The Pig And Whistle, Bournemouth

Well after reading some mixed reviews I thought I would give it a shot. We ate in the restaurant and I plumped for the Fillet steak, whilst (amusingly after reading a review on here) my wife went for the gnocci (dumpling in Italian!). My steak was cooked the perfect medium rare, with juice flowing with every cut. The taste was overwhelming, and whats more they were happy to substitute the mushrooms for onion rings!!! As for my wifes gnocci it was the first time she had shut up for more than 2 minutes!!! She enjoyed it that much! It wasnt served with bread, but it was requested to mop up the mouth watering spinach and ricotta sauce!!
The staff there were really attentive and could not do enough for us and to walk in to a restaurant to be met with a smile and warm welcome really sets you up for a good night.
One last night was the beer, I had a lovely pint of Ringwood best, followed by a pint of Porter. Both of them were what I expect from a real ale, clean, crisp, with a smooth drinkability!
Fantastic night, fantastic pub, fantastic pub.
All my friends have been told!!!
Maybe I will see you there soon
