TWR was recommended to me by a friend who had previously had a great experience with work they’d carried out. I was not disappointed. Tom and his team were polite and professional at all times. They fitted a EV charger to the outside of my property. I’m so pleased with the tidy finish, it looks great. I would most definitely use them again and would not hesitate to recommend them.

Really professional and knowledgeable at a reasonable price. We had an idea which unit we wanted but pros and cons were discussed which instilled confidence in us using TWR. Installed in a time effective manner. Highly recommend

Tom and Steve fitted an EV charging point. A pleasant, friendly and knowledgeable company to deal with. Very professionally fitted at the agreed price with no mess or drama. Would have no hesitation in recommending or employing them again.

I am really impressed with Tom and his team. They rewired the ground floor of our house. They were innovative in deciding where to put the wiring, hardworking and left no mess to clear up. Everything was clearly explained to us as they worked. I would definitely recommend TWR Lighting.

Laser Electrical

Having experienced another local electrician and waited for 3 months to be invoiced, Ross is a breath of fresh air. Ross responded to my initial contact quickly, arranged an appointment at a time that suited me in a timely manner, carried out the work to a very high standard and the invoice was clear, concise and very reasonable. If you want somewhere to spend your hard earned money with confidence, this is the business to use.

Richard done a fantastic job of fitting all my electrics in the garden office. Including sockets (indoor and out) as well as my spotlights. Richard has previously fitted a ceiling light again I couldn't be happier with. Lovely guy and reasonably priced!

Richard came a long at short notice and did an amazing job. He was thoughtful moving his work around the kids coming in from school and cleaned up after himself. Awesome effort would definitely use him again

An absolute wonderful experience. Excellent service throughout the meal.. Food was first class, tasty, plentiful. Homemade Baklava so delicious. Restaurant is not overcrowded and has a lovely feeling about the place. You could well be in Turkey itself for a few hours. Wonderful New year's eve. Thank you

I have never been made to feel more welcome at an establishment and they all went above and beyond to make this a special surprise dinner for a birthday in our party of four. Simply beautiful is how I would describe the food here. They are clearly proud of their food, and they really should be! I’m eager to come back again to try more of their brilliant and refreshing menu.

We walked in earlier this evening as a table of 5 and we had the best time. We had a platter for two to share and it was just amazing. Fussy 5 year old has now decided calamari but be one of her new favourite things. Didn’t get a picture of the dessert as it didn’t last long but it was just as good as the food which couldn’t be faulted. Our waitress Lillie was great. I’ve already booked again for a big group on my birthday, we had a great night, great food and really good service, think it goes without saying that we will be back

Came bank holiday friday and was welcomed with open arms by the staff who interacted with us throughout. We havent been able to stop talking about how nice the food was and personally thought thw coffee was the nicest roast id ever had. Dog friendly as well. Although it feels pricey you have to take into account just how fresh everything is.

Incredible food, friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. Stopped for lunch with my sister when we were in the area. So glad we did! I had the chicken nourish bowl and it looked as good as it tasted. We look forward to returning to try the gorgeous desserts.

An absolutely brilliant cafe with delicious fresh food, friendly staff and very reasonable prices! The South African cuisine was one I had not tried before, but it was presented brilliantly to me with the wide array of inventive yet authentic dishes on offer. The coffee was also brilliant and the cakes were delicious.

Lovely food and host/wait team! We went for the special barbecue lunch and it was lovely as well as great value. My only comment would be that I'd have loved it if the food had been brought in piping hot but it was delicious nonetheless. Definitely revisiting to try other things on their menu.

Just really excellent coffee. They really know their beans. And the staff are friendly and the cakes are great too. I will be getting my coffee here a lot!

Best coffee in Dorchester. There’s a reason why there are 3 of them in such a small town! Seating in this one feels a little cramped, especially in the colder months, hence the 4 stars for atmosphere. Baked treats are lovely. Much better than the chain coffee places in town. Support the indie places or they’ll be gone!

Great coffee, probably one of the best flat White's I have had in a long, long time. Good atmosphere and friendly service. Highly recommended if you want top quality coffee

Went on a recommendation, it says something when people queue outside for the place to open when the chain coffee shops are already open close by. Excellent espresso based coffee and delicious croissants served by a friendly batista. An easy recommendation.

Such delicious coffee!!! Gutted there isn't one closer to Bournemouth, I would visit alot!!! The chocolate tiffin and salted caramel brownie were divine too! Great choice of cakes and buns. The server was so friendly, I'm sorry I didn't catch her name, but she showed me her gorgeous dog tattoos!

What a wonderful place, we went as a family as we were on holiday. And because they do a carvery every day. It was amazing, crispy roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings, freshly cooked vegetables, what a choice! And a really good serving of tender beef and pork. All for £13 as over 65's. Staff were so helpful even though rushed off their feet! We even booked up the next evening for another roast. Puddings were incredible too. Well done The Sun Inn

We found The Sun Inn on google maps last minute, are plans had changed. What a find, lovely welcome and a very nice carvery , roast beef or turkey loads of veg all hot and fresh. I recommend booking in advance as it was very busy, they squeezed us in on a barrel table, not suitable for everyone, we didn’t mind they asked us first.

Thank you for accommodating us as walk-ins for the Sunday Roast. The food was delicious, the staff were welcoming, the atmosphere was warm, relaxed and peaceful (some places can be very noisy during afternoon roast dinners). We have also tried the outdoor seating previously for some nibbles and the review remains exactly the same. We really enjoyed on both occasions and we will definitely return.

Amazing service, one of the best Sunday roasts I have ever had. Carvery is excellent for vegans and vegetarians too! Staff really friendly and helpful especially the two young lads who have helped us both times we were there.

Visited The Sun Inn whilst staying in a holiday cottage 5 mins walk away. We booked in for a second time that week because we enjoyed it so much! Highly recommend the carvery, it was delicious. Can’t fault the staff, they were all lovely and so attentive. Great atmosphere, and great pub in general. Would suggest booking in advance because it’s very popular.
