Hunter's Moon - Sherborne

We have visited the pub previously when on holiday, and had a fantastic meal. This time however we were really quite disappointed. The pub was quite busy as it was 'bike night ', we got some drinks and were shown to our table. The waitress who took our order was really friendly and helpful and was quick to take our order, she was attentive throughout the meal. The menu was slightly confusing with 2 different prices for every meal with no explanation as to why. We ordered starters and mains. The starters arrived after 30 minutes with an apology for the delay to to it being busy, which I understand can be a problem. The starters were appetising and we enjoyed them. We then waited another half an hour for the mains again I have no issue with the time having worked in the hospitality restaurant previously, I understand delays happen. My issue was that when the food finally arrived, it was quite underwhelming. My husband had ordered steak medium rare it was overcooked. Our meals although generous in portion size was luke warm which took away some of the enjoyment, but as we had waited so long, we ate it anyway. It was a real shame as our first visit as we were coming out of covid in July 2020 was excellent overall disappointing.

No one showed us to our prebooked table. they just pointed it out. Did request tabke by window (if possible) but was given one in the middle of the room. Food was not great. Pie meat very salty, veg dry and lacked flavour. My wife ordered chips but got mash. Had to stop the waitress to order refills of drinks. When we had finished our main course no one came to enquire if we wanted dessert, so we got menus ourselves but sfter waiting for over 10 minutes for service we gave up and just we to bar and paid the bill. Very disappointing. Won't be returning.

The food is always excellent lovely homemade pies great to have a choice of mash and new potatoes everybody seems to do only chips these days which doesnt always suit the meal lovely vegetables instead of everything with chips and salad. Lovely deserts. Good menu choice better than anywhere else I go. Good service. Nice atmosphere. Highly recommend. Best around and I happily travel to go there.

Not a local place for us but knew we would be driving past around Sunday lunch time . Greeted on arrival and drinks order taken very quickly . All opted for carvery and not disappointed . Meat lovely and tender beef slightly pink as I like it) so perfect, and a good generous portion Roasties fab, Overall a big well done , pity we don’t live closer ????????

We.had not been to the pub for a couple of years but enjoyed the food so much we will definitely be back soon! Service was excellent and the prices were very fair.
