Upwey Wishing Well

The worst homemade cake that I have ever had there!! Bakewell Tart. Dry filling and brittle pastry!! Usually everything is excellent and above expectations!! Sorry Wishing Well for these comments!!

Had a lovely visit was easy to book online with a little walk around the gardens for the kids

We booked early for Sunday roast. The Veggie option was a really tasty souped up version and was lovely and moist. The pork was soft and tender as was the beef. The accompaniments were very tasty including the tender creamy parsnips. The red cabbage was a revelation with sultanas (not one to be seen) and the endless gravy was very welcome by our veggie partner, who drinks it like soup. Gravy was veggie and meat gravy was also available. Overall a very delicious meal, worth every penny, in beautiful surroundings. We even took a bottle of wine into the gardens for a post lunch drink.

We often go to the Wishing Well. Staff are all very friendly, helpful and super efficient. Lunch Menu is great and food is always delicious. The Afternoon tea at the Wishing Well is amazing. Cakes are delicious/sandwiches and the scones YUMMY!!! Never rushed and the added bonus of the beautiful garden. Highly recommend the Wishing Well

Always a good experience, friendly welcome, good service and food is always excellent! Always look forward to the next visit.

We love visiting Upwey Wishing Well. The staff are welcoming and friendly. There’s an energetic vibe as it’s always so busy there but it’s well organised and runs smoothly. The food and drinks on offer are fantastic and the setting is just beautiful. A great place for family and friends to get together.

Excellent visit today to The Wishing Well. The food and service are consistently good and the lovely garden is welcoming and spacious with seating and tables dotted about. Will continue to visit and recommend.

Received vouchers from a friend. The weather was glorious and the food fantastic. Started with a young lady (Emily) greeting us with a smile and showing us to our table. Drinks received and a jug of water placed on the table as well. Ordered two chicken snitzel and a chicken burger. Arrived quickly and hot even though by now The Wishing Well was filling up and was quite busy. Very attentive staff (Emily) and another staff member checked to see if everything was OK and if we required anything else. We had a dessert each which arrived, once again, with a 😃 smile. A fabulous place with lovely gardens.

Amazing hidden gem in Dorset! Stunning setting, amazing tea rooms and delicious Dorset Tea & Scone! A MUST if you are ever lucky enough to be near Highly Recommended 👍🏻

Great as usual we will be back to see you again soon 😀

was a bit chaotic as lots of people coming and going. We werent clear if we had to go to the counter to order drinks/food or whether it was table service. Food was good quality but thought it was a little expensive for what we had. Staff were friendly and very happy to help.

Lovely place. Great breakfast and good choice of books and gifts.

Amazing , great service, delicious food, delicious cakes , highly recommended

Have been wanting to come for a long time and will be back very soon. A good place to bring all my visitors. Arrived early but was accommodated without any fuss. Lovely range of food.

Lovely gardens, fab food, really nice staff and dog friendly, what a bonus

Always welcoming, friendly, respectful, clean, wacky, not to mention incredible surroundings, amazing food, and with the source of the River Wey in the backyard!

Father’s Day voucher.Lovely sunny day .Great food and a great setting by the stream.

visited the wishing well 2 years ago and could not wait to visit again. Loved the grounds, plants and trees but mostly the Wishing Well. Food was exceptional and my nephew said he had the best Victoria sponge ever. I came all the way from Basse Normandy to find smiling waitresses even those the sun was not shimming and the wind was blowing a gust. I hope to come again.....soon

Cheerful efficient staff. Food very good. Thank you very much

Superb Sunday roast lunch. Excellent service, great location, beautiful surroundings. Highly recommend

As usual, great service and amazing food. Will definitely visit again very soon.

Lovely ambience, friendly waitresses and great food - a great afternoon in pleasant surroundings.

service and food very good well worth a visit. Have a look at the gardens and well afterwards.

We had a really perfect cream tea , the scones were absolutely amazing ! Warm and fresh . Can’t fault the staff , very friendly service and so very quick . Great value for money . Would visit again if we were nearer but we are only on holiday.

A lovely lunch as usual. Restaurant very busy bit noisy as several babies and children there but had a good time. Food great and staff wonderful

Lovely welcome and great food 😃 Good Gluten Free choice 👍

Superb customer service was topped off by our meals, which arrived promptly and were beautifully presented with a cheery smile. It’s now our favourite place to go for family occasions (it was my husband’s 60th birthday). Thank you to the team at the Wishing Well.

Visited with family on holiday with us. Came last year and requested another visit. Staff particularly lovely and catered for a vegan. Love the gardens too.

Efficient, friendly and courteous staff. Fabulous food and the prettiest of gardens.

What a beautiful place! The staff were so friendly and the food was excellent. The gardens are just beautiful and we both made a wish at the wishing well 😁 Recommend the fish cakes and ploughman’s 👍

Staff so helpful, had our food ready on time as had to get one of our party back too work. Went above and beyond for my granddaughters 21st birthday

We had a lovely roast dinner with great service and finished our drinks next to the stream. Perfect, thanks!

Our most favourite place at anytime of the day. Today we had a delicious Sunday Roast. Sitting by the river, it was served piping hot and plentiful, leaving room for an amazing desert. There’s nowhere to match it! Thank you.

Absolutely stunning tea room, the grounds are to die for, such an amazing experience on entering the garden & food was superb with the most professional staff who were very friendly & made sure all our needs were met. Lovely manager & was so lovely to see her mixing with all the customers of which you don’t see very often also So full of knowledge of the history of the tea room of which was very interesting. Will absolutely recommend this place & singing their praises for a very long time. Thank you

Food was good, parking OK although alternative parking was quite a walk on roads with no pavements. Shame that so many tables outside at the Wishing well makes it difficult to walk into the gardens

Lovely staff and the food was amazing Service was fantastic

Always a lovely experience at the wishing well and such nice food :)

First visit, definitely won't be the last. Haven of beauty. Great food, service in an amazing water garden.

Fabulous place and superb food and service. We would recommend

Been visiting the Upwey Wishing Well for 50 years so have seen many changes over the years. Today the food and service was amazing such a magical place. Thank you

Very charming enchanted place. The food was excellent with an amazingly good choice...and very different. Around every corner of the garden is a table. The staff were top class. Will definately be going back!!

It was crowded and noisy but was also an extremely busy Friday afternoon. The service was good but the sandwiches were a bit dry as if they had sat out for a while. We loved the gardens and the atmosphere, such a special place!

All went beautifully without a hitch. Thank you to the excellent and friendly staff.

Afternoon tea was amazing like always . been a few time now love having food here . Staff always lovely and friendly

Lovely setting. Excellent food. Sufficient jam and cream. Had to ask for butter

Idyllic location next to a babbling brook. Very friendly service and wonderful food. Kidnapped a couple of slices of lemon cake on the way out for for later (we did pay for them !)

Lovely venue, food and staff. Wonderful high tea. The gardens are beautiful

The visit was wonderful. Sitting in the beautiful gardens was just idyllic and, together with the delicious food and helpful, cheerful staff, we had a really lovely afternoon. We will definitely come again to this very special corner of Dorset.
