Dorchester Experience Days

Lovely day and the staff were very knowledgeable. Great fun to be able to spent a lot of time interacting with the pigs. Would definitely recommend.

Great afternoon spent at the Brewhouse & Kitchen - Poole on a beer masterclass for my birthday. 8 beers / lagers including a German smoked beer, a tour of the microbrewery, a fully informative session and a tasty burger meal to soak up the alcohol! Highly recommended. Thank you Sophie & Ewan for a memorable afternoon.

On a very hot day we spent a relaxing couple of hours wandering around the lovely gardens at Barnsdale. We were able to sit in a shady spot in the garden to eat our delicious afternoon tea. It was a most enjoyable visit.

Our host in the Highbury Brewhouse and Kitchen was Moses - very welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. After a brief overview of the brewing process (many of the beers being brewed on-site), we sat down to 5 pairings of whisky shots and half-pint beers, ranging from pale ales, blondes, stouts, single/blended Scotch, Irish, Bourbon and Japanese. With a very good memory, Moses was able to talk us through the brewing process for each, the history and the reasoning for pairing them together (something you may not normally do). There was just the two of us on this experience, so he was able to give us his full attention for the duration. There was an optional tasting sheet to fill in (we decided to enjoy the experience without documenting!) but much discussion with Moses along the way. Following this, we had a decent quality burger and chips from the menu. Excellent value for money, and a well run event. Big thanks to Moses!

Luca, our host, was very friendly and knowledgeable. We were given 6 different rums of varying flavour and went through the tasting notes. An interesting and different experience for the weekend.

Fantastic afternoon tea at Oakley Hall Hotel. Beautiful surroundings, friendly and helpful staff. Great with all dietary requirements.

Really enjoyed the only fools & horses tour today. Tour guide Andy was great & gave us plenty of excellent photo opportunities. Excellent value for money and would highly recommend
