The Countryman Inn

Beautiful food and the service was fantastic. Highly recommend!

The service was beyond terrible and took an hour to get our food and 40 mins for our first drinks. But the food itself was tasty, not worth the price.

Change of management since before Christmas and not for the better. A two meal order was messed up so we ended up eating separately and no one ever asked how our food was. Not rushing to go back.

Slightly disappointed given a great Dorset location but it was ver early in Post-lockdown eating. The food was ok but definitely not imaginative

Amazing food and services, would definitely recommend!

Great service friendly staff food was great and you can take your fog

Good food, good service, good price. Clean and tidy. I would recommend to a friend.

Usual high standard of service and quality of food and drink.

A very roomy pub.Very welcoming with a nice ambiance.Good menue with lots of choice .
Certainly worth a visit especially in these difficult times.

Usual high standard of food and service. Really friendly staff with time to make you welcome.

Warm welcome,friendly staff , good food, reasonably priced. Well worth return visits.

Not at their best but we can make allowances. They sorted out a pie problem but it shouldn't have happened. If it happened again we might think twice about recommendation

Couldn't resist the carvery as the smell of it hit you on entering and it was amazing! Plenty to choose from including 3 meats. Very Covid safe as you are given a list of the carvery choices and you simply tick what you want - everything if you wish!

We had a very good meal at the Countryman. Lovely carvery, only downside was it could have been a bit hotter. It was a bit lukewarm when it came to us. Service was very good & the staff friendly & helpful.

Had Sunday carvery, great choice, plenty on your plate. Would recommend.

Staff were friendly and social distancing and masks strictly adhered to. The food was delicious and warm. Two of us had sirloin steak which was tender, tasty and cooked just right.

Great food, good service. A lovely find in the Dorset countryside!

Covid safe and excellent service with delicious food.

Great food and service in the current climate. Good menu selection for adults and children. We will be back

Fabulous Sunday roast dinner.

The service and food was excellent. There was plenty of social distancing. Great place to eat.

Staff were very friendly and helpful, and the interior of the premises looked as if they had been recently tastefully decorated, music was subtle and together these created a very good relaxing ambiance in which to enjoy well cooked pub food. Overall very good

Excellent menu. Tasty food. Pleasant atmosphere. Friendly staff. Would recommend

I highly recommend. We met with friends who hadn't been here before, they really enjoyed too. The carvery was fresh and delicious. Staff were attentive and friendly. During these difficult times every attention to detail was put in place for the safety of customers. You need to book and they are very dog friendly in the bar area.

Nice food but the menu needs attention.
I know it’s reduced due to COVID-19 but the food chain has no issues now.
As we go quite often the choices are so limited and getting a bit boring

Love it ,was a lovely experience, will definitely be going again,

Social distancing, hand hygiene and staff masks adhered to. Very friendly staff and delicious hot food promptly served.

Friend was very happy with her meal but the lasagne I had was burnt and the sauce dried up but pub was very nice

Lovely food great service. Shame it was rather chilly inside but probably due to not so many people (Covid)

Everything was amazing very impressed would suggest putting gates on fencing into car park as we had to 3-year-olds with us who kept escaping and we thought you had a children’s play area as advertised but in no way did it ruin our day we will definitely be back but without the kids !! Thank you brilliant .... Chicken burger was fantastic I would love the recipe chicken burger was fantastic ... Best I’ve ever tasted Best I’ve ever tasted. I would love the recipe?

Sunday lunch (vegetarian for us) was very good. However, the service was slow. It was 29 minutes before our drink & food order was taken (even though we had booked a table). The girl who took our order didn't know if they had any real ale. It was quite noisy where we were sitting (people on the next table were playing a noisy video on their phone). Although the pub had set up a one way system & table service, people sitting in the garden came into the pub through the exit & were ordering drinks & food at the bar (without masks & not at the place where the screen was). No staff had masks. We were going order a dessert but the girl who was at the till was touching her nose & face. So when she came over to take our order, we decided not to have a dessert.

It was very nice, from last time we were in, could see portion sizes had changed a lot, ie lasagne

Excellent food, service and atmosphere, even in these times. Would happily visit again

Quick and pleasant service

A disappointing visit, spoilt by a table of teenagers next to us, who appeared to be locals, who thought it was ok to use the F and C words out loud,climb over their table to get in and out, and use their phones on loud speaker. The steak and ale pie was nice though, and the service attentive, but we won't return for a nice dining experience!

We have had a meal at the countryman 3 times in the last month and every time the service and food as been very good.

Nice enough although a number of menu items were unavailable...

Good food, good service, despite the waitress not having a sense of humour. Excellent atmosphere 👌

When we arrived after we ordered we were told they had no steak we then chose another dish again out of stock so settled for a third option
The food was ok but no real taste!
None of the staff showed us or told where to get the cutlery and sauces from, just an overall disappointment and not value for money at all

Lovely meal, great service. Very dog friendly. Win, win!
