The Pantry - Carte

We visit The Pantry regularly and can thoroughly recommend it staff are very helpful and go out of their way to give friendly, efficient service. Love the new chairs upstairs!

Visited here for a sandwich and a cake with our dog. Good selection of food and home made cakes. Staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly. A brilliant little cafe with extra seating upstairs. Highly recommended.

Popped in for lunch. Staff are very professional and cheery and very helpful nothing was to much trouble. Mrs had ploughman’s with a twist all very nice and a good serving, I chose goats cheese and beetroot toast dismantled and it was lush. Voir le carte

I had a chicken and mushroom pie, it was big and full of chicken, veg was lovely couldn't fault the food. My wife had a vegetarian option and she also said that it was delicious. Coffee is the best I've tasted in a long while, staff are very pleasant and welcoming spoke to us and made us very welcome. Will definitely go back.

I Vist Dorchester and it's cafes regularly'I do not have a Large appetite at all, I ordered a slice of cherry and almond cake and it was the smallest slither, worth Half the price.Other thing I would say is the upstairs seating area is not equipped or fresh enough to use as a seating area, feels like a storage room being used for overflow business.I would like to compliment the young girl who works here she very friendly and lovely.

Covid measures are hit and miss. Female staff are much better at following them than the male staff. Track and trace details are taken but weren’t previously. Details though can be overheard by other customers and are left so they can be viewed by all. Felt uncomfortable around the entrance area as too busy and too much happening here. Friendly staff. Cakes look tempting but found to be dry. Menu sadly limited due to Covid. As a result a fairly average menu so good for a quick sandwich or jacket potato. Voir le carte

Only my second visit to Dorchester in ten years and you can see a change due to Covid. However, as you might expect a number of eateries/cafes are still open but how many were welcoming? Well as it happens very few until I discovered The Pantry. I felt very at ease even with restrictions and even though hot food had been finished for the day they said they would serve us. Simple food is sometimes the best so a jacket potato with a lovely side salad and homemade soup and a brie and cranberry toasty, was perfect!

Went here today with my son after realising munchkins is now closed. Never even knew it was there and was trying to just quickly find somewhere. just have to say that they were amazing.let us sit upstairs because my son wanted to even though it was closed. Made a lovely lunch for him that wasn't on the menu. and i had a great lunch too.even brought him some colours and books over. Even got him some crisps when they noticed he wanted some of mine. Great value for money too. Thankyou for the effort and will definitely visit again. Very friendly and welcoming.

Today, while traveling from Wiltshire to Weymouth, our car broke down near Dorchester. After waiting nearly 2 hours for assistance, we were taken to a garage in Dorchester with 2 adults and 2 grumpy children in tow who were eager to be at the beach. With time to spare while our car was being repaired, we stumbled upon the Pantry and enjoyed a fantastic lunch. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the owners were wonderful, showing sympathy towards our tired children by even giving them ice cream to cheer them up as we left. Thank you for brightening our challenging day! We will definitely be back and highly recommend this lovely café. Voir le carte
