Visit this place every time I'm in Wareham. Good selection of drinks, good menu and lovely staff. Outside seating and right by the river. Tonight was steak night. Quality meat, well presented and you cook it yourself to your liking. Loved the chips and salad. Staff were very busy but outstanding in service and very friendly.

Had an evening meal which was good value and delicious. The best steak I've had in a very long time. Sticky toffee pudding was great too although could have done with an extra blob of ice-cream given how large the portion was.

I had lunch there today with my sister. She had beef rib and I had the ham, egg and chips. Both were delicious. The chips were the best I've had in a long time. Service was good and staff were quick to clear and wipe down tables.

Had a meal here on a day out to Wareham. Very friendly staff and good atmosphere. I had a very tasty falafel burger with a glass of Dorset cider, which tasted like real cider! I would recommend.

Lovely place to stay, the rooms are situated in a very quaint building above a small shop. The room was up a steep staircase so not suitable if you are unable to climb stairs. But the view from the room was lovely, the room itself was small but clean and tidy with tea making facilities. The pub itself was lovely with very friendly staff who were happy to help in any way, the food both in the evening band at breakfast was great. Thank you to all

Me and my fiancé have never tried Thai food before and we absolutely loved it ! We had starters of prawn toast, crackers and veg rolls. Amazing portions and delicious prawn toast! We both had the pad Thai and It was a lovely noodle dish to add to my favourites! Service was friendly and we'd definitely go again!

Been coming here for a few years. Hadn't booked so just took a chance. Had a wonderful meal, as always. Had a new girl serving, who was slightly nervous but ok. Food came out quick and was very tasty. Be back next year

I /we used to visit this restaurant in Weymouth. The food is nothing less than excellent, and very typical of Thailand. Anne (the owner is charming, and 'a good cook" if you like Thai food, you will not be disappointed, )

Can't comment on the food (though it looked absolutely exquisite on the table opposite). Classic local pub. Great service, lovely customers and atmosphere with good drinks. I'm a local and come here fairly often. Would always recommend.
Rating: 4 / 5
From the outset, I'm a fussy eater, so no veg was required. They said they'd meet this and I asked for extra roast potatoes please, using the words 'lots' and reiterating several times. I was a little disappointed when it arrived. I 'should' have asked for Yorkshire puddings, it slipped my mind not having beef. The food was good, but pub was full so had to eat in the very busy beer garden. The wind was strong, the wasps a real nuisance. I was checked on, I should have asked for more, but was busy batting wasps away and just wanted to leave at that point. Wasps not pubs fault. I enjoyed what I had.

Truly amazing!!! Very helpful staff and were very welcoming of us. Menu was very varied even though it was stripped back due to Covid. Well priced food and drinks plus they stocked Purbeck cider which is a winner for me. The Mrs had lasagne which was fresh and tasty and the boy had kids fresh battered fish and chips, all sublime.

We went for the Autumn lunch menu in the Garden Room to celebrate my wife's birthday. The moment we stepped inside we were greeted as old friends and this was our first visit! The lunch was superb and the service exceptional. The Priory Hotel should have at least 4 Rosettes. They deserve it. We shall be back since it is the best restaurant in Dorset.

We went for lunch to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The staff were incredible. Great service and very knowledgeable about the grounds. Christian made us a strong, but very tasty negroni cocktail (as it was Negroni week being celebrated around the world). Food was wonderfully presented and tasted delicious. I couldn't fault it. Beautiful location. Thank you for making our day a bit more special.

The most perfect stay at The Priory - I cannot recommend this beautiful hotel enough. The service provided was impeccable (attention to detail has been better than a few Michelin star restaurants we have visited) the food was absolutely delicious, we had afternoon tea which was sublime and breakfast on our balcony one morning which was wonderful, the rooms are stunning and the little details like getting a newspaper delivered in the morning is quite lovely. The grounds are also immaculately kept. It is not my first time visiting the priory and certainly won’t be my last, highly recommended! You will not be disappointed.

This place is a little gem There are a few tables to eat at so I would strongly suggest that you book in advance. The food was absolutely fantastic The chef loves to cook and you can certainly see this and taste this when your plate arrives. Also lovely local ales to try I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and I hope you will too.

Seduction in the form of sausage rolls in the shop window 😍. Stopped to explore the town and a stroll along the river, this looked like the place to be. Good choice of sides to go with the freshly baked sausage roll, so was definitely a great choice. Coffee good too.

We had the rarebit and avocado smash. Both were decent. The highlight was the actual shop itself, which was charming, with a lovely community feel and local meat.

We were recommended to eat lunch here at The Duke of Wellington by one of the locals we met in the street. Great value, piping hot food, served promptly and with a friendly smile! Thank you especially to Susie who made my mum and dad feel very welcome. The ham, egg and chips were really tasty as was the scampi. Lagers and beer were also great! We all really enjoyed our delicious food and a nice window seat. We will definitely visit again and recommend this super pub!

We visited during the last Wareham Wednesday event and despite being very busy we had a lovely meal from a friendly team. It was Steak night and my Wife and I had a rump steak and steak burger. Both were cooked as we asked and very tasty. Excellent value all round and we'll be back.

I was interested to try their savory cream tea. I was a bit worried about how it would taste as I don't like onions that much. But, it was the best decision as I absolutely loved the onion chutney. Though it was almost crowded, I found a nice secluded spot to enjoy this delicious meal. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Wareham.

The rain had driven us away from the coast, inland, in search of quiche. It was indeed a "long dark highway and a thin white line" that led us dripping through the welcoming door of the Garden Gate Tea Room. Broad smiles and a green trouser suit greated us, what more could one ask for. The food, delicious, as was the conversation with the wonderfully friendly staff. Return? I certainly hope too.

Had a toasted tuna panini and it came with crisps and salad, my partner had a tuna mayonnaise jacket potato that came with slaw and salad. Service was great and fast, friendly staff. Prices were good and so was the food. Nice atmosphere would defo recommend as a brunch spot!

This is one of the best tea rooms I visited in Dorset. A very friendly and welcoming atmosphere - all the staff are lovely. We had lunch, and my sausage and onion quiche dish was very generous, freshly cooked, and arrived quickly. Our waiter was superb. Would definitely go back to have more of the dishes from the menu.

From the moment I saw this venue and met Heidi & Matthew I knew this would be the perfect place to hold our christening reception. Communication was faultless, food amazing and plenty of it, I couldn't fault the staff, we were a bit short on seats, but within a few minutes we had enough! We had hired someone to do some decorations in the room and I was worried as I wouldn't see them until we arrived, but Heidi spoke with the supplier and everything was perfectly set out when we arrived! I can't thank them all enough, it really was everything we wanted! Please don't hesitate to book this venue as you will not be disappointed! Thank you again xx

Our favorite place to relax and eat. Lovely comfy sofas. Cosy relaxed atmosphere. Really fresh food at a good price and nothing too much trouble. The staff go out of their way to be accommodating. Thank you to all. We have recently moved away from the area and will miss our visits to you. And we have to give a special mention to all those fabulous cakes obviously 😋 We will be there when we next visit Dorset. Keep up the good work 👍😊

Just had one of the best Sunday roast dinners I’ve ever had. I’m not crazy about veg normally but I could have eaten a whole plate today delicious. In fact it was all delicious. Service and atmosphere too was great. Not a single complaint from me it was all fantastic. Will definitely be back very soon. Thank you everyone.

Rating: 4.7 (959) Price Level:
This Indian-Nepalese restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment I walked in, the warm, inviting ambiance and friendly staff made me feel right at home. The menu is a perfect blend of traditional Indian and Nepali flavors, offering a delightful variety of dishes to satisfy any palate. The *butter chicken* was rich, creamy, and perfectly spiced, while the *momos* (Nepalese dumplings) were simply out of this world – tender, flavorful, and served with a deliciously tangy dipping sauce. The spices were just right, balancing heat and flavor without overpowering the dish. The service was impeccable, with the staff going out of their way to ensure we had a fantastic dining experience. They were knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations and ensuring we had everything we needed. Whether you're a fan of Indian cuisine or looking to try something new with a Nepali twist, this place is an absolute must-visit. I can’t wait to return and try more of their incredible offerings. Highly recommended

Excellent Indian restaurant in Wareham. All the dishes were extremely scrumptious. Loved the sea food platter - the salmon fish and tiger prawns are a must have! The Kerala prawns main course dish was also a delight. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the Dorset area.

a really good Italian restaurant! Me and my girlfriend went out eating tonight and had a great time. The team and the food was amazing I recommend it to anyone it’s a better alternative than the old granary or the quay INN in my opinion! Also recommend to book a table instead of just walking in in the evening
