The Iford Bridge, Christchurch

Visited The Iford for the first time in years this week and what a change - very much for the better. I arrived shortly before my guest and observed the way everyone worked together, cheerful and smiling, creating a good atmosphere. The landlady and staff were friendly, efficient, patient with all customers and, even though it was fairly busy, I did not have to wait long at the bar. I must admit to being slightly wary of trying the food as it was so cheap but it was a needless concern. Our lunch arrived in good time, it was hot, well presented and tasted extremely good, we were very impressed and will be going back.
A pub that is everything a pub should be.

The Green Dragon Inn, Stoke Fleming

Is the Green Dragon at Stoke Fleming a good pub? Yes. Spending a weekend in the area we came across the pub by chance and, not being impressed with visits to other establishments, we were totally surprised and taken with the Green Dragon. First evening we just had a drink but went back the following night to eat and boy are we glad we did. It seems to be very much a locals pub but the staff were welcoming, the food was seriously good and very reasonably priced. To sum up: The landady is lovely, her staff efficent and friendly and the food is melt in the mouth. If you have to visit Stoke Fleming for any reason then do not miss the chance to pop in to this place. We had to book for Saturday dinner and suggest you do the same as it does seem very busy.

The Crown Inn, Christchurch

Lovely place to eat, drink & chill. We are fairly regular visitors and always enjoy the experience. Wine/beer is good - except they've now stopped selling Fosters (shame) and the food is tasty, reasonably priced and served by friendly staff.
Long may they continue
