The Commodore in Bournemouth - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Went here for lunch today. The staff are lovely, warm, friendly and accommodating. Was pleasantly surprised to find both vegan and gluten free options on the menu. Affordable prices from a wide range of food. Also lovely to experience seeing that dogs are warmly welcomed. Highly recommend a visit!

A great pub with a sea view, worth popping in.

We had a decent meal here, was nice to be close to the sea and the staff were very friendly. Thank you

Didn't actually stay here in a room overnight so hard to rate however based on the decor inside and out, the most unhelpful staff and the price of the TWO DRINKS we had (especially for a green king chain) were the same price as what they are the serene sobo bar ON the beach which is absurd! Yes this is the on the cliff top but not on the actual beach so why am I paying £20 for TWO drinks! Every other green king chain such as skyglass and kettle and the Cranleigh are perfectly balanced with nice friendly staff, good prices along with good quality drinks and food.... But not this one!!! The staff seemed like they couldn't be bothered. Such an unorganised layout quite cleearly it's a 'locals' pub

Back again fantastic staff and manager will be back next year

Lovely service. Staff are super friendly and accommodating.

Come here every week for a quiz

Been coming here for well over a year for working down here. The staff have bee absolutely accommodating from looking myself and fellow colleagues. Food is great and it’s right on the sea front. Totally recommend!

The pub was great and the service was brilliant.

Great pub, good selection of beers. Great food. Front of house staff are so friendly and welcoming

Love the fact this treasure has 4 great ales on all the time, foods great, excellent fry up and the staff always make my dog feel welcome

The staff are lovely and the location is beautiful. I can’t speak on the rooms as I have not used the hotel, but the pub and restaurant area are comfortable and in good condition. The location has an excellent view of the sea and is close to the beach, but parking and public transport are not adequate in the area, so you must arrive by foot.

I stayed @ the commodore recently & had such a lovely experience there, sarah is an amazing lady & so good @ her job she Really looked after us, our room was perfect, we had a sea view, food so great will definitely be staying again

We only went to dinner and to the pup. Everything was great.

Excellent service even though staff were under tremendous pressure

Great food, fantastic atmosphere. Been to their quiz night and had a wonderful time.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Food is very good, highly recommend. This is the about 5th time we've stayed here ( 24th June to 27th June '24) and can't beat the beautiful views over the sea. Its well worth staying here

Reasonable prices for drinks with a lovely location on the cliff top of southbourne, seating outside which was nice in the sunshine .

Me and my husband has had a lovely stay here. OK everything wasn't 10/10 but the service was outstanding. Beds was clean. Nothing was to much trouble highly pleased. Will deffo stay again. Bar manager and bar staff are so polite helpful and the consideration shown to me and my hubby was amazing 👏

HI HAD LUNCH THERE MAY 3RD 2024 THE MEALS WERE FANTASTIC AND GOOD PRICE AND LOCATION WAS LOVELY SUE PHIL REES NEAR CARDIFF

A spontaneous walk from Southbourne High Street led us to The Commodore. It almost looked closer from the outside and fairly scruffy, but given the time of year, perhaps it had a hard winter and is being tidied up for the upcoming Summer season. The menu looked okay although we didn't eat. There's ample parking and lots of space inside, although again, areas were looking a little tired. A warmer welcome would have been nice but other staff seemed friendly enough

Lovely food. Great big table for our group

I come here often to eat with my family and we love it. The location and view are amazing and the food is lovely. We have also noticed a big difference in the customer service over the last few months.. staff are very attentive and can't do enough to help. Would recommend to anyone.

An awesome building that holds an awesome crew! Very friendly! There is a pool table with just about the best food and liquor in Bournemouth!

☆☆☆What a treat! We were booked in for lunch with friends (4 adults), and an overnight stay for a mid-spring beach weekend. The service, menu offering, atmosphere and food were SUPERB! Granted, the building is unassuming and perhaps a touch tired but you really couldn't beat the experience. ♡♡♡ Genuinely delightful, welcoming, and happy staff, fantastic service and the food (very traditional British pub fayre) was fantastic. As a non-red-meat-eater there were ample vegetarian and vegan options that tempted the taste buds and allowed flexibility with additions of griddled chicken, halloumi ect.. Our bedroom was clear, spacious, airy, and a vue of the sea that would warrant a price tag of at least three times the room rate sold at anywhere else. 😉 Seriously decent pub with a brilliant welcome and with plenty to offer. Great on a shoe string budget if you need that but just as good for a pre beach pit-stop lunch.

The restaurant/bar had a cozy yet chic atmosphere, with dim lighting and comfortable seating. The menu offered a diverse range of dishes, from gourmet burgers to seafood specialties, all expertly prepared and bursting with flavor. Their cocktail selection was impressive, featuring both classic and creative concoctions. The service was top-notch, with attentive waitstaff who were knowledgeable about the menu and offered excellent recommendations. Overall, it was a delightful dining experience that I can't wait to repeat.

Classic, old school spot for a relaxed seaside pint. The service is great as well. Thank you to Robyn for making our visit that much more enjoyable!

I recently visited the commodore Hotel and bar with some friends for dinner and drinks. I was greeted by Robyn at the bar who was very friendly and knowledgeable and gave us menus and also advised us on the best wine to have as we couldn't decide. She explained about the allergens menu to a friend who is gluten free. Our food came in a timely manner, and it was lovely and hot. We will definitely be back.

Had a really nice meal , great choice of drinks and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend a visit, plenty of onroad parking if the small car park is full..

We had a wake for my late father in the function room at the Commodore yesterday. I arranged everything with Jemma who is super efficient and accommodating. We picked the buffet with a platter (dessert). We had around 40 guests and it worked very well. We ordered drinks ready for arrival & the food a little after. I popped in earlier to decorate the tables & drop off a few photos etc. Jemma and all the staff were really helpful, the food was excellent & I would highly recommend the venue. The room has it’s own toilets which is useful and just worked very well.

Popped in for a bite to eat and a drink, unfortunately the kitchen was closed but the staff suggested ordering a takeaway and allowed us to consume it in the bar, they even provided cutlery. Great atmosphere and very friendly staff, I would highly recommend a visit if you are in the area. The staff made us feel really welcome and being dog friendly was the icing on the cake.

A very poor pub very run down unfortunately, I wouldn't actually eat here, the beer lines needed cleaning and the beer was so cloudy and tasted overfull , got our drinks changed to be told that there's nothing wrong with the beer (of course) it's a shame green king are letting places in such beautiful locations go to the ground. The Poole table isn't straight and also worn down and the outside has a lot to live up too. I'm afraid there's not a lot of positive comments to say regarding this establishment.

I booked The Commodore Function room for the celebration of life party for my Mum. When we went in to enquire about the arrangements, the manager was very Kind and very considerate to us at such a difficult time. When it came to the day, the food was wonderful and the staff were absolutely amazing. The attention to detail, service was first class. This is a hospitality team who deliver their services with professional grace and compassion.

Seems to have really improved _ didn’t eat this time but the new menu looks lovely! Nice beer, clean, tidy- nice atmosphere- will def return

Stayed last night as was attending my sister's wedding reception. The room on the second floor (accessed by stairs or lift,) had the most amazing view of the sea. Room a decent size with all facilities that were required. Function room was lovely and the buffet that was laid on was amazing. Staff really lovely and helpful. Can't fault anything anything.
