"We went here last Friday, we had a fish and chip van on our St Leaonards campsite that night but after reading reviews still decided to try here, wow, was we glad we did, it was outstanding, fish was lovely with crispy batter, the chips were superb and the curry sauce pots were out of this world, great size, and they delivered to us. Highly recommended. Keep it up Ferndown Fish Chips, we will be using you everything from now on when we're on holiday there."

"I believe those giving this restaurant five stars must be accustomed to bland food. The dishes were undercooked, with the green beans still crunchy and the potatoes dry. The portions were small for the price, and the beef was overcooked. The cakes were unimpressive and lacked flavor, especially considering their cost. One of the chefs was unfriendly towards customers, giving off the impression that he didn't want to be there. I definitely won't be returning to this restaurant."

"Karen was amazing and gave us a warm welcome, going out of her way to make sure we had a great experience. The food was delicious and the service was top-notch. We never felt pressured to leave, even when we lingered after finishing our coffees. It was disappointing that Billy wasn't there this time, as he made our last visit so special, but Karen more than made up for it."

"While staying at a nearby campsite, my husband and I reserved a table for Sunday lunch at this restaurant. The staff, including Michelle, were all very friendly. The carvery offered a delicious selection of beef, pork, turkey, and gammon, along with an assortment of wonderful vegetables. We both enjoyed our meals, with the beef being particularly delicious. My husband also loved the beef and turkey. We were too satisfied to have any desserts. Thank you to the chefs for a wonderful meal."

Wimborne Tandoori

"Dreadful experience... This restaurant has questionable standards, mediocre food quality, warmed up by basic chefs. If you're looking for high quality Indian food, this is not the place to go. Ordered a Cobra with the food and saw the owner top the pint with another draft beer as it was flat. I sent it back explaining I didn't want a blend of beers and ended up with a flat pint of Cobra. If they are prepared to behave like this in front of customers, what are they prepared to do in the kitchen. Ordered a Chicken Shashlik (my favourite dish). Was appalled how it was served. It consisted of oily fried sliced (not skewered) onions and peppers which had been re-fried swimming in oil with a few pieces of re-warmed up chicken tikka mixed in, with no tomatoes. It had not been traditionally prepared on a skewer and cooked from fresh in the tandoori as you would expect. When questioned over this disgusting offering, I was told, they cook everything first before they open and re-fry it in a pan for speed! This unacceptable, poor cheap standard of re-warming food up to order seems to carry on through all their dishes. The meat is tough and lacking in flavour. Would not recommend or go back. Restaurant did however in their defence give us a refund."

"Finally, and thank God, this awful dump has been finally shut down, putting the good people of Ferndown out of their misery. Not just the worst Wetherspoons pub in this country, but quite possibly the worst pub in any country. I’m normally positively disposed towards Wetherspoons. I don’t ever think about them, but most of the time they are generally ok and some of the time they are amazing. And while I would never ever go out of my way to get to one, I wouldn’t necessarily walk past one, either. Apart from this one. OK, you can’t fault the beer in any Wetherspoons, and that was also the case here. The beer was always excellent and served properly. That’s if you could get any of the bottom-of-the barrel staff to serve you. Instead of serving customers the staff were more likely to be chatting in the corner, tapping away on their iPhones, adjusting their facial jewellery, comparing tattoos, in short doing ANYTHING except serving customers. And when they could be bothered to serve customers, they’d wander out from their hiding hole yelling ‘who’s next?’. They’d never know who was next. I’d be surprised if they knew what day it was. When I worked in pubs and nightclubs you’d be sacked if you, as a member of the bar staff, didn’t know who the next 5 to 8 customers were in the correct order. You had to have that constantly changing list in your head. You’d be sacked if you shouted ‘who’s next?’. But not here; uselessness was the norm. There were some odd members of staff who tried their best, but they were few and far between. The food ranged from absolutely average at best, to utterly inedible at worst. It was never above average. Since when were chips that always seemed to have been ‘steamed’ a good idea? And it was all dumped on the plate and then thrown down on the table, usually without some of the ingredients listed on the menu as part of the ‘dish’, and with other things that you had ordered and paid for also missing ‘uh, yuhh, we nevuh got any of that, duhhhhh…’ . Occasionally, the so-called bar staff would wear body cams, which always made everyone laugh. The irony is that it should have been the customers wearing the body cams, just to record how dreadful most of the staff but not all of them were at their chosen profession. The rumours are that the building will now be torn down and that apartments be will built on the site. I’m tempted to buy one, not to live in it, but to occasionally use and flush the toilet in memory of this awful dump. Property prices in Ferndown will probably go up in now that it is gone. Not before time. Good riddance."

"Sunday lunch today was awful. One person ordered the two meat meal, one ordered turkey and one ordered macaroni cheese. The beef was meant to be cooked as their menu slightly pink, in fact it was grey and extremely tough. We sent it back and it came back with turkey which was totally smothered in gravy(which was very thick and strong) the sausage of pigs in blanket which we paid extra for tasted so totally wrong and ‘off’ I spat mine out. The waitress kept telling us that no one else had complained, which is basically saying we are being too fussy, actually don’t care if anyone else complained or not, if I am not happy with the meal I’m not happy. She did offer us a free sweet which we declined. I was totally disappointed with my meal and very surprised as I had been there many times and the food was always very good. We had in fact ordered another small meal as one of the party wanted a slice of beef and they could not supply that so we ordered another small meal, we returned that meal not touched as the beef looked grey and very over cooked. We were offered an alternative which we declined."

"The cozy pub we visited had delicious food and a lovely beer garden where we sat for a perfect little treat. The staff were friendly and Nan especially enjoyed her fish, describing it as the perfect ratio of fish to batter. She loved how thin and well-cooked the batter was, unlike some places where there is "all batter, no fish." Overall, we had a perfect experience and enjoyed the vibes of the background music playing. Highly enjoyable!"

"My friends and I came to stay here the past weekend, and stupidly I glanced at the overall rating and didn 't read any reviews and thought it would be fine. How wrong we were! On first impressions the rooms (we had 3 look lovely, and well appointed. However, then you get into it! I think between the 3 of us we could have made one room that would have been suitable. Problems included: A broken shower, lights out in the rooms, blinds that could not be opened, windows that don 't fit (so the noise is awful , dirty, uncomfortable beds, stained carpets, breakfast items unavailable, hairdryers dangerously broken, no cafetiere despite being given fresh coffee, but worst of all, NO hot water AT ALL . When we flagged this, we were told 'it 's an old building so these things happen '. Looking at the reviews, this is a regular occurrence and completely unacceptable. We were due to stay 2 nights, but after getting little sleep the first night, and going elsewhere for a coffee to contemplate, we decided to request a refund and book in somewhere else. We were told by the girl behind the bar that she didn 't know how to do that but would speak to her manager and no problem, we 'd get a refund for the second night given the state of the stay on the first. We commented that this was clearly a regular thing, as she was so quick to say no problem. I later on had a call from 'the manager ' to get feedback on our stay, who also confirmed that this was understandable and we would receive a refund....but that she would have to pass onto her manager. Finally, a THIRD manager rang to try to tell me that they had a cancellation policy, and I was not entitled to a refund I was not accepting this, and told her we had cut our losses on the first night, but that our stay was unacceptable and we were expecting 50% of the fee we had paid back. She conceded that this was fine, and would get her manager (how many levels?!?! to process. 4 days later, still no refund processed, and radio silence to my 2 emails to follow up, so I have opened a dispute with AMEX and come here to write this review."

"My wife and myself were recommended to go to the Coach Horses for lunch we were greeted by a young lady who told us and showed to sign in our reg on our car , we had not booked a table and as they were busy we had to sit in the bar for our meal but it was perfectly fine clean and comfortable ordering at the bar was easy and served by a very polite and helpful bar man, we both had a Hunters Chicken and this is one i often choose as it is one my favourite meals so i know when this done well and bang on absolutely perfect and the sauce on it was perfection. So we then had Millionaires Sundae for desert again to die for so nicely presented so would we have this again with out a doubt . I would also add the young man and young lady who were attending to our table and us were so nice and attentive , they told me the Chefs name was Gemma so well done Gemma, we will be back soon."

"We ordered our meal on Christmas eve from Harlees as we have done for many years, however this will be the last time. I am absolutely disgusted and livid at the service we received, we ordered online and were given a collection time of 6.20-6.30, my daughter arrived to collect and was told they were waiting for chips to cook to finish the order and to wait outside until it was done. which was fine. However she then waited a further twenty minutes to be called (which never happened and she had to chase it herself) whilst others were arriving, ordering and leaving with food whilst she waited. she then returned home with the order to find that one meal was missing. (these things happen) My other daughter then returned to the shop to ask after the missing meal. She was greeted by what I can only describe as the rudest service possible. Rather than an apology and the order corrected she basically accused of lying about the omission as the manager had worked on our order and that the cctv would have to be checked before the order could be corrected. The cameras were not checked and the order was corrected but in such an offensive manner my recommendation would be to think carefully before ordering here."

"Yesterday, I went with my family, to the Swans for a roast. My family have been going there very regularly. When we went to get our carvery, we noticed that all of the vegetables we yellow and insipid. When I ate the beef, it was so chewy I nearly choked on it. My daughter couldn't eat hers and both my parents did not take any vegetables. I never complain. But, I thought about it and I thought well if I spoke to them about it, it would give them the opportunity to put it right. They were very rude and would not talk to me. Although the chef, explained that vegetables are allowed to be kept on the hot plate for 40 minutes. And the vegetables were not even covered up. Last night I was sick with food poisoning. Very disappointed with their customer service. The fact that the restaurant area was almost empty, can mean only one thing, that they clearly have customers to waste."

"Last night, I had a delightful meal with friends at The Albion. We decided to try some of the new menu items, which were simply amazing. The friendly and helpful staff welcomed us with smiles, and we opted to dine in the bar for a more relaxed experience. The food was all deliciously prepared and beautifully presented, and our group enjoyed sharing a variety of starters such as kofta and prawns. For our mains, we savored the flavorful hunters chicken and fresh hand-cut salad. Two of us also tried the chili, which was a hit, although they weren't keen on sharing! I highly recommend exploring the new and expanded menu at The Albion - you won't be disappointed!"

"Loved the small selection of menu. It was a weekday and I'm always suspicious of large menus... Often a huge choice or frozen stuff and a bank of pinging microwaves.... ...But Not here! A Small selection of freshly prepared choices of main courses to go with their lovely real ales and other beverages. I opted for the liver and bacon with mash and gravy as its one of my favourite comfort dishes. Perhaps not typically a summer dish but uncious and tasty none the less. Service was quick and polite as it was on my previous visit. The pub itself has a great atmosphere and I soon found myself joining in with the local's and staff's chat and banter . As on my last visit, I had politely asked to stay over in their carpark in my campervan as I had business in Wimborne early next morning. I was Made very welcome and will return again if nearby."

"Please avoid this company. Booked for our wedding 18 months in advance. They cancelled 4 months prior to the day. They explained their business is going in a different direction and would no longer be doing weddings. We understood the challenges of the last year and accepted a refund of our deposit. To see they are still taking wedding bookings is extremely offensive. We understand they serve food daily from their unit and on their Facebook had a post that said ‘due to unforeseen circumstances’ they were shut for the same weekend of our wedding. Clearly they had other plans and had no consideration or care for the years of planning we had made. If they were more honest for their reasons then it wouldn’t have been leas frustrating. There are plenty of other local weddings caterers that match amazing food with the level of service you expect. Please be careful before booking."

"Had read excellent reviews of the food here and of the lovely rural location and it is indeed in a lovely spot. The pub was full of diners and locals at the bar and is obviously very popular. We just wanted to enjoy a drink in the garden, which lets the venue down a little bit. It appears that very little thought has been put into the outside space and the garden had an odd assortment of furniture which wasn't particularly comfortable to sit on. Unfortunately there was a very strong smell across much of the garden where there are metal drain covers in the lawn, for what I guess must be septic tanks. This meant we had to move tables a couple of times and ended up having to sit near the noisy fan from the kitchen to avoid the smell. Would happily return to dine inside, maybe this is more of a winter pub."

"We arrived Friday for a family wedding near by, we upgraded to the premium room, it was a lovely very size so was the bathroom. Our room was facing the main room, but it didn’t phase us, the hotel is on a crossroads so will be noisy the room was equipped with everything you needed coffee tea hot choc biscuits etc the bathroom had soap shampoo etc which was a nice touch room had dressing gowns also if you wanted to use them, downfall were the mattresses, they are passed their sell by date but other than that room was great, we had food on the Friday night and breakfast both morning food outstanding, the staff are really polite and helpful, Fran the land lady made us chuckle she’s so dry and very witty and the lady serving brekkie was like lovely, only downside if we had to moan were chairs inside outside need tightening, we had a lovely weekend and if we were to come back to the area we would definitely come back to the Horton"

"During our weekend getaway in Ferndown, we ventured out from our highly recommended hotel, the Bridghouse Hotel, in search of a local pub. We stumbled upon the White Hart, arriving just as it opened. The cozy pub had a log burner going and offered a selection of well-maintained local real ales from the 'Badger brewery' including Firsty Ferret and Tanglefoot. Despite the windy weather keeping many customers indoors, the friendly landlady Carol made us feel welcome. We enjoyed two hours of good company, great beers, and a fantastic ambiance. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth a visit. The pub is conveniently located next to Heskith Garden Centre, and it truly embodies a traditional and proper pub atmosphere."

"The tables outside had not been cleared when we arrived, the young staff all looked like they didn 't want to be there and were very busy. Had to wait for ages to be served, they weren 't sure if they could omit the tuna and give me plain cheese in my panini to start with!!. When our order arrived the young lad waiting gave my son his and said he didn 't know if he had the order correct but have it anyway. I bit in to mine only to find there was no filling what so ever, so they omitted the tuna AND the cheese just a plain piece of cardboard bread thinner than a flatbread. (My husbands had a miniscule amount of cheese in his. I informed the waitress of this who confirmed she thought it looked awful and offered a replacement and said the cheese had probably slipped out as there was nothing to hold it in! There would have been traces of cheese on it if they had put some in. I took the order back and told the man I assumed was in charge and he said that 's not what we are about but in fact it was because it had happened. He did apologise and gave me a refund but to me that was the least they could do. I shall remember my Mothers day lunch for all the wrong reasons and won 't be going back for any other meal in the future."
