Ordered a salad for £8, received what was quite obviously a side salad, bar staff oblivious when I pointed out that my salad was in fact slightly less than half the size of the salad ‘garnish’ that came with their sandwich that cost £4.50. Have been a few times because of its brilliant location but have been disappointed every time. Pleasant enough staff but they all just seem so dim, no one appears to be managing the place. Anyone managing such a potentially wonderful establishment in a location like its got so poorly is clearly not the brightest of sparks. Poor food, poor beer, slow staff, drunk aggressive regulars.

For a pub in such a prime site with masses of space, who is letting this go to rot? The bar smells foul - like many others before the smoking ban, there are LOTS of bluebottles, the mix of customers can be a bit threatening too. Why don't they shut it down, gut it, and start all over again with a conservatory on the front, a brighter and cleaner interior, and decent staff to keep up the standards. With all the new development and reef coming up down there, this is a potential gold mine - when will they wake up?? Not for the faint-hearted!

Avoid this Pub, Bad food, Dirty Glasses, Very Bad Standards! Shame was a great place about 18 months ago, must of had a change of management!

Theres always loads of staff, but only ever one guy serving (which equals ridiculous waits at the bar), the rest seem to wander about the pub aimlessly looking for empties. Some staff very friendly, others incredibly rude, just depends on the visit I suppose.
Food is fairly good, but a place to avoid if you have a fear of large amounts of flies

Untapped potential. Are there plans to refit this pub when the Boscombe development gets underway? This area needs a good pub - I'm not sure whether the present corporate and branded offer is the best solution. A nice Free House or tenancy would be ideal.
I don't agree with anonymous postings - COWARDS.
