THE BARN CAFE DORSET REVIEWS

Fantastic food and great portions, I can see why it has so many great reviews. The staff were really friendly and helpful. It gets busy very quick, so you may have to wait (or book), we didn't have to wait but noticed a few did have a little wait while we were there. We sat outside, under cover. They have amazing heaters that kept us warm, despite us not sitting near the heaters so although the weather was miserable outside, it didn't affect our stay. Food selection was great. Bring your appetite as the portions were a good size, plus they have so many amazing cakes to choose from. Only down side is they don't have a kids menu, I don't think they necessarily need a separate menu, just maybe smaller portions for little tummies. It didn't affect us however as 4yo is autistic & has to have specific packed lunch, 9yo enjoyed the ham & cheese panini (pic shows half his panini as he enjoyed it so much). I would love it if they did a variety platter with the cakes, it was so hard to choose from! I had the meat quiche of the day & Jamie Dodger desert (I was stuffed and had to take some home) while hubby had omelette plus sides and 4yo had summer berious slice for dessert!

Popped in for lunch on a weekend. Staff were very accomodating with our dog and super friendly. Decent menu and food presented beautifully, especially for the price! Our only issue was a distinct lack of chicken when we paid extra for it in a Caesar salad. Otherwise, highly recommended.

A fantastic place hidden away in a peaceful location. The building and decor is great, rustic and cosy. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The food tastes fresh, with good quality ingredients and well presented.

THE KITCHEN POOLE PARK REVIEWS

A cosy comfy, relaxed setting for a lazy rainy afternoon with the family. Lovely views across the park and cool art deco vibes. Staff were fabulous The food we had was absolutely delicious, but would have liked to see a soup option / pasta dish and jacket potatoes - that would have made it a 5 star and helped us best cater to all allergies and dietary restrictions. But cannot fault what we did eat. Very yummy.

Visited The Kitchen yesterday for the first time since it reopened and wow! This place has had so much potential for years, yet I feel it was never used appropriately. With a new General Manager in place and now a much more friendly team of staff this place seems to be buzzing already and there were limited seats when we turned up. I had the Fish in a Bun which was bloody delicious and there was no faults from any of us on our table. With the weather on the change and the evenings getting lighter this is just a perfect spot. Well done to Jack and the team for turning this place around!

Modern cafe with easy access and good selection catering for all tastes situated in Poole Park. Fantastic view over large lake with gulls, ducks and swans including the pedalo variety! Ample free parking and plenty of disabled spaces. The view from the first floor balcony must be spectacular when open. Separate ice cream parlour. Recommended.

JAZZ CAFE SANDBANKS REVIEWS

Perfect place to stop for a coffee or lunch! Food was so good the other week when we came, I had a tuna and cheese panini. Just the right amount! And thale salad dressing was lush too! Today we decided on a slice of brownie each with our usual caramel latte and my boy loves the doggy sausages! We usually park up in the main carpark, walk along the beach, stop at the cafe and then walk back. We have one happy little boy!.

Absolutely loved it here!!! The jacket potato with tuna sweetcorn and cheese was amazing.

Fantastic evening! Food was amazing, staff super attentive and the vibe during the performance was immaculate.
