This place is fun…...............Clean bright, modern and the staff are very efficient.

There is a list of various dishes - fried, steamed, rice etc. All you have to do is tick the box beside your choice and before you know it you are set upon by various staff piling your table with lots of amazing plates of food, dipping sauces, pancakes, wine, water…........... and as quickly as it came the empties are cleared away to make room for the next surge of food.

In the main area of the restaurant there are big round turning tables, ideal for a larger group of friends who wish to share dishes.

I came away feeling very full and the meal was really quite inexpensive. £50 for two of us which included wine and water.

This is the hotel which I usually stay at when visiting Dresden. Its clean, bright and has friendly staff that speak good English.

For around €109 you get a fantastic choice at breakfast and in the adjoining hotel you are allowed access to a funky bar, restaurant and swimming pool.

Its not quiet in the centre of Dresden, although only a short taxi ride, but if you are brave enough to walk the streets, ( it feels very safe) you will find many lovely little bars and restaurants locally.

What can I say…............traditional English curry house this is not.

It follows the high standards of its sister restaurant next door with white bright table cloths and a bright modern interior.

No more sitting on a seat in a pale skirt only to find an unmovable yellow blob on it the next morning. This is chic for Yeovil with its locally made leather seated chairs and mirrored walls.

I have to say that I am being quickly converted from the girl who just has Indian because her partner likes it, to suggesting the restaurant myself.

Top tip is to ask the waiter what he recommends. This is food from the more traditional Northern and Southern areas of India and the waiters just love to suggest different things to try. They get quite excited. Mmnn. This place does traditional dessert too…...

Would give a 5 star but I feel there are still a couple of teething problems. I will have another meal soon and maybe upgrade them then.

*I’ve just been there again and now upgrading this place to a 5 star - Its a must if you love your spices…......

Favorites include, Nanna sa Dosa, Fish Onion Roast, Kadai Ghost and my partner loves Gulab Jamun. Takeaways now take hours to choose now too…........

This is a village pub that has been waiting for the right person to come along and run it for a long time. Partly thatched building with fireplaces and loads of character, stunning views, a great outdoor area. But for years it withered on in an unloved way attempting to do all the usual things a country pub does but never really making the first grade.

FINALLY! Last year it got a complete makeover and a new landlady who may I add is an amazing chef.

If you are working class or Lord of the Manor you will be made welcome and feel comfortable here. There are fine ales, home made nibbles at the bar and the choice of either a lighter snack of a proper full on menu which I guarantee will not let you down. The price is reasonable and the menu changed every day.

Sundays there is a special deal - £9.99 for 2 courses and 12.99 for 3. Well worth it!

As I said, this is a place for all, so don’t be surprised if you have dogs running in and out or children playing in the garden while the adults sip away at their Rose on ice or crunch away on Pork crackling left over from lunch.

This place is tucked away in the quiet village of Oborne just outside of Sherborne.

I haven’t done an evening meal here although I have heard that it’s very good.

As the main focus for the place is the evening meal and accommodation, the lunch menu is usually quite light, smoked salmon, pâté, that sort of thing. The desserts however are to die for, home made meringues, strawberries, cream and many other nice things.

I would say that lunch is quite expensive for the small amount you get but I think this place attracts more of the 'ladies who lunch’ brigade. I bought my parents here and they loved it.

Dinner I think is very different and the prices are in the region of £25-£35 per head plus wine. I’ll try it out and let you know….........

I also came to a wedding reception here a couple of years ago under the same management and they laid on the most wonderful hog roast buffet. The bride and groom couldn’t have been happier with the venue.

Stuck in the middle of a small village, this recently renovated pub has a fresh modern feel about it whilst retaining its earthy muddy boot feeling.

Fantastic fancy pub food at a very reasonable price.

In the winter it has open fires and mould wine on the bar and in the summer, Pimms and pork pies…..........

There is a separate more formal restaurant or if you prefer you can eat in the equally comfortable bar area.

This place also has a handful of simply decorated guest rooms which have been kitted out to the highest standard. My partner and I live fairly locally but we experienced the B&B side in its sister pub a few miles away and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Whether it’s a morning coffee and a paper for an excuse to get out the house or a slap up meal on a special occasion, this place can cater for all.

As mentioned, it has a sister pub owned by the same family and renovated to the same standard in another village called Buckhorn Weston which I have written a very similar reveiw about.
