Best KPortal Reviews
First visit to the Stour inn and first impressions very good, the guy behind the bar very nice and helpful, the pub is nice, real traditional feel. The drinks and food are a lot cheaper than the crown just down the road ! We both enjoyed our burgers and chips both delicious and would highly recommend. The only let down was the coleslaw, see photo, it was brown lettuce mixed with carrots, onion and salad cream , disgusting! I did speak to the very young waitress and she went off and spoke to chef and came back with a bowl of white cabbage coleslaw and said sorry, after we had finished are food. We expected the sorry but, come on front of house, the duty manager should have sorted this not a 15 year old and why serve second rate food anyway, we did say sent the chef out but clearly didn’t want to face us. We will come back because everything else was good .
If you stop anywhere in Blandford Forum for some food and a beer, make this your top choice. The staff were spot on, with the chef even greeting us and talking about food, they were great with the dog, who had the roam of the garden when no one was out there, the food was awesome, all cooked to order and made using locally sourced ingredients, lot of which which were made in house! Definitely give these guys a shout, you really won't regret it!
We’ve recently started visiting The Stour since it reopened and it’s a great little country pub.
We ate here this evening for the 1st time after hearing great things… the service was slow, as mentioned in previous reviews, and they clearly need more staff (not unusual in the hospitality sector right now) however the food was excellent, the wine was cold and the staff were polite and friendly.
Clearly the owners care about the business and customers, and the chef cooks to a high standard. The Asian pork belly was absolutely fantastic.
We can put up with slow service, thats relatively easy to put right, but where The Stour wins is the quality of the food. We’ll definitely be back again soon.
I can honestly say my partner and I have just had the best roast dinner we’ve ever had. Being vegetarian we don’t usually bother to go out for dinner in Dorset as we’re often given bland boiled veg. The chef, Adam, and staff at the Stour Inn went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we could possible want (crispy potatoes, garlic greens, cauliflower cheese, HUGE yorkshires…). Staff were so friendly and the pub has a wonderful atmosphere. We’ve already booked again for next weekend. Thank you!!
This Pub takes you back in time it's small Cosy and very welcoming.
The Menu is totally Gluten free which is amazing if you're a Coeliac. They have been very clever and made everything GF and so can cater for everyone without the worry of cross contamination. We went with friends and they have friends who are frequent diners. We will definitely go back as next time I'm ordering the Fish and Chips which is really difficult to buy battered if you're a Coeliac but no problem for this pub. Can't wait to return.
There are quite a few pubs in Blandford Forum the Stour is probably one of the better food focused pubs. It also stocks decent local beers. Each night the landlord has a different offer on the Wednesday night when we popped in for a drink, steak and wine deals featured, whilst on the Thursday night when we ate an excellent meal, all double G & Ts were £6.
The current landlord has absolutely transformed this pub . Friendly welcoming, service was amazing and the food was amazing highly recommend a visit
Literally the most dire food I have ever tasted. The steak was ridiculously chewy, rocket unwashed and fried fish tasted frozen. Either the people leaving good reviews have absolutely zero food standards or they're fake reviews. The waitress was miserable and nearly turned away our custom upon arriving. Would unfortunately not recommend this place for food. At all.
