Upwey Wishing Well

Love the garden. The food and the staff are great. Thank you

Fab roasts and very welcoming, nice to walk around gardens toi. Kids loved it x

A lovely little restaurant food and service excellent I would recommend.

Lovely roast dinner and good service. Good menu also for vegetarians.

Always enjoy being at the Wishing Well but we were disappointed that the roast chicken had all gone and there was no vegetarian option with the roast dinners. We had understood that that would be the case and was what we were really looking forward to. So we had to create a "roast" from one of the other options ( ie with potatoes and veg) but to be honest I would have expected a vegetarian alternative to the roast beef on offer. Puddings were delicious.

We have eaten at the Wishing Well before and our return visit to celebrate my mother's birthday didn't disappoint. There was an excellent choice of food including for vegetarians. The staff are always pleasant and attentive.

Thank you to all at Upwey Wishing Well. We had a wonderful time celebrating 155 years of life between the three of us. The afternoon tea was absolutely amazing and we enjoyed every mouthful. I am still glad we didn’t go for the ice and lemon option in our tea!! Lol. We had a wonderful catch up and will definitely be back. The staff were attentive, the table Looked beautiful and we laughed a lot. Who could ask for more.

A very pleasant visit - mind you there weren't many people there. I shall go again

Staff were excellent & very helpful , we weren’t ignored for long lengths of time like some restaurants , only comment would be it would of been nice to have a dish of peas ,cabbage, sprout or beans

Absolutely gorgeous lunch, beautiful gardens and lovely staff. Thank you for making my mums birthday extra special

Good value, lovely food and surroundings. We all enjoyed a lot.

The food was really good, and the service was very nice too. The gardens were beautiful and an amazing setting. All in all it was wonderful and we will be going back!

Food was good on the whole but one small complaint . I had a jacket potato and would have liked it to have been hotter, It was barely warm and the skin was tough to eat. my sister and brother in law, who are fussy eaters ( my brother in law is a chef ) enjoyed their meal of ploughman's and Queen of quiche. Will visit again.

Lovely afternoon tea. Generous portions. I would tell people to book as very busy. Gardens absolutely beautiful. Manageable size for older visitors. Would highly recommend.

Really nice varied menu & specials, Beautiful setting & very friendly and efficient staff. Will definitely be recommending & visiting again 😀

A lovely time celebrating dad's 82nd birthday. The cream tea was delicious. We sat outside in the beautiful garden. Staff were also fantastic.

We really enjoyed our visit and the food was lovely. A little noisy in there due to the low ceiling.

A lovely cream tea and speedy service despite many customers.

A lovely lunch with attentive staff. Will go again soon.

Great atmosphere and good customer service, great choice of food of excellent quality, Would certainly come again and recommend to others.

Lovely salmon and cream cheese sandwich, but wasn’t keen on the Dorset apple cake way to much cinnamon and it had mixed fruit in it ! Couldn’t taste any of the apple, will have something different next time , it’s a shame but I don’t recommend the apple cake .

Very good menu we were spoilt for choice food very enjoyable staff very attentive and helpful looking forward to going a second time

The staff coped very well with people joining at different times and made sure that everyone had the correct food etc

Great cake and lovely gardens. we will be back soon.

They reserved a great table for us. The service and food superb. They made my 76 birthday really special.

My first visit and thoroughly enjoyed my lunch also the walk through the gardens

Great food, atmosphere, a real homely feel to this place. Will definitely be back some time to enjoy daily special.

Service good, varied choice on the menu and beautiful gardens. It takes dogs and also seating outside.

A very enjoyable birthday celebration with excellent food. Thank you.

It was very busy when we arrived and the noise volume was very high, to the point I wished we had asked to eat outside. The service was a little slow and one of the items was left off the order. The food was excellent so were the surroundings, definitely recommend a visit but perhaps after the lunchtime rush.

Wonderful visit. Great to see it so busy and the staff coped really well despite being short staffed. Food was great and plentiful and the setting is always a treat.

Great service and food in a traditional tea room. Book ahead as can get busy.

We love the Upwey Wishing Well but haven't visited for a while. The booking system worked well and the service and atmosphere were good. Unfortunately, having chosen from the Special's Board, we were disappointed with the quality of the food on 2 of the 3 dishes we chose. Perhaps they were having a bad day in the kitchen. The cakes looked amazing so we may go back for afternoon tea next time.

An excellent experience and will certainly return when next visiting Upwey.

Absolutely brilliant. Great service, food and location. Will visit again.

We had lunch in the garden. Food was lovely and the gardens were so peaceful. We loved it.

Myself and a friend had not been since I lost my husband. He was in a wheelchair towards the end and we could not visit as the garden is not wheelchair friendly, but my husband and I visited frequently and have photos our ourselves standing by the well area. It is a lovely friendly restaurant, and has changed hands since we last visited. The people are more friendly than the previous owners.

Always lovely, yummy food even for vegan me, great team at the well plus the gorgeous gardens. Thank you so much

Lovely welcome, food excellent with good range of options. Great atmosphere, staff efficient and friendly. Very enjoyable lunch.

Absolutely fabulous , treated my special friend as he'd never been , the food was quite a wait but it was difinetely worth it , fresh tasty delicious and the cakes were to die for absolutely gorgeous , then we walked around the stunning gardens so tranquil so beautiful all in all a great visit , highly recommended will definitely be back .

Lovely freshly cooked food, in a fantastic setting. Will return

Haven't been here for a while; was celebrating our wedding anniversary. Had traditional roast dinner (beef & all trimmings) - was delicious. Have to say, this is the only place where you are given extra gravy (in a boat) and not a mini jug without asking. Staff were very pleasant. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the walk around the gardens afterwards. Thanks Upwey.

We've been for lunches several times and always enjoyed them, but yesterday's was not as good, service was slow, we waited over 20 minutes just for drinks, when the food arrived, some of the meat was quite tough, the Yorkshire puddings over cooked, my stepmum couldn't eat hers. Then the desert came out wrong, I did speak to a member of staff when paying, but she didn't have much to say about it!!

Had a lovely chicken meal and a mushroom pie .pudding to die for Dorset apple cake and clotted cream .lovely gardens on a lovely day .Will be back next for a cream tea

Lovely 😊 I took my mum for brunch and then we went rogue with extra cake and more drinks. As a local we’ve been before but that’s testament to this being a great place to eat/visit. Food always lovely and gardens still as pretty as before. Spent a good couple of hours here chilling and catching up

Friendly service and an excellent service, we will certainly be returning.

Delicious food,very good menu, caters for all dietary requirements, and beautifully presented ,lovely ambiance and so nice to be able to walk round the gardens afterwards

Thankyou, lovely meal, super cook. Easy to book and quick confirmation. Definitely repeat the experience, my guest too will come again. I have been several times and celebrated a birthday at the wishing well.

Good food and service in a very pleasant atmosphere. Prices reasonable, choice reasonable. No signal inside but is outside. Parking could be an issue but we were fine.

Great time, lovely food and nice atmosphere. Heating could be improved though but otherwise we will be back again. Can’t think of anything else to say !!
