Visited twice during our holiday, excellent coffee. Despite being really busy, we didn't have to wait long to be served or receive orders. Conveniently attached to Oceanarium and located on the beach front, it rarely got quiet but highly equipped to cope with a high volume of customers.

We have used this place frequently for the past couple of years, and have experienced mistakes by staff on several occasions, but today was the final visit. My wife placed an order which was wrongly delivered, and the waiter was apologetic and took away the food to have it replaced with what she ordered. This caused my wife to look at the bill and she noticed that she had been overcharged by 40p, which is not a fortune, but there is a principle here so she went to the desk to point it out and came back fuming at the treatment she had received, long story but she had eventually told them to forget it as they were making things difficult. As we were eating the manageress approached us, no apology, and told us the till didn't enable them to carry out a simple refund, which I told her was ridiculous. Some time later she walked up and slapped 40p in cash on the table saying, "here's the money from the till", again no apology, she simply stormed off. That was our last visit.

Very kind, polite & professional staff. Quick service, I ordered a chicken burger which was served within about 10 minutes. Tummy filling, couldn't even finish the entire burger to be honest. I've had chicken burgers from places elsewhere around the beach & I must say this was the best one so far. The burger patty was the right size, crispy & served with good quantity lettuce, tomato & mayo. Though mayo was less rich (watery), it gave the burger the perfect moisture. No onions added though. I had it as a takeaway but then decided to have it at the outdoor seating of the cafe with the best view of the beach. I've read reviews for this cafe from the past & from what I observed today, they have definitely improved a lot. Will definitely visit again if coming to Bournemouth.

Sat outside cafe waiting over 30 minutes for a panini to be heated and "squashed for whatever reason" with a very small amount of side salad. Chips came out after 45 mins as we went into ask what the hold-up was. A disabled person in wheelchair could not get through doors so they gave up. A man asked politely for water for his dog but was refused. There was litter and food blowing all around area so looked disgraceful, tables were not emptied or cleaned. We definitely would not return.

Asked for mug and his attitude was to slam a mug down and give a dirty look because we asked for mugs. Very rude. See the place dont shut till 5.30 ,so it wasnt as if we were keeping them back. !!!! Also had a attitude when another couple came in behind us for a drink. Surely that what they employed to do ( serve drinks etc !!!.he shouldnt be there if thats his attitude to customers.

We often visit the oceanarium as we have annual passes. Not eaten here before but had a very hungry toddler and my father was visiting and needed to eat too. The food was pretty awful, there was a long wait and the food came out barely warm, dry and appeared to have been reheated numerous times. We would have sent it back but my toddler needed to eat as did my dad (blood sugar medical reasons) We did see another table send the food back and ask for a refund. It’s such a shame as the staff were really friendly, the location is great with amazing beach views and they do really nice coffee. If we return we would only have coffee!

We were really disappointed with our experience here. There was a queue which was expected BUT while in queue, a staff member from the kitchen slammed a sign down regarding a half an hour wait, then commented to another member of staff about the rush. I shrugged it off as I worked in catering and know it's hard. We placed our order and was sent to sit and wait to be called for hot drink and food. During this time I realised id been iber charged nearly £7 and they "forgot" we had meal deals. I waited for the drink while obtaining a refund but nothing. When questioned they assumed I'd left. Anyway, we waited for the food which was within the 30 mins, but unfortunately all 3 hot dogs were barely warm, the buns were split in 2 parts making it difficult to eat and the food was served in boxes, rather than plates. I assumed there was a problem in the kitchen so never questioned it, but over all these things combined made it a really poor experience. The staff are lacking in customer service skills and we're clearly unhappy to be there. I never questioned anything besides the refund as I felt really uncomfortable even asking for a refund for an overcharge!

So the chips we ordered were nice but the waiting time was terrible. We waited 20 minutes for our chips. One man even waited 45+ minutes for his order (which was the same size as ours, 2 chip boxes). I understand that it is a busy place but it was very unorganised since people who ordered after us got food a while before us. Apart from that staff was friendly, chips were good and it’s a great view of the beach.

We stopped here because the boys wanted some lunch while on the beach and regretted it. The layout and the food was that of school canteen. The food was boring and flavourless and there were flies buzzing around us. I don't think one of us finished our food with a mix of baked potato's and sandwiches and snacks. I think this place is designed for a quick emergency basic sandwhich for kids coming out of the aquarium and nothing more.

We visited the offshore on our last day of our break away in Bournemouth. We wanted something quick so opted for their takeaway service which we were told would be a 5-10 minute break. We sat on the seating outside while we waited...20 minutes passed so i popped inside to ask how much longer we would have to wait, i was then told that our order never went through so they would organise our lunch right away... a further 20 minutes passed and after other customers receiving their food our food arrived, in baskets and not takeaway. I asked them to box it up for us to take it away which they did, however, when we sat on the beach to eat we realized we had been given the wrong order!!! I wouldn't normally complain seeing as the setting from the outside seating is gorgeous BUT when a member of staff who appeared to be the manager is sat outside chatting with a drink while the other staff run around is just not acceptable. A minimum 40 minute wait for what should have been 10 minutes is ridiculous. A very disappointing last bite in Bournemouth...

I come here often with my 2 year old son, we have membership to the oceanariums so get 20% off in the cafe. The food can be a bit hit and miss (depending what you order), but I always order the jacket potato with beans because it’s simply delicious! The best coleslaw I’ve ever eaten is served with it (need to find out where it’s from it’s so good) and my son usually has beans on toast. With my discount and 2 drinks it comes to around £8...a fab price! Food is always quick and tables are always clean. Sometimes the staff seem a bit frantic, however they are always very friendly and helpful! Makes our trip to the oceanariums even better. Glad to also see the introduction of paper straws finally!

Only 24 reviews for this venue ??? That is dreadful. Had afternoon tea here with my Mother and 2 friends - and everything brought was for 3 people - yet there was 4 of us. All the cakes were exactly the same and I am not in the habit of having 2 pieces of the same thing. Complete hash up with the tea , everything was wrong and not a soul to complain to. Invisible staff. Bad decor. Cheap cafe food and impropperly delivered by the kitchen staff who obviously were having a bad day. Appalling shame for Bournem,outh as I remember when this hotel was the best in town, but now with new Hiltons and maga bucks being invested in oither new superior hotels in Bournemouth, the Carlton will remain some place that once was a good venue but has now slipped way down in quality, style, service, food and even the bedrooms are below par - well below par.

Just ok. Food is not overpriced, unfortunately though we found it lacking in flavour...quite bland. Table servers and food servers were all really nice, a credit to this business. Definitely plenty of customers frequent the carvery, maybe just a bad day or quantity over quality. Will maybe try again next time I'm in the area.
