The Ollerod

Fabulous fixed price lunch; Highly recommended. The skills and effort going into the making the dishes (flavours and presentation) massively surpasses what you would expect at this price point. Five of us ate a range of dishes and each was special in it's own way. Served by very friendly and accommodating staff. By far the best meal out in our weeks holiday in Dorset.

We booked the Ollerod for a few days. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The room was well decorated and clean with a comfortable bed. But the standout feature of the Ollerod is the outstanding restaurant. They have a chef who is imaginative and inventive. Everything we had was delicious. Can not recommend enough.

Stayed here for 2 nights at the beginning of April 25. Had dinner here and the food was great, but it was a very rushed service - very small space between courses; it almost felt like they wanted us through and out so they could re-sit the table. We wanted to savour and enjoy the food (which, to be fair, was good, if a bit over-seasoned) but it was all too rushed to be relaxing. The room was great though - clean and one of the more spacious 'pub' style rooms I've been in - and the staff/service were excellent. Slow down my friday evening dinner, let me relax and enjoy it and you'd have got 5 stars!

Lovely meal here. A great value set lunch is available but we had some of the mainly Asian themed small plates. Standouts were the Thai vegetable fritters, the lightest tempura of prawn and the Guinness/toffee sponge with stout ice cream. Service was excellent by a couple of very efficient young ladies. Only visiting the area for a few days unfortunately. Would love to have a gem like this in our town!

We had a delicious lunch at The Ollerod - the staff couldn’t have been more friendly and accommodating to our party, plus the food and drinks were fantastic. We sat in the garden which was peaceful and beautifully kept. Couldn’t recommend The Ollerod highly enough!

We couldn't have been better looked after at The Ollerod. Every member of staff was so accomodating, warm and personable - they truly bent over backwards to make sure everything was just right. They even helped us book a taxi back to the nearest station at the end of the trip, when we were really struggling. (My only advice if you're staying in the area for weddings etc - learn from our mistake and book your taxis well in advance!) I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Amber gave us absolute exceptional service ! Went above and beyond and checked on us all evening . Also helped with surprising my friend with a birthday cake. She even said goodnight to us at the end of her shift . Ollerod you have an absolute star ⭐️ in your team .

We had a fabulous lunch, celebrating our recent wedding. Really tasty food options. The service was very good, staff friendly & welcoming. We sat in the garden which was very pretty.

Fantastic food, excellent service. A cut above the rest and well worth a visit. Tastefully decorated and situated in a 13th century country house, The Ollerod is the perfect blend of contemporary and historical significance.
