Lovely home cooked food. Friendly staff, definitely worth a visit
Rating: 5 / 5
Great find! We popped in for a late lunch. We had the classic croque and it was delicious. A great combination of flavours with a lovely dressed side salad and home made coleslaw. A really great cup of coffee too. My sons vanilla milkshake was overflowing with cream and sauce topping! Friendly staff and swift service. Nice clean toilets too. Only slight downside if there is one was that there are a few steps up to the front door which could possibly be an issue for a few customers. Highly recommended café.

Rating: 5 / 5
The service was great and the guys are friendly and polite. The coffee was very good, the cafe is very clean and the loo is spotless, I did see the kitchen as someone came out, spotless (yes I’m nosey!) I had the Welsh rarebit I like a stronger cheese and my toast was cold, this is a personal thing, they did ask if it was ok and I said yes! Would I go back yes, would I recommend yes . Would I have Welsh rarebit again no ! The ice cream is delicious and would definitely have again.

Great place. Good produce. Friendly, knowledgeable staff.
Rating: 5 / 5
Small queue as limiting number of people in store, would help if they put labels on the vegetables and fruit as to what's what. Also got a takeaway from the cafe to cook at home really nice flavours.
Rating: 5 / 5
Great breakfast rolls, and cake, and coffee. Well-deserved after a walk up Hambledon Hill.
Rating: 4 / 5
A wide variety of fresh fruit and vegetables plus locally produced foodstuffs. A little pricey but you don't mind spending a bit more for produce of this quality.

Jerry's Steakhouse, Cafe and wine bar
8 West St, Blandford Forum DT11 7AJ, UK | Restaurant P: 01258 488788
Rating: 4.9 (221) Price Level:
An absolute must try & I will eat my hat if you don't fancy going back again soon!! 😋 🤤 Seriously well worth a wee drive to come eat some very yummy food! 👍 Even better it is a local family grown, family owned business, so you'll be supporting an independent business and all the awesome staff who work there. ❤️ This place is nestled in the cute Blandford Forum just a few steps away from the lovely Crown Hotel, very easy to find as it's on the same road just before Market Place. • Parking nearby ✅ • There is seating on the ground floor and 1st floor. • Toilets are upstairs on the 1st floor too (2 total). The bar and chefs kitchen are on the ground floor also, kitchen to the back just behind a curved wall which has the stairs behind it Its an old building and they've done a great job revitalising both the outside and the interior feels super premium. There's quite a few plug points with usb on them to, so decent if you have kids with devices or coming for a cheeky work meeting etc.. The food seriously good, came in good time & service was great from all the staff, including the chef and the owners mixing in with the awesome vibes. Whether you came here regularly or just passing through, you could feel like making some new friends here with the staff and owners. Also, their pizza from the takeaway a few doors down is damn good.. Got our fussy 11yr old lads approval! 😂

My pool team had a meal at Jerry's Steakhouse 2 weeks ago. It was brilliant, fantastic steak, chips, mushroom and onion rings. Very nice sauce too. The Biscoff cheesecake was probably the best pudding I've had. Honestly it was amazing! 😍 I definitely want to go again.
Rating: 5 / 5
Highly recommended, everything was excellent. A great deal of effort, thought and finesse has been put into both the food and the restaurant itself. I found the prices to be just right for the quality and quantity of food ordered. Definitely one of the best places I've eaten this year. We also met Jerry and he was lovely to talk to, please keep doing what you're doing as it is working really well!
Rating: 5 / 5
It's rare to find places that are a 5 star rating across the broad, but this is certainly one such place! The food was incredible - the starter was perfect, and the steak..... easily some of the best I have ever eaten! Cooked to perfection, and everything from the sauce to the mushrooms simply complemented it so well. We visited at lunch time, so had the place alsmot to ourselves, but I am sure that the service will be utmost during busy periods - and this place it popular! So you accept that during busy times there might be a bit more of a wait. Atmosphere was great - a lovely clean, modern and upbeat restaurant, and Jerry was a pleasure to chat to as well; clearly he values his customers and the amazing business he has built up in the area. We won't hesitate to recommend this steakhouse to friends and family alike, and look forward to coming back! It's a shame Google won't remove the obviously false 1 star review from someone who cannot accept that it's the Business that controls the opening times and not what Google lists (they're not in real time love!). So for anyone looking to go here, pay attention to the reviews that truly reflect what you will experience.
Rating: 5 / 5
Stunning. The service was perfect, the food was immense and the decor is spectacular. This is honestly one of the best restaurants I've ever been to anywhere in the world. I regularly eat burgers when at "steakhouses" and I do this very regularly, the Bourgeois Burger I had at "Jerry's" is easily in my top 5 if all time. Flavours complimented each other perfectly and it was cooked perfectly too. Can't wait to go back to this place!!

The White Horse Inn

Rating: 4.8 (207) Price Level:
A group of us are lunch at the white horse yesterday, the food is exquisite, there were 7 of us and every plate we were served was exceptionally presented and tasted amazing!!!! We will be back, what a memorable time. Thankyou so much. The village this pub is situated in is idyllic, like a fairy tale.
Rating: 5 / 5
We stopped in while visiting from America. I would consider the White House to be an upscale pub. The ambience is great! Lots of stone and heavy wooden beams. There were lots of locals there when we were there which is always a good sign. The staff was wonderful! The food was truly excellent! Every starter and entree was done to perfection! If we lived in the area we would be here often!

What a lovely evening me and my family had last night at this lovely little pub. Thank you so much. The food was fabulous and your wine pickings for us were perfect. See you again soon.

Wonderful birthday dinner. Lamb Scrumpit, Tuna Carpaccio, Pork Belly, Dorset Crab Linguine, Tiramisu (a little heavy for my preference, but still delicious) and Cheese and crackers. We’ll be back!

Cracking little village pub, we popped in for a few drinks with friends and had a great time, we sat in the garden in the sun and it was extremely pleasant. Will be going back for some food in the future.

The Baker Arms
The Cross, Child Okeford, Blandford Forum DT11 8ED, UK | Pub P: 01258 860260
Rating: 4.7 (199) Price Level:
The Bakers Arms in Child Okeford is a wonderful little village pub. The staff are very friendly and welcoming to its visitors. The quality of the food is fantastic and the pub offers excellent booth seating by a cozy fire. When you drop in we highly recommend trying the burgers, they are delicious. The Bakers Arms offer great support to the local community, this was evident by the Phesantfest which was a fantastic and well supported community day. We love that the pub is a dog friendly pub also!

We stopped in on a Sunday, for a weekend away in Dorset (in May - late review), after reading their reviews. What a charming local pub it is, very friendly, people stopping off after church service had finished. We had a fantastic roast Sunday lunch and we would be coming back again if the chef was staying! Parking on the roadside. Nice little pub garden. Great Pimms! Amazing food - the scotch egg is to die for. What more can you ask for.
Rating: 5 / 5
Great food and ales. Tom and Sam are doing a great job. And a lovely little cottage you can stay in out the back

A really friendly atmosphere and great service. They went out of their way to accommodate me with a vegetarian option for dinner, and remembered our drinks from the night before. Great stop after walking up Hambledon Hill.
Rating: 5 / 5
Having just walked Hambledon Hill and Hod Hill with a different pub lunch planned, where we couldn't get in, with the help of Google Maps and the car we found The Bakers Arms. Here the welcome, from staff and a chap comfortably settled at the bar, was friendly and the wood-burner was welcome warmth after the cold outside. We had a delicious lunch, in my case halloumi bun with baba ganoush and chips and my daughter enjoyed scotch egg and millionaire chips (worth the journey just for those). It's a great old world village pub, well worth a visit, on foot or in the car.

Shillingstone Station
St Patricks Industrial Estate, Station Rd, Shillingstone, Blandford Forum DT11 0SA, UK | Cafe P: 01258 860696
Rating: 4.7 (182) Price Level:
A retired railway station along a flat cycle trail. A great place to stop, with a small shop (rail oriented), and a little cafe serving snacks like pasties and cakes. Step back in time having tea in a carriage and when you visit the tiny museum, and make sure you experience the old station loos. A lot of modernisation is going on to extend the track and looks like more steam engines are arriving. Not easily accessible by car.
Rating: 5 / 5
We have visited frequently, and the cafe is run by friendly volunteers, and very homely. Usually a selection of cakes and sausage rolls / pasties and sandwiches. Good mug of tea too. There is the railway shop selling mostly rail related books with an overspill in a carriage outside. There is another carriage you can take the cafe food into, and benches outside. Don't miss the hidden garden at the end of the platform up the path; lovely views across the hills. Popular with walkers, cyclists and motorcyclists.
Rating: 5 / 5
Really enjoyable visit. Having a look in the signal box was great. The chap explaining everything was very knowledgeable and answered any questions. Very interesting to see how everything worked before computers took over! Lots has been done since we last visited about 10 years ago. Wont be waiting that long for the next visit though! Great station cafe too and you can sit on the platform or in a carriage to eat and drink. The classic car display on when we visited was excellent and there was a wide selection of cars bikes and trucks. . Spent a lot longer here than we thought we might. Such a shame that the line was shut down in 1966. (My parents travelled on the last train)

We came on a short afternoon out . Lovely place. We enjoyed the Musium with all our childhood memories. Thanks to the volunteers.
Rating: 5 / 5
The volunteers have clearly put lots of time and effort into the station. It's definitely worth a visit! For all ages!

Very warm and friendly welcome from the lady behind the bar today for lunch. Chicken burger, chunky chips and salad £10.50! Bacon cheese burger, chunky chips and salad £12.50! Amazing value I’m going to try the home made lasagna next time. Salad wasn’t 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 🍻

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

Most pleasant Sunday lunch out we've enjoyed of late. Lovely fresh home cooked food, fair value. Good choices. Efficient, friendly & professional staff, a really well run pub!

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.

You can always rely on quality food and great service. There are always fantastic events scheduled throughout the year, from live music to steam engine displays. A fine example of a great pub.
Rating: 5 / 5
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.

A great find today in the middle of a long car journey with the dog. We ordered the chicken supreme off the specials board and it was hands down the best meal we’ve had in a restaurant in a long while. Succulent chicken, delicious creamy sauce, crisp broccoli, and perfectly sautéed cherry tomatoes on (cooked twice?) roasted new potatoes ( I think 🤔) 😋 Worth every penny ✌🏼😎 Thanks

Went here for Sunday lunch as a group of 10 and the food was exceptional. Everyone was very happy with their food, we had a mixture of pork, lamb and beef orders. Desserts of crumble, Sundaes and waffles were also of a high standard. Staff were lovely and chatty and had a very welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Would recommend a visit and hope to be back in the area soon to visit again!

Highly recommend a visit here. Wonderful restaurant with a lovely ambiance. Staff are polite, professional and helpful. Food is absolutely gorgeous. Rich opulent flavours that deliver absolute joy on a plate. Fantastic place if you're on your own, having a date or meeting up with a friend or group to celebrate a special occasion. I always check out the toilets in restaurants because it says a lot about the hygiene of the place. I found them to be clean and tidy. I will be visiting again for some truly unforgettable pasta! Thanks team La Vita.

I'm from Australia and visited with local friends when passing through this part of England. I believe the restaurant is relatively new but it didn't matter as the service was first right and the food and beverage offerings were really impressive. A wide range of offerings on the menu and you won't be disappointed if you come here after authentic delicious Italian food.
