The Food

10 -Pickled Onion

Well, there wasn't one  - but to be fair, I am cheating here, it didn't claim to be a ploughmans! Anyway - Caperberries - so 10/10 for originality and wow. 

10 -Pickle

Homemade pickle that was just wow! Seriously, it was just perfect.

9 -Cheese / Ham.  I feel a bit mean giving it a 9, but there was no cheese, and, well, you can't give 100% or you would have to give up searching for great ploughmans if you had found the best.  The ham was home cooked, high quality, generous and delicious.

10 -Bread.

Just tip top.  Look at it - you want it!

5 -Spread (better be butter, or a choice).

Butter, perfect temperature, local, fantastic taste.

5 -Presentation

Beautifully presented - just look at the china.

5 -Salad, etc.

Fresh, tasty, nice dressing.

4 -Originality.  Very original.  Alas, the originality of no cheese drops a point.  Look this is going to be a short blog post!

The venue

8 -Service

OK, now I do feel mean for an 8 as service. We wandered in without a booking on a Sunday lunch, and they fit us in. I'm not complaining about the wait, it was entirely reasonable, and really not that long.  Look, perhaps I should give a 9, but, well...... Look - carry on......

10 -Atmosphere 

Beautiful in every respect.  Perfect English tea room, completely Dorset. Chocolate box stuff.  Amazing.  Seriously.

5 -Location

Come on - its picture postcard territory.....

5 -Toilets.

The loos are amazing.  It's in the garden and from another century, the age or elegance.  It's worth booking supper just to see the loo.
