Broad Chalke Restaurants

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 English breakfast. Always a wonderful experience.

There is always a smiling friendly welcome from Connor and his team. We got the table we requested in the main restaurant and close to the warm woodburner. Great variety of food and drinks on offer for lunch and all reasonably priced. The Xmas trees were all sparkly giving a lovely festive atmosphere.

It was lovely to visit the Penruddocke after so many years. The food and staff were excellent, but the decor was basic - because the owners have clearly taken over and are rebuilding the business - something that we like to support as so many rural pubs/inns have disappeared this days. We were certainly made to feel special and were amply rewarded for travelling there. Thank you.
