was plenty of room for games ect too. We couldn't recommend it more. We had the most special afternoon celebrating our new arrival with family and friends. A big thank you to The Cow Shed Team 🤍

Had the pleasure of visiting here last Sunday we arrived just after 10 and there were already quite a few people here. Offered seating inside or out, we ordered coffees which were very good and then I chose the homemade granola bowl which was absolutely delicious (it was also huge!) my husband chose the Mexican open flatbread which looked amazing, which he said was really good. Lovely friendly staff. Highly recommended.

First visit to the restaurant. I was very impressed with our server, who suggested we could move to the adjacent barn where it would be leas noisy. He was right. It was😎. Food quality was excellent. Also, I was very impressed with the general cleanliness. Toilets were immaculate. I would definitely recommend this place. 👍

a really good Italian restaurant! Me and my girlfriend went out eating tonight and had a great time. The team and the food was amazing I recommend it to anyone it’s a better alternative than the old granary or the quay INN in my opinion! Also recommend to book a table instead of just walking in in the evening

The Italian Kitchen is the perfect spot to dine and unwind. They serve stunning, high-quality food at great prices. The service is impeccable—every staff member is helpful, attentive, and genuinely happy to assist. We’ve loved every meal we’ve ever had there. They even serve homemade bread while you wait for your starter or main course, which is a lovely touch. Whether it’s for a date night or a corporate works meal, The Italian Kitchen never disappoints. The quality has never faltered or wavered—it’s truly the best Italian restaurant we’ve ever experienced. We highly recommend a visit! Would recommend the squid starter, spicy nduja pizza's and the creamy tuscan chicken are some of our personal favourites!
