Lovely food...a touch of home cooking and very friendly helpful staff. Reasonably priced and large portions too. Highly recommend Chicken in Brie sauce
Rating: 5 / 5
We were visiting family and travelled from quite far so we aren't familiar with the area but this place seems like it must be a local gem. The staff were amazing and so friendly, they couldn't be more helpful. The atmosphere was great and the food was so good. The price was so reasonable too for the quality of the food. Would recommend this place to everyone and will definitely visit again when back in the area. Thank you for a lovely lunch!

We visited Beaminster today for the first time. Nice church with a friendly 'Walk in Wednesday' group. Several interesting shops. We looked at several cafes before going into Dexters on the main street just almost opposite to the square. Only small with about 8 tables but with a French bistro look. Very clean. Friendly staff. They are open for breakfast, lunch and evening meals. Several people came in to book tables, so it might be worthwhile to do so on the busier days. We both had 'small breakfasts' with a pot of Clipper tea. It was enough for 2 cups each. The breakfast was piping hot and comprised of toast and butter, hash brown, beans, tomato, fried egg, sausage, mushrooms and bacon. All cooked to perfection and well presented. At only £6.50 ea. for the breakfast and £2 ea for the tea, we thought this was good value. Well worth a visit!!

The Clockspire Restaurant
Gainsborough, Milborne Port, Sherborne DT9 5BA, UK | Restaurant P: 01963 251458
Rating: 4.8 (319) Price Level:
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.

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.

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.

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.

Tangerine

Rating: 4.8 (37) Price Level:
An amazing cafe just off the picturesque Beaminster square! Superb homemade food, good sized portions, and delicious coffee. The hosts are lovely, and this is a must visit cafe if you are in the area!
Rating: 5 / 5
Visited the Tangerine Cafe yesterday for the first time on our way down to West Bay (a short hop). The cafe is a perfect haven of calm with a cosy coffee shop, light and quiet orangery and a beautiful tea garden. There are also books and art work for sale. The food is varied, original and very tasty. We each had something different and really enjoyed the coconut peanut butter French toast and lovely fresh strawberries, Greek salad, scrambled eggs, French toast and bacon. The coffee is very good indeed. Sue, Chris and the team were very welcoming and we will definitely be back soon.
Rating: 5 / 5
Adorable little café with a few vegan option in the small village of Beamister, the café itself is very cozy with different rooms and a lovely garden (it was winter when we visited so we enjoyed the garden from inside), the kitchen is visible so it feels like a family gathering. Service was very attentive and helpful. We had the vegan Sunday roast and the toast with creamed corn, both very good.

Fantastic find. Quirky, friendly & good value. Try it! We saw a sign to the Gallery in the market square in Beaminster and I popped down the road for a look as the pub we had intended to visit had just stopped food service. I am so glad we did find the Tangerine Gallery & Cafe. The place is a maze of small individual rooms, so social distancing is no problem. My wife and I chose to eat in the lovely cottage garden. Again, there is a choice of places to sit - we chose the hexagonal summer house. The staff were very friendly and, just as it says on the menu, everything is prepared fresh. The raspberry milk shake was bursting with fresh raspberries. We both chose the pork stir fry (good value at £7.90) and everything tasted crisp and fresh. We liked it so much that we took two slices of their lovely Dorset Apple Cake and Marmalade Bread Pudding away with us. Being a gallery, there were paintings and craft works for sale as well. We chose a new mascot for our caravan. If you are in the area, I really recommend the Tangerine Cafe.

This was a spur of the moment stop to break up a long journey home and we are so glad we did. The cafe itself has been beautifully designed with beautiful garden and interesting local artwork. The menu was fantastic and had specials that changed daily (I loved the bubble and squeak and poached egg) and it was so lovely to be able to see in the kitchen. It also had really good glueten free options. The owners were incredibly friendly and chatty and made us feel really welcome.

The White Horse
North St, Haselbury Plucknett, Crewkerne TA18 7RJ, UK | Pub P: 01460 78873
Rating: 4.8 (290) Price Level:
We were in the area and booked lunch with relatively short notice. Having never been before we were all very impressed and so glad we did. Great food, great service and a lovely country pub. If we lived closer, The White Horse would quickly become our regular. We even spoke about visiting the area again, simply to come back here!

We were staying in down for my birthday. I looked on Google for somewhere for a Sunday roast. Reviews looked good. Have yo say best roast I have had out. Well done to all the team who were working extremely hard to give good service and good food. Lady taking our payment said they do similar midweek. Give it a try.

We had an absolutely lovely Sunday lunch platter here
Rating: 5 / 5
The staff were very attentive , accommodating ( we have 2 toddlers) , and friendly we could not fault it . Im glad we booked as they called back to say we left a changing bag , where would we be without that!! We shared the platter for 2 and the food was insane! i could have had a whole bowl of the pork with that dirty mash it was sooo good. If youre staying anywhere within 15 miles of this place its def worth the trip if youre a foodie.

HOLM Somerset
28 St James's St, South Petherton TA13 5BW, UK | Restaurant P: 01460 712470
Rating: 4.8 (192) Price Level:
Holm was a great experience! The hotel is very nice and the staff are lovely. The food is superb and served in portions one can enjoy without having to miss dessert (due to over-eating). It’s an experience, and I for one want to go back again - soon! One thing to note is that there’s no hotel parking, due to its location, but there’s a nearby free car park.

We had an excellent time here enjoying the outstanding tasting menu for my partner’s birthday. Every aspect was pure perfection - huge credit to the people who manage this place, the kitchen and the front of house staff. They’re all so on point, highly recommended!
Rating: 5 / 5
This was such a special evening. From the moment we arrived we were warmly welcomed by Sean. The room was beautiful and so comfortable. The meal was spectacular. We had the tasting menu and it was delicious. I loved the pasta dish and the torched mackerel but every dish and every mouthful was perfect. The restaurant was beautiful and there was a great atmosphere. The service was spot on. So attentive but not stuffy. Annie looked after us so well and she was so friendly and informative. The breakfast the next morning was also next level. Such a special stay and we can’t wait to return.
Rating: 5 / 5
We visited after reading good reviews, and came away really impressed. The town is small but a bit of a hidden gem, and this place is a fantastic addition. We did a Sunday lunch and the food was excellent, really nice touches in all the dishes - elevated but not overly fancy. Service was very friendly, and the dining area was roomier than expected (not trying to squeeze people in which I hate) and had a buzzy atmosphere. We will definitely visit again next time we are in the area.

Just back from a great weekend away at HOLM in South Petherton. This is your quintessential trendy restaurant with stylish rooms in rural idyll type place. The food in the restaurant is good. It’s taster menu only - an experience - and as you would expect of this kind of foodie place, the dishes are rich and experimental. We didn’t love all of them but the potato soup with ragout and the duck main were very very good. The rooms are stylish and minimalist and perfectly comfortable. The staff are attentive and friendly. The surrounding village and wider area really is a beautiful part of the world. If you are looking for a romantic getaway with a partner or group of friends I’d thoroughly recommend HOLM.

Went for a Mexican and half price cocktails on a Wednesday evening. Mexican is cooked in a van in the car park, but served in the bar/conservatory - excellent food (real cutlery but takeaway boxes).

A stellar experience. Lovely service from the team, who clearly are passionate about what they do. The steak I had was maybe the best I have ever been served - a lovely cut and cooked perfectly. Just a great experience.

Good food and a very comfortable dining experience. Service was excellent and food is always served freshly cooked. Plenty of seating outside with views across the whole valley. Great place to watch the sun go down. Dog friendly and a good children's menu. Recommended to book for an inside table or larger group.

Great traditional village pub with garden, friendly and welcoming and serving excellent food and drink. Extensive menu with something for everyone, kids included, and generous portions, beautifully cooked. Highly recommend.

We heard from the owner of our holiday let that this pub was under new ownership so we thought we'd give it a try and we both had lovely meals. There's a small car park adjacent along with a small garden. The locals park right outside the pub door making entry and exit difficult but that's locals for you.

Rating: 5 / 5
We recently had an amazing meal out here. The cosy pub setting was relaxing and pleasant to sit in. A great selection of drinks on tap and bottled as well. The service was very good indeed, polite and friendly, our food was served very (but not too) quickly! Three of the six of us had fish and chips, it was the best I have had for a very long time, with lovely light batter and delicate fish. The chips and onion rings are also proper pub standard, we enjoyed this very much! Our grandparents very much enjoyed the senior citizens options - these were a selection of slightly smaller and cheaper meals, but were still a generous amount of food and great value for money. We highly recommend and would return - an amazing choice of mains, specials, sides, desserts and 'small plates' for any occasion!
Rating: 5 / 5
we stopped in for lunch and found the pub to be a very comfortable location to visit; eat and drink . We only had a sandwich and chips with drinks, but the meals other guests had looked very nice with good portions The staff were very helpful and this is a dog friendly location
