Claire and the team are always welcoming. The Sunday roast is the main reason I come - generous portions, well-cooked meat and veg, good value. It&#39;s a reliable spot for a proper meal.

The spicy lamb sausage was the star for me, really well-spiced and juicy. The fattoush salad was fresh and crisp too.

Once we got seated, the 2 men who looked after us and served us were brilliant, we could not fault the service or the food.We are Afternoon Tea fans, and were at the Cafe Royal 2 weeks ago for my Wife&#39;s Birthday and did not know what to expect from Savoury Afternoon Tea at Harry Ramsdens in Bournemouth, something different, but it was great, so good we have purchased another voucher.

Great pub. Linda was really attentive, and the house red was a surprisingly good match for the steak pie.

Great pub quiz on Tuesdays! The host really knows his stuff and makes it a fun night out with friends.

The fried chicken tenders were the star of the show, crispy and juicy. The biscotti shake was a nice touch, paired well with the savoury chicken. Solid value, though the shakes could be a touch colder.

Great spot for a business lunch. Staff are attentive without being intrusive, and the menu has solid options. Portions are generous, which is appreciated. Pricing is fair for the area. The relaxed atmosphere helps get through a long meeting.

Been coming here for years. It&#39;s the consistency I appreciate - you know exactly what you&#39;re getting, a decent meal at a fair price, just like the chain pubs. Never had a bad plate. It&#39;s my reliable spot when I just want something straightforward.

Been coming here for years, the halal chicken is always spot on. Had the red curry and spicy Pad Thai again last night, flavours are solid. It&rsquo;s not cheap, but you can tell they use good ingredients.

Been coming here for years, so glad it&#39;s back. The food is just as good as I remember. Staff are lovely, but they did seem a bit rushed this time.

Been coming here for years. Staff are always friendly, even when it&#39;s packed. Our order came out quick tonight, no fuss. Just how a local spot should run.

Came here for a special dinner. The mango-lime cider was a standout, really crisp and refreshing. Portions were generous, perfect for sharing. Service was friendly and attentive. A nice spot for a relaxed evening out.

The falafel wrap here is solid. Good amount of fresh salad stuff inside, way more than the usual kebab shop. The halloumi option is decent too. Just a bit heavy on the garlic sauce for my taste.

I&#39;m really careful about what I eat, so I was pleased to see the steak was cooked just right. The Diane sauce had a lovely depth of flavour, you could tell it was made with fresh ingredients.

Been coming here for years, and the food is always spot on. The fried dishes never feel greasy, which is a big deal for me. The breads are light, just how I like them. It&#39;s my go-to for a reliable, quality curry.

Holly was our server, really helpful and attentive. She took the time to go through the menu with my friend who has a dairy allergy, made sure everything was sorted. Service like that makes a difference.

The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and the staff are incredibly friendly, making for a great dining experience.

Been ordering from them for years now. The pizzas are always spot on, and they give you a proper portion. Food arrives steaming hot every time. Can&#39;t ask for much more from a takeaway.

Loved the spot right on the marina. Tried a guest ale I hadn&#39;t seen before, which was a nice find. The place had a proper local buzz to it.

Had the Sunday roast here. The lamb was tender, and the trimmings were spot on. With a pint of ale, it&#39;s a solid meal for the price. Felt like a proper, filling weekend lunch without breaking the bank.

Popped in for a pint after work. The vibe is so chill, perfect for unwinding. Staff were really friendly, had a good chat. Just what I needed to switch off.

A lovely spot, always buzzing. The sea bass and prawn linguine from the specials board was spot on. Really appreciated how friendly the staff were when we called last minute to book a table. Made for a very relaxed evening.

Been coming here for years, and the portions are always massive. Got the steak frites again last night &ndash; it&#39;s just as huge as I remember. Honestly, you don&#39;t need a starter. That&#39;s why I keep coming back, the consistency.

The biryani was lovely, with really fresh ingredients. It&#39;s been a while since I had such a balanced and flavourful meal.

The fish was fresh, no doubt. But for the price, the portion felt a bit small. The lemon souffl&eacute; was nice, though.

Booked the upstairs private room for our wedding breakfast. Staff were really attentive throughout, and the food was spot on. Made the morning feel just right.
