Myra's Kaiseki

20 High E St, Dorchester

I really can't say enough nice things about Myra's. It's been a few years since I've been here, but it's just as amazing as it always was. The food is EXCEPTIONAL!This is not cheap, but it is worth every penny. The gentleman who serves is a wonderfully informative and unassuming man. He offers a warm welcome but would be equally at home as Jeeves in a PG Woodhouse novel.if you want really great food, fresh and in combinations that excite the palette, Myra's!!!

Lovely experience at Al Molo. Service was friendly and discreet, the food was imaginative, well presented and very tasty indeed. My only quibble, and it's a small one, would be a plea for a little more vegetarian /vegan choice. That being said, the vegetarian food I ate was very

All of the food tasted amazing and fresh, turned up bang on time, and it went down a treat with everyone with a great range of meat, veggie, vegan and gluten free options.Food can make or break someone’s event experience and with Posh Partridge I didn’t have to worry at all it was spot on.

We booked a table for supper on Friday evening while staying in Dorchester. A quick 10 minute drive through the countryside brought us to this lovely pub. We were an hour early but that was no problem. The landlord and landlady were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. A wonderful, friendly pub with humour, yet professional, excellent food, and very clean. They also have a big garden so I'd expect it is excellent in warm, dry weather, too!

Came bank holiday friday and was welcomed with open arms by the staff who interacted with us throughout. We havent been able to stop talking about how nice the food was and personally thought thw coffee was the nicest roast id ever had.Dog friendly as well. Although it feels pricey you have to take into account just how fresh everything is.Vegetarian options: More vegetarian options than not. We had the corn cheese waffle stack with avacado, siracha, pickled onion, tomato and paid extra for the best eggs everParking: Free parking in the swaure next to the cafe

I dropped in for Sunday lunch when passing through the area.I had the roast beef dinner and it was delicious. Everything on my plate was cooked to perfection and I enjoyed it very much. The only reason I didn't finish my meal is that the portion was very generous and it defeated me! The beer was well kept, too, and the service was very friendly and attentive.I very much recommend The Black Dog for good food and good service, all at a reasonable price.

The Horse With The Red Umbrella

We stumbled across the beautiful cafe today, whilst looking for a bite to eat out of the rain and aren't we so glad we visited. The cafe is wonderfully clean and the gentleman I assume maybe the owner was so genuine and accommodating it was a thoroughly lovely experience. We only had sandwiches today as we were looking for a small bite to eat but these must have been the best we've had in ages, all ingredients you could taste were fresh and local and as for the bread more like bloomer bread I can't wait to have another one or maybe even try there breakfast... Oh and definitely buy some more traditional Lardy cake to take home which was to die for.My husband and I both agree we will come out of our way to visit and support this small special business. Highly recommended thankyou so much.

I was staying at the Crossways Caravan Site just down the road (so can't comment directly on the rooms here) - I popped in for lunch and ended up staying most of the afternoon.Food was really good, reasonably priced alongside plenty of treats and water for my dog.The staff are what kept me there most of the day though - genuine smiles, good humour and attitude just made for a really welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. It was a genuine pleasure to sit in a corner with my dog and laptop, as they supplied me with coffee to work the afternoon away instead of returning to my van once I'd eaten.

Me and my mate were staying in the area at nearby Wolverton Gatehouse from Gosport and Southampton and thankfully we ended up in this pub. I arrived first and Sara the barmaid made me feel welcome straight away and the locals were good as gold. Tina the Landlady came in later and she couldn't do enough for us even giving us a Christmas toilet roll as a momento. A proper friendly drinking pub for a mixed crowd. A local even gave us a lift to the top of the steep hill.. Tina even let me in and made me a coffee to shelter from the rain whilst waiting for the bus. They had 2 ales on and they also have bands play here..

We went for the standard vineyard tour which is 2 hours, £25pp and includes 3 wine tastings.Our guide Emma was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and very engaging. So engaging I forgot to take photos! We have been for a few vineyard tours/ tastings before including in Napa Valley and Maipo Valley and we still learnt a lot from Emma. Especially around the viticulture, harvesting, fermentation and bottling processes.The tasting was also very enjoyable and the three English sparkling wines that we tried were great (Corallian, Culver and Rose). We even got a cheeky bonus Blanc de blancs to taste. There was zero pressure to buy anything but we did end up getting a few bottles.We didn’t order the lunch there as we had other plans but it looked good. The restaurant also offered pastries/nuts/crisps/coffee etc. to order if you wanted.Highly recommend if you love wine or just like to know more about the process of making it.The tour is dog friendly.

Went in this for a pot of tea £2.20 responsible price, had to park around the block as vehicles parked outside, maybe staff vehicles, so parking can't be a problem. Maybe go there by number 6 mores bus, They take cash payment, the place around the corner shut down as only people paying by card could use the place so was empty most of the time. shame the place is not bigger with bigger tables. I do like the colour pink makes me want to go inside.
