Great little pub a mate and I stumbled across, fantastic selection of beers and ciders. We haven’t eaten here yet but the menu looked excellent and the place had a great “Pub” feel to it. Will definitely be returning.

the roast was lovely. I had a great roast partridge and my partner had beef. The landlord (Mark) was very welcoming. the bar is a "no mobile zone" so no one at the bar can use the phone. so very much like back in the days! staff were really helpful and friendly!

I arrived as a visitor from Plymouth to play at the Sunday afternoon folk session. I was immediately impressed with the warm welcome I received. The landlord was excellent at organising the venue shifting furniture etc at the same time providing cheerful banter. The real ale was wonderfully kept (I had a few tastings to check!). This would be a regular haunt if it were down the road but a little far from my home patch!

I went to play darts there last night, first time ever going in. The staff were friendly, and there was a nice relaxed atmosphere. I decided to try the Czech beer they had on tap, it was really quite nice. They do food although I didn't check the menu. The dart board is good although a little cramped with the low ceiling. They have a TV which I watched the women's World Cup match on. All in all I had a very pleasant night.

We had a family Sunday roast here the weekend before last. The staff were perfect! Attentive but not too much, the food was lovely by far the best roast we have had put in a long time and we eat out most Sundays.

We visited today, Sunday without a booking and were grateful to be seated next to the window in the main bar. The Sunday lunches were excellent; we had two.meals, beef and pork. The choice and portions of veg were excellent and the meats on both of our plates were succulent and tender. The front of house team was kept busy but were polite, attentive and efficient throughout. A most enjoyable visit, we will return in due course. We did return and we were delighted that our first visit wasn't a "one-off". The food and service were again excellent, we highly recommend the Coppleridge Inn.

We had a wonderful day for our wedding and reception in September 2023. The venue, marquee, staff, food and service were amazing, they couldn't do enough for us. So many of our guests have commented on the lovely location and marvellous food. Thank you all for such a special day with a loud shout out for Michael who was brilliant!! We would not hesitate to recommend heart ♥️

Had lunch here and it was excellent! The carrot cake and chai tea are 5* worthy alone; everything else is a bonus! Décor is fabulous, as is the location. Service was a little slow but it's August and expected tbh... Staff really friendly

Lovely ambience. Food was well portioned. Food was average. Wings could be seasoned better. The fish batter was crispy. Pulled pork sandwich was good.

A wonderful lunch, we all decide to have the daily specials. All were delicious, great value for money and we had three dogs with us and the staff could not have been more friendly or accommodating. They bring you complimentary biscuits for the dogs.

The Udder Farm Shop
Manor Farm, Front St, East Stour, Gillingham SP8 5LQ, UK | Food Store P: 01747 838899
Rating: 4.4 (1568) Price Level:
I could have spent endless hours pouring over everything in the shop. It’s a beauty to behold in the eyes of an American. There are assortments of wonderful pastries, cakes, cookies and breads. All types of condiments and sauces. An extensive meat counter with varieties of meat and fish (I regret to say my sausage and bacon from there were immediately seized upon my return to the US). Of course there are cheeses, spreads, pate and a great frozen section of many items including ready meals. The staff was friendly and the items I was able to enjoy (like the smoked trout terrine and a steak & kidney pie) were absolutely amazing

A huge thank you to Jude for all her care and attention to detail in putting together our order of 15 Christmas Hampers as gifts for our staff. Top quality products, beautifully displayed. Very grateful. Hope to be back next year.
Rating: 5 / 5
Great farm shop and very good restaurant, but has gotten incredibly busy. The farm shop is excellent, with a great butcher's counter and great selection of fruit & veg, as well as lots of posh nibbles. The restaurant is very reliable, decent food and good service. The only downside is that, with the large additional seating area they added to the restaurant, the whole place can get very busy. On a Saturday lunchtime we were lucky to snag the very last parking spot left in both the main and the *overflow* car parks.
Rating: 5 / 5
A huge, varied menu with very tasty, generous portions of food in a nice setting. A bit too easy to spend quite a lot of money! Great location with children when the weather is ok as there's a big field with football goals and some play equipment.
Rating: 4 / 5
Great experience as a place, but also in the restaurant and in the store I would like to find things of very good quality, not just the basic one. The bread for breakfast can be one from a local bakery not a frozen baguette or the store could also sell organic milk in cartons not in plastic bottle or a yogurt in a jar not just plastic buckets...etc. Overall it was good with skilled and kind staff.

Went in for food at the bar, and we really enjoyed it!!! The food was simple but delicious and we will 100% be going back. The waitress was also very knowledgeable with information regarding what could be eaten by a celiac in our group. It also had an amazing country pub feel that felt so welcoming and cozy x ❤️

Our first time visit to Shaftesbury and the Grosvenor Arms hotel. Very impressed with both – for the same reasons …... relaxed, welcoming and informal. In the hotel specifically it seemed that the staff were always wanting to “go the extra mile” to make sure we felt at home. The furnishings – and the bedrooms – are all comfortable, well chosen and empathetic to the age of the building. The only meals we had were breakfasts – and these were excellent. Our one concern before arrival – its location right in the centre of a potentially-noisy town – was completely unnecessary. We had a room overlooking the street and it was sufficiently quiet for us to have the window open at night. So, thank you Grosvenor Arms – and Shaftesbury! A great visit.

Beautiful location. Staff were efficient friendly and helpful. Rooms were great everything worked as it should. The building is quite old so if your looking for chic this isn't it. The rooms were comfortable and warm with quality mattress and bed linen. Foid here was good and the service was great. Everyone was friendly. The area is pretty. The Swan is somewhere I would definitely go to again

Four of us stopped for a meal. We had not booked but this was not a problem. Service was quick and attentive despite the fact that it was 5pm on a Saturday. All four of us were very pleased with our meals. I had a beef lasagne, probably the largest one I have ever had and it was very enjoyable. We will definitely call again. We'll done to all the staff!

Went here to have Sunday Dinner. The staff are very friendly. Large selection of food at a reasonable price. Being a vegetarian, plumped for the Nut Roast. They make the best I have ever tasted. When inquired was told that it is made by the owner herself, superb. Lovely relaxed atmosphere. Disabled friendly car park, small step to enter premises. Would highly recommend

The Sunday Carvery was the best. We booked a table the staff were very attentive . The carvery was the best i have had. Food was fantastic , a great variety of roast meats and super vegs to compliment. All staff were engaging and it was a most satisfying and most enjoyable visit. The price of the Carvery was great. Will be back from Kingston upon Thames. Many thanks.

Popped in for dinner this evening on the way home. The bar staff were lovely very friendly and accommodating. We had the mixed grill and Chicken Tikka. Wow is all I can say. The portion sizes were huge , food was fresh hot and very tasty. My partner fancies himself as a mixed grill king and he said this was the nicest he had ever had . I loved the curry there was so much chicken , hot fluffy rice and a lovely soft nan bread presented beautifully. We will definitely be returning very soon . Great value for money , lovely little pub , good food and lovely staff.

Christmas dinner party and there were at least 2 other parties there too. Staff were lovely. Food ok only critisism was my parsnip wasnt cooked enough, but considering they were catering for 50+ people I think they did very well. Thank you for a very enjoyable evening. Just 1 more thing..... please wipe the tables with something that does not leave a sticky residue.

Led a motorcycle group ride from Solent area to Somerset / Dorset, with a Sunday lunch stop at the Half Moon, Shaftesbury. 11 of us for lunch and we'd booked ahead so we had tables put together ready for us. Arriving about 1pm, the place was busy. We were fortunate to be served by a lovely young lady, Alyssa. Excellent customer service. She was charming - with an Essex-meets-Somerset type of accent - and confident; and nothing seemed to phase her, not even the items that weren't available on the menu or the pace of the kitchen. Clearly best to go for the carvery, but not everyone who has an evening meal planned wants that at lunchtime.
