"Booked a table of 5 for my birthday dinner. We were promptly seated then immediately asked for drinks orders before even being offered a drinks menu or water. After we had ordered drinks we were being rushed into ordering some food, every two minutes different waiters coming and asking if we are ready to order (at least 7 times). After we did order and the food was brought out, we were then just forgotten about and nobody came over anymore to check if we needed any more drinks (4 out of 5 glasses were empty) or if the food was ok. (It was- but no one checked). After we had finished dining, we still had empty glasses and had to wait 20+ minutes until we eventually stopped a waiter walking past and asked if we could order more drinks. The drinks then took another 15 minutes to come. It was also very disappointing that although we had mentioned on the booking itself that it was for my birthday, there was no acknowledgement of this (I have been before and had received a plate with ‘happy birthday’ written on it in some kind of sauce with a sparkler). My sister even went to ask the woman working on the front desk and received a standoffish attitude back saying no. When the £235 bill came, it even listed ‘birthday plate £0.00’ on it!!! That really let the evening down. The interactions with the staff themselves were great, they were very polite and personable but the actual level of service of being rushed to order and then totally forgotten about really dampened what could have been a fantastic evening."

"My husband and I were visiting Poole and found The Thai Pantry on Google Maps. After having a look at the menu and salivating we decided to book a table. We were definitely not disappointed. The welcome is warm and friendly and the owner is happy to chat. The food is absolutely delicious and were we to be here another night we would most definitely be back. We can't recommend it highly enough. All we can say is how lucky the people of Poole are to have this on their doorsteps!"

"Went to The Pizza Box in Broadstone as it is local to us and were looking for friendly restaurant to take some family that were visiting at the time. Has a great atmosphere and clear view of the kitchen and their impressive pizza oven. Drinks reasonably-priced and an excellent range of beers, gins etc. available since the Drinks Shack is also part of it. Good selection of pizzas available, all freshly cooked and prepared to order. Nice thin and crisp base, just how I like it. Staff friendly and helpful. I will definitely go back."

"This place is small but cute. Staff are very friendly and know what they are doing. Only downside is the poor disability access. It's a converted house in the old part of wimborne so I get that it's tricky. But some small ramps would make a huge difference. The food is top quality and freshly prepared on site. Very cute garden at the rear. The team work hard to offer fantastic service and a welcoming atmosphere. You will not be pleased you searched it out."

"Lyssa was fantastic throughout our dining experience. She ensured our drinks were always filled and that we were enjoying ourselves. Her service at the table was impeccable and her personality was wonderful. She is an outstanding member of the team and I hope to have her as our server for future visits."
