Came down to try it after my friend had recommended this cafe and it did not disappoint! I ordered the breakfast two and cappuccino for myself and it was so good! The food was freshly and the staff there were very friendly as well.The restaurant itself has plenty of seatings!So it’s highly recommended:)

Had a really good breakfast today and really good value. the coffee was lovely too. I thought it was excellent value for money too. I was very hungry and hungover this morning so started eating it before I took the photo.

Fantastic cafe with brilliant friendly service! We were in the area for a couple of months and tried to eat here as much as possible! The inclusive breakfast is legendary, AND a great price. Thank you for feeding us! :)

Had a very nice evening at the restaurant 31/03/23. The food was very nice and the service was great from the two waitresses who were welcoming and kept our drinks flowing. We will be returning in the near future.

Delicious food. So glad we decided to try the good here. I've only had takeaways, but I'm sure the restaurant side is equally as good.

This was our first time ordering from here and we travelled from Stalbridge following the positive online reviews. With a baby due anyday now here's hoping the old wives tales are true 😁 The food was fantastic, hot , tasty and fresh. I have a smaller appetite so ordered the smaller portion deal and even this will last me 2 days. The chicken was cooked perfectly, nan bread was delicious I can't recommend this enough for those with a smaller appetite a great idea. Chilli chicken was delicious and fresh flavours not artificial heat. Again perfect dish . We will most definitely be visiting again .

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

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

went for a birthday meal food was amazing, decor was eccentric, staff were friendly and lovely to speak to the food did take a while to arrive due to issues in the kitchen on the day but the staff apologised and explained this seeing the animals in the fields outside after the meal was a nice surprise overall highly recommend

Lovely scenic spot that's well worth the visit. Very relaxing and pretty. Nice place for family, kids, dogs or just pleasant walk round on your own. Cheerful, friendly and helpful guy in ticket office and pleasant staff in cafe. Thoroughly enjoyed the place. Nice little plant shop, Ice cream shop and gift shop. Easy access loos. Highly recommend if you're in the area.

Beautiful place to go for a stroll with much of the area covered by a forest canopy. Lovely little café which was reasonably priced with an amazing outlook onto the lake. Took a pram with my newborn with a fairly accessible route around the Blue Poole. Many of the other trails have steps to access so will use a baby carrier next time.

Lovely place for a day out. Walks were clear and easy to stroll. The rope bridge was great fun. The views across the pool are stunning in a number of viewpoints. I guess when the azaleas are flowering it is absolutely beautiful. There's a nice cafe and lovely gift shop. I only wish we had visited before but will be back again before long

Went there as part of a new trail race and a great location. The pool is still blue all year so never disappointed, but obviously better when weather is clear. Great walks around. Good cafe. Well family priced.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

This is one of the better best western hotels I have stayed in. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food is good, the homemade shepherd's pie or beef stew with dumplings is fantastic, as good as I have had. Just a bit let down with what I assume are frozen veg and chips. Some rooms are ok but some are well in need of modernising. Shower didn't work above bath. Car park is safe. Location is good about 12 min walk to center or supermarket. Good pub across the road.

We had a Sunday carvery and there was plenty to choose from. Choice of meats and you can mix and match. Loads of choice of vegetables. Polite and friendly staff, bar and seating. Large dining room with lots of room for large gatherings. Booking is advised.

A super find! We stumbled across this restaurant tonight, and it was such a great surprise. My husband, girls, and I had a slap up meal for 4, including delicious sides and drinks. The food was on point. They have a varied and interesting menu - plenty of choice. Everything arrived hot and tasted wonderful - aromatic, richly flavoured, and clearly made with love. The portions were generous, so we ended up taking the leftovers home for tomorrow’s lunches. Great service, and value for money. Thanks for having us - we will be back!

Booked a table for Mothering Sunday 19/03/2023. Arrived 10 minutes before reservation, friendly waitress showed us our table. Drinks arrived within a few minutes following by starters and then freshly cooked mains. Meals are very tasty, staff very attentive and helpful. Happy to return here and recommend it! Thank you 🙂

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.

Collected my £6 opening offer pizza and was really happy with my order. Every slice was cut evenly (which norm you don’t get) and there was the right amount of topping. The pizza tasted fantastic and the quality was amazing. Keep up this standard of workmanship and this store will do fantastic. Best £6 spent for top tier customer satisfaction.

I came into domino’s late one night, 10 minutes before closing, with a low maximum amount of money to spend. The man was very nice and found me a good deal that worked for my price range. He made my pizza, and then gave me two free garlic bread pizzas. He was very lovely, and I appreciate his generosity and kindness
