We had a lovely time with the kittens, they are so cute! The staff were very kind and helpful. The hot chocolate was delicious! There was a colouring-in area where children can draw a picture of the cats and they put them on the wall which is really nice to see. We will definitely be back for another visit soon!
Tabby Terrace – DorchesterLovely eve, great service and very tasty xx
Bodega – ChristchurchGreeted as soon as we came through the door. Customer service from start to finish was excellent. Food was superb. It is now under new management but never had a bad experience beforehand.
Ming Wah Restaurant – WeymouthI booked a our table 3/11 for 7.30 on 6/12 Sadly we never got our table as despite me calling to check that the amended table time ( as my auto confirm email showed the wrong agreed time) earlier in the day, upon arrival we were asked to come back at least 30 mins later as their booking system had over booked and they didn’t have a table free. Even then there would be no guarantee we would get a table as they had a large booking in. ( incidentally it was a group of people I work with so a little embarrassing to be turned away). It would have been nice to have been informed beforehand - perhaps a text or an email .. as we left the nice warm pub in terrible weather to get to our booking. .. so we left and luckily found another place to eat . Sadly I won’t be rushing back as even with a booking gives no guarantee of a table.
Bodega – ChristchurchJust the best roast on a Sunday, and always a great atmosphere!
The Thomas Tripp – ChristchurchBest pub, staff, atmosphere and food in Christchurch,
The Thomas Tripp – ChristchurchWhat can i say, what an amazing experience.. The kittens are so sweet, very playful and happy with visitors. Hot chocolate is amazing. Staff are lovely. Our 2nd visit and not last.
Tabby Terrace – DorchesterWe did the bottomless brunch, great value for money food and cocktails amazing! Staff were fantastic too!
Bodega – ChristchurchMum had a lovely time with the cats. The staff are very welcoming. The three of us had food, delicious, hot and plenty of it. A new business which offers a lot of pleasure if you love cats. The set up and care for the cats is obvious, well done team, there was a need for this .
Tabby Terrace – DorchesterWe booked a table for 4 for 8.30pm on Friday 22 Nov to see Peter Cooley play. We let a barman know we'd arrived and went to the table, as he said someone would be over for our order. To be fair, it was very busy but by 8.45 no-one had, so I went to order at the bar to be told the chef had shut the kitchen. I was furious. BUT, an amazing female member of staff took it upon herself to speak to the chef and he agreed to re-open the kitchen. Top marks to both of them - the food was great and we had a great evening - and the pub got over £100 of business from us. It just shows what a huge difference it makes to have staff who not only care but are empowered to make their own decisions.
The Thomas Tripp – ChristchurchAlways a delicious carvery, not the cheapest but with a good selection of meats and hot fresh vegetables it is worth paying a little extra. Also, the staff are helpful and polite.
The Gallery Restaurant at the Hotel Rembrandt – WeymouthStaff were brilliant, great atmosphere, food awesome and live music. Great Sunday!
The Thomas Tripp – ChristchurchVisited with my two daughters in law and eleven year old cat loving granddaughter. It was our first experience of Tabby Terrace and absolutely loved it. Enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and gently stroking the beautiful tabby cats. The cakes were delicious with welcome warm drinks. Overall it was good value so would definitely recommend and will certainly be going back!
Tabby Terrace – DorchesterGreat atmosphere , slight problem with our order, all came out wrong and various times. However the staff were extremely apologetic ,and e enjoyed our food in the end.
The Thomas Tripp – ChristchurchDifficulty getting the attention of the servers but other than that the food was superb
The Gallery Restaurant at the Hotel Rembrandt – WeymouthThis is a business with great potential that needs more time to establish itself. Polite and friendly staff. However, they offer a limited menu and it's quite expensive for what you get. Interior design feels like it is still 'under construction', only 3 cats available to interact with when we went, and no cutlery or napkins until I asked for them. Food took a while to arrive and dishes didn't appear at the same time. Pesto pasta was unpleasant. My kids loved the cats and being able to play with them and stroke them but no available colouring activities for younger children which are usually offered.
Tabby Terrace – DorchesterFood was great, wine choices excellent, perhaps a little pricey. The music was a tad too loud but hey, other than that an excellent night out. If you've not been, go!
