Chaplins

Great and interesting menu - asparagus dish and sharing platters are delicious. Staff are very professional - all of them - but a special mention to Tommy and Amy. Bar staff were lovely too. Prices reasonable. Decor is amazing and was done by owner&apos;s wife.

Fab find - a real gem!

I stopped in for some food before a gig at the 02 and it was very busy. I was on my own and the friendly staff was able to seat me for dinner. Food and drink was very good and the staff friendly with good service! The decor and atmosphere is so fun. Cool bar area downstairs also. If I&apos;m back in the area I will definitely go here again!

Cool atmosphere for food and drinks!

I  booked a table for 8 on a busy Friday night. We had a 5.15pm booking with a deadline of 7.00pm for us to get into a concert in the O2 Academy nearby. Christian and his team looked after us very well, with 2 other groups in the house as well. The food was excellent quality; the benefits of a small menu, dishes are well prepared and cooked and delicious. The lamb, the burgers and the fish and chips were all excellent. The service was prompt and charming, they got us through in time and we&apos;d all be happy to go back again. I&apos;m happy to highly recommend this Charlie Chaplin themed restaurant and cellar bar.

Excellent Food and Staff Right in the Town Centre

Spend an hour or two in Chaplin’s and you’ll witness the whole spectrum of life passing before your eyes. There is such an eclectic mix of people, yet everyone is always so friendly, that in Chaplin’s you reach an experience that is beyond the limits of basic humanity. Chaplin’s is much more than a pub, and more than a college bar, it is alive with people of all ages and as you become aware of the wonder of life at its fullest you feel welcomed by all.  My wife and I find ourselves talking freely to people older than us, and people younger than us, and people down on their luck for one reason or another, and people who life has obviously been very kind to. You’ll find people with beautiful and creative tattoos, another person who looks as though he’s stepped straight out of the Beat Generation of the 50s with dark glasses, polo-neck and a goatee beard, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see people in bow ties and evening dresses walk through the door. Yet no one looks out of place!   The restaurant is fabulous, the food really special, yet many people don’t even know it exists because they close their doors about 9.30 – 10 p.m., so if you’re a late visitor you won’t even know about it but trust me it’s worth trying. Plus, there’s a variety of music on most nights. Downstairs in the Cellar Bar it’s a little too loud for my liking on a Saturday night, but it’s a cracking bar the rest of the week with a diverse choice of live musicians.  The staff are a joy in themselves, but again, it’s the beautiful, intense, and colourful clientele that make Chaplin’s so special. We found ourselves discussing one in particular, who could have been a vicar, then again, he could have been a Tai Chi or King Fu master. We never found out. The husband of an elderly couple we got chatting to turns out to be running a boxing club.    Chaplin’s is alive! It’s alive as if the whole energy of Boscombe is trapped within its walls. I spoke to a chap whose story broke my heart, 

 A safe haven amongst the absurdity of Boscombe

Wow again. 6 of is had Sunday roast.  Yummy. Lovely staff, great venue. £22 per person for 3 courses, where can you get that price!!! Meals were superb thanks to the chef. Highly recommended.
