Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

There were 4 of us, and we agreed that the entire meal was one of the very best we had ever had. Excellent and friendly staff served outstanding food and wines. £36 for 3 courses was a steal for food of the highest quality.

A lovely atmosphere, excellent food and friendly efficient service. The restaurant offers group and smaller tables without being cramped or crowded. Staff are welcoming and attentive without being intrusive. The menu offers a number of delicious options to suit most pallets. The crab brulee starter...was excellent as were the lamb and guinea fowl. Highly recommended.More

We all enjoyed the food - my brother had the pork terrine from a nearby supplier, which he enjoyed very much. I had the Dorset Crème Brûlée. It came with a crab and Parmesan twist and the whole dish was absolutely fabulous. Full of crab...flavour, and very fresh. For main, we all had stuffed guinea fowl, which was equally good. The flavours of the vegetables were well matched with the chicken. I had cheese for my dessert, a healthy portion that I couldn’t finish. My brother had the crime brûlée and my sister-in-law had the Mille Feuille. They both thought they were delicious. All in all, the food was excellent. The servers were friendly and knowledgeable and made us feel very welcome. If I lived in Dorset, I’d go back often.More

Another excellent meal at The Green, this time with family. Couldn't fault the cooking, the service or the ambience. Highlights were the scallops and the duck breast - melt in mouth

We visited for a special birthday lunch and the meal could not have been better. First impressions were great as the staff had our beautiful table in the window and a bottle of champagne ready for our arrival - and the restaurant walls are decorated...with interesting artwork. The six of us each had 3 courses and all the food was outstanding. Beautifully presented, interesting dishes and all delicious. The duck main and passion fruit crème brûlée were particular favourites. The service was faultless - professional and prompt, yet friendly and relaxed. The Green is excellent value for money and we would strongly recommend.More

After hearing lots of great things about this place, I must admit I was vastly dissatisfied. We walk in, get sat a table. Great! First thing I notice is a plug completely exposed. Then the kitchen and the waitress had no idea how to deal...with a sulphite allergy which one member has and asked her what she could eat! Then when food came out which the 'chef' said was ok for her to eat, she had a reaction to it. we witness them turn down a table of 2 at 8pm when there was plenty of tables unreserved. The tables aren't in great condition, very worn out. Even the chair I was sat in was warping, felt unsafe. Food was ok, not great. Rather go elsewhere in the future. Not visiting again. Glad I couldn't get a booking prehand.More

The most amazing food we have tried. The service was top notch. 3 mouth watering courses with amazing flavors that just got better with every mouthful. Our friend required gluten free options, this was catered for so well. Even a sticky toffee pudding, which she...was amazed by. Everything was perfect.More

This is a very good restaurant, serving 3 courses for £35. The quality was high end and the wine list is good for the more discerning visitor. Staff were friendly without being overbearing. Service was uncomplicated and efficient. Starters were Crab Creme Brulee (bit different...take on crab) which was delicious and Pork cheek terrine followed by succulent chicken and a lamb dish, both very tasty. Dessert was a fab sticky toffee and ginger pudding....... Highly recommend this for a nice dinner out in the gordeous town of Sherborne. Recommend one books ahead to ensure a table is available. Very easy to email them and book. Replied to me very quickly.More
