There is a lovely restaurant called The Walled Garden in the Castle Gardens garden centre. In the…read moreold gardeners' bothy, there are atmospheric old rooms with stone-flagged floors, a sunny conservatory and tables outside in the garden. The waiters and waitresses couldn't be more helpful and friendly and the kitchen will adapt the menu on request - mashed potatoes instead of new or special off-menu food for toddlers. The food is always good and plentiful; one main course will serve for two not-very-hungry people and the desserts are well worth keeping space for. Access is level and easy, making it a top spot for treating grannies and granddads, but there is also room to move about, so that it is child friendly too. On the downside, service is generally slow, so, if you're taking toddlers, take a snack and a couple of toys!

All the dishes sounded delicious and the three of us were all delighted with our choices. The celeriac velouté is stunning and the pot roast chicken and John Dory drew appreciative 'mmmmm's' mouthful after mouthful. At £20 for 2 courses with a very acceptable glass of house wine - this is incredible value given the quality of food. Service is efficient and good-humoured and I'm already planning my next visit.

We were in Sherborne visiting friends and they suggested we go to the popular local Indian…read morerestaurant called Rajpoot. My friends assured me the food there was excellent and even better than what we were used to in London. Big claims which I thought would be unfounded but I was wrong. We were greeted by smiles from waiters who engaged our group in conversation making us feel comfortable. I must say that the waiting staff were great; attentive and friendly. I am partial to Lamb and seldom find restaurants do it justice. However, I was pleasantly surprised when my Lamb Shorisha and my partner's Modhupuri came as they were just superb. Our friends let us know that the owner had personally cooked our meals as he was in that night. Our friends are regulars here and have a good relationship with the staff who always ensure that a great night is had. We received a round of complimentary drinks which we thought was a nice touch at the end of the meal. Our overall experience was wonderful, much better than I had expected. The Rajpoot is now a regular feature whenever we come to Sherborne.

Although the restaurant looks comfortable, I did not feel at ease as I usually like waiters being around and being helpful but in Paprika it felt as though they were trying to speed us through our meal. Not deliberately rude but disinterested until they could see you were near the end of the meal when they'd ask several times should they take our plates away. The food was not great, the meat was tough and lacked any moisture. The sauce was very thick and very different to what I was expecting. Either a restaurant is good or bad, I don't sit on the fence. It's either someone I want to and look forward to going to or one I will avoid. This falls into the latter category. The very low marks come due to the hygiene, dirty uncleaned cutlery with dried food on which we had to get replaced followed by glasses which had lip marks on it. No apology just a shrug and ok, it happens (well, I would hope not!) I would think they take things like this more seriously but management just seem apathetic By all means, worth a try if you are curious but any expectations of a decent meal should be left at home. Try, forget and avoid was what I was told beforehand and now I am just another advocate.

Cheese that purported to be from a local farm resembled the mark-down section of Lidl, whilst the salad items they insisted on decorating this dish with included tinned sweetcorn, flacid leaves and pre-chopped peppers left over from c1969 Bejams frozen foods. Branston pickle and a white roll that even Greggs would throw out, topped off this diabolical mess. So much for supporting local farmers and fresh produce. Seriously, what is wrong with people?

Plus, despite the busy buzz, there was a choice of spaces to sit. The tea was generous a large pot for two (non of this tiny cup for a small fortune business).

The service was efficient, friendly and relaxed no feeling of having to leave as soon as we'd finished. I would recommend and return for sure. Thank you
