The Christopher Creeke , Bournemouth

I disagree! The Gander on the Green was a lil bit Spit and Sawdust if ya get me...Spoons have once again done an amazing job of turning a pub around! The upsatairs bar no longer has pool tables, but then none of the wetherspoons i have ever been into have, but they have added a patio area at the back conversion of the top bar and it looks amazing. At the weekends the pub gets busy with the Stags and Hens which is interesting to watch!
There was a reason for the Metropole going under....Good job spoons took it over if you ask me as there is not a lot else on that stretch that is invinting! I love the mini festivals they put on like the beer and wine fest and the selection of real ales are huge with an option to suggest your own from 'east west'. Well worth a try, service is quick and friendly and pub is now CLEAN!

The Sir Percy Florence Shelley, Boscombe

I have been using the Percy on and off for the last 5 years and it has improved hugely from when i first started going in there. Alex is back - and running it well and the bearded guy does a good job of keeping most of the dregs out.
Its got a good range of spirits and lagers at cheap prices and where else can you get a burger and a pint for under a fiver!!! Since the non smoking thing the food has got better as well.
