Went here after seeing a sign for it in the street. The food was absolutely delicious. I was spoilt for choice with the menu and there was lots of room inside, upstairs. Good service too.

Had the best Greek salad outside of Greece and my husband had the best Dorset Ploughman's lunch. Really delicious and well-presented food in a small, friendly cafe. Generous portion sizes too. You can't see the huge chunk of cheddar in the pic as it was behind the huge hunk of wholemeal bread! Highly recommended.

Tiny little cafe but at the same time loads of seating! Really friendly staff and the cream tea was the best I've ever had! A cream tea was less than 10 and you get two huge scones and a bowl full of jam and cream! So so delicious! I will most certainly be returning to try other things on the menu!!!

A fantastic cafe, serving delicious, well priced food. We stopped for lunch and enjoyed sandwiches, soup of the day, and the crab bisque, followed by treacle and ginger tart and Bakewell tart. All of this was homemade and the portions were excellent. This cafe is not to be missed!

A lovely lunch, luckily we found this one for lunch, only looked for it as I noticed the Sign a bit further down the road. Really good food. It was lovely and quiet for us, but I guess on a busy day would be just as nice as the food is good so this is what matters. Thank you so much. We were passing through Dorchester a few days ago and will certainly visit again.

Lovely little place. Actually more space in there than you might think. Very nice & friendly staff. Didn't have to wait too long for service & food. Very tasty meals, & excellent sized portions at a very reasonable price. Will certainly visit them again next time I'm in Dorchester.

A smart cafe with a good selection of savoury lunch options. I had the toasted pastrami sandwich, New York style, it was excellent. A well deserved high rating.
