We really enjoyed a private 'Sip & See' party at Breezy Ridge for a few hours in the afternoon. Lovely spacious venue which catered for our needs - tea/coffee/Prosecco/cake. Lots of parking and friendly and helpful staff. Thank you!

I can't thank the team at Breezy Ridge enough for all their efforts to make a Maid of Honour proposal go smoothly! Becky's communications were fab prior to the evening and everyone was on board to make sure the dinner went ahead without a hitch. The food is fantastic and the place is a real asset to the local area, there aren't many places like this around without having to travel quite far out. The team are super friendly and the atmosphere in the restaurant is gorgeous, beautifully decorated and wonderfully intimate. I can't wait to come back!

We were in the area and stopped by this lovely vineyard restaurant for dinner. The food was delicious, the sparkling wine was lovely and the service was friendly. The food was tapas style. My favourites were the croquettes (we tried ham and crab) as well as the tomato and mozzarella salad. Highly recommend.

“If you would like to have a delicious variety of food and desserts wrapped in a dog friendly welcoming, relaxed atmosphere topped with an amazing customer service - this is the perfect place! The also have Vegan and Gluten free options :-) We were served by Renata (the owner) , a lovely woman that definitely understands the importance of having the knowledge of the ingredients in the different dishes and the attention coffee beans needs to be able to produce the perfect cup of coffee. We highly recommend to give the King Alfred’s kitchen a visit as it’s 5* in every way!!!”

“I've now tried all the cafes in Shaftesbury, by far this is the best coffee around (Oat flat white). The staff behind the counter were all delightful, atmosphere is really cosy and friendly with the larger 'shared table' in the middle. Vegan cakes were always available. Dogs welcome!”

“Been a customer for many years. Standards inevitably go up and down, but the food on my last visit was best ever, lots of fresh flavours, really tasty. Bit of a shame the prices have gone up so significantly, today, but they are probably only catching up with the rest of the sector, post-covid.”

“I am giving this five as it is a museum piece. Opened in 1976 it has never changed. Been decorated regularly, but kept the original features. So if you want a 70's cafe with frothy coffee & fried food this is the place. They do have the modern coffee & up to date delights of the 21st century, but keep the old favourites. The breakfast are fun as are the lunches. Some good photos of old Shaftesbury on display. The manager has been there for 43 years, so the owners must be great too.”
