An absolute must try & I will eat my hat if you don't fancy going back again soon!! š š¤¤ Seriously well worth a wee drive to come eat some very yummy food! š Even better it is a local family grown, family owned business, so you'll be supporting an independent business and all the awesome staff who work there. ā¤ļø This place is nestled in the cute Blandford Forum just a few steps away from the lovely Crown Hotel, very easy to find as it's on the same road just before Market Place. ā¢ Parking nearby ā ā¢ There is seating on the ground floor and 1st floor. ā¢ Toilets are upstairs on the 1st floor too (2 total). The bar and chefs kitchen are on the ground floor also, kitchen to the back just behind a curved wall which has the stairs behind it Its an old building and they've done a great job revitalising both the outside and the interior feels super premium. There's quite a few plug points with usb on them to, so decent if you have kids with devices or coming for a cheeky work meeting etc.. The food seriously good, came in good time & service was great from all the staff, including the chef and the owners mixing in with the awesome vibes. Whether you came here regularly or just passing through, you could feel like making some new friends here with the staff and owners. Also, their pizza from the takeaway a few doors down is damn good.. Got our fussy 11yr old lads approval! š

My pool team had a meal at Jerry's Steakhouse 2 weeks ago. It was brilliant, fantastic steak, chips, mushroom and onion rings. Very nice sauce too. The Biscoff cheesecake was probably the best pudding I've had. Honestly it was amazing! š I definitely want to go again.
Rating: 5 / 5
Stunning. The service was perfect, the food was immense and the decor is spectacular. This is honestly one of the best restaurants I've ever been to anywhere in the world. I regularly eat burgers when at "steakhouses" and I do this very regularly, the Bourgeois Burger I had at "Jerry's" is easily in my top 5 if all time. Flavours complimented each other perfectly and it was cooked perfectly too. Can't wait to go back to this place!!
Rating: 5 / 5
Highly recommended, everything was excellent. A great deal of effort, thought and finesse has been put into both the food and the restaurant itself. I found the prices to be just right for the quality and quantity of food ordered. Definitely one of the best places I've eaten this year. We also met Jerry and he was lovely to talk to, please keep doing what you're doing as it is working really well!
Rating: 5 / 5
It's rare to find places that are a 5 star rating across the broad, but this is certainly one such place! The food was incredible - the starter was perfect, and the steak..... easily some of the best I have ever eaten! Cooked to perfection, and everything from the sauce to the mushrooms simply complemented it so well. We visited at lunch time, so had the place alsmot to ourselves, but I am sure that the service will be utmost during busy periods - and this place it popular! So you accept that during busy times there might be a bit more of a wait. Atmosphere was great - a lovely clean, modern and upbeat restaurant, and Jerry was a pleasure to chat to as well; clearly he values his customers and the amazing business he has built up in the area. We won't hesitate to recommend this steakhouse to friends and family alike, and look forward to coming back! It's a shame Google won't remove the obviously false 1 star review from someone who cannot accept that it's the Business that controls the opening times and not what Google lists (they're not in real time love!). So for anyone looking to go here, pay attention to the reviews that truly reflect what you will experience.

Wow what a burger! The place is a lovely funky modern place, on industrial estate so easy parking outside. I got to have a cider, burger, and fries. Not the cheapest but well worth it! They clearly have great meat supplier patties were great!
Rating: 5 / 5
A little hard to find but so worth it. The staff is amazing and even though the burger could look small so filling, flavourful and perfect. Will become a more regular spot for my husband and I. The halloumi fries is also a must have. We both had the truffle shuffle burger with normal and sweet potatoes fries and halloumi fries. Just wish it was slightly cheaper so we can come every week but I know that is just the price of inflation.
Rating: 5 / 5
Ordered takeaway on Saturday. Atmosphere on collection was busy, food was delicious and hot, portion size was generous. We ordered the OG burger and a gluten free bun was available and catered for well. Only criticism is we had to a wait a bit longer than agreed pickup time, but for such a new business still finding their feet on their first Saturday night, I could understand, so it didnāt reflect the review. If you want tasty burgers with some great choices, look no further.
Rating: 5 / 5
Had the truffle burger, sweet potato fries and halloumi fries. Sweet potato fries were kinda caramelised and so good. Halloumi was soft and flavourful. Though the burger looked small compared to other places it absolutely hits the spot. Juicy and flavourful. The sauce literally bleeds out with each bite. Staff are welcoming and friendly. It's a little out the way and very hidden. Defo a hidden gem. Definitely looking to make it a regular stop.
Rating: 5 / 5
My husband pre- ordered, which was very easy , the food was ready when we collected. The burgers and chips were all nice and the ingredients fresh. I do think they are a lot of money for burger and chips , so this would not be something we had very often.

The service was great and the guys are friendly and polite. The coffee was very good, the cafe is very clean and the loo is spotless, I did see the kitchen as someone came out, spotless (yes Iām nosey!) I had the Welsh rarebit I like a stronger cheese and my toast was cold, this is a personal thing, they did ask if it was ok and I said yes! Would I go back yes, would I recommend yes . Would I have Welsh rarebit again no ! The ice cream is delicious and would definitely have again.

Great find! We popped in for a late lunch. We had the classic croque and it was delicious. A great combination of flavours with a lovely dressed side salad and home made coleslaw. A really great cup of coffee too. My sons vanilla milkshake was overflowing with cream and sauce topping! Friendly staff and swift service. Nice clean toilets too. Only slight downside if there is one was that there are a few steps up to the front door which could possibly be an issue for a few customers. Highly recommended cafƩ.

Excellent friendly service. Nothing too much trouble. Delicious food sensibly priced. We had Pork schnitzel with a creamy freshly made mushroom sauce. Lovely. Our friends had sea bass and grilled salmon nicoise and very much enjoyed it. Highly recommended.
Rating: 5 / 5
The welcome, service, food and presentation were all of the very best. We had dinner here last time and this was a lunch visit. Our friends were obliged to bring their very difficult and antisocial dog. Nothing was too much trouble with the staff. . Everything was very good indeed
Rating: 5 / 5
This was our first visit and we were very impressed. The fish platter had a most interesting selection of fish and was beautifully presented . The service was most friendly and courteous. Our only negative comment was that the garden , where we ate, could have been tidied up with some more colourful bushes.
Rating: 5 / 5
We picked the Golden Fox after reading reviews and we were not disappointed. I felt the bar area was a little dark, but we were soon accommodated in the restaurant. Really good to see that the restaurant is a no dog zone. The menu is not extensive but with the daily specials there should be something for everyone. It's worth noting they do not have a children's menu but modify some of the menu items to make a child's portion. Our 11 year old Granddaughter made short work of the adult 8 oz steak! The food was very well cooked and presented and portions were generous. Staff were welcoming, friendly and attentive. For the quality and portion sizes, the prices were good A great new find to add to our list of "must returns"
Rating: 5 / 5
My husband and I ate at the Golden Fox after reading great reviews on the food, the staff and the facilities. We were not disappointed. Absolutely fantastic food. Wonderful staff and spotlessly clean facilities. The whole place had a wonderful ambiance which only enhanced the whole experience. They were also very welcoming of our dog Max.

We went here with our dog for breakfast and were very impressed. We have an eggs royal and the veggie breakfast, both if which were generous and delicious for the price. Really good to have a great veggie breakfast where so many places just do meat and vegan now! Very welcoming and busy / nice bustle on a Saturday morning. Will be back šš¼
Rating: 5 / 5
What a fantastic evening at The Three King's last night! The food was amazing, freshly cooked to order, succulent meat, char grilled veg and a banging home made hot sauce. The owner and staff were very friendly and welcoming and chatted with us which made the evening all the more enjoyable. Great value for money and somewhere we will definitely return too.

We just had breakfast on a rainy Saturday morning. The service was excellent, prompt and accommodating. But the food! The kings breakfast was huge, delicious and fantastic quality. Eggs royal had plenty of salmon and perfectly poached eggs. Would definitely recommend!

Highly recommend a visit here. Wonderful restaurant with a lovely ambiance. Staff are polite, professional and helpful. Food is absolutely gorgeous. Rich opulent flavours that deliver absolute joy on a plate. Fantastic place if you're on your own, having a date or meeting up with a friend or group to celebrate a special occasion. I always check out the toilets in restaurants because it says a lot about the hygiene of the place. I found them to be clean and tidy. I will be visiting again for some truly unforgettable pasta! Thanks team La Vita.

I'm from Australia and visited with local friends when passing through this part of England. I believe the restaurant is relatively new but it didn't matter as the service was first right and the food and beverage offerings were really impressive. A wide range of offerings on the menu and you won't be disappointed if you come here after authentic delicious Italian food.

Visited this pub on a cycling trip. Had a warm welcome on arrival. Menu was really good and lunch bar snacks were great. Fish finger sandwich was just delicious. Proper cod fish fingers, really delicious. Bar man filled up our water bottles with fresh cold water that was most welcomed. All in all what an amazing village pub. Well worth a trip out for the food.

We meet with friends on Sunday for lunch, and all went for the burgers. These were as per our other visits, amazing. We did see a few roasts go out, and questioned our choice, as these looked incredible. The staff were friendly and provided some really good banter, to make it a great atmosphere. At the end, the Landlord place a huge plate of the lovely Yorkshire pubs on the bar for anyone that wanted one for free. Our friends were extremely impressed and will most certainly be going back.

Out on my bike today and needed a coffee. I was on some quiet roads andso was very happy to come across this bar, cafe, restaurant. It looks very nice inside. Today was only for a coffee but also had a homemade sausage roll which turned out to be beautiful. The guys warmed it up for me too!. I was disappointed that they didnāt have skimmed milk but as I was on a long ride it was all good. The coffee was, however, very nice, they made it extra hot for me and made it in a larger cup which was more cappuccino style. Price for the 2 was Ā£7.25. The place was popular with people having meals out in the sun and other cyclists. Plenty of parking. Iād love to return.

Fantastic food and beer in a lovely pub. Posh fish n chips from the specials board was amazing. Service was attentive without being intrusive. A little pricey but I did close the most expensive thing on the menu. That's quite a few birthdays we have celebrated here.

What a little gem of a pub!! Sadly no photos, but I can attest to the food being fabulous. I loved the creativity of the chef. Incredible scotch eggs, and his quirky Indian chocolate orange with a curry anglaise - whilst it sounds wrong on paper - was one of the best things Iāve had in yonks!!! Great local pub with cosmopolitan content. We loved it! š

I can honestly say my partner and I have just had the best roast dinner weāve ever had. Being vegetarian we donāt usually bother to go out for dinner in Dorset as weāre often given bland boiled veg. The chef, Adam, and staff at the Stour Inn went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we could possible want (crispy potatoes, garlic greens, cauliflower cheese, HUGE yorkshiresā¦). Staff were so friendly and the pub has a wonderful atmosphere. Weāve already booked again for next weekend. Thank you!!

I love this pub. Friendly bar staff. I have found Locals are friendly and open to chat. The chef is amazing and always happy to accommodate people's needs and tastes. I enjoy the selection of ale which changes reg ( always have London pride on tap though) so this is my favorite pub.

Sorry for the delay in posting, We came here at the end of May this year, the staff were very friendly and helpful they even catered for my daughter who really struggles with certain foods coming into contact with each other and has lactose intolerance, the chef was most helpful and even came out to chat with us, the food was excellent and well worth it. We are looking forward to going back hopefully on our way back from Hampshire 23rd Aug 2024. Thank you to all the team.

This is a treasure of a pub. The staff are really friendly and the local's are happy to chat. What marks this pub out from others is the great selection or beers and tasty wines. They also cater for those who are not drinking alchol or are driving with a great selection of non-alcoholic drinks that actually taste great. The chef here is unbelivably good. We have dined during one of his Thai evenings and the food is beyond belief. This pub is doing things right when it comes to Roasts as well. A Big sharing veg (bowl after bowl keeps coming out) along with a great selection of meats. The sharing roast is brilliant and the quality of ingredients is top notch. They also have an excellent menu on offer during the week as well, in the pictures we had the Breakfast Scotch Egg, Pig Croquettes, Steak and the Sticky Biscoffee pudding. All amazing. - Wednesday is steak night which is 2 steaks and a bottle of wine for Ā£40 which is brilliant value.

We walked to The Crown from the nearby Inside Park Camp site. It's about 3 miles walk and not too arduous. Well worth it, as the staff were very friendly, lunchtime food delicious and beer was decent too. Next time we are at Inside Park, we shall book for an evening meal. Highly recommended.
