The Horse And Groom - Purbeck

The smell of a wood burning fire was delightful but the ash seemed to be building up significantly. The toilets were fairly clean but dated. The cutlery that did arrive for my family was in a grimey and rusty old bucket. I myself had to remind the waitress I needed cutlery to eat and then ask again when they didn't bring them with a serviette. Best chips I have ever had, loved the selection of fish in the fish basket and was presented well and cooked to perfection on a bed of lovely salad. Definitely recommend food wise and had a good atmosphere.

Xmas evening 2/ 3 course meal . Fabulous night with hot and beautifully cooked food. Waitress service was exceptional and they should be very proud. Thank you for a lovely night . Wareham Carnival Committee .

Bob, Caroline, Joe the team never disappoint! It was my wife’s b’day and we wanted to have drinks with family friends at the horse and groom. The service was amazing and everyone had an amazing time, thanks to everyone at the Horse and groom. Such an amazing place that we can’t stay away from!! Thankyou!!

We were warmly welcomed when we arrived at the restaurant, even though we arrived earlier than our reservation time. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The Sunday roast was amazing, with generous portions that left us feeling extremely full. We were tempted to try one of the desserts, but we were too stuffed to fit anything else in! We highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be returning on our next visit.

I dropped in without a reservation for a table for two and found the restaurant to be very busy. The staff were excellent and advised us to have a drink while they arranged a table for us. Within 10 minutes, we were seated. We decided to order the special and before our meal arrived, the barmaid came over and offered us a better table. Despite the busy atmosphere, the staff took the time to upgrade our seating, which was above and beyond in my opinion. The meal itself was superb, though I didn't have room for dessert. I plan to visit again and have no reservations in recommending this restaurant to even the toughest critics. The staff are truly excellent and I highly recommend this venue.
