The Horse With The Red Umbrella

Last week I was wandering around Dorchester with my dog "biscuit" looking for a dog friendly place I could get a cup of tea and a snack while my car was being serviced. The lady's in this establishment are absolutely brilliant, so friendly, and couldn't do enough for the dog. An added bonus is that a pot of tea and a toasted tea cake were really reasonably priced. I will definitely be back, with or without "biscuit" thank you ladies.

What a wonderful find, we only happened upon the cafe by chance. The staff were warm and welcoming. Or food was of high quality and extremely delicious. We are aiming to go back soon and we would most definitely eat here again. There were also lots of homemade cakes, none of which we had however it looked like you may not stop at one (Even though you should). Thank you so much for your hospitality.

We always make a beeline for this place when we are in Dorchester, I first visited about twenty years ago and it has barely changed (in a good way!). The host is an absolute gent, one of the last of the old school where the customer is made to feel like the star and you can tell the business is his passion. The cakes are reasonably priced and the food is excellent, we're just sorry to live so far away that we can't visit more often! We look forward to seeing visiting again, whenever that may be 🙂

Excellent cafe/tea-room in the historic town of Dorchester. Breakfast, as it should be, served all day. Reasonably priced. You can choose your own combination or go for one of their specials. Various light lunches are available also, a nice selection of cakes to choose from for afternoon tea. We really enjoyed our breakfasts with hot mugs of good coffee. I might have preferred to have a more meaty sausage. As we were so well looked after by a lovely pair of such lovely young ladies, I couldn't complain about a thing.
