Best restaurants near me in Blandford Forum

Our first time, and we were delighted with the quality of the food, friendly service and ambience. We will become regulars.

Great - in fact more than pretty good place to eat on a Monday evening. Shame we were the only people on an early monday evening booking, but some locals were having a fun time at the bar. Nice to se that these days. Am sure the place buzzes when more diners are in. Staff were great. Location great. We'll go again.

The best restaurant experience I have received in a long time, from the moment we walked in to the moment we left, the attention, friendliness and professionalism was absolutely top quality. The food was superb and the service was brilliant. An all round wonderful experience to celebrate our son’s graduation, thank you The Ivy, you have a fantastic restaurant and team in Bournemouth👌🏽

Busy when we arrived, lots unexpected, big group guests so the restaurant was packed. However were treated very well, great service, lovely food. We will return! Thankyou to your fab staff

We had a really great meal at the Chequers pub. There were three of us plus dog. One of our party had a food tolerance issue and the staff were really good about checking whether the person's choice of meal could be an issue (it wasn't, so that was good). The dog got made a fuss of too. The only oddity was that the place felt really empty for a Thursday evening, which was a shame as the food and drink is great. Not something the staff can necessarily do a lot about, but it did feel quite lonely, and no general background music we could hear. 🤷
