"I was expecting so much more from this place due to it being recommended. Customer service was good, staff were attentive and friendly, but the food was sub standard and pricey. The quality was lacking in terms of freshness of the fish, and the chips tasted like a standard portion of supermarket oven cooked chips. For £18 I wanted more. Also I couldn't taste a hint of alcohol in the SOTB sharing cocktail, again, disappointing!"

Great location to sit and have a drink and watch the beach goings on. Bar staff are a bit confused and don't really seem to know what they are doing.

Popped in here on my 40th birthday and it was so lively it was great, October fest was on and it was jumping, great bar right on the sea front with plenty of cocktails and great atmosphere.

Lovely place on the beach front. Overlooking the Bournemouth pier. Absolutely stunning views. Need more veggie choices. But I'm sure it'll be incredible in the evening for drinks etc. Worth a visit. View menu

Is a very nice place with a sea view. Customers' service is okay. However, the food was disappointing calamari wasn't fresh, it was off but the pizza was okay. And the seats could be better in cleanliness seats are full of sand and stains.

Food was either inedibly undercooked or overcooked to the point of having no taste at all except for the greens. When we left and before we could even get to our hotel room, me and my partner both had to puke and suffered from diarrhea. A waste of 70 pounds!

Great place to go. Good atmosphere, the staff are really attentive and friendly and the food was amazing. Tasted fresh and arrived after a very reasonable short wait. The hoi sin duck pizza is a definite winner. Definitely coming back for a celebration as the vip packages look great. View menu

Decent bar, but waited too long for drinks. Had dinner there but had really poor service, almost having to wait 30mins after done with the starters to get plates cleared. Then explaining to the waiter that we are still waiting for our mains. To top is off I ordered jerk chicken and received burnt chicken, not acceptable and will not recommend.

It is a lovely place with lovely sea views. It was a lovely day so sat outside as restaurant was quite busy inside. It seems like a place where people can chill with friends for a lunch and has quite a bar feel for the evening crowd. Food was lovely and just tried items from the small and sharing plates menu like calamari, shrimp tacos and dynamite shrimp.

"We had called-here for drinks during a previous visit to Bournemouth. We were impressed with the wine we drank, and the food that we saw served to other customers. So, today was the realisation of a promise that we made-to-ourselves to revisit and, this time, dine! We were a few-minutes early for our 19:30 reservation having allowed too-much time for our half-a-mile walk from our hotel. The restaurant was not busy, and there were scant customers during our 2½ hour stay. There was only one, very pleasant, member of staff in the bar/dining area. We had assumed he was the Manager, and he did everything: menus, drinks, food orders, food service, and payment. He did this pleasantly with good humour, plus impressive efficiency and knowledge. The food here is principally ‘Sharing Boards’ but also available were smaller (snack) servings of Artisan Cheese and Charcuterie and other “Nibbles”. We chose an ‘Ultimate Board’ (intended for two people sharing and costing £36.95 in total). Within this price you select four types of charcuterie plus four types of cheese to complete the board. Drinks: we started with a 175ml glass of “Martin Codax Albariño” for each of us. The extensive and impressive wine list offers a good selection available by the 175 or 250ml glass: 6 white wines, 3 rosé wines, 9 red wines, 3 sparkling wines and 9 aperitif/digestif wines. The Albariño was very much enjoyed, whist we decided which bottle of wine we would have with our meal. After much thought we chose a bottle of Bin 31 ‘Laibach (Sur Lie) Stellenbosch’; a white wine from what is a great wine-producing region in South Africa. This was superbly delicate and gently flavoured; with the very slight effervescence from the ‘Sur Lie’ fermentation method (fermentation on the lees). We know this method well from Sur Lie Muscadet wines, from the Sèvre-et-Maine region in France. With our wine chosen, we concentrated on the charcuterie and fromage that we would like with our ‘Ultimate Board’. There was much debate between us, but eventually: Our choices of charcuterie were: Salami Milano: with a perfumed scent that was such a delight. Pâté: quite fine but rich and flavoursome. Venison Salami: surprising and just superb. Smoked Pancetta: we loved this delicately smoked pork belly which was served in the thinnest slices imaginable. The cheese was far more difficult to choose: A Cheddar was a no-brainer and it was good; however we have ‘Vintage’ Cheddar at home (aged for 36-60 months); so the Cheddar here was a bit tame for our tastes. Oak Smoked Lincolnshire Poacher: this was very disappointing as half of the piece was totally inedible rind, and the rest was almost impossible to cut with the cheese-knife provided. I brought this to the attention of the Manager this was exchanged with more of the Cheddar. Northern Blue: good and creamy and appreciably tangy. We had another cheese which was firm and good eating, but we cannot recall it’s name (that’s our fail then). To be honest, and sadly, we found the cheese to be not anywhere as good as the charcuterie, we like mostly hard, or at least firm cheese, with strong flavours. Brie, Camembert and other soft cheeses rarely feature at our home (the somewhat explains our choices). The board was loaded with extra ingredients: a good selection of salad and fruit: cream cheese stuffed cherry tomatoes, lovely crunchy astringent cornichon, fresh grapes and pitted olives. There was also a pot of hummus, onion relish, cheese crackers, and a basket of bread (the latter of which we ordered a second). The meal was still a very favourable experience; made better by the extra cornichon provided. Just because I said how much I loved the texture and flavour of these wonderful ‘little gherkins’. After our board we were quite replete and there was no-way we could have managed a dessert, but an extra glass of Viognier for my Partner, and a wonderful 10-year-old Tawny Port for myself, finished-off the meal splendidly."

"WOW! What can we say!? Chris Katie catered lunch at our beautiful outdoor wedding at Moonacre, Sturminster Marshall. They had a fantastic layout and lots of menu options available several different burgers, wieners fries! They absolutely smashed the service and excelled at feeding a few more than expected too! They made us a gorgeous little personalised menu also which we thought was such a nice touch! Everyone couldn’t stop talking about how amazing their food was even those who would never normally consider vegan options were blown away at how great everything tasted! They managed to positively influence even the most stubborn meat eaters of our guests to realise that they don’t need to miss out on flavour when choosing vegan options! That’s a huge win in our eyes! A couple of people even said it was the first ever vegan food they’d tried and they couldn’t get over how amazing it was! We told our guests about the Mighty Wieners restaurant in Bournemouth and will be bringing people back for more as they couldn’t wait to try more options! The day was such a huge success and Chris Katie did such an incredible job! We can’t recommend them enough, for food at their restaurant and wedding events catering! Vegetarian options: Excellent vegetarian and vegan options! Dietary restrictions: Served gluten free options! Kid friendliness: Excellent service friendly, warm and when above and beyond! Wheelchair accessibility: Perfect for full accessibility!"
