Today was one of those rare moments where you transcend your day to day life and sit in giddy awe of something magical. Every single element of the experience from arrival to the reluctant departure was so considered and full of surprise, wonder and delight. Genuinely happy and passionate people guiding you through moments of joy that don’t let up. This isn’t a restaurant, it’s a parallel dimension of bliss.

Absolutely delicious meal at Osip on Sunday... Couldn't fault it to be honest.. every course was spot on in seasoning and taste. The only shame is that the kitchen enjoys the best views across the fields but, when they're turning out such lovely food, you have to give them that!

Had the most amazing evening at the newly opened Osip. From the time we entered , the atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed. The tasting menu was creative and delicious and every course was a delight. The service was impeccable and delivered with such enthusiasm. All of the staff were knowledgeable and friendly and Millie in particular was fabulous. I can’t recommend this restaurant highly enough. Can’t wait to go back.

Wonderful meal what a gastonomic feast. Highly recommend. Only negative was the bar man after the meal was more interested in his admin than serving out the meal so we could get home.

The taster menu was superb. The experience was fun and there were surprises with every course. The setting is in a beautiful location and the staff are immaculate and attentive.

DFD did an incredible job catering our wedding last year, the food and service was truly sensational. Many of our London guests frequent some of the finest restaurants globally and were all astounded by the quality of food served, with many commenting that it was the best they had ever had at a wedding. Thank you especially for helping us put together such a personal menu for our special day. It meant a lot to us that our family and friends were able to share in a meal that truly represented us as a couple. We were particularly grateful for the level of attentiveness shown to our guests with dietary requirements, who felt truly included in the day with their carefully considered alternative meals. A wholly outstanding service, thank you!

Dorset Fine Dining recently catered our wedding and they couldn't have done a better job. Nick, Georgina and the whole team are excellent at what they do - the food tasted great, and the staff was so professional that we didn't have to think about anything at all on the day. Many guests commented on how smoothly the day ran, and a big part of the credit must go to these guys!

As part of our venue booking we were recommended the team at Dorset Fine Dining to provide all catering for our entire day. After one look at their brochure we were sold and spoke with Georgina to start to discuss our requirements. The team ensured that our requirements were not only met, but were exceeded above all expectations. All of our guests have told us, that the food was the best wedding food they have ever had. We both agreed that eating our wedding food was like eating at a Michelin starred restaurant, still to this day, we’ve not had a better roast lamb anywhere else! Nick, Georgina & Victoria ensured that the day ran perfectly without a hitch. The drinks were always kept cold (IMPORTANT!!) and the waiters were of the highest quality of professionalism. It was perfect, every little detail was perfect and we couldn’t have been happier. Thank you to everyone at DFD and if you’re reading this and still on the fence, take our advice and CHOOSE THEM!

I cannot recommend Dorset Fine Dining enough! We held our wedding at Symondsbury Estate in April 2022 and they were nothing short of fantastic. Georgina and her team on the day were organised, friendly, approachable and the food was fantastic. The team were so lovely, it was like having extra guests with us on the day! Our friends and family complimented them all throughout the day, they really did add an extra special touch to our special day. If I could give DFD 6 stars then I would- thank you Nick, Victoria, Georgina and the team! xxx

Dorset Fine Dining recently provided the catering for our event at Porsche Centre Portsmouth, celebrating the launch of the Porsche Electric Macan. From start to finish, their service was nothing short of outstanding! The team perfectly met our brief, thoughtfully complementing the Provence/purple colour theme with creative and beautifully presented food and drink selections. The attention to detail in both flavour and presentation truly elevated the event, impressing both our guests and team alike. The professionalism and passion of Dorset Fine Dining were evident in every aspect of their service. If you're looking for catering that combines elegance, creativity, and exceptional quality, we highly recommend Dorset Fine Dining. Thank you for helping make our event truly unforgettable!

We were visiting for the weekend from Portsmouth and we fell in love with this hidden Gem. The food was beautiful, some of the best pork belly I have ever tasted as well as the quirkiness of this pub which is divine. 10/10… if only you were closer we would be here all the time but it was perfect.

’The Dog house’ A local pub that has got it so right! Simple ‘locally sourced’ fresh food cooked as you order!!! (Large Fire oven cooked) and ALL healthy and tasty! Yes! Yes! Yes! ‘IF’ Your like hubby and I and Love Fresh local produce, cooked on a rather large fire oven/grill ‘bespoke handmade’ and using natural fresh herbs plus Spices and fresh salad and veg! Then try ‘The Dog House’ Dorset,in Gill ! Going to go again Sat with close friends coming for the day (tried it out last night beforehand) and will go again with close friends in Mere and another friend Trudie Maidment , yes Trudie it’s lovely we must go soon! So many dishes you all share at the table as each dish comes out as freshly cooked. Lovely to see your working here Hayley Warren (nice surprise! and for serving last night) See you all again Saturday lunch time 💕😋

Delicious food, fabulous service and a lovely atmosphere. The food is cooked over fire and is superb - I had the bavette steak which was cooked to perfection. We had a selection of sides and the Hisbi cabbage is highly recommended. With fire cooking the food is cooked to temperature not to time so all the main courses don’t arrive at the same time - not a problem just keep nibbling on the lovely side dishes. Will be back!!

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Dog House. Visited here a few days before Christmas with our next door neighbours for something to eat and a few drinks. Loved the decor and ambience of the establishment. Its an olde world feel to the place but with modern twist. Staff very welcoming and friendly whilst being unobtrusive. The food was so good and was served promptly too. Can't recommend this place enough and ŵe will definitely be back. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed.

Perfection on 4 plates! Our second visit to this excellent restaurant. The food, once again was a delight as much for the eyes as for the taste!

What a surprise. La Fleur de Lys deserves its good reputation. Food was of a very high standard and the service was discreet and professional. The chef came to the table to check all were satisfied and we were. I wasn't expecting such a treat.

We stayed and dined at the Fleur de Lys and it was absolutely delightful. The accommodation is comfortable, quiet, and clean. Mary and David are truly graceful hosts and assisted with some arrangements for us, and it is clear that they are well to connected with the best professionals in the area. The food is as exceptional as other reviews suggest. Thank you so much for a great stay!

Our first time at The Fleur De Lys for dinner. From the moment we set foot in this small hotel, all was perfect. We were shown to the bar where we had aperitifs, then to our table . We all had different starters and mains; all were absolutely delicious and beautifully presented! The service and atmosphere was low key yet excellent. This was our first time at The Fleur De Lys and certainly not the last! well done!

We had our choir Christmas lunch at The Dolphin today and it was amazing! The food was superb (as always), the service was excellent, and our wonderful hosts Julie and Andy looked after our every need. This was the second year our group ( there were 17 of us today) have chosen The Dolphin for our Christmas lunch and I can’t imagine that anywhere else could better our experience today.

Excellent lunch with different options and not your usual choices either. They do a set menu with 2 or 3 courses as an option. I chose off the normal menu and had aubergine stuffed with a side of fries very good portion and very flavoursome. The other person did the same and had a fishcake, which was much enjoyed. We shared a pudding of poached figs, which again was delicious. Would recommend it and I will return

Bit of a long wait for food (Was on Saturday mind) food was absolutely fantastic quality and brilliant flavour. We got drinks fairly quickly. Service was very cheerful and accommodating, would return here. Easy to find. No loud music - able to actually talk at the dinner table which is a HUGE deal.

Popped into the Walnut Tree without a booking at lunchtime. We arrived at 12.00 and we were made very welcome by the staff and the new owners. The food was excellent, we both had the chicken BBQ melt with salad and chips. Quick service and the food was lovely and hot. We look forward to calling in on a Sunday to try out the carvery one day soon. All in all a super pub, great staff and a comfortable atmosphere. We are sure the new owners will make very good hosts.
Rating: 4 / 5
Food ok carvery a hefty £17.95, chicken salad was lovely... Staff mostly young and didn't seem experienced., they were trying their best but need more guidance...some staff just looked unhappy...Wait to be served at carvery and deserts were brought out one at a time and slowly so some of us had nearly finished desert. Latte was warm . Pub very busy and noisy. Carvery meat lovely but some veg not brilliant, it was late afternoon so maybe first sitting would be better service.

I dropped by one evening when I was too tired to drive home to refuel with a coffee.. and ended up staying for dinner! Wonderful food. Great service and enjoyed sitting in the well heated (some were saying too well heated!) sun room / conservatory. Nice atmosphere. Only had one hitch which was the automatic air freshener blasting off in the disabled toilet (downstairs) which set off my allergies -unlikely to be a problem for most people. But the staff were right on it, took my condition seriously (yay) and assisted me upstairs to the regular toilet. I requested that this issue could be resolved e.g. by enabling a manual mode for the air freshener and the member of staff assured me that this would be passed on.. Looking forward to another visit, when this particular problem is resolved. I hope! :)

First visit this evening and we will certainly visit again. Staff helpful and attentive, it was a relaxed atmosphere, and we were certainly not rushed. The food was excellent, the salmon and asparagus was superb and the chicken in cream and mushroom sauce was equally as good. Good selection of pasta and pizza dishes on the menu and a great kids menu. We had a lovely evening, thank you San Tonino.

A group of us went here for a meal to celebrate a birthday. I messaged beforehand to check they were able to provide a vegan alternative. They replied quickly with a list of different items they could adapt to be vegan. I opted for the Calzone as I haven't had the chance to have one since going vegan. It was absolutely delicious! The man (who I presume owns the place) was incredibly helpful and attentive. I fully recommend eating here! I'm looking forward to returning.

Lovely old chapel and the decor was fantastic, ordered onion rings to start and despite the price of £5.90 they were frozen, albeit well cooked and crispy. The Hawaiian pizza was basic and uniform, I was expecting a more hand tossed rustic base but the ingredients were good quality. The chips again were basic frozen fries and quite costly at £5.90. I wasn’t introduced to the specials board which disappointed me too. I’m glad I went to try the place but wouldn’t return.

We stumbled across this place on a short visit to Shaftesbury. Such an amazing building and interior, but by far the best bits are the staff and the food. Absolutely delicious food and incredibly friendly and helpful staff. It was quite quiet during our visit which can have an impact on the atmosphere - depending on what you're after - but I'd definitely recommend a visit!
