At Plumber Manor - Menú

We visit Dorset several times a year and always visit Plumber, it’s become tradition and there is no place like it. Just special.

Nice menu, excellent service, good food and desserts to die for. Very relaxed atmosphere while retaining a bit of style. Highly recommended.

Really delicious food, well thought out and carefully put together with many local ingredients. Portion sizes are big enough to fill you up, but still leave a tiny space for pudding.

Superb Sunday lunch Staff very welcoming and attentive.Plentiful choices on menu for all courses. All three courses were delicious.Highly recommended.Salted caramel creme brulee yummy.

The menu was extensive and the wine list excellent. The food was of good quality and well cooked, but played safe and harked back to earlier decades which, of course, is absolutely fine if that is what you want.

We went for lunch on a Sunday and thought the location was fantastic. However, we were disappointed with the overall experience. The food was just average, which was a letdown considering our high expectations. Sorry!

Perhaps it is better to visit during the week when an a la carte menu is in place?

Great choice on the menu with 3 courses for £40. We were taken through to our table where we were served homemade bread with butter. Our starters arrived and we enjoyed prawn cocktail with a vodka based sauce, smoked salmon and trout with beetroot salad and mushroom mille fueille. All delicious. After a little rest our main courses arrived and we enjoyed steak, lemon sole and pork loin. There was a great selection of vegetables to accompany the meals. Desserts are presented on a trolley and the choice is amazing. We chose a l...

We made a reservation the day before for my birthday dinner. When we arrived, we initially felt a bit underdressed compared to the local patrons, but we were warmly welcomed by the staff and owners of the Manor. We had plenty of time to peruse the menu and wine list. Our starters, scallops and a trio of mushroom parcel, were excellent. We opted for the beef Wellington for our main course, which had a minimum order of two. This was a new experience for us, but we were impressed with the portion size, two potato dishes, spinach, and hollandaise. We chose the Madeira sauce over the béarnaise, which was delicious and very satisfying. Everything was cooked perfectly - the beef was tender, the pas...
