Golden Fox

Rating: 4.8 (450) Price Level:
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
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

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"

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.

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.

The Thirsty Bird
3 East St., Wimborne Minster, Wimborne BH21 1DS, UK | Brunch Restaurant P: 01202 887722
Rating: 4.8 (216) Price Level:
Lovely intimate eatery with caring hosts. Attended a private party there snd the buffet mezzo food was really good. Nice drinks too. The food menu is a little limited owing to their compact kitchen facility- but they make up for it in personal attention and ambiance.
Rating: 5 / 5
Thirsty Bird has a wonderfully eclectic decor that I find appealing and quirky. We booked to take friends for a lazy Sunday breakfast. We were met and served by the wonderful front-of-house team, who were friendly and delightful. The coffee is sublime, and we take ours black and sugar-free. You can't hide bad coffee ☕️. We ordered the Bacon Ciabatta and two Make-your-Own breakfasts. We had smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, with halloumi and a side salad [a great alternative option to bread], and we had bacon and scrambled eggs, with halloumi. The food was delicious and beautifully plated, and the servings were generous. We will be back.

We attended the Mexican night a few weeks ago and absolutely loved it. The event was very reasonably priced at just £25. The food was amazing, freshly prepared and the portions were extremely generous with a delicious cocktail included. Couldn't have asked for a nicer evening and the staff were amazing, looking forward to the next one!

Rosemary Wimborne
5 West Borough, Wimborne Minster, Wimborne BH21 1LT, UK | Turkish Restaurant P: 01202 879005
Rating: 4.7 (123) Price Level:
Finally tried out Rosemary in Wimborne. Booked a table for 8pm and was shown to our table promptly on arrival. Decor is nice. Some tables are very close together. The menu is varied, so something for everyone. However with the lighting and gold embossed sections on the menu it was a little hard to read. I ordered a glass Turkish rose wine, which was lovely. Breads and dips arrived at the table and were complimentary (nice touch). We had the mixed meze to start, which was great. Main meals were good size portions and very good. The restaurant was busy, so the noise level was quite high. My only criticism was the attentiveness of staff. Once are food arrived at the table, we were not checked on or asked if we would like more drinks etc for the rest of the evening. Would I go back…yes definitely. Food was great. Go and give it a try.

This is by far the best meal we have had in town in a very long time. Food was delicious, service was amazing and everything was very well priced. The staff are welcoming and extremely attentive. Somewhere we will recommend and return too!

I recently dined at Rosemary Wimborne, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxing meal. The menu offers a delightful variety of Turkish dishes, each prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients. I particularly enjoyed the Rosemary Steak, which was flavorful and beautifully presented. The staff were attentive and friendly, ensuring we had everything we needed. Overall, Rosemary Wimborne is a fantastic dining spot, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable meal.

I took my wife here for her 40th birthday last Friday. Our meal was booked for 8pm, we had a friendly greeting at the door and shown to our table. Lovely decor and a very nice atmosphere. My wife ordered a red wine and I ordered the Turkish larger, which was very nice. We're ordered the hot Meze, which was amazing and we loved our main courses. The staff checked if everything was good a couple of times. All in all, we really enjoyed our experience at Rosemary.

We recently celebrated my wife's birthday at Rosemary Wimborne located in the heart of Wimborne Minster and it was a truly unforgettable experience. The ambiance was both elegant and inviting, and the staff were incredibly attentive and professional. Our celebration began with a delightful array of coctails and starters, followed by an exquisite dinner. The menu featured a wide selection of dishes, all prepared with the freshest seasonal ingredients and cooked to perfection. We capped off the night with a wonderful birthday cake, the perfect end to a perfect day. The prices were very reasonable for the quality of food and service provided. I wholeheartedly recommend Rosemary Wimborne for any special occasion; it's a place where everyone is sure to enjoy themselves.

The Stocks Inn

Rating: 4.6 (1059) Price Level:
We have just enjoyed a fabulous meal with great service. We ordered a taxi as my wife had fractured her ankle recently and the road is a little narrow, so although not a long journey back to Wilksworth farm we wanted to remain safe. Fabulously the owner offered us a lift now that is above and beyond in my book, I wish I had a local pub near me with great food, great people and a sense of community..... booked again for Sunday roast.

We enjoyed a group Christmas Dinner at the Stocks and it was brilliant. The booking was easy, organising each families orders was great and everything was super smooth! The food was delicious, we mostly chose from the Christmas menu and it was fabulous. A great pub, run by wonderful people. Highly recommended.

Frequently here great staff always with a smile and a can do attitude! Lovely location and when the weather behaves a great garden to chill out in too! As for the food best Hunters Chicken and Lasagna!

Visited with family party of 9 ppl including 1 wheelchair user and 1 infant. Much appreciated that they were able to take our large party booking which was last minute following a family function the day before, especially in the lead up to Xmas on a Saturday. Menu was basic pub grub with plenty enough choice but good quality, hot and food was good. I had chicken curry which was lovely and others enjoyed the lasagna and fish and chips. Portions generous. Service decent and our food came in a timely enough fashion and simultaneously. There was a service charge but would say prices were pretty average and decent enough value for money. Easy to park. My father is a wheelchair user and the ramps, doorways, toilet etc worked well for him despite it being an older building with plenty of character. There were also baby change facilities in the disabled loo.Quite old fashioned decor but kind of part of the charm of a traditional English pub.

I hired the upstairs room for an intimate hen party and it was perfect! The service, food and atmosphere was unmatched! 100% recommend for special occasions such as birthdays, hen parties, christenings etc! Thank you Emma and the team and ten bottles.

Very cozy atmosphere. The bare brick walls were tastefully incorporated into the decor. Our party of 4 were ensconced by the door on some very high seats. Many women seem to frequent the place. We had cocktails 🍸 the pineapple daiquiri followed by a margarita. Very well mixed. They cost a total of £16 for the two. Our overall bill was around £60.00. They also do a range of Tapas dishes which seemed to go down well with the other clients in the bar area 🤔. Definitely worth a further visit when I am next in the area. Recommended if slightly pricey!

Gorgeous cozy wine bar with a friendly atmosphere and attentive, relaxed service. The tapas is yummy and reasonably priced. The booths make this the perfect venue to gather with friends.
Rating: 5 / 5
We popped in on Thursday night, one of the hottest nights of the summer so far! 2 cocktails for £15 and 3 tapas for £18. We sat in one of the booths and were given the menus. Plenty of cocktails and wines to choose from. Cocktails were lovely. We ordered 6 of the tapas dishes, all very tasty. Staff are lovely. It was very warm where we seated, so one of the of the lovely bar staff found us a fan! Now, that’s what I call service! Had a lovely evening. If you haven’t been before go and try out this little gem in Wimborne.
Rating: 4 / 5
Gorgeously cosy booths, for a romantic evening. The ambiance here is lovely and reminds me of Isabels in Penhill. The service is good and the food is nice. I loved the intimate atmosphere. The food, although good, is not quite on a par with Renoufs, who have a better selection of wines as well. Renouf's food within Ten Bottles would be perfection!

Went for a lovely Sunday family meal out 😊, this place didn’t disappoint! Food was delicious and beautifully presented! Chefs are clearly skilled!

If I'm honest I thought that the mushroom wellington was a boring option. However, it was delicious. Best veggie christmas dinner. Hot, excellent service, friendly staff and nice ambience. Be nice to have another option if I came again though. Thank you!

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!
Rating: 5 / 5
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.

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.

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.

We were camping at Dapplewood campsite just down the road and walked to the Old Inn for drinks and an evening meal. Staff are very friendly and made a fuss of our dog, couldn't be more helpful. I can recommend Tanglefoot ale it went down very well, well all 5 did. I had the Old Inn pizza with french fried & my partner had the beef stroganoff, all the food was freshly cooked and very tasty. Highly recommend coming here if your in the area. We'll be back soon 😋

Went here on 24/09 for a last minute big booking midday sit-down and I honestly don't think I've been to a better pub in my life. Great staff, great food and ensconced in a wonderful old building full of character. If you're thinking about visiting, stop dillydallying and get on with it. Even better considering we gave them an hour's notice. I recommend the Beef Short Rib.

Been here twice recently to sample the steak and we were not disappointed at all. Great place with good atmosphere and service! Both times the meals were excellent, timing between courses perfect and the staff were friendly and accommodating. Will be going again next week. Could be an ideal "first dinner date" type of place or just somewhere to enjoy a very nice meal. If you haven't been there, definitely try it!

A delightful little craft beer pub on West Borough. Not a great deal of seating to be had, some in the window bay and a couple of tables near entrance and stools around the bar, plenty of standing space though. A great atmosphere in this bar and on this particular visit there was a live band playing so the bar was packed with people for a thoroughly entertaining afternoon. Great selection of lafwrs and real ales and novelty guest ciders which are worth a taste. Nice friendly bar staff and it is a dog friendly bar. Well worth a visit.
