The Den Kitchen in Bournemouth

We've been meeting up monthly there for a good few months for something to eat. It's got a good menu and the food is. OK Recently we've come across a middle aged bloke working there who is rude and sarcastic so we'll find somewhere else in Charminster to meet up.

The staff were very rude and the building was unsafe and can cause you injuries. I went to the toilet to wash my hands and accidentally hit the top of my head on the door frame when leaving the bathroom (which was too low, despite me only being 5'11"). After I explained to whoever was in charge that I hit my head on the door frame in the toilet, she said that I should "use my eyes" and that there was writing on the other door frames (but not the one I hit my head on) and that I should look where I am going in the future like "normal people". I tried to explain that all that was needed was some padding or something colourful to stop people hitting their heads but she wasn't interested in my recommendations and was extremely rude and disrespectful, insisting that the writing she had was enough warning, and that it was my own fault I was injured. Not only was I left with a severe headache but was also treated so rudely and disrespectfully by a member of staff I'm never going back here again and recommend everyone else avoid this place also.

The place looks lovely but the food is expensive for the quality of it. The Buddha Bowl wasn’t great, not much flavour, the burger was ok but worst of all was the creamy cheese pasta on the kids menu, which by the way was a strange, not really kid friendly menu. It didn’t taste of cheese it was disgusting, it was like eating a tub of clotted cream and pasta. My son couldn’t eat it. Bad quality food and not cheap at all!

책 읽고 노트북 이용하려고 자주 들렀어요. 점심시간 이후에는 사람이 많고, 늦은 오후에는 여유로웠어요. 항상 라디오를 틀어주시는데 배경음악으로 들으면서 책을 읽거나 공부하고 노트북 이용하기에 좋았어요. 스콘 두 종류도 모두 맛있지만 블루베리와 노란 크림이 올라간 컵케익이 정말 맛있었어요.

Went in this afternoon. Had an amazing coffee but couldn’t but help feel like they were understaffed today. They were all rushing around working as hard as they could, but definitely could do with an Extra pair of hands. However, will not fault the quality of the coffee as it was amazing as normal. Don’t know if it’s an issue with lack of employees available or if that’s all they could put on at once but I felt as thought the level of service dropped due to this.
