“We had a thoroughly enjoyable and delicious dining experience at the Clockspire Restaurant this evening. Food was excellent along with the service. The old school building has been beautifully restored and creates a delightful surrounding and atmosphere, complimenting the whole experience. This has just become my favorite restaurant. We shall return.”

Really nice experience. The decor inside was very appealing and comfortable. Went for the 3 course set menu and the food was very well presented and had a lot of flavour. Waiters/waitresses polite and attentive. Will recommend to friends/family.

Overall is good, the quality it's top as the price and service. Lovely place with good atmosphere. If you're on rush, don't go, take your time and enjoy the food.

Oh my! ♥ What a magical experience visiting The Clockspire was. Where do I begin to describe the care and detail oozing from both the staff and the food, it truly is clear to see, even the toilet hand towels were folded beautifully! We decided to opt for an expensive treat due to a special birthday, but the restaurant also offers a very affordable day menu, so I would recommend for both a stunning meal out and for celebrating occasions.

“We had a lovely meal for my dad’s birthday last night. The food was excellent and the restaurant is a great edition to Sherborne’s various places to eat. The service from everyone was fabulous. My mum is disabled and finds walking difficult. Every effort was made to make sure she was comfortable, sat in a suitable seat for her disability, with even some support to walk to the restrooms. Thank you so much to everyone working that evening. It made my mum and my dad’s evening very enjoyable and special.”

“Visited this pub for a pint and some food for lunch. Chosen because of good reviews and reasonable prices for a snack. Yes that is true. Good selection of beers and well priced options for lunch, far better than the high street where a sandwich would set you back £10. Nothing grand, but all good value.”

“We had a lovely one night stay at this independent hotel. The hotel is very quirky and really well thought out with lovely touches all around. I took my 2 children and they loved playing in the big garden and our room was very spacious with a huge bed and double sofa bed. The bar is really cosy and the food at dinner and breakfast was really lovely. All the staff were very welcoming and the resident cat was a huge hit with my daughters. The location was perfect for us, just a 5 minute drive to Sherborne but in a quiet village location. Would definitely recommend this hotel and would love to stay again.”

“Such a lovely find. Such friendly service and the fish and chips were some of the best I’ve eaten. I usually find fish quite bland but this was so crispy and mooreish! Big potions too! The guys behind the counter were super friendly, chatty and kept us up to date about our order while they cooked it to order. Keep up the good work 👍🏻”
