"Fantastic. My family and I dined at this restaurant in December, a party of 15. Two of us have dairy intolerances, so we were pleased to find that they offer a separate dairy-free menu. They also have a gluten-free menu available. We made a reservation ahead of time due to our large group size and the holiday season. Upon our arrival, each subgroup was assigned a number for ordering purposes, making it convenient for each party to pay their own bill at the end of the meal. As for the food, my husband and I ordered from the dairy-free menu and were impressed with the clearly labeled dishes. I had the slow-cooked beef, which was delicious, and my husband enjoyed the minted lamb chops. What stood out was the variety of dairy-free desserts on offer, a rarity in most restaurants. The syrup sponge was a highlight, although the ginger sponge, while tasty, had a slightly gritty texture due to being gluten-free as well. The entire family had a great dining experience, and if this place were closer to home, we would be regular visitors. Kudos to the restaurant for their commitment to inclusive menus. I felt welcomed and safe with the food options provided. Thank you."

Great food, great value for money. Exceptional staff. Don't get here as often as we should but in all the years we have been in for a meal never had a bad experience.

Exceptional quality and service. The menu has plenty of choice and the restaurant is spacious and comfortable. The Cointreau coffee was the perfect ending to a superb meal. View menu

This used to be our go-to spot for lunch. The food is still top-notch, but the service was lacking during our visit yesterday (on a busy Sunday). We arrived for lunch at 3pm, as prebooked, but no one gave us a menu. After 15 minutes of waiting and struggling to get the attention of the staff, I had to go to the bar myself to request one. Nobody checked in on us or offered water. We experienced another long wait after finishing our first course. Eventually, a lady in a nice dress asked if we would like the dessert menu, but then disappeared without returning. After another 15 minutes, I had to go back to the bar to request the dessert menu. Despite the service issues, the restaurant does offe...

I stopped here whilst out cycling as I saw folks outside having breakfast. It looked so good I gave in to temptation and treated myself. So glad I did, it was amazing. I chose the Baby Bear, the smaller breakfast, it was still a very generous portion. All the food was cooked to perfection and very good quality too. Many places now try and get away with cheap sausages and fatty bacon... not here! Pot of tea for one was big too Easily equal to two big mugs. I liked the way it was all presented when the food came to the table. Even the butter had it's own little dish, which provided somewhere to put the tea bag after brewing! Lovely building that feels a bit posh on the inside which adds a tou...

"WOW! What can we say!? Chris Katie catered lunch at our beautiful outdoor wedding at Moonacre, Sturminster Marshall. They had a fantastic layout and lots of menu options available several different burgers, wieners fries! They absolutely smashed the service and excelled at feeding a few more than expected too! They made us a gorgeous little personalised menu also which we thought was such a nice touch! Everyone couldn’t stop talking about how amazing their food was even those who would never normally consider vegan options were blown away at how great everything tasted! They managed to positively influence even the most stubborn meat eaters of our guests to realise that they don’t need to miss out on flavour when choosing vegan options! That’s a huge win in our eyes! A couple of people even said it was the first ever vegan food they’d tried and they couldn’t get over how amazing it was! We told our guests about the Mighty Wieners restaurant in Bournemouth and will be bringing people back for more as they couldn’t wait to try more options! The day was such a huge success and Chris Katie did such an incredible job! We can’t recommend them enough, for food at their restaurant and wedding events catering! Vegetarian options: Excellent vegetarian and vegan options! Dietary restrictions: Served gluten free options! Kid friendliness: Excellent service friendly, warm and when above and beyond! Wheelchair accessibility: Perfect for full accessibility!"
