"Spontaneous lunch time visit for my husband and I. Lovely warm welcome, sandwiches freshly made to order with good quality ingredients and nice service. They are a busy pub which is a great sign, if you have to wait a wee while, it is so worth it! Good pubs deserve patience, they do the very best that they can! We loved it."

Wow! I wish this was my local! We were staying locally and booked in advance advising that two of our six had physical disabilities. From the start we were made so welcome. Ramps were there for a wheelchair and our table was well lit for our friend with limited sight. The menu was as stated on the website and the specials were excellent we tried the sea bass and the individual chicken pies. Our prawn cocktails were lovely and the local trout pate was delicious. The fish and chips and the Mediterranean tart went down well. We also gave a big thumbs up to the bread and really nicely cooked chips and veg. The portions were generous and we didn’t have room for anything other than icecream. A big...
The welcome and service could not have been more friendly. The menu was interesting and appealing, with plenty of things I wanted to eat. Starters (salt and pepper squid for me and scallops with black pudding and pea purée for my wife) were exceptional. For main I had chicken kebab with slaw, chips and salad, which was superb. My side order of onion rings was disappointingly oily. My wife’s beetroot and goat cheese salad was unfortunately not a success. Wine was delicious and it was all very reasonably priced. We will certainly be going back.
I met a friend for lunch on Thursday 7th September, it was a warm, sunny day so we ate in the garden. We ordered a round of sandwichs each but were told these would take at least half an hour. By the time they eventually arrived up it was nearer 35 minutes. The sandwiches themselves were quite good but having to wait that long is wholly unacceptable. Therefore my advice to those heading towards The Fiddleford Inn for lunch, is to allow plenty of time as service is at best unhurried.
We spent our friend's birthday weekend here, and had a marvellous time. Rooms beautifully appointed and comfortable, food excellent. Hosts Barry and llse couldn't do enough for us. Even ran members of our party back to Sturminster Newton both nights. We left feeling we were leaving friends behind. Thank you to all staff for making it such a lovely occasion. Hope to see you in the summer.
