What a little gem. Greeted by a wonderful smile from the owner as we walked in and this set the mood for our whole stay. Food was delicious and the decor on its own was worth a visit! Great price. ❤️

The best food and the best Sunday roast in the area.

The best place to eat in the Purbecks. Top family restaurant, beautiful decor, lovely atmosphere and friendly team. I love the chef's Dorset jugger pie - delicious. And I often choose mushrooms on toast for brunch which are equally lush! The cheese soufflé is the best I've ever eaten. Great coffee served too, if you're just looking for somewhere to get a hot drink.

Amazing atmosphere every time I enter Nine Restaurant and Bar, it's truly my favorite place to dine out. Their roast dinners are 2nd to none, the only place I will ever get a roast! The food flavors are spectacular, you can tell the ingredients are all locally sourced and grown by themselves, all cooked with passion! The ever changing seasonal menu is a good excuse to keep returning over and over.As for the staff, allways friendly yet professional. They go out of their way to ensure you enjoy your dining experience with them.Thank you guys for always welcoming us and always making our time with you delightful!Kid-friendliness: I allways have my children with me when visiting, this is a family ran establishment and they welcome you like their own

A lovely place for well prepared local food, with an ever changing menu. The team at 9 always make us feel welcome and are very happy to walk through the menu to help with my allergies (I carry EpiPens). Whether guiding me to safe dishes or chatting with the kitchen to make changes, I know I'm getting a great meal.One of the best places around for good local food.Dietary restrictions: A small, family run restaurant with frequent changes to menu, always happy to work with you. I let the restaurant know when booking - only fair when working with freshly prepared food - and the staff will always check with the kitchen if there is any doubt.

Rude staff. Was told three different answer to any questionDon’t cater for allergies worse say they do but they don’t so much so I didn’t feel it was safe to even eat what they finally provided and I didn’t dare to ask if they actually rember the allergies mentioned as it didn’t arrive as expected in the endDon’t care about comfort never befor have I worn a scarf to keep me warm in a restaurant my hands actually went so cold ridiculousFelt judged and they looked up and down at me like dirtDon’t want assistance dogsOr actually unsure they even want customersDietary restrictions: They say they will cater for all dietary restrictions and then bombard you with serval members of different staff saying different things do you want vegan butter yes we can do that it didn’t arrive yes the chips are gluten free I said good are they cooked in separate fryer yes another member of staff said no we only have one fryer and used oil

Absolutely horrible treated like filth as soon as we entered had to sit by the door which never shut properly as my daughter had an assistance dog .Food over priced and poor hubby had a small chewy swimming in butter steak and chips ( no salad or garnish ) we had a gf toasty ( not really toasted just slightly warmed Bread ) not edible as filing of ham was then slightly half warmed . Forget a dairy and gf allergy for coffee they only do oat milk .chips are gf but they use the same fryer . The assistance dog was considered a health hazard but it was acceptable to have a small baby in and out of the kitchen whilst the owner glared and laughter at us behind the window . Will never go again thankfully and strongly suggest not to go if you have any allergies ( plus we did ring first and they said gf and dairy free not a problem . Apparently the owners husband that said this would never had said this )
First time here (definitely won’t be our last) fantastic food and service! I’ve been a chef for over 30 years, so I appreciate good food when allowed out of the kitchen! Homemade brown sauce is amazing as well so we bought a bottle! If you haven’t tried this place you should!

There's a saying which goes: 'You don't remember what the meal cost, only what it tasted like.' Well, I do remember it tasted wonderful, and I also remember it was very reasonably priced. But that's only part of the story. This meal was for sixteen people to celebrate a milestone birthday. And to say that the lovely people at NINE went the extra mile would be an understatement. They could not have done more to ensure that we had a marvellous, faultless evening.Thank you NINE.Vegetarian options: Good vegetarian optionsKid-friendliness: Bent over backwards to accommodate children with special dietry requirements

"Twas a night before Chrismas and all was fine. Where numerous people had come here to dine. A reception drink to set the mood, followed in time by some wonderful food. A maestro played whilst the guests all nattered, and during this time nothing else mattered.A festive quiz with some dubious answer, then another fine tune without any dancers. (The Twelve Days of Christmas), some were in tune and others were chancers."The team at Nine have once again delivered a great festive evening.Angie and I wish them all a very merry Christmas and continued success in the New year.

Stunning taste, I had a breakfast and everything on my plate was so tasty, well worth paying that little extra for. Highly recommend to anybody looking for quality .
