This was our third time eating here and once again it didn't disappoint. There were 4 of us and we shared a number of dishes, all of which were delicious. The restaurant was busy with a great atmosphere and the staff were so helpful and friendly. Our waitress was brilliant and very patient with us as we tried to decide what to order. The manager was also very friendly, chatting to everyone and making sure we were all enjoying our meal. We will definitely be back.

The food was amazing here with a good choice of tapas. There were a good variety of gluten free options on the menu. The service was a little slow, but they had a huge party of people to deal with and kept us informed. Lovely choice of cocktails and mocktails, too.

We decided to try this place out as we only live just down the road from it and I'm so glad we did. We had a breakfast and were not disappointed. Everything was superb, brilliant value for money and great produce used. And what's more we were really impressed with the welcoming hospitality of the staff. This is rare to find and so pleased when we experienced it. We highly recommend this place and will be returning as a regular for sure with friends and family. Keep up the good work

Best kept secret around. This place is an absolute gem! It's clean, modern, well priced and the food is excellent! Ironically the fish & chips is a bit bland, but I've been there many times since, and everything else I've ordered has been excellent.

We stopped in while visiting from America. I would consider the White House to be an upscale pub. The ambience is great! Lots of stone and heavy wooden beams. There were lots of locals there when we were there which is always a good sign. The staff was wonderful! The food was truly excellent! Every starter and entree was done to perfection! If we lived in the area we would be here often!

Ok, it's great tasting food for sure, but can get a bit noisy when busy due to the wooden decorated design inside. But it gets busy because it's good. Always best to book. Cater for parties.

We have stayed here three times since 1980. Still in the same expert ownership. Beautiful country manor house. Well maintained in a discreet style. Fabulous food, interesting wine list with a range of half bottles too. Good value for Londoners!!! Friendly relaxed service. Welcoming sitting room with open fire. Make a special journey to visit if you can.

We thoroughly enjoyed our one night at Plumber Manor. The staff were without exception helpful, friendly and efficient. We had a beautifully cooked dinner and the breakfast was first-rate. The hotel is in a quiet location and the grounds are kept very well with attractive topiary and well-planted borders. We would definitely return another time.

I have been all over the world and have stayed and dined at numerous hotels. Since 1991 I have stayed several times, every year, at Plumber Manor and I can in all honesty say that I have nowhere felt as comfortable and at home as in that wonderful little Country Hotel tucked away in lovely Dorset. Also the food and wine list are superb and the fact that Plumber Manor was elected best Hotel in Southern England in 2024 is totally justifiable.

We went to Plumber Manor for a birthday meal whilst visiting Dorset. The service, comfort, ambience and food were all exceptional. This is a fabulous hotel and restaurant with a relaxed and efficient style set in beautiful gardens. The menu offers something for every taste and palette, the waiting staff are efficient, unobtrusive and professional. We would definitely visit again and we thank you for an enjoyable and memorable evening. Lin and family.

This is amazing. Their family are superb they help with everything including deliveries. Their shop has everything and I would travel 1 hour to go head because it’s so good. Mr Andy Dike is very helpful and nice and runs the shop very well. My son has become very fond of the Williams cafe and would love to hope to meet the man himself (Will Dike) ( I think that’s his name) thanks you very much and please keep up the good work dike and son.

We used Dike & Son for our wedding catering and bar services. I truly recommend using them. Great quality produce and a seriously wide variety to offer. But it isn’t just that which sets the apart. The level of service and support given makes the day so much easier. All staff are friendly and supportive. They offered so many things going way above their duties. They supported us in making our day flow naturally. All our guests spoke highly of them and said how personable they were. I honestly couldn’t recommend them enough!

An outstanding family run company! We chose Dike & Son to provide catering and the bar at our wedding, and they really do everything in their power to provide the very best experience possible on such an important and special occasion. From the planning to the execution, these chaps are so professional and wonderfully pleasant to deal with. The quality of the food was fabulous, the guests loved them all, and they really do go way beyond to make everything run like clockwork. I can't express how grateful we are to you all, 5 stars is not enough.

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

Stayed in Marnhul for a midweek break, this the local pub. A great social hub. Locals friendly and welcoming. Landlord and staff were great. A special thanks to Mark for looking after us and the dog. It's not very often you get a really good and varied menu nowadays in a pub. This was both. We ate every night and the quality was outstanding. We had a great time.Thanks very much

Recommended by some friends who live locally. Extensive menu, although it was pizza night so we chose off that menu. Very tasty, and the side portions (chips, onion rings, garlic bread) were HUGE! Great selection of drinks as well. Does seem to be busy, so may be an idea to book ahead. Planning a return visit for a Sunday Roast! 😁
