"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."

An innovative place for an English restaurant. It is not a pub nor a classic restaurant. Many dishes inspired by Spanish cuisine, but also an excellent lasagna!! Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £30–40 View menu

The food was amazing here with a good choice of tapas. There were a good variety of gluten free options on the menu. The service was a little slow, but they had a huge party of people to deal with and kept us informed. Lovely choice of cocktails and mocktails, too. Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5

This was our third time eating here and once again it didn't disappoint. There were 4 of us and we shared a number of dishes, all of which were delicious. The restaurant was busy with a great atmosphere and the staff were so helpful and friendly. Our waitress was brilliant and very patient with us as we tried to decide what to order. The manager was also very friendly, chatting to everyone and making sure we were all enjoying our meal. We will definitely be back.

Booked a meal with my friend to celebrate our birthdays, we're both busy mums so don't get out that often. My lasagne came out and was frozen in the middle, when I raised this with the waitress she was understanding and brought it back out, clearly it just had a quick blast in the microwave! It was a Thursday evening, we were the only ones in the restaurant, when we suggested we shouldn't be charged full price for the frozen lasagne the chef went nuts and actually shouted at us, telling us we had used his heating and shouldn't expect a free meal. I'm not one for complaining about food, hence why I still ate the lasagne after it had been reheated, but felt it was right was to ask for a discou...
