The best eggs in the UK. It’s unbelievable how hard it is to get a great fried egg 🤣🤣🤣. Love your theme nights too. The stark night was our favourite ❤️

We had our wedding reception meal here last week and I can honestly say it was fabulous. The staff were extremely attentive and the food was the best. Thank you to Lee, Hannah, Jay and the team for making our special day so memorable.

My wife and I stopped here for Breakfast while holidaying in the area and most certainly not disappointed. Every single item on their Clubhouse Breakfast was cooked to absolute perfection, and it was quite simply one of the best cooked breakfasts I have ever eaten! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend!

Had a breakfast here Saturday 26th October. Very welcoming staff, happy to host our dog and great place to bring him as plenty of room and far enough from other guest as not crammed next to other tables. Nice food and great coffee, lovely setting.

I only recently found out that this 250 year old family brewery had opened an on-site tap room / pub, so just had to visit. On the outskirts of the main town, this is a fascinating establishment built within the original Victorian malt store, and is packed with memories of the brewery in the past. As you'd expect, the beer range is excellent, and food looked good too - pretty much regular pub dishes, but reasonably priced. Staff were very friendly and helpful, though on my visit service was a bit erratic, basically because new staff were being trained "on the job" that day. There's easy parking on site, or it's just a few minutes walk from Blandford town centre. Well recommended.

This place is exceptionally good value for money. Wonderful rooms, clean, spacious and well appointed. Dog friendly. The staff are incredible, the lady who welcomed us at reception couldn't do enough for us and is a great ambassador for Hall & Woodhouse. The location is great with the River Stour just a minutes walk away, lovely garden and really fascinating building.

Me and my husband got married here in April and it was honestly the most perfect day we could have possibly imagined! Laura (best wedding planner ever) went above and beyond to make sure it was perfect, nothing was too much to ask. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a wedding venue 🤍

My wife and I booked for one night's stay at the Crown Hotel recently, as it looked very nice and the price was more competitive than other hotels within this region. It's a beautifully maintained Georgian building in nice location, offering us easy access to numerous locations we wanted to visit in Dorset. We needed a second night's stay added, which was sorted out very easily and all prices, including our breakfast were clarified at reception. The staff were all pleasantly professional and the food choice was very good and of high quality. The room was clean, with a touch of character in line with age of building and had everything to make our stay comfortable. We were disturbed on second night by another guest's barking dog, although this was brief. Parking space is abundant and easy to access. There's also a very big beer garden outside hotel, which looked a popular feature in the sunny weather. Overall, generally pleased with our stay at the Crown and would recommend to others.

The Crown is an absolute gem and a must-visit for us whenever we’re in Blandford with family. Every time we step through the door, we’re greeted by a warm, enchanting atmosphere that feels like home. The hilarious quotes on the walls always get a laugh, and the cozy ambiance just draws you in – especially when there’s a crackling fireplace and a glass of wine waiting for you. On our most recent visit, we indulged in their Sunday roast, and it was incredible. Generous portions, perfectly cooked, and so delicious that we left feeling completely satisfied (and maybe a little too full!). Paired with a lovely bottle of wine, it was the perfect way to spend a relaxed afternoon. The staff here truly elevate the experience. They’re nimble, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile – even on a busy day. It’s this combination of great food, impeccable service, and charming atmosphere that keeps us coming back. We absolutely love The Crown and can’t recommend it enough. It’s become a cherished part of our visits, and we’re already looking forward to our next roast by the fire!

We have eaten here on a number of occasions and have never been disappointed. The food is excellent, the staff are always attentive and efficient. Tonight we experienced our first takeaway which was delivered by Mustapha. What a treat! I say ‘ experienced because the food was an experience!! It was so tasty, so beautifully cooked and so well presented. Definitely our favourite takeaway ever! I had a chicken combo and my husband had a lamb combo. The flavour’s are exceptional. The meat was extremely tasty and tender, the bread was the best I have tasted, even the garlic mayo was special. It was restaurant food in the comfort of your own home. They are very generous portions so we will be enjoying our left overs tomorrow for lunch. Thank you to Mustapha and his team. Excellent 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

What a fantastic evening at The Three King's last night! The food was amazing, freshly cooked to order, succulent meat, char grilled veg and a banging home made hot sauce. The owner and staff were very friendly and welcoming and chatted with us which made the evening all the more enjoyable. Great value for money and somewhere we will definitely return too.

We stayed in one of the feature rooms. Beautiful and roomy. The shower was a bit temperamental but wasn’t a problem. Room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The food was of a very high standard (breakfast and evening meals). And the staff were exceptional. We would highly recommend staying here in a very beautiful part of the world.

This was our first visit. We came across it on a Google maps search for Sunday lunch meeting a family member roughly half way between Salisbury and Poole. The pub is set in an idyllic village and was very welcoming from the moment we stepped inside. The staff were very friendly and helped with allergen information for a GF member of the party. There were good choices especially the desserts which could all be offered as a GFA. It is obviously a very popular place as it was very busy. The food took a long time to arrive but this wasn’t a problem for us as we felt relaxed in the environment and could appreciate how busy it was.

Booked and stayed here for my partners 40th birthday with family and friends. The cottage itself was amazing. The rooms were lovely, clean and very comfy. The open plan layout was great for big groups with plenty of space. The fact it is dog friendly was even better with a lovely garden. Be cautious though as its not completely enclosed and there is a couple of gaps that dogs could escape. The museum inn next door is a great pub. Staff very friendly and welcoming and the food was good. Location wise, it was ideal. Plenty of things to do nearby. Would have no issue booking this again and would recommend.

Stayed for one night and got a warm welcome as soon as I walked in, felt right at home straight away. The room was clean, and had everything I needed. The restaurant was quiet but still felt cozy, especially with the open fire going. The food was great & the steak was full of flavor and cooked just right. Breakfast was included, and there was loads to choose from. Everything was cooked well. All in all, a great stay for the price. Would definitely go back!

After messing up my initial booking, silly mistake, really messed Karl and his team around but was thoroughly looked after. When we showed up at the correct time myself and my two colleagues were treated very well. Good comms, easy to reach out to. Great on emails. Rooms are very nice. Good parking, but busiest when the pub is busy lunch, evening however was always able to find a space. Food is excellent. Breakfast choices are really good - you are really well fed. WiFi is good, I was able to take a several hour video meeting without any call quality or video issues which is essential when travelling on business. Will book again when next working in the area.

We have just met some friends for Sunday lunch at The Cockerel. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. We had a lovely table that was not crowded or too close to other people. The Sunday roast was excellent. Beautifully cooked beef, six veg , roast potatoes and an enormous Yorkshire pudding. The vegetarian option was a mushroom and spinach wellington which was really tasty. We all had sweets which were equally good. We will definitely make the trip out to this fantastic pub again. Thank you

The Cockerel is an absolutely pub located out the back of wimbourne. It’s nicely hidden away but a lovely location to be. The pubs service was amazing, the bar tender was funny and charismatic and was a joy to be served by. The food was incredible, great prices and really tasty! There was also a fire on for the duration of our meal which gave the pub a really nice atmosphere. The pub is quite small so make sure to book in advance!

We were visiting family in Blandford during November 2024 and decided to try the Charlton Inn for an evening meal. The choice of food was extremely good they also had a number of vegan options for the wife. The service, the atmosphere, the staff and the food was excellent. We was also allowed to stop over in their carpark in our motorhome, which made the evening even better. Would highly recommend it. In fact we are hoping to return in December.

We moved to Charlton Marshall in April and have eaten at the Charlton Inn many times since. Each time the food and service have been excellent, even when they were very busy. The Sunday lunch is one of the best we've had in our tours of local eateries since we retired. We will continue enjoying our visits and the great food in 2025.

Having passed The True Lovers Knot many times we had a chance to stop off there today. It’s a true old fashion pub with a log burner which was alight and we were lucky enough to get a table right next to it. We were hoping to have a Sunday roast. Because we hadn’t booked a table we thought we were out of luck. However they were very accommodating and said we could have the table till 14.30 which was fantastic. We ordered two roast turkey dinners which come with all the trimmings and was absolutely delicious. You definitely won’t leave feeling hungry. We will definitely return but make sure we book. Thank you.

A comfortable and spacious pub in lovely countryside. Friendly and helpful service. Has its own campsite to the rear, as well as ensuite rooms. Stocks a full range of Badger beers brewed in nearby Blandford, and offers a traditional pub menu too. In an age when so many country pubs are closing, this is a rare and welcome survivor.
