No estoy seguro de cómo describir este pequeño lugar. Más como una reunión familiar que un restaurante. Sin embargo, la comida (y el servicio) fueron excelentes. Un lugar perfecto para tomar un bocado a un precio razonable, especialmente si se dirige al O 2.

We have visited the Social Grill almost once a week for a while now and are never disappointed. The staff are wonderful, friendly and attentive. The vegetarian, vegan breakfasts are always delicious! They provide really impressive options for vegetarians and vegans in comparison to many other local cafes. Great portion sizes at a good price too. We cant fault our favourite breakfast place!

I love Social Grill - it is a little bit better than a more established and similar place just around the corner - and has the benefits of being licensed. Is this cheap or what? 2 perfectly poached eggs on sourdough or granary or white toast for £2.50 or an amazing full English breakast to die for, or I'm particularly partial to their Turkish eggs. Generous portions, excellent prices, lovely staff, superb lunches, homemade cakes and great dinners at the weekend. Best thing that's happened to Boscombe in years!

Just off Boscombe high street, quirky and fun with a very reasonably priced menu. I had 2 poached eggs on sourdough toast for £2.50 what a bargain! It can get very busy and noisy with small children, so not a place for quiet relaxation, but well worth a visit if you’re in the area.

Stumbled across this place on a sunny Sunday afternoon (our original intention was to try a Caribbean restaurant which was closed), and what a find this was! The kind waitress recommended the Sunday roast which was very tasty. Portions were really generous and a pint of beer washed it all down nicely. Shame not living in the area as this would have easily become one of my locals.

Three of us, one vegitarian had the full SG breakfast this morning. For myself and my son getting a good breakfast is hit and miss. Today was a hit. For my wife getting good Vegi breakfast is a real struggle. Not today, it wasn't a normal full breakfast with meat replacement, it was a whole new breakfast and delicious. Nice food guys !

Stumbled across this place during a bank holiday road trip and so glad we did. The staff are lovely, the selection of food is great with plenty of vegetarian options, the portion size is really good and price extremely reasonable. The place is a bit quirky but immediately felt welcomed and at home. Would definitely stop by again if we find ourselves in Boscombe in future.

We were visiting for new year and staying in Boscombe and at 8pm on a Sunday we went out to find some food. We saw tonnes of places-McDonalds, fried chicken, kebab etc that we didn't fancy and then we saw a small A frame advertising social grill and that it served food until 10pm. Perfect! We wandered down the side street not knowing what to.expect and what we found was a little gem.in Boscombe. I don't want to come across as ignorant but I think it's a Polish restaurant? The menu caters for all tastes including the veggie amongst us. Me and my boyfriend both thought it reminded us of a little backstreet gem you happen across on holiday- really gaudy Xmas decs, nobody else in there speaking English, a child crying somewhere out back and a discarded dolly on the bench. The food was a little slow in arriving, but other than that- wow! We both had a burger and they were delicious. The home made coleslaw was amazing and the portions were massive. We are so glad we happened upon this place. It's one of those great little places you remember!

We were ten guests at a reunion eating the Xmas Supper menu. Every single one of us said how amazing the Social Grill food is. Every part of every dish was super tasty. The chef did not add any of those heavy spices (chilli or pepper or garlic) that many other restaurants use to make a quick taste impression. And we were all impressed by the generous portions! So, then there's no room on the plate for vegetables and every person is served a second large side dish of fresh (not frozen) mixed seasonal veg! Well done,Chef. A nice touch with the interesting and generous quantity of Cheese & Biscuits is the extra walnut pieces and fresh slices of apple, celery and raw baby carrots. Lovers of desserts will be happy with the imaginative choices on offer. The coffee is a good roast. A big vote of appreciation to our waitresses. In spite of our group's noisy frivolity, they were attentive, helpful, polite, cheerful AND charming!

I love this place. I've been coming here for a year now and the food is consistently good, and the service (whilst not always perfect) is very good, and the staff always work hard to make sure they get it right. The atmosphere is really pleasant, and sometimes, like last Friday night, can be positively buzzing, with people drinking and live music creating a really upbeat environment. It's good for any meal, breakfast. lunch or dinner, and the strawberry frozen yoghurt 'milkshakes' are superb. Loads of other good food too, such as burgers, great omelettes, stews, sandwiches...I could go on, but you get the idea...

We visited this restaurant during a recent mini break to Boscombe on the 10th July. The restaurant was very busy as there was a birthday party in session , but they managed to fit us in and we weren't dissapponted with the food. My wife had the Ghoulash which was served with home made mash which she really enjoyed and I had the lambburger with Brie which was also very tasty. our waitress was very pleasant and dispite having to cope with a couple of annoying flies we still really enjoyed our food which wasn't too badly priced for the quality.

This place does the best vegetarian breakfast you’ve ever tasted. If you want meat it does that brilliantly too. Very big portions and good prices. Excellent coffee. Fast and friendly service. And on Sunday it does an amazing roast dinner. Or a delicious vegetarian burger with haloumi and avocado. Plus the best sweet potato fries you’ve ever tasted. Got to be a contender for the best restaurant in Bournemouth

Well prepared food here, using quality ingredients. The staff and the ambience make it an ideal local place to catch up with friends or to feel welcome when relaxing alone. I can personally recommend the coffee, crab sandwiches, lamb burger, fish, salads... and friends have never been disappointed with their choices. Nothing is too much trouble and the chef has proved more than competent in catering for specific dietary requirements such as (both) meat and lactose free. I have visited the Social Grill frequently and most recently for lunch with a friend when I decided it's about time I wrote a review.

What a great "hidden away" gem. I live in Boscombe and am proud to do so. People say horrid things and it's not cool. Boscombe is exciting and The Social is a fabulous place tucked away. I only had a beer to be fair but the fact they have movie nights on a Thursday is a big plus. This is a real locals place with some nice style twists. I will be back!

Service was a bit rubbish today and it's left me really annoyed. We ordered a vegan breakfast and a vegetarian breakfast and, after a fairly long wait, we were brought 2 plates of food that were not what we were expecting! A full English fry up (not vegetarian) and a meal that looked vegan but didn't look like the breakfast listed as there was couscous, kidney beans with olives but no sweetcorn and chickpea fritter. We questioned this and they apologised and went to take the full English away and go and make a new one. Not a great solution as then I would be eating my breakfast on my own while my partner waited for his to be cooked from scratch. As he is not vegetarian, but just didn't really fancy a full on breakfast, he offered to eat it instead of waiting and eating separately. We asked where the chickpea fritter was and whether my breakfast was right as it was so different from what was listed. They said they had run out of chickpea fritters so I had something different. No apology! And I had had to ask to get this information - nobody had come and said "I am sorry but we've run out of fritters but can we offer you couscous and kidney beans instead?" Because I would have said no! I didn't want cold couscous and cold kidney beans with olives along with my warm breakfast. We had been asked which bread we wanted from a selection of white, granary or sourdough, to which we both answered sourdough. When it arrived, after the pallaver with the breakfasts, it was granary rather than sourdough. We called the waitress back and asked "is this the sourdough?" To which she answered "yes!" It blatantly wasn't!! Was it embarrassment that they had got so much wrong?! But obviously they didn't care! No apology, nothing taken off the bill, just felt like we were being annoying questioning stuff. But really, it has totally put me off. It seems like a nice place, nice decor etc. But our experience was bad. I didn't enjoy my breakfast and didn't enjoy being made to feel fussy about wanting the correct order! Will stick to Boscanova in future.

Visited the Social Grill last week on an impromptu visit. Such a cosy place with friendly staff and good atmosphere. The evening menu for dinner starts at 6pm and we ordered some vino whilst perusing the menu. We enjoyed delicious halloumi and chicken skewers with roasted vegetables and an amazing burger served in brioche bun with pickles and a side order of bourbon sauce. . We had a side dish of sweet potato fries and a side dish of salad (spinach, avocado & apple)...(What is so amazing about this place is you can order a main dish together with a side dish for around £10)..you can have vino by the glass or bottle - and it is very reasonably priced. ...tap water is available in a glass decanter and this is gratis (no charge) - some places do actually charge for tap water! !)...we finished with some excellent black coffee. Overall this place is a real hidden gem. It is a breath of fresh air to find polite and courteous staff, excellent food and great service...Please do not be put off this place by any negative reviews or the fact that it is in Boscombe (actually tucked down sea road in a pedestrianised part) as it is awesome in more ways than one...In fact I have visited again for lunch and again encountered superb food and attentive friendly staff. ..big high 5 to the Social Grill...X

We stopped off here today, just for coffee /cake. We sat outside with our dog. The seating outside was comfortable and it was a pleasant, not too busy walk through just off the main shopping street of Christchurch Road. Inside the cafe looked very comfy and nicely furnished and decorated in an interesting,individual way.The coffee was reall full of flavour. As I am not able to drink milk (intolerance) I have my coffee black so appreciate a great flavour without it being too strong. This was perfect and my wife had a lovely Latte. Her Latte wasn't particualrly hot so she asked for a little hot water and they obliviged with a tea potful. She had a cake which she enjoyed and I had probably the nicest (home made) flapjack I've ever tasted. They offered some water fr our dog but we had taken our own. I was a little surprised when we came to pay the bill..........they only charged me £6 which seemed too little to me but the lady confirmed it was right for two coffees and two cakes. They were a very reasonable sized coffee too, not too small (they only do one size) A dry pleasant experience.And the two young ladies saving were very pleasant and friendly.
