Sweet Home Inn in Poole

Beers off. No thumper or fursty ferret, best ran out, and one of our party was served a pint a third full of sediment which should never have been served. Staff lack product knowledge. No knowledge of our booking. The food was ok, but one pudding still frozen in the middle. Not a pleasant visit

Brilliant hosts excellent food.

Amazing roast and desserts. Service a little slow and had to ask for drinks that were forgotten but putting it down to short staff as pub was pretty packed and we were a table of 9. Would recommend and definitely go back

I had the roast lamb Shank 😋 best roast I have had in quite a while 👌👍

Nice local, good choice of beers

Best roast ever very friendly staff and under new management food was excellent will all be back very clean pub and excellent service from start to finish

Stopped over for a night in our motorhome as it's a pub stop over, nice and close to the ferry port. Food not as advertised, no home cooked traditional pub food, more like fast food... rough and ready! No real choice unless you like burgers etc. Only one other table eating, not surprising, lot of local young guys in drinking, loud and boisterous, so little intimidating. Right next to a road so lot of traffic noise through the night. Unfortunately not one I'll be stopping at again.

My niece booked a table for 7 on the 18th July, for lunch with friends on the 14th August for 12.30. 4 of us arrived just begire 12.30. Empty pub. Loud beat music blaring out!! Said name an time booked for. Barman looked confused, said not right as they didn't start serving food til 3 o'clock!!! Showed him booking and confirmation on phone, went away, came back few mins later, no sorry no food til 3!! We left, and shan't be returning!!!

Came to watch England V Spain. Very well organised event. Friendly staff. Superb outdoor screen. I'll definitely be visiting again..

Good barman good vibes lovely beer garden at the back on a steep hill. Wouldn't want to traverse drunk af though lol. Had chicken burger and fries came with a selection of sauces and big portions was very nice. Poole table in pub, prices maybe a little on the pricey side

What a shambolic night watching the Thursday night England game, how did it all go so wrong since the last time the Euros were on? You would have thought that from seeing the amount of horrible failures made on the Sunday night game that cause half the of the pub to leave at half time would have encouraged the manager to make massive improvements. The complete lack of staff and organisation meant that peoples night had been ruined by something which was so simple to fix. Queues of over an hour to get a drink is frankly ridiculous which then blocks the views of others trying to watch the screen. The lack of organisation from whoever was in charge could have caused a serious injury with the decking collapsing due to poor preparation from them. The amount of money that they would have lost due people not getting served would have been crazy. Such a shame a big event like this turned out to be a massive disappointment.

Really poor experience watching the football here. Complete disregard for customers who wanted to watch the game. Queuing for over 40 minutes because they wanted to take £2 cash as entry fee, causing many to miss large portions of the game. Photo was from 15 minutes into the game, it wasn’t a capacity issue as they all eventually got in, a negligence issue. Once in, no initiative at all in terms of serving customers - why not set up a makeshift bar outside, or take more staff on. Took over 45 minutes to get a drink. Recommend you watch the big euros games elsewhere. Shame as it’s a nice big screen.

Probably the rudest land lady I’ve ever met 😅🥲

Good catch up with friends, service wasnt bad, expensive cider though

A nice pub and karaoke evening .

Nice enough.pub. pool table and lovely garden

Great pub with darts pool table and food very friendly chap behind the bar called Jordan who makes you feel very welcome I highly recommend this place

Needed an overnight campervan stop for an early ferry. Phoned ahead and Jordan was super helpful, booking us in. On arrival he advised us best place to park. We popped in later for a few beers. Nice house lager and the dog was served fresh water and treats. Great service at a very friendly pub.

The barman Jordan was especially friendly and attentive to our orders with a wide knowledge of drinks and very friendly and approachable will definitely be back soon

Jordan in the sweet home innn absolutely lovely man, always going out the way to keep everyone happy and always serving with a smile! Appricate everything he does here and an absolute legend

Came in with the football team as usual and Jordan’s service was second to none. He went out of his way to buy and provide food for the whole team. Which all the locals enjoyed with us. Great service. Much appreciated

Jordan in the sweet home innn absolutely lovely man, always going out the way to keep everyone happy and always serving with a smile! Appricate everything he does here and an absolute legend

Been awhile since we had been in for a roast. Didn't disappoint. Great home cooked roast. Plenty of it and lots of gravy. We will def be back. Good friendly service and dog friendly.

Celebrated a family members birthday while the pub had a karaoke night Great atmosphere and service and the effort the management and staff went to make everyone feel so welcome and even decorated the place for the celebrations too 5*

Arranged a catch up with the family meal for 21 of us we pre ordered our food and it ran smoothly with only a couple of hiccups , staff were friendly and very accommodating. Food was good old fashioned home cooked style so plenty of it ! Well done to the team and not to forget the chef ( fantastic steak pie + whitebait ! )

Amazing. Food beautiful atmosphere beautiful. Nice to have a wholesome pub run by caring landlords that would do anything for you. The new menu is inspired them. I cannot wait to try it. So wonderful to walk in to a place where I can speak to children woman puppies young and old eat great food and gear the most beautiful voices over a kareokee. This is a pub worth spending time in. The irony of the name... The sweet home inn. I can't wait to visit again.

We arrived at Poole too early to check in at our hotel so stopped at The Sweet Home Inn. It was just after 11am opening so much too early to get a real feel for it. It is a large traditional pub and felt family run. Halloween decoration was underway. Food menu was interesting and inviting as was the pub, even though we were the only customers at such an early time. We must go in the evening sometime.

Popped in for a few drinks on a Friday night, it happened to be karaoke night and was such a good night. We even got free shots at the bar. Thankyou to the amazing staff.

Very friendly when new menu is ready will definitely go again lovely clean restaurant 😋

Lovely Pub with lovely food. Great atmosphere with friendly staff and locals. Very clean and will definitely come back again soon.

Called in for a drink found that a two course lunch was £12.95 had Garlic Mushrooms and Fish and Chips top quality home made batter large portion and great value I highly recommend

fantastic family atmosphere, plenty of parking, very friendly staff well worth a visit

Used to be a great pub, until I got charged by a man (ginger man) for a pint of blood orange thatchers for £6.50 a pint, after he got funny about IDs (I’m 24) would avoid.

Busy, bustling local pub. Friendly staff and regulars. Dogs allowed. Good music venue.

Great local pub, live entertainment sports bar. Pool table darts. Sport TV. Nice pub garden big screen sports TV

Great place with an outside bar and tv in the summer.

Nice fam friendly pub, large outdoor area if it sunny or sport is on

booked this for meeting with colleagues with intent of eating table booked via their website on Friday for following Monday. arrived Monday to say we had booking to be told they have no Chef and there is no food today. the web page says food served and no feedback from table booking to say no food that day. if we had known we would have gone to pub down road . sadly we will be using other pubs along the road for future regular meetings was not impressed at all.

First time visited, two couples plus dog. Sat in the pub garden enjoying the weather. Ordered food which was freshly cooked, looked and tasted delicious. The toilet facilities were found to be really clean, impressive, usually pub toilets are not the nicest of places these were a delight to use. The bar area felt and looked clean. As for the staff they were welcoming and friendly will definetly return. Thank you for an enjoyable lunch.

Brilliant find delivering in to ryvita following morning first 2 drinking establishments were shut so found this nice pub. Quality tanglefoot at it best. Pleasant staff and customers. Even if I got caught out for a chat but he was harmless and friendly. Usually chill out on my own accord but always nice to talk to someone

Had a lovely blood orange cider whilst my friend had a Coke very nice beer garden to the rear dog friendly so long as the dogs are on a lead only thing I would say is it is quite steep and although I have a disability it didn't stop me but it might be more challenging for some with the more severe disability than myself all in all a very pleasant hour and a half spent

Finally started doing food! Great garden. Staff friendly.

Lovely little place, fantastic pints.

Very nice clean and tidy and the food is very nice good atmosphere

Great pub and friendly staff. Under new management the pub is very clean, the food is amazing and it's a dog friendly pub.

Had a wonderful Sunday Lunch at this pub. Great presentation and great good. Don't hesitate to book. Also had a mid week lunch there too. Best homemade leek and ham pie I have had in a long time. Pastry was out of this world.

Just moved into the area and have discovered the Home Sweet Inn, deffo going to be a regular, haven't sampled the food yet, but saw the Sunday Roast and it looks delicious, will definitely be sampling the food.

Friendly helpful and food good. New owners working hard to bring pub back to life.

Lovely, dog friendly garden atmosphere. Shame no food yet. Feb 2023 most amazing home made roast - best I've had locally for years! Booked to go back already

Lovely staff and great atmosphere! Had a fantastic chat with the manager, looking forward to returning and seeing what she's accomplished 😁

Called in for a quick pint, enjoyed, clean environment. The pub is split into two separate bar areas, large beer garden

Very lovely service and delicious food 😋

Will definitely be back good set up in the garden 👌

Brilliant atmosphere and good variety of beer although pricey

Lovely people new tenants are cool .

Thank You for Guinness :-) Lovely Place ♡ Nice and Tidy Place inside and outside. 10/10 Awesome Dogs :-D Thank You one more Tine. Cheers 🍻

Visited on a Saturday night, the bar closed before 2200. There was no last orders, no informal warning, asked for a subsequent order and the barman said they were closed. It was quiet and no wonder, when customers have to guess when the bar might close. Sort yourselves out!

Lovely pub with live music every week, fb the best source to see times and who is playing. Super friendly staff. Beautiful location with onside affordable camping, we will be back.

Great beer garden. Nice choice of beer. Friendly welcome

Friendly land lord. 3 big dogs. Large outdoor space with outside sky sports screen. Can't comment on food as we didn't eat there.

Nice place to enjoy a cold drink and music in the sun

Okay casual pub but very pricey £4.10 for a coke is a rip off

Superb garden bar, with plenty of seating. 👍👍

Big beer garden if it's a sunny day

Excellent pint and the music was fantastic

Nice garden to sit and enjoy a drink in the sun. Friendly staff. Very clean and tidy. Nice local pub.

Great staff, great 🍻, love dogs and allow overnight parking for campervans

Went in for the the new Sunday roast. Was fantastic. All cooked to order and very good. Really good service as well. Felt so welcome We had a table for 8 including 3 kids. We All had a lovely time. Will be going back for more

Good local for sport and live music on Sundays

After visiting this pub for a few years. Today visited and was met with a very bad welcome. What was a dog friendly pub with great staff now is not welcoming and is run by a landlady who takes over a table for 6 people while paying customers stand. If your dog drinks out of a bowl you get a dirty lock and when ask why get told dogs not welcome in pub.

Great party. Did not know that it closed at 10pm.

Lovely grub, good beer happy and friendly staff, great outdoor space, lively a d energetic place to be

Outside bar, live music and dog friendly what more?

Nice pub, friendky helpful staff, no food as yet.

Nice beer garden with screen or sport

Unwelcoming, staff were rude!!!!!!

A friend of mine has recently moved near to this pub. At about 9pm on a Saturday night we decided we’d pop in and try it for a drink. The doors were open & there were people inside yet once we walked in we were told the pub had closed (what kind of pub closes at 9pm on a Saturday night?). So it was very unwelcoming and rude. We just wanted a nice drink. Seems decidedly dodgy as there were other people in the bar.

They've really made a great effort with the outdoor space and it's an ongoing project. With a few nice plants it could be fantastic in a few months. Always nice staff.

Nice pint. Very friendly host and customers

Fantastic friendly pub...very relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Dog friendly and big beer garden. Mark and Ali are a great couple and the bar staff are attentive,well mannered and friendly. Highly recommended for a chilled afternoon drink. We will be back 😉

We visited this pub as a group to watch the football recently. It was nice sat in the sunshine drinking in the refurbished beer garden. We had table service for drinks and had noticed on more than one occasion that staff had took orders and payment but not delivered the drinks. While the staff did put their hands up to having done this, I would strongly recommend that you don't pay for anything you have not received. We thought that overall the prices for drink was a little more than we'd have expected and that shots were rather expensive too. I had heard people from various tables outside of our group complaining that an individual member of staff was very rude towards customers. Personally I felt there was one particular member of staff working very hard while several others were dragging their heels. Overall I think there is work to be done by the staff to keep the customers returning and that it was nice to see some life here as a pre covid visit had a different feel to it.

Very nice pub good bar staff friendly

Excellent out door area, friendly staff and great atmosphere! Dog friendly too!

Avoid, unless you enjoy the company of customers who get utterly legless then get in their car and drive off.

Fantastic pub 👌great staff excellent choice of food and drinks

My friends and I had spent a lovely afternoon in the outdoor seating area until we tried to use the toilets. My friend is asthmatic and we were refused entry as she didnt bring her exemption certificate, but it was absolutely fine for the outdoor staff to go inside without a facemask, the rude blonde woman who is apparently sister of the owner wasnt wearing one either! This wouldve been fair enough if she wasnt trying to then cause a scene, when my friend then asked to borrow another friends mask she made a comment about how she clearly cant be that asthmatic if she’s putting the mask on and called her a slag!! Disgusting way to speak to someone. We then went back to the table and told the story to a friend when the ‘sister’ walker by and said ‘oh yeah youre still going on about it’. We very promptly gathered our belongings and left. Massive shame as the pub and atmosphere seems great but will not be returning with my money to a place run by a chav who speaks to customers in such a manner.

Great beer garden. Great service

Would be curious to know the motivation of closure so prematurely in contrast to average pubs in the local poole, Dorset proximity.... Also drinks a bit pricey tbh, these limitations do not diminish the welcoming yet fun atmosphere plus the great piano is always a little giggle after a few. (If you know what I mean ;) ) Service was lovely.

Good service, good beer.....but very expensive..typical H&W

Nice atmosphere. Great service.

The sweet home Inn..a gem of a place!! Don't be put off by the horse and carts tied up to the lamposts outside..the poor simple buggers mean no harm.. cracking beer garden..big screen..get on down there!!

Four of us visited this pub last week to catch up. We had a bottle of Oyster Bay sauvignon blanc and two pints of lager which came to £26+. We decided to return this week and the same drinks order was £34+. We asked why the big difference and were told that the bottle of wine had gone up! What!? By £8!! There is no justification for this massive increase. Pure greed! We definitely will not be returning.

lovely dog friendly pub with a pool table and dart board, outdoor bar with a stage for live music. non smoking area available, been extremely busy during the easing of covid restrictions so get a space early and order plenty first time round so you're not waiting as low staff + loads of pints to pour = long waits.

So much potential, mismanaged. We arrived early to secure a table and before long the benches were all filled. Sadly the same could not be said for our pint glasses. You could be seen sooner in A&E on a Friday night than be served here. Overall, great location in the sun, with good live music. Hydrate well before arrival and BYOB. It’s a long wait.

4 hours we spent here and we were served 1 pint. After waiting 1 hour for a beer they closed the bar and didn't even tell us. I wouldn't bother xx

A genuinely very good pub and diner. Exceptional garden bar, live outdoor entertainment when permissible, ideal type of staff and Landlord, fresh, clean, and proper! That's it!

Very welcoming friendly atmosphere

Great pub with inside and outside bar friendly staff good locals plenty of seating for busy nights only been once but would happily go again

What a great job they have done making an outdoor bar and music area. Love it.well worth a visit. Live music 4 till 6 Fri. Sat.and sun.

Lovely pint(s)of Guinness, live music; what more can you wish for. 👍🏻
