Very nice meal with my friend, would highly recommend. Good changing weekly set menu with a good selection of nice food on the a la carte menu. Opted for the prawn starter and burger main and both were very nice.

Wow! Was not expecting that. Blown away by the food, the ambiance was nice and the staff were attentive and considerate. 100% recommend! I had the wild mushrooms starter, belly pork and cheesecake. The potato terrine was to die for. This was our first time and we will be back regularly! Thank you.

Nine of us went to the Pig for a family pre Christmas lunch yesterday (Saturday). We had pre-ordered which made things so much easier and slick; and every dish which was produced was absolutely delicious. The starters were generous….I had the brisket of beef; so, so good! Mr Husband had the trout which was carpaccio with wasabi and in a beetroot kvass. My son in law had fried Brie along with several others and those babies were melt in the mouth yum. Main courses; the belly pork was to die for. Most of us had that one! Duck was also excellent. And whilst I don’t always have pudding, the special was a Christmas themed bread pudding and it was fabulous. Again; a very generous portion; with a lovely crunch to the outside and buttery and sweet on the inside. All the other desserts looked equally wonderful. The staff were charming and so tolerant of all the demands of a big group of (mostly older!) people. Especially Jamie. Thank you Wimborne Pig! We will be back for sure.

Had a meal here tonight. One of the best tasting meals I have had out in a long long time. Presentation was on point, as was the list of local ingredients. Opted for the mushroom starter and pork belly main. It was exciting just tasting it all. Atmosphere is brilliant. We will definately be going again. Brilliant 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

We booked a table at the Wimborne Pig for our wedding anniversary and had an absolutely wonderful experience! We came with our 11-month old baby and the staff were absolutely brilliant and very helpful around her. The food was superb! The most delicious pork belly I've ever had- cooked to perfection, full of flavour and garnished with blueberry sauce. My husband had the beef burger and thoroughly enjoyed it. We both have allergies and I'm currently on a very restrictive gluten, dairy and egg free one. This wasn't an issue at all- the meal was adapted to cater for it. Overall a five star experience and a must try when in Wimborne!

I’ve just had the best snails I’ve had in my life, and the steak melted in my mouth the only downside is I’ll have to travel 3 hours to visit you again !!

Went in for the Lunchtime Special after recommendations. Excellent value for money, the food was delicious and very quick service from friendly staff 👌🏻
Rating: 5 / 5
We were there for lunch. 5 adult and 1 children. Staff are friendly and helpful. Lovely restaurant. Lunch came with salad and a main (pasta/ pizza , many options!) . It was 55gbp per person. This is the best cost per value restaurant we ever had in the UK. Booking is advised as they could be very full.

Staying at The 1777 Albion and ordered a takeaway pizza! It was incredible, lovely base, sauce, heaps of cheese, nice pepperoni, just wish it had been cut, with having no cutlery in the room.. but still managed to finish it like a caveman with quite literally only a teaspoon for my tool 🤣

The Old Thatch | Multi-Award Winning Freehouse Pub & Artisan Store

Rating: 4.3 (1179) Price Level:
The Old Thatch in Stapehill, Wimborne, Dorset, a 17th century pub which sits directly opposite historic Stapehill Abbey has a very warm and welcoming feel to it, from the roaring fireplace to the friendly smiling staff. My wife and I decided to try this place out as we had heard great things, and we were not disappointed. We had not booked, but the staff found us a lovely cosy corner next the fire. The seating was very comfy and I could have stayed all afternoon. The staff was very attentive and a drinks order placed within a few minutes of sitting down. After a quick study of the menu the waitress brought over the drinks order and took our food order. The starter arrived in good time and it tasted fantastic, fresh and full of flavour, once finished the waitress wasted no time in clearing our plates and again the main course arrive shortly after hot and freshly cooked. The mains were perfect, the pie was great and the vegetables cooked to perfection, crisp and full of colour. The deserts followed and again food heaven. So what does this place score for us. Atmosphere, 5 stars Service, 5 stars Food quality, 5 stars Price, 5 Stars

Have had a couple of Saturday evenings at The Old Thatch recently. Lovely food (Venison pie, fish pie and apple & berry crumble with custard), efficient and friendly service and accommodating to a large friendly dog, who was happy to receive gravy bones and a bowl of water. Good beer, including real ale on tap. Busy, but everyone seemed to be having such a good time - so much to recommend and will definitely be back there again soon. Thank you for your hospitality x

Good Sunday lunch! Food as always was brilliant! Service was a bit slow this time!
Rating: 5 / 5
Went here for Sunday lunch as a party of six. We sat in the marquee. We were impressed with the service and food. I had the roast pork and roast lamb. There was roast beef as well. I had the Apple and berry crumble, which was delicious too. There is plenty of free parking. I would recommend this place for Sunday roast.

One of the best atmospheres in Lounges that I've experienced. Almost all tables were full with flolk enjoying themselves. I had a potato bravas and a Hofmeister for £11.40. Served by enthusiastic Ethan who has good knowledge of the brand. I might return in the summer.

Went in for dinner on Saturday night, didn't book. Was very busy but we got a warm welcome and they found us a lovely window table. Service was excellent and super friendly. Really wide choice of food and drinks. Had seafood tapas and a lemon drop martini. All good. Great atmosphere. Outdoor seating. Paid parking nearby.

Had the breakfast (minus mushrooms); serviceable but not great for the money. Disappointing bacon cookery. Coffee was very good though. Strong and quite bitter, lots of flavour.

Had an absolutely delicious lunch here today, liver, bacon and onions for me and a steak and ale pie off of the specials menu for my husband. Lovely atmosphere and really friendly staff, we will certainly be back, next time we will hopefully have room for a pudding as they to sounded delicious. Thank you.

Hadn't been here for a while, but will definitely go back again soon. We both had the Irish beef and Guinness stew with mash and warm chunky bread. It was amazing. It was very filling but still found room for the crumble and custard. Host very welcoming and friendly atmosphere. A real country pub.

Food was lovely, it’s my second time going. First I can say was better than the second. Unfortunately a gentleman got ill so I felt the attention to diners was taken away. Waiter wasn’t into it (obviously flapping about gentleman) and food (Pie) came out with tough pastry. Didn’t really get a chance to say owt as plates were whisked away. Service was definitely slow but we understood why. Just didn’t feel we got what we paid for food wise.

Beautiful location, easy parking. Relaxing and a warm welcome with a good ambience. Service was okay, along with food which was home cooked and a nice selection. I would definitely return

We ordered a takeaway from here after visiting for lunch last week (which was great! Fab food and service). Large choice of menus, if you can’t find something you like….id be confused! Ordered the roast pork, my partner had the trio. Wow, so tasty! Everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Had to change an option through the phone as I had an allergy and the staff were beyond helpful. Will defo recommend to my friends!

Reserved a table for 6, for their XMas 'festive menu'. Service was friendly, food was served pretty promptly. Generally everyone really enjoyed their food - only feedback was veggies were a bit hard. Atmosphere is pretty cosy, ... would recommend for an XMas visit.

We visited on Christmas day and had an absolutely amazing lunch. The service by the restaurant and bar staff was fantastic and every detail had been thought about to make a special meal on Christmas day that bit more memorable. The table looked beautiful and the rustic bread on arrival and a Christmas card was a lovely touch, the main courses were delicious - I had the traditional turkey roast and the meat was spot on! A big thank you to Katie, Bridie, Sophie and the rest of the team who all looked after us so well and really made a it a Christmas Day to remember.
Rating: 4 / 5
Had a pre-Xmas Sunday get together and the venue and staff were absolutely awesome - would have scored them a 5 but the veg was too sparse on all the roasts (albeit they did bring us more when asked) and what should have been the absolute bomb of a dessert didn’t quite hit the mark as the sauce to melt the rock hard chocolate case hadn’t been heated up. Will definitely return - it’s a fab venue, with fab staff and food 👍👍

If you are ever looking for a very honest , great food, excellent customer service and experience then you're in luck. As well as the food choices the staff really make your visit here memorable, and they are the key element that will make you want to revisit the Olive Branch again and again. Thanks to Gregg and his team at Olive Branch.

Had a lovely lunchtime meal here. It's a large pub with lots of space. You will find the normal varied Weatherspoons menu with something for everyone. Great for vegetarians with lots of options.

Price of a pint of ale, Abbot/Doom Bar etc around £2.88. Place was packed, service was excellent and the food arrived quickly. For the price, around £10 on average including pint, you really can't complain. Definitely recommend!

A lot busier than the Night Jar in the neighbouring town of Ferndale. I ordered from the table, (because no bar service at the moment) a pint of Shipyard for £2.49. Some nice pieces on the wall (see photos). Certainly worth a visit 👍

Recently taken over by new management and OMG Amazing!! Visited last Sunday for a roast dinner ....DEVINE! I noticed then they did breakfast...so here I am back again a week later! How on earth it isn't rammed for breakfast is beyond me! Beautiful coffee and food! Fabulous hosts. I cannot recommend this breakfast enough. I intend on making regular visits and trying all the delicious choices available!
Rating: 4 / 5
The pub is under new management. Decent sized car park. Despite signs at the entrance warning you to register your car at reception or risk a penalty charge, you no longer have to do that. Perhaps they should take the signs down? We pre-booked over the telephone and this was doing using an AI program. Sat in the corner of the large dining space which was well lit. A few candles dotted around for "atmosphere ". Drinks order was taken immediately and soon arrived. Abbot Ale was fine. Food was fairly quickly ordered with a wait as the kitchens were busy. Meal arrived in good order. Steak and Ale pie was heavy on gravy light on meat. Nevertheless a proper plateful. The manager was keen to point out a new dogs' garden facility he had just created. Would I go again? Yes.

We visited the Fox & Hounds today with family (5 of us) for an early festive meal and were not disappointed! Our first visit in over 40 years and the whole place has been re-decorated and fitted out to a very high standard while keeping the nice warm & traditional feel an establishment like this deserves. We were greeted and well looked after throughout by their friendly staff. We all made selections from the festive menu and the food was well prepared and presented and very tasty. The location is brilliant for us when getting together with family so we will certainly be returning.

Good food, good atmosphere and a lovely setting. Recommendation of starter platter in particular. Cottage pie croquettes were a novel and enjoyable discovery
Rating: 4 / 5
Dog friendly with a large enclosure for your dog to run around in, there is water and toys for them to enjoy. The food is lovely and well presented we had a family birthday party there with two pets and was given an area at the Saied because of the dogs or we can go outside.. I felt it may have been slightly understaffed as it took awhile to clear our plates apart from that we enjoyed our visit and loved the dog enclosure (even the dog treats they gave us)

AMAZING roast may even be the best I've had at a pub. We rung ahead and got the last of the day and it was still SO fresh, well seasoned and beautiful. We got it on the half price offer so two roasts, 2 portions of cauliflower cheese and two soft drinks for £30. Pub it's self was clean and nicely decorated, staff were super friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend and return if in the area 😀

Great pub hotel, looks a touch shabby outside but it's V clean inside. The staff were lovely and the breakfast v good. Also an open mic, which was an unexpected bonus - v good entertainment. I don't know if I'll be staying around there again, but if I do I'll stay here.

We booked a family get together here, there was about 20 of us and we had a few requirements too. They got every order spot on, the food was fantastic, the staff were attentive but not too much they pretty much left us to it and the atmosphere was brilliant. Thank you to the all the staff for making it a lovely day.
