Friendly attentive service, comfortable seats, nice view (despite the typical British weather!! and a relaxed atmosphere. Varied menu prices.

Will definitely return Parking: The Swan's (free car park itself is not very big but there is other parking nearby. Just register your car when you go in."

"We eat from here very often, last night we had an issue where our order was accepted and they was actually closed (technical glitch) no real drama, worst things have happened but today they called to apologise. Not only is the food quality, so are the family that run the business. I’m leaving his review after eating from them for a very long time, but because of the quality of the food (which is very good) but because of the customer service which is exceptional and you don’t receive it very often, support local and enjoy, it’s very good"

"Great place for a family meal. Food isn’t posh, but plenty of variety, nicely done, tasty and well priced. Service deserves a particular mention as it’s attentive and knowledgeable and caring they are NOT your usual job centre rejects. They coped faultlessly with my mother in laws endless list of customisations and stipulations without skipping a beat (not easy). It is “chain pub nosh” but at the very top end of the genre really good hot crisp chips, nice grills and salad garnishes. My only slight down side is that one side (well away from the dining rooms) is a very loud and blokey“ sports bar” which I have to traverse to use the toilets and carpark is busy first world problems. Overall love this place for good family dinners in comfortable dining room and Wowsa the ice cream sundaes are to die for (maybe via cardiovascular disease but it’s a risk I’m happy to take they are huge and delicious)"

"I did not have a good experience here. The staff were super friendly and polite but I had to return the food I ordered. The removed it from the bill but it should not have come out of the kitchen that way. I think the staff should all look after the reputation of the place. They apologised and that is fine but I'm not sure I would return to this branch. I have had a great experience in other Harvester's so I would still recommend the chain overall. Service: Dine in"

"lunch here yesterday, no great experience. there were 3 of us and it took 2 hours from beginning to end. the drinks arrived quickly, but the meals were a completely different time scale! the restaurant was not busy at all, I had telephoned in front of the hand to check chips were overcooked with many tiny, which I was disappointed even served. the rest of our main course was okay, but we had to wait half an hour until our dirty teller cleaned and dessert order. that was only after I asked twice. desserts were not complicated, but lasted another half an hour to arrive, then one of them was not what had been ordered. at this time, we would have eaten everything she would have accepted. the excuse that the personal had offered was that they had a big lunch party in (about 12 people), but that should not affect the rest of the diner. no happy experience we will not repeat!"

"My favourite is the fish taco and the fried chicken taco! Love love love! I loved it so much I went back the next following weekend. Next time I hope to try the plate of fried chicken! Also, if this place was to ever to the baha fish taco as a sandwich...I would be all over that!"

"Went for the buffet breakfast. Everything was well laid out, with plenty of choice. Bacon was thick cut and tasty. Sausages were really nice and the black pudding cooked perfectly and good quality. Fresh and tinned tomatoes available, as were scrambled and fried eggs. I prefer plain bread with mine and it was brought out for me straight away. Pub was clean and tidy, and the staff were friendly. Toast and jam were also available as part of the buffet. Would definitely recommend."

"Visited for dinner with my husband, very excited as had heard so many good things about this place. Setting is lovely, pub is beautifully done and very cosy. It was very busy when we got there for our table booked at 6.30pm but that felt like a good sign. I’m not sure if the place has 2 set sitting times because when we booked there was a caveat that the table needed to be handed back by a certain time, which I can’t quite recall but on paper it felt like plenty of time. Once there however it felt very rushed, bread and starters came out at the same time which was weird and I just felt like staff were trying to hurry us along all the time. At one point I placed my knife and fork down to take a sip of drink and the loitering waitress immediately leapt on me to ask if we’d finished, even though I had half a plate of food left and my husband was clearly eating. I had heard so many good things about the food here but honestly it was only ok and very expensive for what it was I felt. Sadly we left feeling disappointed which was a shame as it is a beautiful place."

"We were just about to give up on pub food when we found this place. Having just moved here and having had a few bad experiences right off the bat, this place saved us from the brink of foodie depression. I ordered some sort of lemon sole dish which was nicely done. A well cooked fish with some fresh, steamed veggies on the side. I don't recall what my male suitor consumed since I wasn't even vaguely interested in sharing based on the desirability of my fish. The interiour of the pub was deceptively large, especially given the name, we almost cruised past it in search of the place more befitting the name. Its all light wood and swedishy inside. But is has a warmth to it and seems clean. It was a slightly rainy weeknight but there was still a good 60% of seats taken. Everyone was eating which is a good sign in itself. I was happy with the prices and happy with the food and it was a comfy joint. I'll circle back around to try this one again. It's already been suggested a few times but we're determined to try a few more before we fall prey to the repetitive cycle we will undoubtedly form after we get settled."

"We came in after my daughter’s appointment as a treat. Staff were friendly and welcoming, food was quite quick and tasty, son enjoyed the play area whilst waiting for the food (which really helps as he is autistic and struggles to sit patiently), and I received blue light card discount which was a bonus so close to Christmas! Will definitely come again, and have already recommended the Rock Rose to friends and family! Parking: Has its own large car park. A few disabled spaces close to the entrance we didn’t need to use, but did notice them. Kid-friendliness: Has kids play area, ideal for smaller children, not for older children. Up to 8 years old maybe? Wheelchair accessibility: Did not need accessibility, but it is all on one level and would be completely wheelchair accessible (in my opinion)."

"We went with friends for a meal, it was our first visit since it has re opened under new management. The last visit around a year ago was terrible so I was excited that it had been taken over and very much looking forward to the evening. Myself and one of our friends had the sharing fish platter which was amazing and the meals our other friends chose were also excellent however, not once did anyone bother to come and check if everything was ok or if we needed more drinks. A young member of staff eventually came over to ask if we had finished and took away half of the plates and didn’t come back, what seemed like an age later another member of staff brought a dessert menu and that was our chance to ask for another drink, we ordered our drinks and she brought the desert menus also, as we couldn’t decide what we wanted she said she would come back in about 5 minutes, she took the rest of the plates away and then didn’t come back! One of our party went to speak to the manager on duty and told him that we had really enjoyed the food but we’re not happy with the distinct lack of service and said we felt like there should be a discount on our meals. He agreed that he would give us a discount and then called some of the staff to have a word with them. After that we just got sly looks from the staff and no one bothered to come and speak to us or see if we wanted anything else. We went to ask for the bill and when another member of staff came with the card machine she was quite rude. Somebody had mentioned that there was a party of 30 in but on a number of occasions we saw groups of staff standing behind the bar just chatting. I was hopeful for a new local pub where we could go with other friends however, we will not be going there again or recommending it to anyone"

"Like the majority of the people in the country we were eager to escape lockdown and had planned a small tour of Shropshire, Herefordshire, Gloucestershire and Somerset.We called ahead and were greeted at the Squirrel for a pub stopover. on arrival we were given the choice of overnight parking for the campervan. having enjoyed the town of Ludlow, within walking distance of the pub, we returned and had a meal there. It was a little strange being the first day of opening but once we entered everything was well organised and socially distanced. as for the food that was excellent pub food and I can recommend the fish and chips.so, all in all, the Squirrel is well worth stopping at, the food is really good and the service was excellent. thanks to all the management and staff there, will see you all again soon."

"This weekend four of us had dinner at Bank House Brasserie in Sturminster Newton. We spent a few minutes looking at the extensive menu of Tapas and failing to decide, so ordered any four different Tapas and left the choice up to the friendly and efficient staff. These could be a starter before a main course, or we could order more. The first round saw us sharing a Whole Baked Brie, Tempura Vegetables, Oriental Duck Croquettes, and Pan-Fried Prawns. They were delicious. The Brie runny enough to soak the sourdough toast, the Tempura crispy outside yet fresh within, the duck matched with hoisin sauce, and the prawns good and garlicy. The Brie was large enough to last through our decision to ask for four different Tapas. For the second round we were served Slow Roasted Pork Belly, Chorizo in red wine, Bubble and Squeak Rosti, and a Patatas Bravas. As we finished these we all looked at each other with the unspoken question, ‘Shall we have another round?’. It was answered as soon as we caught the waitresses’ attention. Round three delivered Bank House barbecue Chicken Wings, Creamy Spinach Gratin, Classic Ratatouille and Chicken Rillette. The staff did ask us about any dietary preferences before serving us, but as a table of omnivores we were happy to try whatever came along. We left the choice of these twelve different dishes entirely up to the staff, and we were glad we did. There were elements that I would never have chosen myself but ate with gusto when they arrived. A hugely varied and enjoyable meal and a great way to eat together. Though none of the dishes disappointed we did each have a favourite, and they were all different! I highly recommend the food and the informal atmosphere of the Brasserie, possibly the most enjoyable use of one of the increasing numbers of empty bank buildings on our high streets."

"I had a pleasant experience when I visited this restaurant a few months ago, but after going back yesterday, I have decided it will be my last time. The service for drinks was incredibly slow and we had to pre-order our food from the festive menu. Unfortunately, one of the pre-ordered items was not available, causing a delay in receiving our food. Additionally, one of the waiters accidentally spilled a whole pint of lemonade on two of the guests without much apology. The floor under our table became soaked and sticky, and despite my request for it to be mopped, we were only provided with kitchen roll to clean it ourselves. Overall, I was very disappointed with the experience and found the food quality to be lacking."

"My son and I popped in after the dentist and we had a superb lunch. We received an amazing welcome from David, who could not have been more friendly or helpful, and really made us feel valued. We had a lovely table in the window to watch the world go by as we ate. Our food was delicious. I had the rotisserie chicken with fries and my son had an amazing burger. Both were great and excellent value for money. Would highly recommend!"

"This is a wonderful little restaurant with character and the food goes with it. The service was very helpful and accommodating , very friendly, but not overly so if you understand what I mean. We will go there again. DBM"
"Terrible service on my daughter's Birthday extremely unprofessional staff and the lady that served our table had a blank-looking facial expression and looked as if we didn't have a reservation and felt like her face was saying where did you all come from. No initiative in asking if we need anything whatsoever. The children and adults would say thank you to everything she would just again look with no reactions yet go over to other tables and talk to others with reactions. So me and my husband just assumed she must not have any ideas about British Values because the only thing that was different was our colour and that's why she behaved this way. If she knew her British Values she would have communicated with us for sure. The 23rd of July was the worst birthday ever for my daughter who only turned 12 We only had a group of 7 girls from my daughter's class and a couple of adults. Oh well i would not advice anybody to have a birthday party here at all as its horrible atmosphere. Negative energy all over the place mostly staff no smiles very fake smiles. Very soggy kids' menu and freezing cold horrible. The only person that was lovely was Chichi who was the girl I saw a day before the birthday to reserve the tables she was so kind and helpful."
