Bailey Bridge Table Table in Christchurch

Excellent service, friendly staff and a lovely fish pie. Food is hot too Update July 2024: I believe it will not be a restaurant anymore, just servicing the attached hotel only so check before you go.

Great food bit of a wait for service and food delivery on opening once running it's not so bad

Great evening to celebrate my Granddaughter's Baptism day. Thanks to all the staff who were so friendly and helpful. Big shout out for Dan who changed our booking arrangements at short notice so we could all sit together.

Would have given no stars if was possible. Arrived at a virtually empty restaurant to be told a group of 7 was not possible to accommodate. Needless to say that we won't even bother trying any table table restaurant in the future.

We were served by Eda, who was kind and attentive and made a point of looking after my elderly parents, moving us to a different table so my dad's wheelchair could fit more easily. The food as always was plentiful and of good quality. In place the decor is tired, but overall it's a good experience and enhanced by a stand out member of the team looking after you.

Myself & 2 kids had a great breakfast, thank you 🤩

Service was good but there were hardly any customers so they didn't have much else to do. The food was awful. Dry, burnt round the edges and tasteless.

Food overcooked and sent back. Wife finished her meal before my replacement turned up which was better but not as I asked.

Our meal was really good done exactly how we wonted it. Efficiently served

I Stop at the premier inn for business and use the restaurant for breakfast... always well looked after by George great service and the food is cooked to order brilliant all round.. thanks!!

Stud there waiting for 15 minutes then found someone so I could pay for breakfast all I was told there would be someone over to seat me and my daughter 10 minutes later someone came over ( 25 minutes of waiting ) to be told the kitchen closes at 11 we had been waiting since 10-15 the breakfast area was empty so don't know what the staff was doing. Definitely won't be going back there again...

I have to say that every time we visit the restaurant at Bailey Bridge, the service is excellent. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The food and drinks are very good value.

We went for Sunday Roast the food was perfect staff very helpful very polite would Highly recommend

Breakfast slow service and the hot food, pretty poor,mediocre at best. However, late afternoon/early evening, food options much better and service excellent, also the staff are very pleasant and helpful.

We went as a couple for a quiet dinner before collecting our daughter from a late work shift. The service was very good and the food also extremely good as very cooked & presented. Sara checked we were enjoying our meal and asked if there was anything else she could do for us. The evening was thoroughly enjoyable. Thanks Table Table and Sara xx

Waitress was annoyed when I asked for another table, there were five empty tables free, we didn't get the one I requested instead put us next to other customers. The chicken was not as described, over done and lacking in the description. Very slow service.

Lovely Breakfast with nice efficient service..

Good lunch just OK. Service is good

The meal was just super, hot and tasty. The staff so professional looking after us and so the lunch was a huge success.

Excellent burgers and chips, all served quickly and hot. Friendly and efficient service all round will definitely go back again.

Great service by Tara - really helpful and happy. Other male gentleman seem unhappy and moody.

Had lunch, food was very nice service quick.

Eda our waitress along with all the rest of the team were very accommodating and cheerful running the breakfasts during our stay at the hotel. Thankyou.

Service with a smile, friendly warm welcome and great quality food.

Served by Keats excellent service and great value

Went here for breakfast one Sunday. 3 Adults. We were greeted and seated as soon as we arrived. All had an all you can eat cooked breakfast. Our server was a lovely smiley lady called Eda who efficiently made sure everything was to our liking through out our visit. The food although standard pub food was cooked wonderfully and tasted delicious. We'll be going back soon

Reasonable priced, friendly staff, good range of breakfast food for adults and children.

Great night! on Baley Bridge was amazing food good atmosphere place good staff serving on time was in general great recommended definitely 👌

Wonderful meal, and brilliant service from the lovely Keats.

Great food and amazing service. Thanks to all the staff for a great afternoon!

Amazing roast dinner, very impressed! Madi our waitress was great, very attentive and friendly. Will definitely be visiting again!

As regular customers, we must say the staff are exceptional, this makes us look forward to our visits.

Great service from Madi and good food.

Fabulous for breakfast. 3 adults & 2 children on Easter Sunday, fast service by the staff, excellent food and lovely coffee. What more do you need?! And to top it off, the 2 children were free 😁

We come here regularly for breakfast. The welcome and service are always brilliant. We can not recommend enough. Good value, too.

My family visit regularly and we have always been extremely happy with the food and service. Staff always friendly and helpful. Highly recommend

Very good prices. Good food and wide range of variety. Eda was very friendly.

Great place for lunch. Excellent service with very personable staff - as always.

Had breakfast here this morning and was speaking to a family who travelled from Cornwall as we witnessed the manager taking his whole family through to the vip area where he separated them from the public and gave them all a FREE breakfast. since when has this been a family run business. he was very rude and arrogant and was rushing customers like they was on a conveyor belt to ensure his family had fast service and FREE breakfast's. my wife i will not be eating here again, nor any of our friends. We weren’t made to feel welcomed, it was all about taking our money and moving us on. Best avoid this place like the plague. Had to put a star to post this however, if i could it would be zero.

Had my Grandads wake here, cannot fault a thing. Arrived early was shown around by the manager and discussed arrival times etc Amazing buffet options available, all food served at time we requested. Brilliant selection of food. Would highly recommend booking for any private event if you require buffets etc. 5 stars all round.

had a meal on mothers Day had mixed grill the meal was not very good some of it was uncooked and chicken was tough (it used to be really good)

Great food very fresh and tasty

Lovely, friendly staff, food cooked well and presented nicely. Great value 🙂

My friend and. Myself went for breakfast 14 February as we were coming out someone threw a glass which smashed right in front of us I asked the staff I'd they had a broom to sweep it up they looked at me like I was a idiot we had to walk over the glass which was on the floor I'm disabled and walk with a stick there was no apology

Good food and excellent service

We reserved a table of 18 for a 60th birthday celebration, was given a lovely area to accommodate our guests and decorations that we took in and arranged ourselves. Our reservation was at 5pm, I got there at 4.30 to finish decorations and asked for some cutlery as the tables hadn’t been layed, the cutlery wasn’t brought to us until 5.30 and was just put in a pile on a table. Our starters didn’t arrive until 6.25, after we had asked what the delay was … we were told that they had another table of 12 and one of 15 as well as our table of 18 and that the staff had made their manager aware previously that they wouldn’t have enough staff to serve this many big tables … but nothing was done to fix that. We had preordered our food on the Wednesday before as requested by the restaurant … a few of the food orders came to the table incorrect and some didn’t come at all … A desert that had been preordered, we were advised on the night that they weren’t sure why we’d be able to preorder this as they haven’t had it in stock for a long time despite it still being on the menu … while the food that did arrive correctly was okay, we felt as though we were a burden and being difficult when asking for the mistakes to be corrected. We explained that If we’d have known they had 2 other big tables we maybe wouldn’t have booked for fear of it being too much for them and things not being as we had hoped .. but the staff informed us that we were the first large table to book that date so at the time of our booking, there weren’t 2 other large groups. Quite disappointed with how it turned out as this was a special occasion and lots of effort had been made on our part to make it special for our dad’s 60th. Would not recommend for large groups.

An awful experience and will never return to a Table table again. The drinks ordered took an age to come to the table but at least they did eventually. After we'll over an hour I queried where our food was. On checking with the kitchen, the waitress informed us it would be 10 minutes more and, "oh, we don't have one of the meals you ordered" 75 minutes previously. Most of our party of 7 were ready to leave at this point and probably should have. We stayed however, and 20 minutes later the starters,including a very tepid soup, arrived. Eventually, 6 main courses arrived along with a pudding as a replacement for the missing main meal. Having put the maximum 3 hours parking in, we had to top it up with another hour in order that we didn't get a parking ticket. The final insult was only the one pudding was not charged for plus a token amount taken off the bill that equated to less than a pound each. My advice is stay well clear of this place.

Food was good. But unfortunately not very hot

Rump steak & chips £13:99 which you have the option to change chips for salad 🥗 which i did to find the salad was lettuce & 1 tomato 🍅 cut into 4 . Disappointed thought I might of got a bit cucumber 🥒 some chopped red onion 🌰 but 👎 no . But to be fair the steak was good and I had birthday voucher from tasty rewards . But this has put me going back to order steak & salad again

Love this place staff are great Xmas menu was delicious cocktails lovely even had a Xmas name for them now have a 2meals for ,£11 .79 great menu either way

Very impressed with how clean and sparkly the glasses were for drinks not been before, very nice place

Can't say too much because I was there for a funeral. But nice clean, friendly place.

This was not a good experience from start to leaving ,not to be repeated . Table not laid up no cutlery and no salt or pepper . Service so slow I didn’t get my pre ordered starter until the rest of my party had finished theirs . The tables weren’t cleared until the main courses were being served .The Xmas menu stated my chicken ham pie came with chips but it came with a sludge of mash which had a crust on it and was barely warm . Poor waitress hadn’t cleared the tables after at least 30 mins so we did it ourselves and then came the wait for deserts which eventually came served by the chef . The interminable time to pay was ridiculous as the computer wanted to charge more than the stated £16.99 for 2 courses . I sincerely hope I don’t get a parking fine for being there for longer than the 3 hours logged on the registration as the length of time we had to wait for food and to pay at the end was entirely out of my control .at least the company was good and luckily we all were tolerant .

Waited over 2 hours for food and then half what was ordered didn't come out (the kids meals)poor service when we did get it it was cold would not recommend its not even worth the on star

Friendly staff, efficiently dealt with my allergies. A lovely breakfast set us up for the journey home

Stood at bar for 10minutes and couldn't get served. Very quiet Friday mid afternoon went and spent our money at the Ilford instead

Very disappointed this time. There appeared to be only 2 staff serving both the restaurant and bar areas. It was not busy but it was still 30 mins before our order was taken and a further 30 mins before starters arrived and then about another 45 mins before the mains came. Having spent over 2 hours already we didn't want to risk desserts. The food was OK, but it wasn't very hot and the rump steak was very tough. The waitress was very pleasant but obviously overworked.

Waited for food for 45 minutes, waitresses instead of an apology, said "Fortunately that how it's works " Decipointed. 😩

November 2023 This used to be a regular eating place for many Christchurch diners, but quality and service had gone way down hill during last summer and we just stopped going.... ...But thanks to the enthusiastic efforts of Lucy (Maitre' d) and her staff (some in training), this has been truly reversed. Our group comprised 14 "seniors". We booked around 2 weeks in advance, and were (not unreasonably) requested to pre-order our meals 1 week before. We were warmly greeted on arrival and given a table near the bar in an area which would not disturb other diners. Our meals were served about 20 mins after last guest had arrived. Everybody got just what they had ordered - no substitutions required. All were served together, except for short wait for last dish, involving fried eggs, which arrived perfectly cooked. There was a minor complaint about some of the chips being cold and fresh bowls were promptly supplied. One guest accidently knocked his beer over and this was swiftly mopped up with minimum fuss. Sara, (the early xmas elf) and Lucy were very attentive throughout, and nothing was too much trouble. Settling up was easy, as staff were happy to sort out individual payments due the pre-order list given. The group agreed that the Bailey Bridge had been a good choice, and excellent value for money, will be spreading the news and returning soon. We also had a "secret diner" in our midst who endorsed this, though not writing a review on this occasion. Again, our thanks to Lucy, Sara and the supporting team for a great night out.

Arrived at 10am for unlimited breakfast, were not informed that breakfast service finished at 10.15. Paid £9.90 each for 2 people for breakfast, couldn't order any more as it was after 10.15. Very expensive breakfast, will not be recommending.

TERRIBLE Roasts . No Turkey, No Gammon, only Beef or Fake Chicken. In the end they found what appeared to be processed Chicken Breast. It was all horrible. The toilet facilities were extremely poor difficult getting into, Dirty, No hand dryer working. No hand soap. it's disgraceful and don't be supprised if it closes down before long. The waitress was very good under the circumstances, felt sorry for her as it must be a terrible place to work. Obviously management couldn't care less as it is being run into the ground in my opinion.

The food was ok and the staff helpful but as always in the Bailey Bridge the time taken to get fed is awful. There just isn’t enough staff. I was beginning to think my three hours in the car park was going to run out.

Very quiet and short staffed but friendly service

Fantastic waitress. Half the menu not available, apparently no onion rings cos too difficult to make unless out of a freezer. Had a fantastic toast a couple of weeks ago but unfortunately this time was terrible. Hair in egg! 1st Waitress argued but 2nd waitress was doing the work of 2 people with no help from other staff! Food was being sent back from nearly every table. Never to return!

Met up with some friends for dinner under catch up. Restaurant was very quiet. I think they were only two other tables as well as us. My friend's ordered the mixed grill which came out ok. Unfortunately my chicken was very dry. I ordered the Hunters chicken and the bacon was charred almost to a crisp and mostly uneatable. The cheese and BBQ sauce had dried to almost non-existent and the chicken itself was very dry. The bottom was charred which meant I couldn't eat it. Very few staff around to mention this but it was late and I didn't want to make too much of a fuss (my own fault yes, I know). Had to drink in the bar afterwards and we were were the only people there. Bar staff were attentive But I don't think I would visit again for dinner.

Long wait for food ,dishes recommended but were off the menu ,dry food wrong orders,even the drinks menu was wrong We will not be returning

Although a little dated, this place offers a wonderfully cooked breakfast, currently at £9.99!

Pleasant atmosphere Friendly attentive staff Hidden jewel in Christchurch if you ask me

Food average. Service very good. Party of 12

Spent a couple of days in the Premier Inn next door on a holiday with my fiancee and the breakfast served here for the hotel guests is amazing! Such a wide selection you cannot fault it and everything was kept topped up. I didn't take as full advantage of the 'all you can eat' option as I would have wanted but for £9.99 it works out really good value! I have to give a shout out to Lucy as well who was so friendly in the mornings and had lovely customer service even when it did get busy at times. Lunch, however wasn't as good. The chips on my dish were cold as well as the burger itself, whilst my fiancée had the mixed grill and all of the food on his plate was hot. However the patties/meat get an extra star because the meat was lovely! The waitress that served us lunch however was lovely too so cannot fault your staff here at all! Overall a mixed experience but will come back for an unlimited breakfast again some time soon! 😁

A pleasant pub for a reasonably priced meal. My meal was not very hot but no one came to check whether the food was ok, so I ate it.The toilets need some tlc

Went here for breakfast with 2 kids. For £9 each kids eat free, makes it great value. Good coffee, and full English, sets you up for the day!

Lost 2 stars. 1 main meal forgot to be ordered, so it arrived 10 minutes after my guests had started so their meals would not get cold. Totally unacceptable.

We dined and had breakfast there and service was 1st class especially Lucy Breakfast Manager was brilliant

Had breakfast and evening meal deal. On arrival at the restaurant we sat down and were asked for our drink order which took a long time to arrive, We then placed the meal choice,My son ordered a burger without bacon and sauce which the waitress wrote down and my wife ordered chicken tikka. After a very long wait the meals turned up ,My sons burger did have bacon and sauce in it After asked not to have either And my wifes chicken tikka was only just warm ,Both meals had to go back to the kitchen to be sorted out. Nearly two hours later we managed to leave the restaurant after only two courses. The next morning we had breakfast the service was a bit better lots to offer but they sill managed to get the full English breakfast wrong After writing down what was wanted. Only consulation was it was a unlimited breakfast..

Bear was flat tried 3 different ones all flat

Not dog friendly however while we were standing waiting to be told this some little brat ran past me and elbowed me in the stomach....not something a dog would do.

Good value as always, with server Nikita being fun, efficient and fast, making the difference between ordinary and special. Well done.

Went here for their buffet breakfast after staying in the Premier Inn next door. Assumed it would be the same setup as all others where you help yourself, it's quick and plentiful. We had booked the night before, which was encouraged by the hotel, which was fine. Got there and waited over 5 mins to get seated. The waitress was frantic, stressful, and on the cusp of rude. We explained we had booked but she said it doesn't matter. Took our payment for 2 adults. Kids were free. We were then seated and told we order off the menu, and there is at least a 30 min wait. I explained we wanted the buffet breakfast and was told you had to order from the menu for the cooked breakfast, and the fruit and toast were at the front only. We were staying here on the way through and didn't have time to wait over 30 minutes with a 5-year-old. We asked for a refund and left very disappointed and annoyed. We walked across the road for a mcdonalds breakfasts instead.

Decor looking very tired, restaurant furnishings looked worn out. Gents toilet smelly, urinal chrome water pipes hanging off the wall and floor soaked in "I don't know what". Would not visit again.

Alwful place ,so disorganised management we was a party of seven took nearly a hour to come take our order,meals arrived ours was missing waited over 40 minutes for them to arrive ,the excuse being they had burnt the toast for a club sandwich took nearly 40 minutes to do more!! Restaurant was empty filthy tables all around not one was cleared in nearly 3hrs of our party being there. Will not be returning.

Our waitress, Nikita, was a super star. She seemed to be running the front half on her own and did well with looking after our larger than average table. She was friendly and patient the whole time. A big asset to the business. Main meal of beer battered haddock and chips was good, but dessert of profiterole sundae was better 😋

Had a lovely lunch there yesterday with my sister and our 'last' living great uncle (now a youthful 94 years young)! Very much recommended! 😀👏👏👏

Couldn't fault the service, the waitress was rushed off her feet, but kept smiling and was very helpful all the time, it looked as if there was a shortage of staff. The portions of food weren't large, saw the mixed grill and realised I could have got through it. The car park is for 3hrs only, had to move my car as we were there for 4hrs. Noticed on the way into the parking area, that there was quite a large hole in the tiled roof. From the rear, the building resembled an old dilapidated barn.

We have always been very happy with the friendliness of staff and the food

Really love it a wonderful place to have lunch

A bit disappointing as the two meals we wanted on the menu they didn't have. We ordered something else which was OK! The lady who served us was very pleasant and attentive.

Lovely food and great staff - good attention paid to special dietary requirements too

A great place to go for breakfast, very helpful and happy service from our waitress.

Sunday roast was AWESOME. Huge plate of food. Fabbo. Staff are always so helpful. Lovely experience.

After 50min wait chicken roast dinner appalling so was fish pie I am afraid go down hill very quick

Completely spoilt our Father’s Day meal!! On arrival, we waited at least 6 minutes before anyone even acknowledged us. We were then shown to our table and waited a further 15 minutes before our drinks order was taken. Again, we then waited for the drinks to arrive at which point our food order was taken. By the time we received our food, we had been there waiting for an hour!! The food was cold and very disappointing. Again, we had another long wait for desserts and all in all, the whole experience had taken over 3 hours which meant re-registering the car because of exceeding the 3 hour time limit. Clearly, there were insufficient staff on duty to cope (as the restaurant was by no means excessively busy at the time we visited) and this really does need to be addressed by Management! Of the 5 tables around us, 3 tables returned food to the kitchen and our desserts, when delivered, were incorrect. Can only be described as a shambolic experience and one not to be repeated!!

Food was excellent, the staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. A bit difficult to find the car park if you don't know where it is

Service was a little slow mostly down to an overpowering Manager barking out her orders to staff that seemed quite capable of doing their job in the first instance.

Went last week for dinner. It was almost empty, perhaps 2 tables in use. Stood waiting to be seated. The barman said he would be with us in a minute. A staff member who had been chatting disappeared into the kitchen. We waited. Barman made 2 trays of drinks that remained on the bar. We waited. Barman disappeared into the back. We waited...decided that if it took that long to get a seat in an empty pub how long would food and drink take so gave up 😥

Food and service absolutely brilliant. Warm and welcoming staff. Best place for breakfast - and kids eat free! Highly recommend.

Had a meal there last night to celebrate my brothers birthday .Took ages to be served waited half a hour for a drink had a glass of diet coke that was watered down and flat got that replaced and the 2nd one was just as bad so left it .Food was awful would be enough to feed a child .bad service awful food go somewhere else if you want a nice meal go somewhere else we sure will .

Clearly understaffed, very slow poor service.

It was okay but limited choice for one of us

Been coming here for years but tonight had a really disappointing meal, my child's meal was more like a starter portion, the dessert I ordered was a profitarole sundae again ordered many times the whole glass was full of cream and only 3 profitaroles service has really gone down hill £61 later
