Best restaurants near me in Shaftesbury, England

Excellent lunch at a great local country pub! Thoroughly enjoyed our time and will definitely be back!

Visited for the first time today, although myself and hubby have visited a number of ivys in the past and the new Bournemouth brasserie lived up to the high expectations of the Ivy. We were greeted with very friendly, welcoming and accommodating staff that honestly could not do enough for us. The decor is absolutely stunning and the service from start to finish was impeccable, we felt like royalty!! Most importantly the food was stunning. It was served to us in a very timely manner, well presented, hot and it was extremely delicious. We have already booked for Valentine’s weekend as we were totally blown away by the whole dining experience. Thank you and merry Christmas to all the wonderful hardworking staff at the Ivy that really did go above and beyond to make our experience a fantastic one.

This is the second time I've been for brunch at Pythouse. SO pleased I have finally found a place where I can go with friends and family for a brunch that doesn't disappoint. The decor, the setting, the service, and the food are all incredibly brilliant. i intend to work myself through the menu as the flavours, pairings and presentation are wowzers. Come hungry, as the portions are capable for setting you up for the day. I never leave without a few bottles of condiments from the shop too, as we quickly get though them, especially the Smoked Squash Ketchup! Bravo guys!

Great service and very friendly. Got a little busy and that meant the attentive nature to start dropped off. And the food was pricy for what it was. But delicious.

This is the third time I have been to Nest and I absolutely love what you guys are doing. Was there on a date, we could comfortably talk without thinking anyone would overhear our conversation, perfect ambience, it's like you have walked into a friend's place. We had lots of small plates (tapas style) and the food is just fabulous, top flavours. Happily worth every penny as the whole experience is lush.....wishing the team at Nest continued success, it's great to have such a restaurant in shaftsbury x
