Shall we do Ollie’s for brekkie?

One of the best places to have breakfast on a Sunday morning is Oliver’s Coffee House.  There is a long wooden table in the front, with smaller tables towards the back.  It has it’s original art deco decoration although the building has stood for much longer.

Often on a Sunday, the local cycle club meet there for refreshment and rest before continuing with their rides.  It’s great to see all the bikes parked up outside.

Sat at the long table with a bacon sandwich, pot of tea, Sunday newspapers and a loved one is just perfect!  We could sit there for hours, just watching the world go by.

Thank you Oliver’s Coffee House, see you soon!

A rainy Sunday morning

Sherborne even looks beautiful in the rain.  We walked past The Green Restaurant, in full bloom on the way to breakfast one Sunday morning in the rain and it just caught our eye.   Stunning!

Lunchtime……We never knew this was here…..

13th June 2015 After a night out, the best thing to help get over it is lunch out with a loved one.  We decided to go to The Three Wishes in Cheap Street, a great place for tea, coffee and cake or lunch which we have been to a few times.  As it was a nice day we followed the signs to the garden. To our surprise the garden was a very sunny court yard, surrounded by all the old buildings that lined Cheap Street, with large benches for groups of people to sit, relax, refuel and catch up.  It was lovely and quiet, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Sherborne high street. Oh…. the food was good as always! Thank you The Three Wishes.

It’s Wine O’Clock!

Friday 12th June 2015

What a fab night….. Hannah Wilkins, the owner of Vineyards wine Shop in Sherborne has been open for 10 years and celebrated with a wine tasting evening.  All her local suppliers were there, allowing us to samples some of their amazing products, with food being supplied by the Bakery Cafe….. All for free!

The products, along with red, white and rosé wines, included a copper pot distilled Dorset gin, vodka made from milk (yes, I dd say milk!), different flavoured nuts and of course Champagne and Prosecco.  To help us decide our favourite wines, we scored the ones we tried.  Personally, I loved the local Sherborne Estate Wines and the amazing ‘Gioi Extra Dry Prosecco, Italy’ from Vintage Roots (Emmanuel Byilingiro).

Happy Birthday Vineyards….!!
