| If you like fresh fish (rarely anything else on the menu) and don't want to spend a fortune (which you can in Poole) this is always an excellent place to eat. We have always been well fed, well watered and politely treated. A good honest pub in a world of plastic clones. Well done. Gaspode - 25 Sep 2011 18:37 |
| The bar staff are very well mannered, polite and good at their job. The food is standard. The pub needs updating, horrible posters which have been written on. £1.50 charge to use your card if its under £10. No children, even though the owner has his grandchildren running around the place and asked my husband and 1 plus our 4month old baby to leave as it states no children outside. The beer is extortionate. Went in again without the baby and heard the fat scottish owner calling a blonde haired barmaid 'f**king stupid', so we turned around and left. The place was dead and its no surprise really. How anyone would want to spend their time or money in that hell hole is beyond me. DON'T GO THERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE RIPPED OFF AND SHOUTED AT BY A FAT SCOTTISH MAN. poole77 - 9 Aug 2011 12:23 |
| Lovely old pub in a fantastic position on the quay and nice barmaid, but that's about it.We had lunch here last week and I definitely wouldn't recommend it unless you're just going in for a drink out of season.The beer's okay,Ringwood Best and Fortyniner, but the food was a big letdown.I had pan fried haddock,which turned out to be a small fillet which the cook hadn't even bothered to crisp up the skin on,one boiled (old) potato cut into 4 pieces and some frozen peas - £8.95.The whole meal was dry and tasteless, no seasoning on anything, no tartare sauce offered,nothing.My wife's fish pie was okay,but came without any vegetables and just a supermarket bake in the oven bread roll - £8.95. Very poor value.Wouldn't go here again. jdb1 - 10 Jan 2011 10:41 |
| Nautical pub with great tiled exterior. My seafood casserole was great and a huge portion, just how I like it. The Ringwoods is OK by itself, but not the best accompaniment for fish IMO. I was surprised there was no wine list, but the standard stuff was OK and pretty cheap. The food being so good, they could do with improving their game on the drink front.

| Love the building and ales but that's about it. Ordered a fish pie which on closer inspection only had one type of fish and nothing else, a little disappointing for the price. Partner's meal was great though. Good service from a younger member of staff on this occasion, but upon visiting one week later, we were disappointed to have the landlord being snotty with us for daring to sit at a table to have a drink! We had been deciding whether to eat, but his unpleasant attitude put us off, so decided against it. Such a shame, when we would have liked to have been regular customers. You will know him because he is the one sat at the bar whilst his other staff sweat around him...perhaps he could clean the men's toilets if he has nothing else to do? gongapop - 9 Aug 2010 17:19 |
