Little Chef in West Dorset

I'm Italian, and this was the best Italian meal I had from last 10 years. Not many time I indulge myself for a restaurant meal, we chose right with The Parlour. I had an incredible Sardinia fregula with cozze, vongole and Calabrian nduja; my little 4 years old daughter had her face into handmade fettuccine pasta with tomato sauce, simple and delicious. Next time I want to try scallops and maiale al latte. A presto

I think it must have been a Mexican night last night! Really nice place and people. Food was excellent. Def will add it to my go to list whenever in the area.

Absolutely wonderful! Could not recommend it enough! Magical hideaway with great food, music and humans :) Be there or be nowhere!

Nice cafe/restaurant that is very popular, food is good and reasonable priced, worth booking ahead. 9/10.

Visited Bredy Farm pre-pandemic to buy takeout cider and enjoy a glass while there but hadn't realised the site had expanded to include The Parlour. Enjoyed an excellent lunch with family (10 of us) and the venue, staff and food/drink didn't disappoint!

We called the day before to ask if we could order takeaway pizzas for a large group and were told yes and that we had to order at either 5pm or 8pm on the day. However, on the day, at 5pm the chef was incredibly rude to us and agreed to make some pizzas and said we had to come back at 8pm to order the remaining 3 and that they would make them then. Our 3 friends then agreed to wait 3 hours. At 8pm they returned to the bar and the chef said they could not do the 3 pizzas anymore. Our friends therefore had to drive to the nearest shop to buy food to cook for dinner at the campsite. If the restaurant could not have done all pizzas then they shouldn't have said they could in the first place, and especially not by saying our friends had to wait 3 hrs! It seems odd to offer a takeaway service if that's not possible.

Superb food but the menu is uninformative and does the superb chef a disservice. Our friends were ready to leave saying nothing appealed to them but when they tried the food they were delighted BUT why put great food on cold plates?

We enjoyed lunch at The Parlour so much that we booked a table for dinner the following day.The staff were friendly, polite and never stopped smiling. The food was delicious. We will definatly go again the next time that we visit Dorset. It was good value and a gastronomic delight. Well done.

Fantastic food - really fresh and innovative.Almost didn’t want to review this as prefer it to be a secret! Fun atmosphere and attentive staff. Casual dining at its best! Well worth avisit.

Had the porchetta roast dinner ... All I can say is wow the flavours were amazing, pork cooked to perfection, roast potatoes in crispy on the in outside and fluffy on the inside. The vegetables were delicious and fresh and the gravy was a taste sensation. The option to have a Yorkshire pudding would have been nice as was super jealous of my friends and that why can only beef have a Yorkshire. The atmosphere yet again was perfect and service was also good. Would highly recommend and will be back again soon.
