Lovely new cafe in the old Sandford pub. It's been fully refurbished and still has a bar and pool table, but with cafe vibes. Fantastic food, the quality and sizes were fantastic. The single JZ chicken burger was unbelievable, the double could feed a family on its own. Very friendly staff and warm atmosphere. Well recommended.

The staff here are OUTSTANDING! Even though it was busy they were all very friendly. Food was AMAZING!!!! they also don't rush you to leave which I found really nice. This is a place I plan on coming too on a weekly basis. The owners are on hand and very polite and approachable. This is a must visit for anyone

Breakfast at Rivo’s was absolutely delicious- freshly cooked, good quality and excellent value.(Hubs had the full English breakfast with black pudding, I had the small breakfast) Tea & coffee served in generous sized mugs - always a winner in my eyes! Staff are welcoming and friendly, everything is clean and well-stocked. Automotive theme is carried throughout- loved the menus! We were there for 10am opening, along with many others, so no wait for a table - but if you do have to wait it would absolutely be worth it! We will definitely be back.

Amazing and incredibly friendly place hosted by Richie Rivers and his lovey partner Laura Ann Smith. Richie is the organiser of the Dorset Volksfest and a forces veteran. Bring your ride to the hub and take photos of your pride and joy in the garage area with its murals on the walls. VW's, Americana, Exotica Motorbikes and indeed your cycle are all welcome. Have a great coffee,cake and a chat. Can't recommend this place more highly. Come down and be surprised 👍 Update: Hot and delicious food is now available from Rivo's Food Shack. This place is getting popular and deservedly so. Thursday night is Bike night and weekend events are coming thick and fast. Love this place and can't recommend this place enough. Well worth a visit for all ages.

“I had lunch there today with my sister. She had beef rib and I had the ham, egg and chips. Both were delicious. The chips were the best I've had in a long time. Service was good and staff were quick to clear and wipe down tables.”

“We were recommended to eat lunch here at The Duke of Wellington by one of the locals we met in the street. Great value, piping hot food, served promptly and with a friendly smile! Thank you especially to Susie who made my mum and dad feel very welcome. The ham, egg and chips were really tasty as was the scampi. Lagers and beer were also great! We all really enjoyed our delicious food and a nice window seat. We will definitely visit again and recommend this super pub!”

“The most perfect stay at The Priory - I cannot recommend this beautiful hotel enough. The service provided was impeccable (attention to detail has been better than a few Michelin star restaurants we have visited) the food was absolutely delicious, we had afternoon tea which was sublime and breakfast on our balcony one morning which was wonderful, the rooms are stunning and the little details like getting a newspaper delivered in the morning is quite lovely. The grounds are also immaculately kept. It is not my first time visiting the priory and certainly won’t be my last, highly recommended! You will not be disappointed.”
