| Since my last review in 2007, I have revisited this pub and things have improved enormously. Attentive staff and tasty food. 7/10 Minesapint63 - 1 Jun 2010 12:14 |
| I took a friend to this old haunt last week and WHAT A DIFFERENCE A RE-FIT MAKES! There is nothing locally to match the spacious dining with the seperate amazing 'coffee' areas. We had fantastic service, we just had coffees some tap water starters and desserts. I had mackarel pate (to die for), followed by an almond and berry tart with clotted cream ice cream - I can't remember what my friend had but she loved it. All for less than £20. I cannot recommend it highly enough - will be a regular visitor. I was amazed because it was so quiet - get down there soon before everyone else discovers it! CathyDC - 23 Jul 2008 17:48 |
| This place was great about a year ago; good food, nice atmosphere and a really friendly staff. Not quite as good now. walliam - 11 Jul 2008 01:24 |
| This is a great pub. A good buzz in the main bar and the back room is a fine venue when they have bands on. The quiz nights a bit of a laugh too. Cant comment on the food these days although it used to be very good when John and Gill ran the place. For a night out though the pubs fine and the beers are always well kept.

| I don't usually review pubs twice, but I had the misfortune of having to visit this dump again on Sunday 18th February. Nothing has changed. What is advertised as 'Poole's Best Carvery' must conrtravene several trading standards and ASA regulations. Small plates (not the big plates pictured on their ads), luke warm tasteless food, delays with a child food order, and staff that just don't care. You know things are bad when staff don't ask 'how was your meal' They already know it's bad. Avoid. Vote with your wallet and go elsewhere. Minesapint63 - 19 Feb 2007 10:49 |
