Eat Me

No. 6 is a very pleasant restaurant in the heart of Dorchester run by Christian Lohez and his wife Sylwia. They do an excellent job of greeting guests on arrival, their staff are both pleasant and well trained and the food is quite excellent.

I can whole heartedly recommend the fillet steak, I like mine medium rare and it was done to perfection. I couldn’t let me wife eat all the Creme Brulee that she ordered as my first taste so excited my taste buds that I stole the remainder from her!

In the summer there’s outside dining but in the colder months it’s restricted to the cosy and friendly inside area. Call and book as it’s a popular place for a good reason!

Moreton Tearooms

Moreton Tearooms is a very good place to visit, you can tell that when you drive the half a mile road aproach to the Old School House in Moreton underneath a canopy of trees that eventually opens out onto a very quaint and extrmely Dorset styled 3-way crossroads. The pretty and very inviting building on the left is the Old School House and it’s a joy to enter.

Once inside you can see old pictures of past school classes and read about Lawrene of Arabia in a room that they have dedicated to him.

The menu is also full of information but the food is worth the trip from Dorchester too, make sure that you keep an eye on the Specials Board, you don’t want to miss out on anything!

The tastefully decorated interior gives off  a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere and on fine days there is the old school yard, now a well laid out garden to sit in too.

Tables are waited on and the food is of a very high standard, if you want to learn more about them you can visit their website here.

Nappers Mite

Nappers Mite is a little gem if you manage to find it, at the lower, south end of the main pedestrian shopping street, it hides away in 4 sections. two inside, a central section in a covered courtyard and a very pleasant garden out back.

The small restaurant/wine bar is excellent for morning coffees right through to full lunches. If you haven’t got time for long stay then trying the Hot Chocolate with Whippy Cream and a Flake is an absolute must.

Whilst there have a read of the back of their menu’s to get an insite into the buildings 400 year history, it’s very impressive and evidence of it’s former life and builders are all around you.
