| Great little welcoming pub in winter; the boozer from hell in summer. Blind_Eagle - 13 May 2011 19:38 |
| Was visiting the area 8-12 April, and was in Mudeford on the 11 April. I disagree with the previous person's comments. This is a crackin pub - superb location, great beer, nice food, they allow dogs in, and inside was not dingy - it was a traditional cosy pub to me. Yes, the food is a little pricey, but if you accept that it is pub fayre in a prime location, then it's fine. I wouldn't fancy it on a busy summer's weekend though - it must be mobbed. Perhaps it's odd to comment on this, but the loos were recently refurbished and were very clean - usually a good omen for any pub.We loved the pub and would go back again. I guess we all have different tastes and expectations. GaryR - 13 Apr 2011 15:49 |
| Unbelievably average boozer in a top tourist spot. Admittedly the staff were friendly and the ringwood x2 was good to drink, but the food was just below average - such a missed opportunity for a spot like this. Assume the footfall they do get means they dont really need to try very hard, i ordered the 'home made' pie which arrived as a stewing steak stew, rich sauce and one of those dreaded pre-fab floating pie tops ditched on top of the debris. The fish and chips was just boring, deep frozen white fish, battered and the whole lot topped by those generic frozen chips. The prices were around £8 for a main so not the £10-£12 for those restauranty pubs but even so i could cook better at little effort. Pub is otherwise dingy, laminated baked potato style menu's usual usual usual how on earth this pub made a 7.3 ranking is beyond me as it screams i am a 4.5-5 rank pub MAX! which for the location is a crying shame (cafe next door didnt look like much either - same owners i reckon. Take a few beers and a sandwich. parmantom - 12 Mar 2011 23:36 |
| We LOVE this pub!!!! Especially during winter.....I think it is our dogs favourite too! There is nothing out of the norm...or one thing that makes it special for us...it is just the whole place! Good service....good food....and good quirky little corners to sit in! Brilliant! LovefindingagoodPub - 19 Jul 2010 13:08 |
| Small cosy pub, stuck out on the end of Mudeford Quay overlooking Christchurch Harbour. Very dark with a few booths, the single bar has a bit of an old world atmosphere about it. Nice pint of Ringwood Best, didn't try the food but it looked good. CountryBoy - 23 Oct 2009 19:58 |
