The Monmouth Ash - East Dorset

We used to frequent this restaurant for our Sunday lunches as our son lived nearby. However, on our recent visit with the family to celebrate his new home, we were disappointed by the quality of the children's meals. The sausages were overcooked and hard, likely reheated in the microwave. When we brought this to the waitress's attention, there was no apology, just a dismissive response. The macaroni cheese was also subpar, clearly microwaved and burnt around the edges. Serving children meals that are poorly reheated is unacceptable, especially considering the prices. We will not be returning to this restaurant until they improve their food quality. There are plenty of better options in the area.

Visited last night for a get together for my friend’s upcoming 50th….. food was very nice, particularly lovely garlic bread! The staff were efficient, polite, lovely service. Will revisit. Thank you

Came here for some food and a few drinks while on a short break away for my wife’s birthday, lovely pub/restaurant, incredible staff and very good food. Definitely will return when we are back in the area, as pub owners we love places that make you feel at home and welcome and that wouldn’t be possible without the two members of staff here at the time of our visit. Both very friendly and engaging from start to finish! What a pleasure so thank you to Phillip for looking after us!

Nice pub, good menu and food is good. Service somewhat slow, but they did apologise. Staff very pleasant. Would recommend but be mindful if you have to be away quick

I have visited this restaurant a few times in the past and found the drinks to be just average. However, tonight I ordered a vodka and coke and it was the worst thing I have ever tasted.
