The Grasshopper

Pretty much as expected at lunchtime..the food was good and served as it should be though had, for some reason, expected more adventurous options but nevertheless good and not overpriced. It was very empty so difficult to gauge atmosphere though imagine it's cosy when busy. Service was excellent..our waiter..didn't catch his name..was efficient, welcoming and helpful.

Open plan kitchen* . Marcus the head chef came to our table . I spoke with him at length about the food . I had the mini macaroni cheese topped with Panko breadcrumbs and triple cooked chips . It was delicious. I also had dark chocolate mousse topped with berry compote it also comes with granola and coconut but I am highly allergic to coconut so they didn't add either the granola or coconut. Kyle was our server and he went above and beyond for us . Faultless service impeccable food . Well worth a visit , great value for money. I will definitely be going back there soon . 5 Stars .

Whilst away for a week near Poole we booked this last minute on the Wednesday night, it was so good we went back on Saturday, fantastic food, brilliant service, the staff were all quite young which, sadly, often means they are not engaging, but the staff were lovely, well recruited or well trained (or both). Superb dining experience, I am now on the lookout for H&W pubs near me.

Went today for a late lunch. This is my local so I have to be loyal... but that's not difficult because it's a great pub. Lovely staff, excellent food. Restaurant if you fancy formal or the bar which is cosy and has a fire. Lots of outdoor tables with heating. Pub quiz Monday and DJ on Saturday. Dogs welcome. I've posted a range of food from the different menus they offer, their Christmas dinner was really good
