Thyme After Time - North Dorset

Such a fantastic local cafe. I come here when I am rather hungover and am in need of a good pick me up. I usually take away for obvious reasons. This little cafe caters to my needs every single time. Fantastic bacon egg butty...and even better hot chocolates. My boyfriend once told me this place was overrated. It's safe to say he is no longer my boyfriend anymore with daftly opinions like that. 10/10 would bacon butty again.

I LOVE THIS CAFE!!!! I have written reviews for Thyme after time before,and with the restrictions lifted i was able to see my family who live near the cafe. I live in Essex....so 150 miles away Margot (Granny) had been warned i was coming,i like...to give her grief. Eve (Queen) was in kitchen with granny and the place was very busy,they had a outside catering job (260 heads) and were doing the food to serve. Saying that....the service was as fast and efficient as it ALWAYS has been. With all the pandemic chucked at them,they changed and adapted to keep the business going,and now thankfully they are getting bookings again for outside jobs and evenings,aswell as normal opening thymes. As they were soooo busy Granny was not able to come out for a catch up....or smack me around head for doing my best to wind her up....lol My sister,brother in law and i ordered from menu and food was cooked as nicely as it has always been. Quality local produce,and supporting other local companies in area. I really LOVE my visits to this amazing little place.......and so glad they got over the hard times covid gave to catering. If you are in the area,do not think shall we go in....DO IT.....It is worth it every Thyme.

Lucky break, after our first choice was closed, followed satnav to another cafe whilst in our way to Devon in July, spotted the signs for this cafe and so glad we did. What a warm and safe welcome from the staff, cosy atmosphere and breakfasts...that can’t be faulted. Returned again today and glad to say that nothing has changed, food and service are still exceptional and priced fairly. Worth a detour if you’re travelling on the A30/303, you won’t regret it.

Drove out to Spire Hill Farm, approx 2 miles out of Stalbridge towards Sturminster Newton. Booked in advance for afternoon tea to avoid disapointment. Covid procedures in place with screens between each table, staff wearing masks and sanitiser at the door. Had an amazing afternoon...tea today with some lovely additional touches of fresh strawberries, raspberries and blackcurrents on the plate surrounding the cream tea. A three tiered stand arrived with sandwiches on the top level, cream tea in the middle with homemade scones and luxurious mini cakes on the bottom tier. It was highly indulgent and tasted fabulous a real treat for my friend and I. The tea tasted lovely too, good strong flavour and the pot was large and replenished as required. Staff were charming and attentive. A really decadent treat and we loved it, just what we needed and guaranteed to cheer you up. Thank you for making our visit so special. Doggy bag required!! See you again x

Three of us came here for lunch yesterday, we sat outside in a very well organised seating area. The food was, as ever, delicious and every aspect of dealing with the covid virus had been thought of and dealt with appropriately. The staff anre wonderfully...friendly and nothing is too much trouble, always worth a visit, brilliant. The menu was on a large chalk board so no need for anyone to touch and easy for all to read.
