Lynton Court in Bournemouth

There are many places to eat in and around Bournemouth. But Lynton Court takes some beating. Fantastic food great value and friendly knowledgeable staff. Big thanks to Olivia Carl Maria and Mac. You made us so welcome on our 4 night break. Big thankyou to Silda for the breakfasts every day. Great place and a fantastic team. Thankyou

Great food excellent value. Friendly knowledgeable staff. Special thanks to Olivia Carl Maria Mac and Silda for brilliant breakfasts

Nice meal! Very friendly staff!

Stayed at the premier inn above this bar/restaurant and myself and my colleague decided to pop in for their 2 for £10 cocktails while waiting for a take away delivery. After walking in to a completely empty bar the bartenders ignored us for 5 minutes before finally asking how they can help. We asked for drinks menus to be provided 1 menu, the bartender was visibly annoyed when we asked for cocktails and told us they had zero garnish for any of the 3 different cocktails we had ordered…… Very disappointing service, no smile, bartender even told us he was p****d off at making cocktails half hour before close. We knew the closing time, we weren’t going to be in there long so there was no need for the attitude. Not a good experience, spoons would have been better!

Great staff very friendly and professional, the food is getting better by the minute and a pretty clean pub..

Puede que no sea glamuroso, pero la bienvenida es amable y la comida básica del pub es súper sabrosa. Gran gammon; deliciosa ensalada de pollo. Ensalada de frutas decente Ypumm 6 crumbleband. Comebrefularly para la comida relajada sabrosa cuando en Bournemouth trabajando.

Good value roast where you can go large, or bottomless for extra potatoes, yorkies and gravy. Recommend the cauliflower cheese. Our waiter worked his socks off. Only negative is food could have been hotter.

Gran desayuno esta mañana. Gran relación calidad-precio y un gran servicio. Cocinado a pedido y dispositivo con una sonrisa, justo lo que necesitaba

Fantastic breakfast this morning. Piping hot food served quickly and with a smile

Comida increíble y servicio fantástico de Karl que era amable, profesional y atención al detalle. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente.

He estado comiendo en este restaurante durante toda la semana debido a un viaje de negocios. Lugar en la cena y el desayuno cada vez. El personal siempre es muy servicial y con un saludo encantador. Créditos especiales para el personal que me cuidó... los encantadores tres Olivia, Carlos y Mac. ¡Gracias chicos!

Breakfast was amazing poached eggs were perfect service was great and very quick

Took my kids & grandkids for a meal in August, the food was top notch & served with a smile. Definitely recommend

Service is polite and quick ,very attentive staff.Restaurant is clean food is of good quality and quantity.Value is good,our server macawleigh was very polite and efficient

03/10/2024 My Mum and myself stayed at Lynton Court hotel, Bournemouth from Warminster, stayed the night after watching a show at the Bournemouth pavilion, Darren, Rabel and all of the staff at the hotel made us so welcome. There was a lovely selection of hot and cold food from the buffet, very tasty and we both left with full tummies. Thank you again Nicky and Penny room 14.

Myself and some friends came for breakfast today, our waitress silda was so friendly and accommodating to our needs the food and service was great thankyou 😋😋

Had beef pie chop and smothered chicken great very nice and hot 10 out of 10

We booked a table for 6:30 pm on Tuesday 1st October 2024. On arrival we were taken to a table in a very dimly lit area where we had to use the torches on our phones to read the menu! We didn't wait too long for our drinks order to be taken, but then it was a good while before someone came to take the food order. It was 7:30 pm before our main meal arrived at the table. We asked the waitress what the hold-up was and she said they'd had a rush of diners. Looking round the place, it wasn't that busy! We heard someone else comment about the long wait for food. I had selected the Thai green veg curry and it was very disappointing. The sauce was watery and the sweet potato was rather crunchy! Overall very mediocre food and service.

Slow service with food especially kfc

Came here for a birthday meal. Good value for money, food was lovely and Japh was the perfect host. He made us extremely welcome and my wife even received some chocolates and a card from the staff at Lynton Court wishing her a Happy Birthday,which was a really nice extra touch.

Great food and fantastic staff look out for Karl who is a very lively and funny lad who wants to be a train driver a very nice place to eat and stay

Ordered dinner, the chicken was burnt, they said they'd replace it but it never came having removed the chicken from my plate. Was given a free pudding but it not the best experience!

I ordered a Chicken Tikka Curry(Served with white rice, poppadom and mango chutney, with naan bread. My daughter ordered a Classic Beef Lasagne(served with a mixed salad & garlic bread). We were warned it would take 20 mins or so; but it was well worth the wait. Both dishes were very tasty and cooked well. Lisa, from Portugal, was just wonderful and attentive. Karl was a happy and caring character; and together they made our evening enjoyable. Hats off to the bearded manager behind the bar for serving the drinks! Fabulous Fellow.

I have been going to this place for about 10 plus years, always been happy with the service, pricing and the quality of food. Like to add at present the team at Lynton ct have never been better. A unique service that will make you feel relaxed as soon as you enter the door, their undevided attention will assure u off a great experience. Times I've been there, there great lengths to remember your names and past conversation and the food you last had...the food is great tasting and exceptional value...i would never hesitate to recommend the place....well done to the Lynton Court team

Brilliant place...the staff are amazing...such a good place to bring the family. The food is good value for money and delicious.

Good food, friendly staff, good location

Nice meal and atmosphere, helpful staff and reasonable prices

Had a great time with family. Just wanted to give credit to Maria and Karl for great service. They made us feel very welcomed and the food was really good.

Wish I could start this review on a positive but I'm struggling to find one. On arrival, we were shown to our table which was tucked away in the corner away from all other guests. We waited for around 20 minutes before we decided to go and get a waiter because no one had come to take our order. After taking our order we waited around an hour for our food to come out. When the food eventually came out it had multiple errors such as the wrong sauce with the salad and the wrong type of peas with the fish and chips. Furthermore, 1 dish had been “not printed out” meaning we had to wait a further 10 mins for that dish to come out and by that time most members of the table were nearly finished. Food itself was decent considering its cheaper price.

Friendly and outstanding staff, always make visitors welcome. Great service and a fantastic breakfast offer. :)

We have been going to table table at Baileys Bridge every Sunday for over a year for breakfast.We were absolutely gutted last Sunday to turn up and find out that it was no longer open for the general public. We didn’t think we’d find anywhere else to go as good as Baileys Bridge, but we heard that Jorge had moved over to Lynton Court table table, as Jorge had always been friendly, polite, welcoming and nothing was ever too much, we thought we’d give it a go! When we arrived we were greeted by Carl he was polite friendly and made us feel very welcome!,Carl took our order and brought us our cooked breakfast, he was very attentive constantly checking if we were okay and if there was anything else that we needed! We had an unlimited cooked breakfast and Continental, the fruit salad was fresh and very tasty, lots of choice of teas coffees and fruit juices, also cereals, different types of bread and spreads also muffins croissants.The food was absolutely delicious! The prices are very competitive !We will definitely be going back every Sunday and highly recommend paying them a visit! We hope that like us lots of regular members of the public that used to go to Bailey’s bridge will pay a visit to Lynton Court! Thankyou Jorge and Carl for your hospitality we will definitely be coming back every Sunday!

Unfortunately the first breakfast the chef 👨‍🍳 wasn't in so no hot breakfast.... Second day was good 👍🏿.... Professional and friendly staff and service....

Nice food, pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff.

Below par pub food that was obviously all heated from frozen.

Came here on the 28th May for breakfast thought we would try it for breakfast as a family me my partner and our kids as they advertised (kids eat free) came about 9.45am restaurant had 2 tables eating breakfast in there we stood by the checking table next to the bar and waited to be told sorry we can't and haven't got space and have we have ran out of everything on the breakfast menu!!!! Our kids were very disappointed as they were very excited to go for breakfast after a long Bank Holiday weekend. I have live down the road amd have poped in a few times for a drink, I think this was very disappointing and disgusting as soon.as we left there was 2 other family's going in there to have breakfast from the premier in!! If you advertise for breakfast and specially on a Tuesday when all suppliers and delivery's are back to normal after Bank Holiday.

The team at the Lynton Court are fantastic! Friendly, jolly and pleasant they welcome us on a regular basis. Nothing is too much effort, good quality food and an enjoyable environment. When we have visitors coming to Bournemouth we know that at the Lynton Court they will be served with a smile and treated like a VIP. Thank you for all you do to support us, HealthBus Team! x

Delicious tasty food and drinks. We came there three times with my wife for dinner. The service was wonderful. Matt and Ellie welcomed us with smiles. Ellie is definitely talented in the art of serving customers and making them feel comfortable! She took very good care of us and was attentive to our needs. PS: a possibility for improvement would be slightly cleaner tables as it was a bit greasy and sticky.

Food was ok. My chicken was dry and the chips were burnt and hard. Other friends enjoyed their meals.

Not a bad restaurant, esp if you're staying in the immediate vicinity. The food wasn't bad, however, my steak was cold inside, a side effect of having a blue steak. They did sort it quickly and didn't affect the rest of the meal. The kitchen did close at 2130, a little earlier than expected, so had to rush a pudding. Generally a normal Whitbread chain experience.

Had Premier Inn breakfast here. One full one continental breakfast. Full English was fine but no buffet, had time wait for it to be cooked. Continental was OK but nothing special

Food was horrible not as good since changing of management not worth the money at all

Had a lovely meal here this evening. I stayed locally and came across here whilst venturing. Tilly who served us was really lovely and recommended my main, which wasn't a disappointment! Chicken wings were crispy, thai curry was lovely with a good kick and the burger was on point! Great value for money! Quick and friendly service! Whats not to enjoy!

So 2nd may came for a meal a few of us did and this was first time I been and what a big disappointment it was well kids Mac & cheese if that's what U wanna call it was disgusting no taste to it what so ever my boy didn't eat it and my girl didn't and they normally demolish pasta really was not worth the price I paid for it even tinned Mac & cheese from Tesco etc tasted better and I never like that either,so it was first time I been and will be the last also heard from people food gone downhill since changed management

We have eaten at Lynton Court three times as it is the most convenient establishment to an area we stay in once or twice a year. The staff are friendly and service is quick. The food is tasty enough for the kind of fayre that it is. This time, unfortunately, all of the cocktails were unavailable (we had looked forward to having one!) and a mistake was made with one of our dishes (chips instead of mash, but it wasn’t a problem). The dessert was lovely and all three courses were done in an hour or so, which was what we needed before getting ready for an event.

Excellent service from Tilly, Amy and Matt Very friendly and chatty. Food excellant. Lovely premier inn. A little tired looking from the outside but lovely and friendly.

Needs a good old clean!! Popped in there on our way back from walking the dog. Sat out in the front garden area. My partner showed me a photo of the loos he used and we were soon shot off without placing a order. Wasn't busy. Honestly I was to scared to go in.

My partner and I fancied a drink and some food for lunch so thought we’d give here a try. All I can say is that the food was delicious and the service was amazing. We’ll definitely be back

Decided to go out for lunch with my partner and decided to go to Lynton Court. The service was excellent and the food quality was amazing. I went for the chicken combo and my partner had the fish and chips. Will definitely be back again

Not bad, the service was not good, people were waiting 45 mins for their meal. When you got the food it was good.

So sad to see that such a lovely place like that has a rude manager. Yesterday Thursday, 18th April they wouldn’t wait on us. We are 6 people from Italy and we’ve been dining there for 2 weeks. We had to wait from 7.00 pm to 8.20 before being served because they said “ we hadn’t reserved a table” so they served us dinner after all the guests had left the restaurant. Maybe they wanted to respect Italy’s tradition of dinner at 8.00? On top of that, when we complained the manager didn’t apologise but just found all sorts of excuses like blaming the waitress. She was simply doing her job and serving the customers. That was not nice of him at all……….

Food was nice and good value for money, especially as they offer emergency services discount. The decor is lovely. Update: Apr 24 Sadly had a less positive experience on our 2nd visit: lots of menu choices unavailable, including the entire cocktail menu. The service was very slow, although the servers were nice and polite.

Decor old and tired , hygiene left a lot to be desired especially the very impressive cob web in ladies toilets. And it was a really cold temperature in the building. Food average ,poor quality ingredients On a positive staff very warm and welcoming but clearly under staffed .

The food was fairly priced Not accurate on the description portions are small. Even the smother platters are small. We had 2 courses First the mains come out (3 of us) One gets dropped on the floor Other 2 meals are missing bits Puddings come out The banoffe cheesecake advertised with a Carmel sauce comes out covered in chocolate sauce I wouldn't have ordered it I don't like chocolate sauce and we wasn't asked if an alternative was ok The brownie isn't advertised with nuts Yet contains them. The only good thing to be honest was the gent on the bar was very bubbly happy polite The lady waitress was less than interested like she would rather be anywhere than there We wasn't allowed to sit in the restaurant had to sit in the pub yet there was plenty of empty tables Masses of them in the restaurant I'd not be in a hurry to return

Lovely place, good food but hopelessly understaffed. People leaving or being turned away as only 2 staff between bar and restaurant. The staff were magnificent considering the pressure. At least 3 needed and for one extra could have handled more tables and taken more. Definitely some customers will not be back.

Enjoyed a lovely Roast dinner here today. Total of 4 people all had Roast which was cooked very nicely, good size portions and very competitively priced. Special thanks to Klaire and Maria for their fantastic customer service. They were both very friendly, welcoming and couldn't do enough to help. Nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely be back again soon!

Received a very warm welcome from Claire and all her colleagues and it was lovely to be remembered from our previous visits.Excellent menu choice and we loved the Sunday Roast today ( turkey for me and beef for my husband .). Nothing is too much trouble and we feel valued as customers.

Very Good service .Food was flavoursome.

Don't bother tonight as there is only one chef on and unless you are staying at the prem you will be turned away.

Lovely little restaurant, the food arrived quickly and was hot, tasty and good value. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Would recommend 👍

Very nice meal here. Actually first Table Table restaurant that we've had good service at .

Service here is friendly however the food and atmosphere let it down a little. Could do with a revamp as it can feel quite dark sat in the restaurant part.

We’re regular visitors, weekly. Always enjoy the curry and try something new off the main menu and kids, never disappointed. Tasty and good portions. Very helpful with allergies and remember us. Staff are so friendly and welcoming. Klaire is lovely.

Thank you Jaffa, Ellie, Matt and Recardo for making my son's 7th Birthday really special, the food was amazing and all the staff where great. THANK YOU 😊

We had a great time here and the staff are very friendly

Everyone I met made me feel like a regular despite it being my first visit, the only names I got were the amazing Jade, Ellie, Claire and Mel, class 😀

Empty restaurant but we had to chase the staff to take our order.

Party of 10 pre booked as we have every year for a few years now on New Years Eve Did not have a table of 10 we we offered a table of 8 in one room and a table of 4 in another room. This was by a female manager. She most unhelpful. We had to move table and chairs ourselves as apparently they are not allowed to do it. Also the restaurant was practically empty, far emptier than we had ever seen it. Our waitress was lovely prompt and professional Sadly the food was not a great hit on all counts My father’s toast dinner with a gourmet chicken was awful. The veggie style chicken was like a brick. He was missing his mashed swede and honey roast parsnips that we had to ask for. His brussel sprouts looked so old and his carrots looked dry My mixed grill was ok but sadly mine and my son’s steak was requested rare but both came well done. The room we were in was in a corner on it’s on away from the rest of the restaurant and it was freezing. The radiator under the window was stone cold. When I asked about the heating I was told well it’s on. I explained it wasn’t in the room we were sat at. Half of our table ate their meal with our coats on The rest of the meal was ok When o explained the issues we had incurred during our meal there was an apology from our waitress (even though the manager was stood right next to us). No offer of a discount or voucher or free deserts to make up for ALL the short fallings. We spent roughly £140 between us all and I feel that we did not get our moneys worth

Superb place to eat and it's chep,highly recommended 👌 👍 😀

Very friendly staff, pretty decent food (though the Christmas pudding was a let down!), they made an effort with the Christmas decorations but probably needed someone with a more artistic eye in charge of that!

I've enjoyed a lovely vegetarian lasagna, followed by a rich cheese cake and coffee. Here is a flat white with my beloved Omega

Staff are always cheerful and always helpful

Not the best all you can eat Premier Inn breakfast

I will give 5 stars for the excellent staff and food was freshly cooked and piping hot. I will say though to the management that I think it is very unfair to the hardworking staff that they were very understaffed on the day we visited for breakfast.

I'm local, thought I would take my partner out for birthday dinner. Got to Lynton court at 7.45pm and put in food order. Waited till 9.30pm then told no order shown and kitchens shut. No knives and forks all tables full of last persons plates. No sauces. Then abused by staff for asking for money back. Guy in red shirt dark hair and beard didn't care at all. Kept drinking cola whilst having conversation bout money refund. Will NEVER visit again. Another local customer had same problem. We are astonished at staff reaction and lack of help. Great Birthday dinner guys, was only burger and chips, but guess that was too much for kitchen. Not one update or apology on food being not just late but closed kitchen on us. I hope during winter months you realise us locals and word of mouth help your business. But I guess your staff think otherwise.

Walked in Wednesday 25th July afternoon for a drink to find nobody behind the bar serving apart from a guy who ignored me apparently was off duty. Whan I asked where are the bar staff he said he had no idea so I Walked out. Atrocious service and pig ignorant idle staff if you can find any.Avoid this place definitely would not recommend.

Excellent service and food. The name of our waiter was Carlos, very friendly and funny made us feel welcome. Highly recommend

Excellent service etc. One error, room 17 has a heating system that is permanently cold, and no one came to fix it.

Sadly the thing that let's this place down is Breakfast, really weird setup that doesn't really work very well, not self serve apart from the continental and on our last day, my partners poached egg was uncooked also only one member of staff serving so if there are many tables then there will be a wait if people order seconds. In contrast, our evening meal we had on New Year's Day was very nice.

Great food, very friendly staff

Oh dear. Family of 6 for a meal. All ordered steaks or combos. Well done. This does not mean cremated. As it was served. A total waste of over £200... Get a chef that can cook steaks. This place is a joke. No wonder it was so quiet

Busy but service was good. Had the steak pie. Lovely

I had a good time with friends, we got drinks and some food to share, which was gorgeous. I would very much recommend as a place to eat

Nice vegan options and very friendly staff.

Pub next to a busy street. You can go there for a drink!

New team member Ellie is excellent Very welcoming and attentive Really made a difference to our meal Thank you

Very clean and excellent service

Good service and friendly helpful staff, wasn't too busy and food was good. Breakfast was very nice with a good choice

Such a friendly place. Food was great and the staff were amazing. Nothing was too much trouble. Haven't eaten out in such a lovely place for a long time. 🍔☕🍷🍺😃

Good points to start in the interest of fairness - All front of house staff were friendly and accommodating - San Miguel pints were coming out nice and crisp and lively - Clean toilets We were a group of 11 and spontaneously decided to go out for a roast (I often cook at home but fancied a weekend off). Conscious that we were a large group and hadn't booked ahead, we asked if we could be accommodated for a roast and the waitress assured us that was fine. The restaurant was not busy, but could have been earlier that day. Once seated we were informed the beef had run out, but there was turkey or gammon. When we went to order the one veggie roast was also unavailable the waitress kindly arranged to swap a different vegetarian menu item onto so the veggies in our party could still have a roast with the trimmings. The roasts came out on cold plates in a very staggered manner. The food wasn't very hot so people with food started eating straight away. By the time the last dish was served, two people had finished eating. The food itself was really really bad. -Roast potatoes were definitely the frozen kind -Parsnips were somehow simultaneously dry and greasy at the same time. Also frozen. -Peas and carrots boiled dry Yorkshires looked half decent but a bit burnt. But we each only got about 25ml of gravy so they weren't really redeemable. We asked for more gravy but they ran out so got about a thimble full more. Several people had ordered 'large' roasts on the proviso that these came with unlimited trimmings, but these run out too and no alternative was offered. One member of the party had his food taken off the bill as his had gone cold by the time it was established no gravy was coming (I don't know why they couldn't just get bistro from coop over the road??). I usually cook Sunday roast for our group. It's in a small kitchen and I'm often two bottles of wine deep by the time its served. Even so If my food was as bad as it was today I honestly would cry. I think if I had complained today, the manager would have reduced the bill, but honestly it was so bad I was embarrassed for them. Have just eaten a pizza at home instead.

Such a lovely friendly experience.I has warmly and graciously shown to my table by Brisilda.Shortly afterwards Saverio took my Sunday lunch order with equal panache and warmness.My lunch was delivered piping hot with lots of tasty gravy, crispy roasties and extremely tasty cauliflower cheese.Chef Tim excelled with presentation and tastes. Thank you all

Excellent staff and food we booked for the wrong day by accident but the staff still accommodated us.Service was very quick and food was superb.Restaurant was clean and staff were very helpful and friendly would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants a great experience.

Typical Premier Inn steak house/restaurant, really polite staff, good basic food , the furniture could do with an upgrade.

Stayed in the premier inn next door for 3 nights. Arrived on the Friday evening after a long journey from west wales dumped our bags & went straight down to the restaurant we were greeted by the lovely Olivia nothing was to much trouble she was so helpful & friendly. The next morning we went down to breakfast & this time greeted with a good morning from Stuart who took our order & brought our coffee, then he came back to tell us there was a delay as the chef hadn’t turned up so Stuart then went into the kitchen & cooked us an amazing breakfast. Lynton Court you have two amazing members of staff.

We were a group of 23 celebrating a family birthday the food was great we had to pre order due to size of group honestly we weren't expecting too much just happy to all get together but we had a brilliant time mainly due to a fantastic member of staff Olivia she is very professional an extremely well organised the whole group recognised how good she is an we gave her a round of applause just as she finished her shift definitely recommend large group booking here but you must request Olivia

4 stars for brilliant friendly, efficient service & really good Sunday roast, added cauliflower cheese as an extra, beautifully made with a proper sauce then grilled to a golden colour, not bad at all

As a long standing local customer the quality of the food has dropped considerably over the past two years. I used to really enjoy coming here but recent visits and again today have been extremely disappointing.

I took my son to breakfast this morning. We had a great server Stuart. My son has various difficulties and disabilities with speech. Stuart spoke to him, checked on us, had my son engaged with various snippets of conversation.The food was great, good selection of fresh croissants and bakes, cereals, yogurts, well continental bits... cooked breakfast was really good mynson especially loved the scrambled egg.Great place, have to visit again for breakfast... lunch... dinner... Parking is great, and access is all on one level soy son liked this and wad able to see small areas at a time instead of one big open space.Overall love it!

Food was okay, service not really, we were waiting long for everything even was no busy around.

Stayed at the Premier Inn for 2 nights, had breakfast twice which was lovely. Very friendly place, staff very attentive, especially Stuart on morning two of our stay. He made sure that we had everything we needed and although most of the food was self-service, he provided fantastic table service with our drinks. He kept my twins entertained. Lovely food, lovely staff. Definitely coming back in our next stay.

Great customer service and food. We stayed at the premier inn and had dinner and breakfast here. Lovely food. also a specific mention to Stewart and Olivia who were fab with my 3 children at breakfast they were so attentive and real assets! Great food and great customer service. 10/10
