Inn at Cranborne
Delicious food with a twist By Russell Harness When looking for food with a difference in a nice location, the Inn at Cranborne ticks all the boxes and you would be hard pressed to find a warmer welcome than the one we received. We were shown to a table for two where we had a…
Classic Clapton
Regent Centre, Christchurch, 7 September 2013 [divide] Review by Janine Pulford A blinder of a concert.

The 10th Anniversary “A Chance to Dance” Gala Show at Bournemouth’s Pavilion Theatre was outstanding from start to finish.
The Importance of Being Earnest

Horns Inn
Nestling just outside Wimborne, on a quiet country lane, you will find the beautifully presented Horns Inn with the new landlady Lori at the helm. Claire and I were invited there to sample some of the wholesome freshly cooked culinary delights they have to offer. Being a Wednesday night we arrived early to find a…
