I have been before but my friend had not and we both enjoyed our lunch. She was impressed with the choice of food and teas/coffees and loved the ambience. My rarebit was tasty and she said her fish quiche was delicious but a very generous portion that she couldn't finish. Staff were helpful, friendly and attentive without being overbearing. We will certainly be back.

Wonderful cafe! Delicious food and drink. Menu and specials board full of yummy food. Warm enough to sit outside too. Lots of seating. Really great barn conversion too. Service was lovely. Definite recommend

We had the Halloumi Wrap and the Roasted Veg. Hummus Avocado Baguette. Both were delicious. Nice setting and a large menu generally with some more vegan options such as the Butternut Squash Soup. Good pricing too and service.
Rating: 5 / 5
Amazing food, highly recommend the halloumi wrap or the quiche. Friendly staff although service was a little slow, however it was busy so to be expected to an extent. Great value for money on food and drink choices and lovely cosy atmosphere. Recommend a visit for an authentic Dorset countryside experience

An incredible hidden gem! Staff were so helpful and friendly. Having a large booking they rang the day before to confirm brought over extra chairs when required as well. The food was incredible the portions don’t look big but I left so full and having had the best time! The dishes were so aesthetically pleasing to the eye and had one of the best afternoon teas I’ve had. Only criticism is for the scones more jam and cream required on the afternoon teas but it was still delicious nonetheless.

We found this restaurant when exploring Wareham. The small plates lunch menu was fantastic. Super tasty and amazing value. If we are in the area again we will return
Rating: 5 / 5
a really good Italian restaurant! Me and my girlfriend went out eating tonight and had a great time. The team and the food was amazing I recommend it to anyone it’s a better alternative than the old granary or the quay INN in my opinion! Also recommend to book a table instead of just walking in in the evening

Really delicious food I can tell special care has been taken and I didn’t mind waiting. Attentive staff and nice atmosphere.

The Italian Kitchen is the perfect spot to dine and unwind. They serve stunning, high-quality food at great prices. The service is impeccable—every staff member is helpful, attentive, and genuinely happy to assist. We’ve loved every meal we’ve ever had there. They even serve homemade bread while you wait for your starter or main course, which is a lovely touch. Whether it’s for a date night or a corporate works meal, The Italian Kitchen never disappoints. The quality has never faltered or wavered—it’s truly the best Italian restaurant we’ve ever experienced. We highly recommend a visit! Would recommend the squid starter, spicy nduja pizza's and the creamy tuscan chicken are some of our personal favourites!

We meet with friends on Sunday for lunch, and all went for the burgers. These were as per our other visits, amazing. We did see a few roasts go out, and questioned our choice, as these looked incredible. The staff were friendly and provided some really good banter, to make it a great atmosphere. At the end, the Landlord place a huge plate of the lovely Yorkshire pubs on the bar for anyone that wanted one for free. Our friends were extremely impressed and will most certainly be going back.

Had a delicious Roast Beef lunch here today. Couldn’t fault it! Reasonably priced. Fresh. Cooked to perfection and extremely tasty. Enjoyed every mouthful. The best I have had in a very long time. Will def return!

Visited this pub on a cycling trip. Had a warm welcome on arrival. Menu was really good and lunch bar snacks were great. Fish finger sandwich was just delicious. Proper cod fish fingers, really delicious. Bar man filled up our water bottles with fresh cold water that was most welcomed. All in all what an amazing village pub. Well worth a trip out for the food.

Fantastic food and beer in a lovely pub. Posh fish n chips from the specials board was amazing. Service was attentive without being intrusive. A little pricey but I did close the most expensive thing on the menu. That's quite a few birthdays we have celebrated here.

Out on my bike today and needed a coffee. I was on some quiet roads andso was very happy to come across this bar, cafe, restaurant. It looks very nice inside. Today was only for a coffee but also had a homemade sausage roll which turned out to be beautiful. The guys warmed it up for me too!. I was disappointed that they didn’t have skimmed milk but as I was on a long ride it was all good. The coffee was, however, very nice, they made it extra hot for me and made it in a larger cup which was more cappuccino style. Price for the 2 was £7.25. The place was popular with people having meals out in the sun and other cyclists. Plenty of parking. I’d love to return.

Rating: 4 / 5
Service with a smile and a jolly atmosphere inside. Visited for food only and did not stay overnight. My partner and I both had the house burger which was to die for! A solid and tasty beef patty in a toasted bun with a bucket of fries is always a winner! 🍔 🤩 Passing visit for a quick stop to eat after a long drive. Easy access with plenty of parking.Was busy when we visited so service was slower than we would normally expect. Slightly on the more pricey side.

We stopped off for lunch here between destinations based on Google reviews and it did not disappoint. Great setting - a real gastro pub. Thatched. Very rustic decor. Lovely staff - very accommodating - and fabulous food. Great value for money. Would definitely recommend.

WOW what a beautiful pub, great service and very good food. Perfect stop off. Also allows dogs inside. Thanks for a great visit. Will definitely be back when we head West again.

Had a family meal today. Seven of us. Some chose from the Christmas menu and some not. The food was delicious and hot. The service was great too. They were happy to allow us to pay for what each couple had. There were crackers on the table and they were fab, each had the usual hat and joke in but it was the little gift that was lovely. We each had a cardboard tree decoration which could be easily assembled and was very sturdy. This was our second year for our meet up and we shall be going again next year.

The Bear Wareham
14 South St, Wareham BH20 4LT, UK | Hotel P: Not available
Rating: 4.4 (329) Price Level:
The staff could not be more attentive! The rooms are excellent and the bathrooms are superb. Breakfast was to die for… with Five Star hospitality, excellent accommodation, delicious food, and located in the heart of this beautiful town, we could not have had a better mini-break. Thank you to the Staff at The Bear. If I could, I would have given Six Stars.

My wife and I booked a table for Sunday lunch. The service was brilliant, staff are polite and friendly and try their best to do a good job. My wife had a traditional Sunday roast and I had chargrilled sea bass, both followed by apple crumble and ice cream. Orders were taken shortly after we arrived with our meals arriving shortly after. Both meals were cooked to perfection and were piping hot. Tables were cleared quickly and our dessert order was taken. Every aspect of the service was 1st class. Many thanks to the staff & chefs for a lovely Sunday lunch. Easiest 5* review for a long time. Please see my pictures. 👍🙂

Spent three nights at The Bear whilst visiting the area for an Autumn break. Perfect location for visiting the Etches collection, Arne nature reserve and the coast. Lovely decor in the room, very comfy and cosy bed, good quality teas abd coffees provided. We stayed in Fozzie room which was towards the back and very quiet overnight. We used the Autumn offer and had one discounted meal and free bottle of wine. The food was excellent. Also one of the best hotel breakfasts we've had. All the staff we met were so friendly and welcoming, thank you and we will definitely return!

We weren’t staying at the hotel, but had dinner here on a Sunday night during a trip to Wareham/Ridge for my brother’s birthday. The staff were friendly and attentive on arrival, and we felt well looked after. No sign of Chef Carmy but I assume he was busy at the pass. The food was all delicious! I had the pork belly and it was some of the best I can remember having! Nice and crispy on the fat side, not too fatty, and not too oily or chewy. Just perfect overall, and topped with an amazing salsa verde! The accompanying potatoes and veg were also delicious. Everyone else’s meals were excellent, came exactly as asked, and were all well portioned and flavourful. I’d politely recommend The Bear to anyone visiting Wareham, and will be back if I’m ever down in these parts again.

The Old Granary
The Quay, Wareham BH20 4LP, UK | Restaurant P: 01929 552010
Rating: 4.3 (2158) Price Level:
Our experience at the Old Granary left us with mixed emotions and sadly we won't return. this was our third lunch here and we were excited to bring a good friend with us. We are not local to the area and had not vistied on a Saturday before. On our arrival we were surprised to find that the parking area was filled with a market and we had no idea where we could park. We pulled over and our guest popped in to enquire as to where we could find parking. He was met by a frosty unhelpful lady who shrugged and said she didn't know, and by her attitutude she didn't care either. Fortunately when stopping the gentleman also assiting at front of house, some directions to parking were proferred. The first impression for our guest though was not what we had hoped for. Our table was in a loud and busy area, which would have made it impossible for conversation, something to note when making your booking. Fortunately, and a plus on the service experience, we were able to be seated in a quieter area. The Old Granary is an attractively detailed pub and we liked the decor. Issey, our server was fabulous. Great smile, engaging and she rescued the lunch on the whole. Food wise, we had the Larder sharing platter which was well presented and tasty, classic fish and chips, the chicken and bacon pie, and the sirloin. The sirloin was not the best and quite pricey even for steak, and was a bit of a disappointment. After a rainy day the sun evetually broke through the clouds and we wanted to take advantage of the deck area alongside the river for a drink and dessert. As requested duly settled our account and headed outside with our drinks, I popped inside for a menu to be told by front of house that because of the weather no food was being served outside, not even dessert. This was in case the rain returned and we needed to come inside and tables were not available. It was late afternoon, between sittings with many empty tables, and when settling our lunch bill I had stated we wanted to have dessert outside and was told that this would not be a problem. We were a table of 3 an our bill was about £50per person... Overall not very hospitable, and not what we expected from our previous lunches a disappointing end to our afternoon.

Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Rather slow service but there were seven of us. Food was good - I had the Hake which was excellent - but the portion sizes could be slightly larger. Would definitely go back another time.

The roast dinner here on a Sunday is outstanding. Big portion, great value for money. The lamb was delicious and all the vegetables were perfect for my tastes. This is a classic country pub atmosphere with friendly staff and a comfortable decor.

The food was absolutely delicious. Everything was well cooked and hot apart from the chips that came with the steak which was slightly disappointing. The service was fantastic.

I was staying at the Royal Oak for Easter, I pointed out a few issues and management could not have been more reactive and went over a beyond to make my stay enjoyable. They hide their light under a bushel and are too shy to advertise their environmentally-friendly incentives in the rooms. If you need to stay in Bere Regis, go for the Royal Oak, it is comfy and quiet and you'll get a great service.
