| This is an Ok Wetherspoons. Good luck to the management in dealing with "interesting customers". When our local Spoons adopted a similar regime, with many drinkers being barred...takings went down and Mr Tim sold our local to Tesco! Be careful what you wish for. southfields - 30 Jan 2012 15:25 |
| Excellent food, excellent beer! Having moved back to the area, i have been revisiting a few old haunts, and i'm pleasantly surprised of the changes here. The staff are friendly and helpful, where once they were sullen and rude, and the customers are no longer a bunch of deviants, indeed they appear to be more of a mainstream collection as opposed to the riff raff of old. The management has changed also, and in conversation with one of the new team i learned that the pub has a 100% mark on the latest Cask Marque, and their new policies have seen the down and outs moved on to other new venues that have sprung up. indeed, seeing the staff admonish customers on bad language is a sign of the seriousness they appear to take on creating a pleasant atmosphere, and it seems to working. After sampling a few of their dishes, i can find little to fault on the food, and with the absence of the scousers, will be highly likely to bring friends and relatives here to dine; joining the increasing number of regular diners. Good Job guys, keep it up! JoeNinety - 16 May 2011 17:54 |
| hahah- last review was brilliant and a man after my own political soul!!! Anyway , here is a more objective review. Been here quite a few times, as used to live in Southbourne and Bournemouth really doesn't have much choice. Anyway, good points: In boscombe, handy for buses, the town centre etc; good beers- never had a complaint with quality- ringwood well represented; price- I once had old thumper for £2 !!! hahaha; ok- bad points....get settled nicely..... absolutely filthy- when my mate and me were in there once, near the front, we saw a rat scurry about the chairs picking up the remains of the microwaved pap that they serve- the rat kept coming out and mockin us- anyway, we told the italian manager- he laughed ! hahahah; clientele- full of the final remains of the human species- this is what a pub would look like in the aftermath of a tactical nuclear strike on the silly uk- never saw any trouble- but once a bloke collapsed and the ambulance turned up and pulled him out- the place is like a soap opera- full of all the dross that live in Boscombe- if you go in there armed with this information the place is hilarious- enjoy! but have a tetanus and yellow fever jab first! alezilla - 8 Jan 2011 20:44 |
| A dangerous, unpleasant and criminogenic hole. Avoid if you have any self-perservation instinct. SouthbourneSocialist - 5 Nov 2010 02:21 |
| Spoons with hit-and-miss beers and "interesting customers". A good counterpart to the Timothy Shelley in Worthing Uncle_Dunkel - 21 Oct 2010 16:11 |
