Always a lovely time at the Dorset! One of my favorite places to eat. Best steak tartare in the world, Salmon with beetroot risotto was divine and of course, had the delicious Solero for dessert.

My friends and I went here for the Sunday roast, and it was amazing. There was a generous portion of beef and it was cooked perfectly (tender and so tasty), and there was a great helping of gravy and veg to go along with it (but I'd have loved some more potatoes!). Great value for money for the food, though the drinks were a little on the pricier side. The staff were really friendly and helpful and the environment was lovely overall - would highly recommend!

Another fabulous evening at our favourite neighbourhood spot! We paired the house old fashioned & Guinness with the sticky toffee pudding- absolutely divine. Hospitality from bartender Nick was 11/10.
