The Botany Bay Inn, Winterborne Zelston
Arrived for Sunday lunch � car park full � that�s a good sign, it�s popular.
Got a friendly welcome from behind the bar. No table available in the restaurant but that�s wasn�t a problem, we were happy to have a drink in the very pleasant garden. Wandered back into the bar, �there�s a table available sir�. All very impressive up to this point.
Waited 20 minutes for the order to be taken � �sorry I thought you�d ordered�. After another 10 minutes � �sorry we haven�t got any salmon (one of the starters). The main courses eventually arrived but, oh dear, the roasties were well and truly roasted and a steak knife would have been useful to cut through the beef. Gave up waiting to order a desert. We were finally presented with the bill along with a �sorry for the mix-up�. � So were we.

we decided to try the sunday carvery.
when we arrived the bar and restaurant were very busy.
we sat in the bar and had a drink but the tables were very messy and ashtrays overflowing.
not enough staff
when we eventually ate the food was very good
meat tender, lots of veg.

Looks like someone's been reading the reviews - went back for a second visit - Everywhere tidy and spotless. Food still the same good standard.
