The Cranleigh in Bournemouth

Brilliant service and atmosphere. Staff are so friendly. Salt and chilli chicken were so good and the katsu curry was amazing! Would definitely recommend to others and will be definitely returning very soon.

Went here for dinner on a Saturday evening , lovely pub very stylish. The food was nice but not great portions. Dog friendly which is good. The noise level was high, blaring music , very loud customers maybe due to the music being loud. Wasn’t a pleasant quiet evening like other green & Kings . We was going book Sunday lunch but the noise put us off.

The Cranleigh has become my new local since the refurbishment. The atmosphere is fantastic and there is something for everyone, whether it's coming in for the fantastic food or a just a pint. The staff are always great and have told me today that there is a big do for their one year celebration of their reopening, looking forward to the live music then!

This was my first time eating here. I had the full, large breakfast and my partner had the normal breakfast. It was absolutely delicous. The food was piping hot and the bacon was extremely tastey. Its the best breakfast ive had in along time. Will definately be back regularly.

I had a great lunch and the staff were lovely and friendly Arwin ,Sarah and Pamela couldn’t do enough for me. The food was fantastic and couldn’t recommend the food enough and great value for money! I look fiestę to returning with the family!

Dropped car over road for clean lunchtime, 2 meals and a pint under 20 quid meal deal gammon as good as I've had anywhere wife's chicken curry too much to finish excellent as was the service on a very busy lunch time as is the atmosphere, decor better than it's ever been and I've visited it over a 50yrs span wishing new owners/management good luck on hard work

We visited the Cranleigh for a Sunday roast and we were not disappointed! Beautiful roast beef that melted in my mouth and we also had two really nice deserts, I had the brownie and my partner had the Jam rolly polly - all in all we had excellent food and the service great too, will definitely be back.

Great roast, nice family environment would definitely recommend. The pub is very clean and tidy with a nice relaxed environment.

I come here most days for a few drinks after work with friends, I always get really well looked after by the team and they always have my favourite drink ready and poured when they see I habe arrived, we love it here and I van honestly say its such a magnificent local pub.

I had the pleasure of eating in the Cranleigh with my daughters family and friends over from Spain,9 people in total.The food was excellent and good value, and the service was also exceptional. Big thanks to Shaun and Arwen, who looked after us. You can not beat this pub for price and friendly service in the area

Thank goodness the Cranleigh is back. Great new management, very good pub grub at good prices. Good friendly service and welcome dogs. Will be back

We had such a lovely meal here for Mother’s Day. There was 8 of us and we all really enjoyed it. The portion sizes were great. The roast dinner was so good was very full but had to try the apple and blackberry pie which was so yummy!! Lovely atmosphere, accommodating staff and such reasonable prices. Highly recommended!

A booking was made for 6 on mother's day, but needed this amended to 7 on the day. Shaun the landlord was very helpful and even though this was mother's day, he managed to squeeze an extra person in. Yes it was snug on the table, but we managed. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the food was served very quickly, and was cooked to perfection. Very generous portions and delicious. It was a very busy lunchtime, but this did not seem to phase the staff, I will be going back and recommend the Cranleigh. You've done an amazing job with the place.👌

We were a walk-in for lunch and the food was lovely and the service really great! There was only one guy working the front of house, and one chef working in the kitchen but despite being understaffed we still had good food and good service! :)

We held my Nans wake here. Shaun and the team were amazing, they did everything they could to ensure the day went as smoothly as possible. Every request we asked for they did their best to accomodate. The food was fantastic and there was plenty of it. I would highly recommend The Cranleigh for special occasions.

Visited The Cranleigh today with my partner and parents for the first time since the refurb. It's always been a favourite of mine, but i must say it's even nicer now. Lovely decor, friendly staff and our meals were all delicious. Good value, lovely atmosphere too. I highly recommend this hidden gem of Bournemouth for a traditional and welcoming pub meal. Thank you Cranleigh team.

The new decor is fab and the staff are very friendly and attentive… however The food menu is very limited, the old one was way better and more value for money. Fish and chips were over cooked the batter was rock solid.. Hunters chicken had more bbq sauce than chicken and was just warm, chips (about 6 of them for overcooked) Mac and cheese and katsu chicken curry were fabulous and piping hot. This was at lunchtime and maybe 6 tables were eating so wasn’t even busy. I’m pretty confident we won’t be hurrying back anytime soon

Absolutely wonderful meal for my sons 18th birthday dinner. 15 of us all enjoyed our meals which look better than they do in the photos. The staff, very accomedating, helping me decorate the area we where given. And even joined in the singing of Happy birthday. The only disappointment was no katsu curry but that just goes to show how good it is.

Amazing Staff, Service, Food and a lovely place to meet family and friends … you have now become our Local … thank u so much

The staff go above and beyond every time we visit! The food is always great! Jess, Shaun and Steve have a great team behind them and have really turned the place around!! Couldn’t fault it if I wanted to

Had Christmas dinner there yesterday and must say what a great time we had. If I'm honest I wasn't sure what to expect but what a wonderful day. With a vegetarian and a vegan in our party of three, it was good to see they had choices on the menu rather than just the one option that a lot of other places were offering. Lovely polite staff, excellent food and drinks at sensible prices. The place looks great after the refurb. Well done Shaun. Please thank your team for making Christmas Day perfect, and no washing up!!

A great atmosphere and attentive staff, the Christmas meal banquet was excellent value for money! All the different meal choices arrived at the same time so no one was left waiting.

Amazing food and great value for money. The staff are friendly and are willing to help if needed. The pub itself is very tastefully decorated, it has a real Xmas feel. Well done Shaun and team 👍🏻

Just had a pre-Christmas dinner with friends and family. There were about 20 of us and 7 kids so had the 3-course menu for £20/£10 per child. There was a good variety of food and desserts on the menu. The food came out all on time and together and not one wrong the staff were exceptional and very helpful and accommodating and even ordering on the app was quick and easy which some of the group did for drinks. Considering we wasn't the only large grpup there the management and staff did exceptionally well. Would highly recommend

Had an early Christmas dinner 25 of us including Kids, the food was lovely and great value for money.Jess and jack was amazing and made our visit very enjoyable.

11 of us visited the Cranleigh Pub for the festive Menu. We had pr ordered our meals .we were greeted warmly and were directed to our table we were left to sort our drinks and settle ourselves before the waitress asked if we were ready...

Our children had no clubs on the Tuesday, so we all went out as a large extended family. Very reasonable prices and Jack at the bar looked after us well. The waitress was also attentive. The venue ambience is much improved after the revamp.

After leaving a previous review vowing to never go again to the Cranleigh tonight i was persuaded to give it one last try. I cannot express how things could be turned around 1000 percent in such a short time Could not fault - The staff...

We had our canasta class Christmas lunch at the refurbished Cranleigh on 1 Dec. Wow, what a transformation...so much so, I couldn't remember how it was before 😯 We pre-ordered our menu choices (as there was a lot of us), our food came out promptly,...

One of the most amazing pubs I’ve been to, such a sense of community and the assistant manager Jess made my experience even better, I would deffo recommend this pub and will deffo be coming a lot more as it’s only down the road from...

My favourite pub, great food , great drinks and a good atmosphere. Jess the assistant manager was amazing and was extremely helpful

Atmosphere was great, roast beef was literally one of the best Sunday lunches, for my partner and I for year’s. Very reasonable price per head, never going to a ‘standard’ Toby Carvery again!

Came on a Monday afternoon and surprised quite busy which we felt was a good sign. Ordered lunch which not only we felt was a bargain but very good quality food too. Jess and other staff members were very welcoming and friendly. We will definitely...

Pub been refurbished nicely but the value for money is disgraceful. One meal was a senior so didn’t expect a lot but to be served with only 6 chips and the smallest half chicken breast I have ever seen was disgraceful ( would have loved...

food was good the service was even better , was served by jess who was very accommodating and friendly and helped us with everything she’s definitely a credit to the pub !!

Wow what an amazing night! We came as a table of 14 for my grandads birthday and the service was amazing. Booked the table with the manager who ensured to stay in constant contact with me before hand for any questions and throughout the night...

Awful. Sat for nearly an hour waiting for food. Asked staff where it was. Not gone through to kitchen even though it took money off my bank card. Staff not very helpful. Got a refund and went somewhere else. Won't be returning. Shocking

Very disappointed not any better than the old pub short staff long wait for food stone cold small menu a lot dearer never again back to the iford and i only live 100 yards from cranleigh

Just love this place. We are just two old ladies who treat our selves once a month.love the food and the price. We both love the new decorations. We keep telling people they should go and see for themselves. See again soon.

I met some friends for lunch here, it was a Thursday afternoon the pub had a really nice atmosphere with a good mix of customers. The new decor is lovely and the decorations are very tasteful for Halloween. The staff all seemed really polite and...

Wow what an amazing difference since the refurbishment. The decor is really well done and I would class it as Modern / eclectic but very pleasing. They have gone back to open plan which really works well. The food was good and delivered to the table promptly by our amazing server Matthew lovely South African (I believe by accent) he really was a credit to the pub. He was cheerful and very attentive and cleared plates away quickly (pet peeve of mine) so if any management read this hold on to him with all you might lol. Food 4/5 Service 5/5 Price 5/5 Atmosphere 5/5 Parking 4/5 Keep it up Cranleigh we will be back.

Booked a table for early dinner on a Saturday. We were looking forward to trying out our newly refurbished local… such a disappointment. Arrived and there is nobody to show you where to sit, so we just took pot luck and sat down but tables were very close together and it all felt very cramped. Went to the bar, took almost 10 mins to even be acknowledged by a member of staff, finally got a drink. The menu has changed considerably and not for the better in our opinion. And children running around whilst people were trying to eat and staff trying to serve food. We actually got up and left and won’t be returning unfortunately.

Went here October 2023 on a Sunday Lunch time 1st time since re-opening and probably will be last time 8 of us...... 1st problem table to small .. Asked to get moved the response to be honest was appalling .... they were not bothered.... so 2 of us sat on another table The Prices have gone up ... A lot...... and portions DOWN The menu is very small and lots of favourites gone Noise levels OMG must be very close to the decidable limits Coors larger has been removed for more expensive drinks Decorations not to my taste a bit to busy Lost the young family feel Trying to go to up market..... to be honest I think you failed .... Was going to book Xmas & Boxing day here for 5 ........ NOT a Chance now

Love it! Improvements are excellent! The set up allows a buzzing atmosphere and privacy all at the same time. Good selection of drink and food. Staff were so friendly and helpful which really makes a place. Sports on every corner for big events but equally a lovely bar and restaurant too. All in all, will be a regular place for me and mine

So happy to see this local dull pub of old turned into a vibrant modern happy place The new design is beautiful colourful and very relaxing The space is well though out Areas for dining separate areas for just drinking Games area with built in board games on the tables. Fabulous Every member of staff you speak to are upbeat positive and enjoy their job. The new manager Sean is doing a great job welcoming all the old customers and new. We popped in the other day around 4pm and it was buzzing Mixed ages great to see We didn’t eat but the food coming out from the kitchen looked really nice. Jess behind the bar was so friendly chatty and knew her stuff You could just tell she was part of he management team Well done everyone See you very soon N & J and Teddy 🐶

The venue looks fantastic after its revamp, so much more room and the decor is fantastic. The downside: Granted it was a Saturday evening so you do expect that there will be a fair few people going out out and the atmosphere would be lively. However you would expect that during dinner service hours the music would be kept to a level where you can talk over it. Thankfully they were kind enough to turn off the speaker above our heads. After ordering dinner we did have a 45 minute wait to be served whilst being battered by the noise. Then when we were finally served our food a live band started and the noise level went up so high that we were just desperate to finish our meals and get out of there. We didn’t stay for desert. The food was ok, nothing to get excited about though. Sadly the new menu doesn’t include a sweet potato alternative for those with allergies, so the birthday boy had to have a very meagre salad and was quite let down by this. There was nothing terrible or damning about our visit, it just sadly wasn’t the right venue for us this time.

Wow what can I say really lovely to see the Cranleigh looking amazing and the best pub I've walked into yet nice staff and people in there too would highly recommend will be visiting again on my mum's birthday end of October 10/10

Green King have done us dirty. The Cranleigh is no longer a Hungry Horse pub. Now has a very limited menu and a more upmarket feel. They'll lose fans, it wasn't broken. Won't go again, although food today was delicious, it's just another trying to be fancy pub. The Hungry Horse was perfect for the clients and area and superb portions for good prices for the people!

Visited this evening was a superb experience from start to finish jess who served us provided first class service and we couldn't be happier with out night out.

Looks amazing refurb is fantastic staff friendly but menu selection poor prices gone up and portion size tiny

Absolutely superb after an amazing refurb the Cranleigh looks amazing shaun the gm was brilliant his service was impeccable The food and drinks on point cannot recommend enough can’t wait to go back for there stunn entertainment line up

We accidentally stumbled accross the reopening today and so happy we did! Little chaotic but the staff handled it beautifully. And The food was so good! Children ate every scap and the burgers were amazing! Good value too, highly recommended.

The cranleigh looks amazing. Food was fantastic, staff were friendly and welcoming. We'll done to shaun and all the staff. Will definitely be back very soon

Attended the opening of the new Cranleigh Pub. Place looks amazing, staff were very friendly and the food was absolutely superb. Looking forward to next visit…. 👍🏼❤️😋

Where do I start?! What a breath of fresh air!!! Shaun should be so proud of his pub and his team. The refurb has gone above and beyond. The pub is something to be really proud of and is absolutely stunning!!! I had a sirloin,...

Forget all the old bad reviews! This is now a new refurb under new management! Beautifully decorated, great atmosphere but more importantly amazing food and customer service. Very impressed. We'll be heading back there again soon! I fancy the Sunday lunch x

We have been to the cranleigh pre VIP evening after extensive refurbishment it looks amazing clean and fresh with plenty of staff the food was very good. We will definitely be going back

This pun has had a fabulous makeover. A lot of money has been spent on the refurbishment and it is pleasantly welcoming and family friendly. The food was delicious and the staff and management very welcoming and friendly.

….,Under New Management now and what they have done to this pub is just incredible! Beautiful & stylish new refurbishment , great lively social atmosphere, friendly staff and awesome food! It’s a great addition for the local community! Exciting times ahead! 😊

We decided to give the cranleigh another go,after the last experience wasn't great. Wish we hadn't bothered, there were no burgers!! No skewers!! my daughter ordered a sharing platter as her main, nothing but greasy food on the plate. Half the desserts weren't available. Staff...

Excellent customer service, staff very friendly and accommodating. Value for money. The pub itself needs a good refurb, other than that great family atmosphere 😊

Great evening at the Cranleigh again third time in the last few weeks. It used to be our local but had been disappointed under the previous managers so had stopped going. Pleased to see a significant improvement under the new manager Jade. Loads of atmosphere...

Although I found a hair in my food. I mentioned to our waiter Ashley, who went above and beyond with his customer service to get a fresh plate served and offered complimentary drink or dessert. When my dinner was eventually served, it was delicious as...

Came for dinner with family, young boy very tall was absolutely lovely and very welcoming but when served by Julia (young girl with thick eyeliner and blonde hair) at the bar she was very rude and unaccomodating. Shame as the pub has had such a...

Typical hungry horse standard. I love the layout of the venue, splitting down areas. Low priced, quick service, family friendly venue. We have been approx 10 times, and no doubt will be back for grub, a pint and sports

Very clean and tidy, friendly staff, good food and very hot, excellent value for money, good service.

The site wasn’t particularly busy for the Monday of half term, however, the food arrived somewhat disjointed, with the chef even having to help deliver food and a gentleman in a smoke stenched hoody delivering our drinks. The main disappointment however came from the Chicken...

Really welcoming and great atmosphere. The new manager Jade is super friendly, food was good and the service was great.

Myself and family come here a lot and no word of a lie the difference a new manager makes to a pub is huge! The atmosphere is just a million times better. As always food was lush. They were so short staffed but the new...

Gone downhill recently. The food is lovely but the drinks menu of "mocktails" were overpriced squash. We used to go here alot, been here twice in last month and got to say standard of food has gone downhill.

Amazing food! Jade accomodated us when requesting an item no longer on the menu. Eat here everytime I visit from London.

We regularly visit and have to just say how lovely everything is, food is always delicious and such good value and the service is absolutely fabulous. We are always so well looked after. Thank you Dawn,Matt and the rest of your lovely team xxx

Booked a table for dinner today and turned up to the kitchen being closed once again!! The decking has been broken and closed up for well over a year now. The manager is rude and makes us feel like an inconvenience for being in there....

I come here very often, and Katie & her team are so welcoming and lovely. Katie, Awren, Jade and Ashley are the best members of staff and will make sure all your needs are met. I’d highly recommend. They are awsome and go above and...

Katie the team leader is very friendly.. arwin and Ashley are such good people who go above and beyond. Thank you x

Wouldn’t recommend if you have dietary requirements… they don’t seem to want to help… asked to swap for a salad from chips… can’t called it a salad… just some not very appetising leaves - when questioned I got given some what looked like colslaw minus...

The staff were spot on - really friendly and super fast with the food. The meal was lovely and we had a fab time all round

Once again a brilliant family meal at this excellent venue Absolutely spot on for families,especially with younger children. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff. Prices are very good and food the same. The service is super and every visit is a pleasure. Well...

The service was amazing by Katie she couldn’t do anything else for us. We ordered the roast beef and roast chicken dinner they was good amazingly by the chefs. Thankyou so much booking for next Sunday

Just popped in for a cheap burger after work but was told it was too busy . There was me and two other people there!!! I guess opening the freezer door and chucking some processed food in the fryer was a bit to challenging for...

Such a disappointment, yet again. The only reason we keep coming back is that it's our local. Yet again the new landlady cancelled the pub quiz, that had been advertised, after we actually got to the pub ready to play. Cancelling the quizmaster without salary...
