Great quality fresh pizza, nice outside seating if you want to sit in and eat. Also offer takeaway. Lovely people.
Rating: 5 / 5
Absolutely perfect spot for a late lunch, or pre pub grub. Quick service, great choice of toppings (and vegan options). There's a covered/heated outdoor dining area, and the choices of beer/soft drinks is also impressive.

The pizza was amazing š¤© (best in the world says my kids!) Milkshakes were yummy too. Three stars for atmosphere as dead leaves in marquee need replacing!

The Burger Box

A little hard to find but so worth it. The staff is amazing and even though the burger could look small so filling, flavourful and perfect. Will become a more regular spot for my husband and I. The halloumi fries is also a must have. We both had the truffle shuffle burger with normal and sweet potatoes fries and halloumi fries. Just wish it was slightly cheaper so we can come every week but I know that is just the price of inflation.

Ordered takeaway on Saturday. Atmosphere on collection was busy, food was delicious and hot, portion size was generous. We ordered the OG burger and a gluten free bun was available and catered for well. Only criticism is we had to a wait a bit longer than agreed pickup time, but for such a new business still finding their feet on their first Saturday night, I could understand, so it didnāt reflect the review. If you want tasty burgers with some great choices, look no further.

My husband pre- ordered, which was very easy , the food was ready when we collected. The burgers and chips were all nice and the ingredients fresh. I do think they are a lot of money for burger and chips , so this would not be something we had very often.

Wow what a burger! The place is a lovely funky modern place, on industrial estate so easy parking outside. I got to have a cider, burger, and fries. Not the cheapest but well worth it! They clearly have great meat supplier patties were great!

Had the truffle burger, sweet potato fries and halloumi fries. Sweet potato fries were kinda caramelised and so good. Halloumi was soft and flavourful. Though the burger looked small compared to other places it absolutely hits the spot. Juicy and flavourful. The sauce literally bleeds out with each bite. Staff are welcoming and friendly. It's a little out the way and very hidden. Defo a hidden gem. Definitely looking to make it a regular stop.

The Stour Inn

Rating: 4.5 (250) Price Level:
This is a treasure of a pub. The staff are really friendly and the local's are happy to chat. What marks this pub out from others is the great selection or beers and tasty wines. They also cater for those who are not drinking alchol or are driving with a great selection of non-alcoholic drinks that actually taste great. The chef here is unbelivably good. We have dined during one of his Thai evenings and the food is beyond belief. This pub is doing things right when it comes to Roasts as well. A Big sharing veg (bowl after bowl keeps coming out) along with a great selection of meats. The sharing roast is brilliant and the quality of ingredients is top notch. They also have an excellent menu on offer during the week as well, in the pictures we had the Breakfast Scotch Egg, Pig Croquettes, Steak and the Sticky Biscoffee pudding. All amazing. - Wednesday is steak night which is 2 steaks and a bottle of wine for Ā£40 which is brilliant value.

Sorry for the delay in posting, We came here at the end of May this year, the staff were very friendly and helpful they even catered for my daughter who really struggles with certain foods coming into contact with each other and has lactose intolerance, the chef was most helpful and even came out to chat with us, the food was excellent and well worth it. We are looking forward to going back hopefully on our way back from Hampshire 23rd Aug 2024. Thank you to all the team.

What a little gem of a pub!! Sadly no photos, but I can attest to the food being fabulous. I loved the creativity of the chef. Incredible scotch eggs, and his quirky Indian chocolate orange with a curry anglaise - whilst it sounds wrong on paper - was one of the best things Iāve had in yonks!!! Great local pub with cosmopolitan content. We loved it! š

I love this pub. Friendly bar staff. I have found Locals are friendly and open to chat. The chef is amazing and always happy to accommodate people's needs and tastes. I enjoy the selection of ale which changes reg ( always have London pride on tap though) so this is my favorite pub.

I can honestly say my partner and I have just had the best roast dinner weāve ever had. Being vegetarian we donāt usually bother to go out for dinner in Dorset as weāre often given bland boiled veg. The chef, Adam, and staff at the Stour Inn went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we could possible want (crispy potatoes, garlic greens, cauliflower cheese, HUGE yorkshiresā¦). Staff were so friendly and the pub has a wonderful atmosphere. Weāve already booked again for next weekend. Thank you!!

Rating: 4.5 (326) Price Level:
The most delicious dinner with a friendly and welcoming service! We came here this evening with our two friends all the way from Kathmandu who were very much missing Nepalese Daal baat and delicious Nepalese food. I must say we were not at all disappointed, the food was very flavoursome, fresh and most of all authentic. We would absolutely recommend coming here āŗļøthank you very much for having us!!

Gosh, what can I say? Every time that I have had a takeaway from Namaste Ghurka it has exceeded expectations. Once again, absolutely great food and it makes living in Blandford more than well worth living! THANK YOU - BRILLIANT!

Good restaurant to support the locals. Building is simple and characteristic, although needs some updating. Staff are still young so don't expect world class service, but good effort nonetheless. Food is great, reasonably priced and good portion sizes. Plenty of vegetation options as well.

First visit to the area and saw the previous reviews for this restaurant which were positive. We were not disappointed. Lovely food and good service. Tried the dumplings as a starter (rather than my usual choice of onion bhaji) and they were delicious.

Rating: 4.5 (654) Price Level:
We booked a last minute room last night as we were meant to stay at the Royal Oak but they messed up and sold our room to someone else. So we were panicking as we were 4hours away from home at 18:30pm. I found the Langton arms on booking.com and immediately booked it. We had a warm welcome and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay lovely. The food was amazing and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. Thank you to everyone at the Langton arms for making what was stressed and sad night to a one that we will never forget. And we are truly hoping to be back in the future!

Decent food, excellent friendly service. Went here for group Sunday pub lunch following a walk. Food was cooked to a good standard and staff were very accommodating without being fussy. However the meal felt slightly on the pricey side (over Ā£10 for most starters and Ā£22Ā± for most main courses) . Would otherwise be happy to recommend. Thank you

Wonderful place to eat. My husband and I visited the area and we must say that we really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. The wonderful staff was helpful and lovely.

The pub itself is a historic building, beautiful area and fantastic food and drink. Some might say it's expensive, but when you learn where the ingredients come from and the owners care and devotion it's a whole experience. I can't comment on the rooms as I've never used them.

We didn't stay here in accomodation as we stayed about a 5min walk away. The staff we excellent and the food was amazing. Although they run out of white bait as a starter the chef offered a mix of calamari and what white bait was left. Can't fault the food and the staff. As a table of 11 it was amazing and they were hosting a party also. Well done to all staff on Saturday night. Oh if you visit, I would recommend the scotch egg starter, stunning. Well done

Very warm and friendly welcome from the lady behind the bar today for lunch. Chicken burger, chunky chips and salad Ā£10.50! Bacon cheese burger, chunky chips and salad Ā£12.50! Amazing value Iām going to try the home made lasagna next time. Salad wasnāt just a bit of lettuce, but a decent freshly prepared salad with pepper, red onion, cress ect exceptional and very reasonably price food and drinks, the best value food in town. The bar is full of some old characters adding to the traditional pub atmosphere. Garden was clean and tidy, will be back soon š»

We went there yesterday as a group of 15 and they were absolutely brilliant. We had the skittle alley to ourselves so the kids could play with the selection of toys in there which worked perfectly. We had a variety of meals across the table and everyone said how delicious it was. The pork belly bites as a starter were a definite stand out. Thank you to all the lovely team who served us.

I have driven past this pub on more occasions than I could probably mention and always said must try that one. Well today was the day and so pleased that I did! I can honestly say this was one of the best (if not the best) pub food I have ever had. Our table of four all had different dishes and every single one was outstanding quality with a generous portion. Personally I opted for the ploughman's asking for it without the meat element which wasn't a problem at all. An excellent selection, fresh and tasty. I would highly recommend booking, even for lunch, as it was busy, and it's really not surprising why. The service was friendly and a good pub atmosphere made it a great experience and all at a fair price too. This will most definitely not be the last visit to this highly recommended Dorset pub. If you haven't been then add it to your 'must visit' list, but don't leave it as long as I did.

The pubs staff were friendly and funny, not just robots and also not too cheeky it becomes weird. The portions were the size youd give yourself at a buffet. The price was fine. And the menu had a decent selection. I had the pie and it almost had more stake than my girlfriends ribeye. Highly recommend.

We had drinks, dinner and then stayed over in our motorhome and it was absolutely wonderful! The food was exceptional, the service was excellent and the pub and beer garden are great. We were made to feel very welcome and would definitely recommend!

A Dorset gem. I've only ever had the Sunday Carvery here because it's fantastic value (Ā£14.50) and absolutely delicious. I always end up asking for a box so there is bubble and squeak to go home with! The staff are great and friendly. I'd say this is a proper pub and Sunday lunch experience! Booking very much recommended they are popular.

Visited here twice for food whilst on our stay and we were certainly not disappointed at all. As you can see from our photos from our evening meals they were delicious, they were presented well and they tasted fantastic. Well worth the money we paid and the staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. It's also dog friendly and our dog loved it as well. Do not miss out when visiting Stourpaine.

Absolute gem of a pub, excellent Sunday lunch which was massive. Staff were lovely and very attentive. The pub was lovely, warm, inviting and quirky. Have been before for steam up but had to re visit to try the food and so glad we did. Lovely experience and we will definitely return

Lovely traditional pub with a wide range of beer and good food. We visited on a Thursday evening and it was pretty busy. I think it is one of the only pubs in Stourpaine, but service was great and the food was lovely. I had the steak pudding and chips, which I've not had for years but it was gorgeous. My wife had ham, egg and chips, which again she said tasted delicious. The pub has a whole raft of service mens hats dotted throughout the place and has had a visit by King Charles when he was a prince. Lovely place, well worth a visit.

I cant comment on food as we only stopped by for a quick half. I am so pleased we did. . . A lovely venue steeped in history, with lots of original atrefacts recovered from the original brewery which is actively being demolished by the look of it, sadly. . . I have drank and enjoyed Badger beers for some years and was over the moon when I found that it was based in Blandford Forum, as we passed through on a daytrip. A very worthwhile stop off.
