Found myself working locally to this place so popped in for lunch. Limited menu for my taste, but plenty to choose from, so I opted for the burger. Came out very quickly. Nicely cooked and a good sized portion. Good chips. Service was good. Prices very reasonable.

A friendly popular tearoom offering a wide range of refreshments from a hearty cooked breakfast, full lunch menu and afternoon snacks and homemade cakes. We also serve some Gluten and dairy free choices. Our specials board is updated daily.

Why do tea rooms mostly close at tea-time (around 4.30)? And why do they make it so obvious that you are the last customers of the day and they are closing up around you? This place was one of those, and was depressing therefore, and perfunctory. On the plus side, they were dog-friendly. The teacakes arrived with 2 rock-hard pre-wrapped pats of butter. Teacakes are nothing if they are not buttered immediately, allowing all the wonderful butteriness to sink in. So, perfunctory - it avoided a "poor" because of the dog-friendlinessThank you for your review although not very complimentary.Let us address your issues.We can't comment on other tea rooms but our hours are officially 9am until 4pm. However if we are at the tea room we are open.In the morning when we are preparing for the day or in the afternoon when we may be cleaning down.If you have ever worked in this line of business you would understand that everyone has a different preference to how they have things done and because of this we will never please everyone. Our kitchen is small and gets very hot if the butter is left out the butter becomes liquid in the pack which is not good.It would have been nice if we could have been given the chance to have rectified the butter issue for you but if you don't say we can't.Our tea room is run by just the two of us, a husband and wife team. We work long hours but we always have time for our customers and it's especially nice when they engage with us.Yes we are also dog friendly which we are happy to be. Though this can have its draw backs as we can lose custom if people don't want to eat where there are dogs. Again an example that you won't please everyone.Kind regardsWayne and GerryThe Georgian tea room

I ate here with a group of friends and as a large group we preordered our food. I cannot eat milk or egg due to allergies, so when my friend visited to confirm arrangements she went through the menu with the landlord to confirm what I could eat. I selected from the meals offered and when sending the menu back she noted the allergies against my order to be sure the kitchen had the information - I also ordered a meal I was told was vegan. I asked again as my food was handed to me and was told it was fine. As I took my first bite the waitress came out and told me no it wasnât safe, it had milk in. She offered a brief apology and took my meal to change it. Not once did anyone ask if I was ok or needed anything, I was ok, I can tolerate one bite but others might not be so lucky. With three checks you think theyâd have got it right! I didnât kick up a fuss, nor should I have to, as my friend had put so much effort in I didnât want to make her feel bad. I emailed them the next day to ask how theyâd ensure it didnât happen again as mistakes like this can kill, 8 days later and no response. To top it off we were chased into the car park when we left saying we hadnât all paid - we had! Mistakes happen but it was a bit embarrassing the way they handled it.

We tend to stick to the classics and not mess with them too much. Instead focus on quality of ingredients and attention to detail in the kitchen. Pies, Sunday roast, fish and chips and a good curry are part of our culture and what people expect to see on

Went here with another couple on Thursday evening to celebrate our anniversaries, we have lived in the area for over 20 years and never got around to coming here - what a mistake! What an excellent evening, the staff very friendly, good selection of beers and outstanding meals. We had a couple of the sharing boards to start both had a good selection of meats and accomplishments, both men had the Steamed Steak and Ale Pudding (could not fault this) and the ladies opted for the Honey and Mint Lamb which they both praised. We will definitely be making up for the lost years of not visiting this great local inn in the past.

After reading the reviews we booked to bring family who were on holiday to Royal Oak, have no issue with 2 sitting restaurants however donât expect to have to wait for over an hour for food and then get given desert menus before finished main course. Food was over cooked with Macaroni Cheese dry and hard and garlic bread resembled a biscuit. Roast plentiful and turkey lovely however beef very tough. Complained about fish and chips and got it refunded. Really disappointing as was expecting a lovely meal unfortunately can not reccomend

A quintessential Dorset Village pub & Cottage. Located on the edge of the Cranborne chase, area of outstanding natural beauty. Fireplace, pool table, darts, great beer & freshly prepared food. Open 7 days a week.
Reviewed By MikjallButer
We hired out the accommodation the pub has to rent. Simply put...it is the best little cottage we have stayed at with our dogs. Immaculate finish, more than enough room and so clean. A real gem that we are already planning to book again. Desi was lovely and really couldn't do enough for us. So helpful. The pub is literally 5m from the front door. They do a nice range of beer and drinks. The food was splendid.Location, really centrally placed to get to poole or Weymouth or further afield should you wish. It took us around 35-40 minutes to get to West Lulworth. Thank you both for making our trip that much better.

We make and bake as much as is humanly possible here in our open kitchen. Locally roasted coffees and locally blended teas. We are a little bit different without being too 'off the wall'! Come and try us. Steve.

We went there following recommendations from trip advisor and enjoyed it.Good quality produce but disappointed much of the menu unavailable. No license but excellent coffee. Thank you, that's really kind of you!We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your visit and that you found us via trip advisor. Apologies if we had sold out of many of our dishes. The fact we had, leads me to assume you visited later in the day when it's true we do sell out of dishes. We believe in making small daily batches to ensure our food is as fresh as possible and on busy days we do tend to run out as lunch goes on, particularly the brunch menu which is available from first thing in the morning.Thank you again for taking the time to post such a lovely review and we hope to see you again soon.
