A Tasquinha da Maria
27 Holyrood St, Chard TA20 2DN, UK | Restaurant P: 07990 659264
Rating: 4.9 (77) Price Level:
We googled for a good restaurant in Chard and was impressed by the good reviews for A Tasquinha. We weren't very impressed by the entrance which wasn't very welcoming and had cigarette butts around the doorway. The inside of the restaurant was nice, clean and has a small garden outside. We presume the lady who served us was the owner. She is very pleasant and welcoming and took our orders and served our food speedily. We ordered a tapas plate for starters but when it came, there were no olives as they had run out that morning. However, we were charged the same price. (Sainsburys is 2 minutes up the road!) She recommended one of the specials, a bean, calamari and prawn stew which, for a cold day sounded good but the prawns were undercooked, there were only small very small pieces of calamari and it was beans, beans and more beans which was quite bland. My husband had their 'sausage' special. A tiny piece of sausage with a cooked egg ( he was not asked how he wanted his egg and it was a hard fried egg. I can't recommend the food here

My wife has the milanesa and I had the smoked sausage! Both were amazing! Even the salad was amazing with an olive oil vinaigrette! Also it was the first time we tried sardine and tuna patê's! 😋😋😋😋

Amazing portuguese restaurant, it felt like we were in Portugal. Amazing food cooked perfectly and amazing service. Shame its to far away from us (we were travelling) and we can't go back often. And they have a lot of groceries that is only sold in Portugal!
Rating: 5 / 5
WOW! What a fabulous find on our way home. The food was superb and super tasty, great portions, you won’t leave feeling hungry, loved the atmosphere and the owner was very friendly and helpful. It was a real taste of Portugal in Somerset. The high rating by others is genuinely justified. If your heading north from the south coast I highly recommend you make the detour through Chard to visit, I’m quite sure you’ll be very glad you did.

A lovely restaurant with a warm and friendly vibe and a Portuguese tavern feel inside. The food was outstanding. Will be back again!

Dentistry on the Grove
42 Southbourne Grove, Bournemouth BH6 3RD, UK | Dental Clinic P: 01202 443882
Rating: 4.9 (285) Price Level:
I have followed Tracey Lightfoot from her previous practice to Dentistry on the Grove. Tracey’s chair side manner and reassuring ways are just what a nervous patient needs. I would highly recommend Tracey and Dentistry on the Grove. Great service.
Rating: 5 / 5
We have followed Tracey having been her patients in the New Forest for some 20 years. She is personable, professional and extremely skilled at her job. Her surgery is large, airy and light. Tracey and her Nurse Ashra are very welcoming and personable. The Dentistry on the Grove practice is well run, the premises are clean and roomy and the receptionists are very warm and welcoming. We cannot recommend this practice too highly!
Rating: 5 / 5
Excellent service from the dentistry, first class premises and first class administration. My wife and I followed Tracey from our dentists in Brockenhurst. She is the best dentists we have ever had. very professional, very caring and explains every process clearly. The practice is very modern
Rating: 5 / 5
I had an extreme fear of the dentist and hadn’t gone in several years with past experiences being horrific. I ended up with a gum infection which forced me to make an appointment, after hearing good things about dentistry on the grove I decided to try there. I’m so glad I did! They were all so kind and patient with me, and I’m telling you I was very difficult but they all knew exactly what to do to calm me and all my appointments went really well all the check ups, periodontal cleaning and normal hygienist appointments. If you’re nervous of the dentist please give this one a chance, they have helped me so much and my teeth and gums are healthier than ever. Can’t thank them all enough.
Rating: 5 / 5
Having moved to the area a couple of years ago, I had neglected to register with a new dentist & found it difficult to decide which practice to enrol with. Glad to say I made the right choice with Dentistry on the Grove. Super clean premises, looks professional & calming from the minute you walk in the door. The reception staff are welcoming & friendly and my dentist Dr Tracey Lightfoot was simply wonderful and has a great bedside manner. She explained everything, and did a fantastic job preserving a fractured tooth I had assumed would need extracting. Absolutely delighted with results & even looking forward to my next check-up (never thought I'd say that), highly recommend.

THORNE ELECTRICAL CONTRACTORS
47 High St, Sixpenny Handley, Salisbury SP5 5ND, UK | Electrician P: 01722 466443
Rating: 5 (30) Price Level:
I manage a Lettings agency in Central Salisbury and Nick is our go-to electrician. Fairly priced, exceptional standard of work, fantastic communication and always tidies up after himself once works are completed - which can be half the struggle when trying to manage properties with various contractors. None of our Tenants or Landlords have ever had a bad word to say about Nick or his workmanship. We recommend him to all of our Landlords and I have also had Nick carry out works on my own property. 10/10 would recommend him to anyone in Salisbury and surrounding areas.
Rating: 5 / 5
Nick is friendly, approachable, knowledgeable, competitive, works tidily, arrives on time, offers great advice. His work is to a very high standard, we have used him to re wire our kitchen & install outside lights, no job is too small or big. Great to find a contractor who says they will turn up on time & do the job that is expected. You will find it hard to beat this chap on price, efficiency, workmanship. Will always use Nick as our go to electrician.
Rating: 5 / 5
Nick first came to us when we needed a full electrical inspection for our insurance. He provided a really good service covering everything that was required in a proactive way. We then asked him to fit a new external light. Again, he could have been more helpful and carried out a really good job. We would highly recommend him for any electrical job big or small.
Rating: 5 / 5
Highly recommended. A very reliable and comprehensive service with great attention to detail and with disruption minimised. Nick is excellent at communicating before, during and after the work; providing detailed quotes, confirming appointments, arrival times and also talking through options during the work that need a decision. The paperwork arrived very promptly after the work was completed.
Rating: 5 / 5
Nick has carried out a complete rewire at our home. Despite many challenges - Nick has completed the job to a very high standard and in the time specified. At all times, Nick has been friendly and approachable whilst maintaining a professional manner. We are extremely happy with what has been done and would recommend Nick to anyone looking to have work carried out.

Black Swan Dental Spa Crewkerne
16, Falkland Square, Crewkerne TA18 7JS, UK | Dental Clinic P: 01460 77517
Rating: 5 (283) Price Level:
As a very nervous dental patient, I cannot recommend Black Swan more highly. I am currently undergoing a course of treatment with Dooha who is not only exceptionally knowledgeable but also exceptionally understanding and human. I’ve been totally put at ease and feel genuinely cared for by the entire team. The reception staff are second to none, and play such a vital role in the whole experience. I wouldn’t go anywhere else (it also helps that it also feels like you’re stepping into a 5* hotel when you enter the building!)
Rating: 5 / 5
Have been with Black Swan for at least 12 years. It can’t be often that people say they enjoy going to the dentist but I do. The team is welcoming and supportive. Procedures are clearly explained and why one needs them likewise. I can’t praise the whole team enough.
Rating: 5 / 5
In my four years of attending Black Swan I've always received exceptional care, but my last visit to see my lovely hygienist, Donna, deserves a special mention. She is absolutely first class at what she does, which is reflected in the visible and measurable improvement to my gums, and she is gentle and caring. Thank you to her and to all the team at Black Swan.
Rating: 5 / 5
Only had 2 appointments since joined. Both with Ahmed & so pleased we moved there. Treatments were excellent & I felt comfortable at all times. The staff are very welcoming, friendly & can talk you through your treatment if needed.
Rating: 5 / 5
I have been a patient at Black Swan for several years and have found every part of the service to be exemplary from the Reception staff through to the Hygienists and Dentists. I recently had extensive and difficult work done to correct a problem and Ahmad was so understanding and spent considerable time and effort ensuring that I was happy with the result. I cannot imagine any of my previous dentists taking this amount of trouble. I feel confident in knowing that Ahmad and his team will always strive to choose the best treatment I need.

Wonderful warm reception by all the volunteer staff when we visited whilst walking the Jubilee Trail. Great coffee in the little cafe and good selection of local ales to take on our journey. Well stocked, bright and cheerful shop, highly recommended! Martin
Rating: 5 / 5
Classic village store, well stocked with an incredible range of product. Staff are all volunteers and keen to give good service. Not quite Champs Elysees but better, nice coffee served indoors or on the charming veranda-on-the-street watching typical country village life happening. Fantastic cream teas or full cooked breakfast!! Oh yes and food for the guinea pig ☺️. Lovely, why not try it.
Rating: 5 / 5
Brilliant little shop. All the basics and lots of interesting extras, including local brands. Excellent wine selection, super-fresh fruit & veg, and handy home-made frozen curries etc. Good cakes and a warm welcome!
Rating: 5 / 5
Amazing shop! Stopped here midway through a walk and enjoyed two glorious flat whites and a lovely chat with Phil and Lynn. Really made our day to meet such welcoming people on our short stay in the area - thank you for the beer and vodka hot chocolate too! ;)
Rating: 5 / 5
Great friendly atmosphere, situated at the heart of this lovely, friendly Dorset village. Benefits from a new, state of the art coffee machine. Regular, well-priced culinary events include three course Tuesday lunch. Always on offer a selection of cakes, cream teas etc.

We received an excellent service from this company when we had an emergency with our electrical system. Rob arrived at 8 am on New Year's Eve and was able to efficiently analyse and sort out the problem. Highly recommended.
Rating: 5 / 5
Rob and the team were great. Worked well with us and our builders, explained what he was doing and why and then happily talked me through all elements of the finished project. Courteous, tidy, would high recommend. Cheers Rob!
Rating: 5 / 5
I had a 6 month long renovation on my house that required multiple visits and adaptations on-the-fly as things came up. Rob and Callum were absolutely fantastic. Nothing was a challenge for them and they were supportive when plans had to change, even amongst the last minute requests for them to visit. Our project was certainly difficult, but these guys made it feel achievable, and they delivered 💪
Rating: 5 / 5
Amazing service, job done exactly as requested. Exactly in the time needed. Reasonable price and nice guys too.
Rating: 5 / 5
10/10 service. We use Rob everytime. He helped fit all the downlighting to our renovation downstairs, moving sockets, fuse box and installing sockets for a TV and fireplace. And he has just come back and fitted downlighting to the whole top floor and rerouted the sky cables. Nothing is too much trouble and he was happy to make adjustments where needed. Very professional and cleans up after himself. We would recommend Rob to anyone needing an electrician, he is the best.

Wonderful first appointment! Ian was very gentle and really took time to explain everything. I hadn't been to a dentist for 4 or so years due to a couple of bad experiences and Trigeminal Neuralgia and went on recommendation of a friend. I will definitely return!
Rating: 5 / 5
My visit to Sturminster Dental Care was excellent. Charming and helpful staff. The offices and consulting rooms were very well set up and the dentist Ian was charming and extremely professional. I'm glad I changed from my previous practice.
Rating: 5 / 5
First appointment as new patient today. Really impressed, all very professional, very relaxed and very thorough. I’m not that keen on dentists, but I’m actually looking forward to my next appointment.
Rating: 5 / 5
I was recently introduced to Sturminster Dental Practice by a very good friend on mine John Durham, having been unhappy with the care I was receiving elsewhere. I have now had 3 visits to this practice and the care and attention has been excellent, it is not something I look forward too visiting a dentist but getting the service I have received has taken away any concerns
Rating: 5 / 5
Had to re-book at short notice and the whole process was simple and helpful Darren is amazing at putting me at ease and allowing me to stay calm and relaxed throughout
