Lovely little place. Friendly staff. Generous servings. The savoury options are great but the desert options are out of this world.

Nice and yummy pastries. Sausage roll was good and so was the pulled pork with apple sauce. Had them toasted and as takeaway and ate them by the water! Will come back to try out their sweeter options.

We had such a lovely time at the model village and gardens. My first ever model village! It's very impressive. Can't imagine all the work that has gone in to it. You can see the love! Was really good to have it be dog friendly too and they both had a lot of fun too.

We had a lovely day here yesterday. The Castle is part of the National Trust which can be a bit pricey for non-members unless you can find a free pass offer on line. For 2 adults and a child was £30. Under 5's get in for free and unfortunately no senior citizen discount but it was still a jolly day out. The staff were so friendly, and they had set up a teddy bear zip line for the children with a Bravery certificate to be had on exit. We loved exploring the castle grounds. The views and the tranquil sounds of the river were an amazing experience and a perfect place to sit and enjoy our packed lunch (there is a cafe by the entrance). We were also lucky to get a good view of the steam train passing by.

Wonderful little place. We didn't eat here but the setting is wonderful for an afternoon tea. Loved the little walkways through the garden, with things to spot everywhere.
Rating: 5 / 5
We love it here as it is dog friendly and a wonderful escape from the busy village. The coffee is always great. This time my husband had a cream tea and I had coffee and walnut cake, both were fresh and tasty. The garden is so beautiful and well kept, and the miniature village is adorably quirky. A definite visit if you're in the area.

Such a lovely garden with an amazing view of the castle. Service is friendly and quick. We had drinks, chips and other nibbles but have had meals before and the food always tastes delicious and freshly prepared and the prices are very reasonable, especially for the level of quality. A visit here is a must for us when in Corfe.

This is a special place. It has all of the atmosphere, the charm, the history, the people, the food you are looking for. Magical lower patio. Had a sunset dinner with a lovely view of Corte Castle. You won’t do better.
Rating: 4 / 5
Had a couple of good value meals here. Very prompt service, though recommended to make reservations for meals as it's a very busy place. The cheese sauce on the cauliflower needed to be cooked out for longer, and the base of the huge batter pudding was slightly doughy, otherwise really good and substantial meals.
Rating: 5 / 5
Lovely pub, a stones throw from Corfe Castle, which serves an excellent quality Sunday lunch until 8pm ... booking advised, it's very popular! You can get a table for anytime in the afternoon to allow you a good day out doing whatever you want first. The meat is bought locally and the gravy was amazing 👏🏻 lovely big garden. Highly recommended

Gorgeous cream tea after a visit to Corfe Castle! Staff even brought a dog water bowl to the table for Maxipoos. Stunning view of the castle as you dine.
Rating: 4 / 5
Cosy establishment outside Corfe Castle. The cream tea was very reasonably priced at £6.55 and consisted of a choice of plain or fruit scone, a hot drink, ready made jam and cream. You have to order at the front desk and the tea took around 7 minutes to arrive. We also ordered a cheese scone which was delicious and I would highly recommend it to combat the sweetness of the jam and fruit scone. Hot and cold sandwiches are also available after 12pm as well as gluten free options. The tea room had a homely vibe with a wood burning fire perfect to quell a brisk winters day. Note that seating is limited so it’s best to arrive early to avoid waiting. Dress code: casual Cost: £ Service: very efficient Ambience: cosy

Incredibly friendly staff, quick service and cheap prices. The food was lovely and they were holding a donation fundraiser for an all terrain wheelchair which is a great cause. I’d definitely recommend the scones with honey and cream, see picture. A nice place to go to as it’s right next to Corfe castle

Rating: 4.4 (444) Price Level:
Had a late lunch (family of 9) and the staff were attentive and the food was fantastic!! I don't think we could pick our favourite between the Basket of Seafood, Fancy Finger Sandwich and the Trio of Fish!! Great portions and perfectly cooked. The restaurant was also child friendly, and had a fantastic exhibition on Swanage Pier attached to alongside it, so it kept fidgety little ones busy while the food arrived.
Rating: 5 / 5
What a great sample menu. Everything was fantastic. The lamb was cooked perfectly. Will definitely be back again to try more of the menu. Great to see some new evening food in Swanage and a view of the sea and Swanage lights too.

Beautiful selection of cakes. Perfect place to sit outside for lunch. We enjoyed a toastie each. One of them Ham & Cheese the other Cheese & Onion. The quality of raw white onion in the cheese & onion toastie was a little too much. Will def return for a breakfast and some cake!

Lovely scrambled eggs and smoked salmon brunch. Nice and airy cafe, right on the quay and close to the shops. Would definitely return
Rating: 5 / 5
Tried this cafè for the first time on my last visit to Poole and what a place! Had the smoked salmon sandwich and a smoothe and they both were delicious. Very interesting menu, lots of soups, paninis, hot and cold drinks, great atmosphere and good service too. I will definitely be coming back!

Brilliant! First time was epic! Lots of people everywhere, great atmosphere and the food came so quickly...... And was amazing! Probably one of the top five breakfasts I've ever had. Second time: fish and chips... Sadly, the fish was mostly batter😯, but still acceptable. Definitely, worth a visit as the setting is spot on 👍

Rating: 4 / 5
Our experience at the Old Granary left us with mixed emotions and sadly we won't return. this was our third lunch here and we were excited to bring a good friend with us. We are not local to the area and had not vistied on a Saturday before. On our arrival we were surprised to find that the parking area was filled with a market and we had no idea where we could park. We pulled over and our guest popped in to enquire as to where we could find parking. He was met by a frosty unhelpful lady who shrugged and said she didn't know, and by her attitutude she didn't care either. Fortunately when stopping the gentleman also assiting at front of house, some directions to parking were proferred. The first impression for our guest though was not what we had hoped for. Our table was in a loud and busy area, which would have made it impossible for conversation, something to note when making your booking. Fortunately, and a plus on the service experience, we were able to be seated in a quieter area. The Old Granary is an attractively detailed pub and we liked the decor. Issey, our server was fabulous. Great smile, engaging and she rescued the lunch on the whole. Food wise, we had the Larder sharing platter which was well presented and tasty, classic fish and chips, the chicken and bacon pie, and the sirloin. The sirloin was not the best and quite pricey even for steak, and was a bit of a disappointment. After a rainy day the sun evetually broke through the clouds and we wanted to take advantage of the deck area alongside the river for a drink and dessert. As requested duly settled our account and headed outside with our drinks, I popped inside for a menu to be told by front of house that because of the weather no food was being served outside, not even dessert. This was in case the rain returned and we needed to come inside and tables were not available. It was late afternoon, between sittings with many empty tables, and when settling our lunch bill I had stated we wanted to have dessert outside and was told that this would not be a problem. We were a table of 3 an our bill was about £50per person... Overall not very hospitable, and not what we expected from our previous lunches a disappointing end to our afternoon.

Lovely pub/restaurant set next to the river in Wareham. Good selection of local beers with staff very nice and friendly. Food is plentiful and good quality. Visited out of season, but suspect gets very busy other times, so best to book.
Rating: 5 / 5
Wandered in on a grey Sunday afternoon not expecting too much, and maybe not even expecting there to be any space! We sat outside next to the river which was really nice. Surprisingly good set of vegan options including burger and salad and the Beetroot Wellington (pictured) as a vegan roast option. Good selection of beers too. Sadly too full for pudding
Rating: 4 / 5
The food was nice and really hot, the staff were friendly and polite but the service was really slow. We do like a bit a break between courses, but this was just a bit too long. It was really busy, so I think it would be fair to say it's probably better at less popular times. The pub itself is in a lovely setting right next to the river. Prices are quite high, £35/person with 2 soft drinks. We would return, so I guess that speaks for itself, and the fact a busy place is a good place. Cleanliness also very good. 😛👍

Fantastic dentist. First dentist in a very long time, infact many years. I was nervous but if I could leave 10 gold starts I would. 3x tooth extraction without any pain. It only took a few minutes with ease. Also kind and very friendly 😊 thank you so much x

I had an amazing dental appointment with Mydentist Wareham! Dr. George's professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail were evident throughout my visit. He took the time to thoroughly explain every step of the procedure and answered all my questions with patience. I highly recommend Dr. George Ioja to anyone looking for dental treatments!

Was impressed with the service and the pressure they are under with NHS client's. Had to wait extra 20 mins pass my appointment time. The lady Fani wasn't there, I seen a man. He was great and went the extra mile. Very grateful to him. He give me good advice. Surgery was bright and clean. Receptionist were both very friendly and welcoming 🙏. Apart writing the wrong name on my prescription and pharmacy wouldn't accept it and had go back get a new one with my name on. Good job I went to the chemist in Wareham and not at my home.

Haven't been to the Dentist for alot of years so went private at My Dentist in Wareham. Saw Fani, and she's great with patients who are slightly nervous and the experience was excellent. Had filing and going back for 2more. Would definitely recommend her. Seen Hygienist too and she was very good. Am happy they are now my regular dentists.

Visited The Kitchen yesterday for the first time since it reopened and wow! This place has had so much potential for years, yet I feel it was never used appropriately. With a new General Manager in place and now a much more friendly team of staff this place seems to be buzzing already and there were limited seats when we turned up. I had the Fish in a Bun which was bloody delicious and there was no faults from any of us on our table. With the weather on the change and the evenings getting lighter this is just a perfect spot. Well done to Jack and the team for turning this place around!

Poor selection of cakes but they are nice enough. Also, do real hot savoury food, but ONLY in the summer! It's winter now (they say) so coffee and cakes only.
