The Horse With The Red Umbrella

Had scone and cream tea here today. What lovely people . We have a Dog as well.’ Nothing seemed to much in here . What a lovely find

On a cold October day you couldn’t want for a warmer welcome. The homemade cakes are Devine, the coffee fantastic and the food menu is enough to make you salivate. John the owner completes the experience and brings his Italian heritage to the menu.

Visiting the area today and we popped in here . Was lovely , staff friendly and food was superb . Bought some homemade cakes to go and were great . Really nice place to sit and have lunch and a coffee and when in the area we will definitely return . Ver carta

My wife and I went for lunch, and we were made to feel very welcome with our dog. We had thw days special of bubble and squeak with bacon and eggs. We liked them and also very well priced. We also had a take away cake which was also lovely. We will be going back.

I have been having takeaway food from here over the past 20 years and have never put pen to paper but you REALLY should try their bacon rolls and some of their succulent home made cakes. A real credit to Dorchester and great that they still serve takeaway food in these hard times.Thanks for some great nosh guys.

We dined at John and Franca's last Tuesday and both enjoyed the delicious Shepherd's pie. The staff was very friendly and provided excellent service, always willing to accommodate our needs. We highly recommend this fantastic dining venue. The variety of cakes offered was also wonderful. We look forward to visiting again soon. Ver carta

What a fabulous find. The food the staff and service was 100%. We were looked after from the moment we walked in and it was packed. We were seated on a two seater in the alcove. When another table became available, we were offered a bigger space. Honestly, the staff could not do enough for us. I didn’t get anyone’s name but they all excelled. If you are looking for somewhere to eat on your visit to Dorchester, do not walk past but walk in and be given 1st class treatment.

We discovered this cafe en route from Southampton to Torquay. We received a very warm welcome and seated. All “COVID” practices in place. We had luscious latés, made very hot as requested . I will say the best laté I have tasted for a very long time . I had an apple/cinnamon danish, very tasty, Pete had homemade cherry bakewell.We will definitely visit again, maybe nearer lunchtime so we can enjoy something from the tasty menu.Even when we walked passed 30mins later, we received a wave . How lovely.

Always our favourite location for breakfast, lunch, tea, in Dorchester. Good range of light bites, snacks and full meals, of very high quality, and served quickly. Friendly proprietors and staff and interesting surroundings in a very old building on the High Street. The range of 'properly ' homemade cakes, all of an exceptional standard, sets a challenge as to which to try next. e.g. The Beltane, (nb T.Rex lyric in Ride a White Swan) is to die for. We factor in Dorchester on our itineraries, (we were going to a concert in Weymouth) just to visit The Red Horse Cafe. Marvelous! Ver carta
