The best restaurants in Ferndown Central East Dorset South West

The Beacon used to be amazing when it was run by Paul. I haven't been for a couple of years and decided to take some friends there for lunch. We booked a table the day before, as one of our party has limited mobility. When we arrived, they knew nothing of our booking and ended up pushing two tables together by the door, so we were sat in the draft. The standard of food has gone downhill immensely, and the available choices are limited. Nothing compared to what it was. We were a party of five and all our food came at different times, so we weren't eating together. The food took so long that our drinks were cold by the time it arrived. Lastly, I was SHOCKED at the prices! It cost nearly £80 for lunch for five people - and all we had were sandwiches and a couple of jacket spuds... This is all such a shame as it used to be excellent!

Adecuada inicio - grub formulada en su mejor. Era un servicio realmente bueno, una persona de nuestro grupo es alérgica al gluten. Después de mencionar a Mike todos estábamos completamente atendidos y muy feliz! La alternativa verdadera ventaja sobre la opción libre de gluten. Seguro que volveremos, delicioso

Very good client attention for tourist and good site for take some fast food

Great breakfast, God value for money and friendly staff. Highly recommend. Thanks

Bitterly disappointed Luke warm food at best which I can't take but meat was dry as a bone when you expect it to be tender and succulent from a tandoori so disappointed

Saturday afternoon about 3.30-4pm, Google says 'open'; shop closed and locked up. Wasted trip. Had to settle for new KFC round the corner.

Over priced modern furniture. Great for retirement and care home type furniture. What let's this store down is the staff aptitude. The store closed at 5pm, which is fine, a little unexpected on a Saturday, however actually turning the lights off and saying the staff have gone home at 5pm sharp, I mean to the second is an odd reflection on their management there. All customers actually escorted from the building and told we are open tomorrow. I mean WOW. Just imagine the level of support you might get if you actually buy something there and need help with it. All the good reviews were probably customers who were shopping during the day while the staff had to do their job! This is just our personal experience.

I have never had a curry that had no spices and tasted of perhaps just British gravy. After asking for a replacement, about 8 minutes later the same food arrived. 5 stars for replacing it. But it was the same. Phoned. Guy argued with me telling me it was great and fine and he'd checked it and it was chicken dopiaza. He took enormous offence at my attempt to describe the taste as chicken stuffing gravy. Swore at me several times on the phone. Told me my taste buds are wrong. Never had a curry without curry before. Will never go back. Have gone many many times before and thought it was great. Sad moment.

An excellent coffee served by a great team. Dog friendly too 🐕💕

Popped in mid morning for a coffee, ended up with a delicious almond croissant to go with a latte! Really nice place to drop into, lots of delicious food and snacks to tempt you. Friendly staff, well decorated, clean and a nice ambience. Will drop in again.

Stayed in Ferndown for a weekend and used this place twice for dinner. Delicious pizza and good quality chips. They delivered really quickly (faster than the estimate) and the delivery driver was very polite, service with a smile is always welcome. Would highly recommend.

It could do with the chips being cooked a bit more ordered some on19th dec 2024 and chips were still a bit hard

Ordered through just eat didn't deliver my food claimed my nwhbior shot them with a air rife 😂😂 never gonna order again what a joke

2 stars just for the nice guy that served me as its a new business and could tell he was trying hard but the portions are small, the price doesn't reflect this. The vegetarian sausage was so disgusting I took one bite and put it in the bin, tasted like cat food! Not a good experience unfortunately which is a shame.

Delicious food, Lovely family with great service Highly recommended
