Love this place! Its friendly service and delicious food and locality make it a great place to meet friends from London, Bath and other areas who find it too far to trek to us in mid Dorset. We have never been disappointed and all our friends love when we meet them there.

An excellent local business, staff always friendly and helpful and the produce is superb.

Glad we booked a table as there was an event in the area so it was busier than normal so there were bigger queues, but the food was delicious and the service was fantastic. Highly recommend.

Had such a lovely lunch today at Compton McRae which we found on the drive home from Devon off the A303. Friendly staff and really interesting, well done food. Kimchi and cheese toastie was phenomenal! Really lovely stop off if you are doing a long drive and loved looking round the book shop next door. Wish I lived closer as I’d be back!

The location of this establishment is strange because the shop/restaurant sits within what is essentially a business park in the middle of nowhere but it is not hard to find. The setting was ideal for a summer lunch with lots of variously covered areas to shelter from the sun or rain if it happens. Then you realise that all these covered areas are, in fact, the restaurant! I saw no evidence of indoor seating. The main seating area is fundamentally a plastic marquee attached to a shop unit and all the seats are picnic benches. They have an interesting menu, which changes regularly I understand, and it is obvious that this establishment is not trying be a full all ‘singing and dancing’ restaurant and they do make that clear. It uses locally sourced quality produce for Deli style light meals, specifically lunches, and also snacks. The people running it are personable, welcoming and efficient. We found them very helpful and attentive and the food was delicious. Overall, the food menu is a little overpriced I feel but not excessive. That said, a few dishes do seem “over the top’ for what they are. It is the shop where the prices are eyewatering expensive and I think they have gone too far. I can here them now saying that they are supporting local suppliers and that this comes at a cost but times are hard and I do truly believe they, or their suppliers, need to face reality as the pricing is far too high. We need to support businesses like this but they have to respond too! Did I enjoy my meal? Yes, fantastic, Would I go again? Yes, definitely! Would I encourage you to go? Yes definitely! I just warn you that your visit will be enjoyable but not cheap so be prepared.

We came across this place by accident and first impressions were quite good but have to say that did not last long. Having read that others thought the service excellent, I felt that there must have been a change in staff as it was quite shambolic. The food here is very expensive even for a farm shop and some of the staff were not very welcoming and we felt that their training had been sparse to say the least, so sadly will not be returning despite the location.
At first glance this was not very welcoming, the eating area was cold and very windy while the food selection looked limited. So we moved on.

Standard price and a nice place and a great shelter from the rain! Nice atmosphere and their scotch egg and salad was great

We came especially to visit the Cheese Room - which the website described as an “epicurean journey of delight and discovery” - so we were disappointed to find this was hyperbole to say the least. A few nice varieties but not the abundance of gastronomic delicacies the website suggested. Just a note in case you were planning a visit for the same reason! We had some coffee and cake which was expensive, as most reviews note, but nice enough.

An amazing find and even though they were just about to close they were happy to do coffee and cake for us. The most awesome carrot cake ever! Incredible friendly helpful staff and excellent parking and toilet facilities at the location. Would highly recommend!
