The Globe Inn in Christchurch

Service very very slow and food is mediocre.

Our first visit, due to staff shortages they weren’t sure if they could accommodate us. But they did show us to a table, explaining that there might be a wait for food. There was not a long wait, we ordered our drinks and food at the same time and the wait was minimal. Our food was ok, I had a bacon and cheese which was ok, the burger was pink inside. Everyone else’s meals were good. I’m guessing that they were trying to get the food out quickly. We would go back because the staff were so good. Note, that you have to register your vehicle registration to avoid a parking fine. You get 3 hours free.

We had breakfast at the Globe this morning. We arrived at 9.30 as booked, then waited 30 mins with no offers of service. I eventually went and asked a server if he could take our order which he did. I ordered porage as well. After a further wait of 20 mins part of the order was served. One person did not receive everything he had ordered and no porage arrived. I approached another server who said it was on its way, then after a further wait was told it would be 2 mins and after yet another long wait I was told it would be 45secs. When we eventually had everything we had ordered, we had waited over an hour. Very disappointing so not sure we will return.

The staff here are great the manger ( Sophie)is great and the food is nice just a pleasant kind atmosphere here. UPDATE***** We had breakfast here the next day and was great ASH was great 👍

Birthday lunch, very nice, staff, very helpful 😀

Fabulous food Fish and Chips were amazing as was the pie We were on holiday but went back again 2 days later ,good service as very nice friendly staff

Very good food and nice surroundings, good attentive staff.

Excellent friendly service and well prepared tasty meals at a fair price.

We could not fault this place in any way

Went for good at the globe, the waitress was lovely and helpful, but unfortunately was impressed with the food . We had the lamb koftas, presentation lacking , all it was, was flatbread spread with hummus and two kofta plonked on top!

Out for a meal with an aunt we visited while in Christchurch. Her choice of venue and a good one it was.

Went for breakfast, such a big selection to choose from. The staff were all so welcoming

I have been here several times but tonight it wasn’t very busy, we waited an hour and ten mins for our food with no apologies and not much different with the sweet. The curry was only warm, the rice was cold. Not happy at all and spoke to several other couple that felt the same and watched 3 meals get sent back from different tables and 2 families walk out. 🤦‍♀️

Lovely place, friendly staff, great food and drinks.

Fancied something to eat, but waited 10 mins before a member of staff noticed me. Only to be told that there was a 40 mins wait for any food. Decided to get a drink from the bar whilst waiting and was totally ignored by the staff. After 5 minutes of waiting decided to leave. Worst experience ever!

We have used this restaurant for many many years and we have never been disappointed. It was very busy but we found a table for two tucked away. We didn’t have to wait too long to be served by a very helpful young lady. I had the fish and chips which was really tasty and cooked just right and not too thick batter. The chips were nice and golden brown. Hubby had gammon with egg and pineapple. He said it was very tasty. Although it was extremely busy the waitress still had time to pop back and ask if everything was ok. Always have had good meals here and always very reasonable priced. It is always tidy and clean

Good food at reasonable prices. Obliging staff normally. Excellent service to all tables around us by Roxi

Lovely food, we had dinner and dessert, lots of food selection, and the price was good too, and brilliant service from Maddi. Oh, and the portion sizes are good too, whether you're a child or adult

Highly recommend the breakfast here. Service was quick and professional (thanks especially to Maddi), cleanliness of a high standard and the food was of excellent quality.

Just don't both, not many tables and staff still couldn't cope. Too 3 hours to get 2 courses.

A great pub Highcliffe, indoor & outdoor seating. Log car registration on entry.

Had a lovely meal here. Maddi served us and she was wonderful. Couldn't do enough for us. She was like a little whirlwind around the place waiting on customers. Plenty to choose from on the menu and a good selection of drinks. Would definitely recommend.

Perfect breakfast for the price... great value

Decidedly grubby & ripped chair - not as good as previous visits.

Really nice place with delicious food. You must try!

Went for a Mothers day meal with my daughter and 2 granddaughters. We had a lovely 3 course meal each, food was lovely, service was amazing by the wonderful Matthew B, for whom nothing was too much trouble, polite, and attentive. And with the voucher I had, it was all incredible value. Would definitely go again.

Thank you all at the Globe for accommodating all 9 of us for breakfast this morning. Even though we had booked the wrong day .! Delicious breakfast good service friendly staff thank you again 😊

Mothers day dinner and a birthday dinner! Ash was very attentive and helpful, food was good and reasonably priced! Thank you, we'll be back :)

Pleasant, relaxing atmosphere. Had a speedy service despite being busy, nice food and service. Plenty of bar area or rests with tables outside and complimentary parking up to three hours.

Had lovely lunch at the Globe Highcliffe with Soren served by Maddi, who was polite efficient and friendly....Would recommend...

The Globe is always an excellent choice for good food, great value and excellent service.

Me and my partner went here for food I ordered a bacon cheeseburger when it arrived it only had one small shrivelled piece of bacon so don’t know if you can actually call that a proper bacon burger. Food was okay all in all but not great. Service was okay wasn’t great though. Food took quite a while to arrive.

Lovely place, reasonably priced, always great food, would definitely recommend 👌

Big place but good service lovely meal . Enjoyed the visit

Great food, fast service, super value. Waitress Maddi very polite. Have visited many times and plan to return again. Big thumbs up.

Great meal tonight. Service fantastic, we were lucky to be served by Maddie and Matt. Will definitely return. Recommend the potato dippers and chocolate sundae!

We were staying in the Premier Inn and had dinner and breakfast in the Globe. Great food and lovely staff … Eszti, Tiegan, Faith, Robby, Sam all made us very welcome.

Relaxing meal out with the family. Sirloin steaks were lovely.

We visited at lunch time for quick meal. They offer small range of meals at £6 per meal. The meal is smaller than the equivalent from the main menu. The meal was tasty and well prepared. The service was good. The waitress (Maddi) was particularly pleasant. We will visit again for a full meal.

Visited yesterday for lunch. The food was very good and great value, at just £6 per person. Our server Maddi was very polite and helpful. Would thoroughly recommend

Excellent meals . Service a tad slow due to being lunchtime. Highly recommended

Wonderful food and our wonderful server Maddi

Not bad bar for a drink. Friendly staff. Nice atmosphere

Lovely service from Maddie, very polite and pleasant experience.

We went for a quick drink, as we had business to deal with further up the road. Very pleasantly received, wonderful to see there is a clear bar area, where you can also have a meal, while watching sport on the television. Very relaxed and admirable atmosphere. It would be a pleasure to return and hopefully sample the food as it appears the prices to be very reasonable, not only for the drinks but especially the prices of the food. Hope to visit again soon.

I took my parents here for a meal. I tried to order Scampi .. no scampi I then tried to order curry ... No rice. There also only appeared to be one draft ale on. Felt sorry for the staff front of house who were getting it in the neck.

Great meal tonight. All the food was piping hot and the service was friendly and first class. I know there are issues with the pub receiving orders and some items are not available but please remember this is not their fault. Maddi was amazing. Very friendly and great service 👍

Very friendly service. Food was freshly cooked.

The Globe used to be the best value around but it has in my opinion lost its way. Yesterday was not too busy but the wait for both service and food was very long 50 minutes from being seated. When the meal came , haddock and chips for 3 of us, the batter was uncooked. Sent it back and was better when it eventually was replaced. We gathered there was new kitchen staff but also not enough waitering staff to cover. We know there are still food supply issues but come on The Globe you used to be better than this pre Covid!?!

Good reasonable priced food, needs decor update a bit faded.

We went as a group of eight on boxing day. It was prebooked, having already chosen our meals and said a deposit. We were seated and fairly quickly got drinks. Then we waited, and waited and waited. Eventually we got our starters. The main course followed eventually again after a long wait and the means were mostly cold. Dessert was probably a longer wait. If we gad walked in iff the street the delays might have been understandable. In the circumstances though the long delays and overall lack of any quality meals was not acceptable. This is by no means a unique experience and it has to be said The Globe is rrhularly unprepared for, and seems to be unable to cope with any busy period.

Staff awful, service rubbish,atmosphere awful. Restaurant toilets disgusting. Alot of items on breakfast menu, not available. We stayed there in June this year,and it was OK then, but I'm afraid it's gone downhill since then. Shan't be staying again.

A very dissappointing lunch. Due to lack of stock very little choice . Starters we has lver pate lacking in any form of butter or greenery. mains,1 turkey lunch yorkshire pudding you could have brocken the plate with . ! lunch rumpsteak up graded to a serloin completely inedible sweet crumble not made yet had profitroles as a subsitute best part Staff excellent helpful and polite and did give me a full rebate on my disastrous meal

We have been going here for about 5 years now, The inside is nice, the staff are really nice too and the food is hot but we have had some problems recently where they don have everything because of delivery but still 4/5

The Globe was having issues with their suppliers and didn't have some foods, so choice was curtailed somewhat. The service was slow, it took 40mins for our first drink and we didn't get our food for 90mins after arrival. they came back to us several times to tell us things were now unavailable. This waiting time is unacceptable. Having said that, after I complained they did reduce our bill and the pizza and Brownie I had was quite nice. The staff were pleasant but disorganised and unprepared, for example we had advised them we were coming (group of 10) 4 days before and the table wasn't ready for us. We would not go back here after our experience last night.

We had a very enjoyable meal at The Globe yesterday. The pub was extremely busy but the service was good. We were greeted by our server and made to feel very comfortable and he was keen to ensure that everything was to our satisfaction.yes there were supply issues but we were made aware of these in advance so we’re able to adjust our orders. All the food was well presented and hot and tasty. The billionaire profiteroles were yummy. We will definitely be back again. Thank you to all the hard working staff.

I have been to this place about 5 times in total now, every time the food & service is absolutely brilliant. No matter the time of day, the staff who are working or the day of the week. My partner often comes for lunch with his boss and agrees that the food and service is amazing. Special shoutout to Harry ( i believe manager/shift runner) who has been there for all our visits. Also shoutout to Maddi and Tegan for there brilliant service.

Worst dining out experience I’ve had in a long time. Despite the place being quiet the service was very slow took a while to receive our drinks after asking one of the staff members if we could get our drinks. Food took nearly a hour to arrive which came out looking very very average and something I could have done better at home. Me and my friends came here expecting to have a festive Xmas dinner only to receive a list of what meals they ran out of which the menu was very poor and limited choice. The worst tasting food I’ve had in a long time. We was all very disappointed and hungry. I don’t recommend this place and won’t be returning!

Good honest, pub grub. It does get very busy, and the staff handle this very well. Big thanks to Maddi, who always has a big smile and gives great service and attention to detail.Thanks to James also for his warm welcome 😁

Burger was tasteless and there was about 10 chips the coleslaw was inedible and a. Strange colour it had to be the worse. Burger I have ever had

Went to Globe yesterday about 12 -14 of us.wasnt busy however whilst the staff managed best they could there had been issues re delivery ok something's not their fault . Overall food could have been hotter the salmon and turkey was nice but they only had one salmon available no condiments on table ,no water on table. 2 people had to leave couldn't get to dessets as it had taken so long to get to the main.

Food was satisfactory. Veg wasn't cooked properly. Service was very slow, due to lack of staff but they did their best & kept on smiling.

Despite no rice delivery to them, still had a fantastic katsu curry with chips.

Food cold. Brussel Sprouts inedible Service extremely slow. Dining room cold

Good quality food choices and friendly service and family atmosphere

Very enjoyable experience in this busy whitbread mid range pub. Standard pub fayre but very good consistently. We had steaks and dessert and very good value with a "black Friday offer". Steak and indeed most of the food offering is always good at Whitbread Inns. Haz a reasonable Gluten Free offering as well. This pub is tucked tight on the main road and could be missed if not looking for it. It's attached to Premier Inn, which is set back in a wooded area behind. Nice decor inside and very friendly and efficient service, shout out to Maddi to was very attentive whilst being very busy. Will definitely come again even though it's a bit of a way from home.

Delicious hot Sunday lunch here today!! Thought we’d try it out as we live near!! Was very yummy and filling!! a choice of meats turkey beef and gammon.. Veg roast too!! Festive veg Wellington is apparently lovely too!! In for Christmas!! Loads of veg, sausage on the plate too!! Good price! £11 for a roast. Drinks price good too!

Excellent pub fayre at great prices (especially with some of the offers). All four of us were impressed and left happy. Service (Maddi) was exceptional - if I were Whitbread I'd give her a serious promotion. Hard to find people these days who understand that if you look after your customers, they consume more and come back more often...well done Maddi!

Had the unlimited breakfast. Great value. Build your own breakfast by ordering how many you would like of bacon, eggs, sausages, etc. It also includes continental, tea, coffee, and fruit juice

Excellent value for money. Plenty of parking. Food was appetising and hot. Quick service. Especially liked the two meals for £11.99. An additional sweet was only £2.99 each as well. Great staff. Recommended.

Visited for breakfast with my wife and loved the fact that it wasn't a tepid, mediocre buffet affair, but a nice and hot meal, pre- ordered, as much as you like Lovely, hard working staff Will be returning Well done 👍

Maddi was an excellent server. Very good value meals which are delicious. We always enjoy our time at The Globe.

The service was excellent especially at breakfast. Lovely food, great atmosphere would definitely go again. Had breakfast and dinner

Arrived without booking after travelling from the north Midlands. It was 2pm Sunday, and quite busy, but they were able to fit us in. Service was initially great, drinks arrived fairly quickly, but then we waited. And waited. And waited. Absolutely no communication for almost an hour before our 3 meals arrived. 1 Sunday lunch (minus Yorkshire pudding), 1 steak dinner, 1 mixed grill. Even cooking from scratch shouldn't be an hour, and service was reducing considerably over that hour. Fortunately, the food was fairly decent, and the young lad who cashed us out was really helpful with regards 'blue light' discount. Would come again, but would advise the server's offer better communication if there are delays. Goes a long way.

Food very good value for the price.The waitress Maddi was very polite and efficient.

Maddi our waitress was fantastic will be coming back soon

Excellent value for money great service from James and Maddi. Highly recommended.

The food was lovely, Maddi served us, she was excellent.

Get there early on a Sunday if you want a choice of meat for a Sunday roast 😄

We visit at least once a year on holiday and it is always a great place to stay, with wonderful staff and food. One of us has an unusual combination of food allergies, and it is never a problem liaising with staff to find food from the menu to eat. The staff are so hardworking and helpful, on this visit we hadn't been for a long time, and yet they remembered straight away what the allergies were and helpfully liaised with the kitchen. Always a great experience.

Last orders for food 8pm and bar closed at 10pm ridiculous for a pub attached to a hotel

Well all I can say this was the worst food I have ever had before. When we arrived it was meant to be a surprise for a friend, however it was definitely that . The waitress on entry was dam right cold and not welcoming at all, an answer from the lady was in a minute. I stood there for a good 10 mins before some else asked if I was OK. My reply was table for two please, of course a table was found for us .Now the food , well McDonald's is bad but this beat it hands down no question. The starter was very well done especially when calamari should be soft to the bite, but not this looked like pork scratches. However we we hungry so thought it can't get worse, it did . But more to the fact I was speechless and embarrassed . If you want lovely food, not recommended or the price.

Lovely meal and good service . Food piping hot and came quickly. Very friendly Scotsman behind the bar who made us feel welcome

On the morning of our stay, I arrived for breakfast unaware that it was waitress, rather than self service. I was in a real rush to get to a meeting, so I was now tight on time and the breakfast room was packed!!! I spoke to Maddi and she managed to jump in early, to take my order and get it to me in just a few minutes! She then took time to find my coat, which I accidentally left in the bar the night before! All in time for me to get to my meeting! What a superhero !!! You saved me twice… with a quick breakfast and rescuing by coat! Your kindness was such a gift from God ! It so made me smile!!

Great value for money, lovely meal and atmosphere and fairly local. Had a very efficient, knowledgeable and friendly waitress named Maddi

Came in on Friday Night (4th Oct) Had to ask someone to seat us wven tho the restaurant and bar were quiet. Waited so long for our drinks I collected them from the bar my self. Food was ok thought the share platter starter was a bit rubbish to be honest. Had little to no contact with the female waitress that was supposed to serve us other than to take our order. A guy from another section did the rest. No meal check , drink check or even casual conversation. Asked for the bill and ended up going to the bar to get the bill and pay. Disappointing when the pub was so quiet and plenty of staff on.

We were made to feel so welcome the food was amazing and the service was 100%, very very friendly place to eat and drink would highly recommend thank you to all that looked after us.

Very friendly place, great food, reasonable prices, brilliant table service from the tireless Maddi. Pleasant bub area also, again with very friendly and helpful staff

You need to book for a weekend as very busy, food was good for a chain pub, staff very courteous.

Great atmosphere, very friendly staff, great food and value for money

We had a lovely meal on our first visit were welcomed by friendly staff on arrival and our waitress (Maddi) went above and beyond to make you feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend and we will be back !

Nice place to go for a meal. Wide menu choice reasonable prices. Table booking advisable. Good sized car park but can get busy.

A good place for meeting up with friends. Although it was a hot day we had a cool, pleasant table. A most enjoyable meal shared with friends.

Great food,great service . Really enjoyed the visit..

Great choice of very tasty food with ample servings and very friendly attentive service ... plus always a bargain with specials

We had a meal yesterday. The food was good but not great but it was the wait time that spoiled it. The staff were pleasant but everything took too long and it wasn't very busy. We had to wait over 20 minutes for our drinks and were there nearly an hour before we got our food. I wouldn't recommend it if you are tight for time!

Maddi our waitress was lovely and the food was as good as ever. They were coping well on what was a very busy night

Come here often. Great for families and generally anyone looking for good food and good service. Maddi is lovely and provides great service

For a very good meal at a reasonable price and good service go to the Globe.

Excellent meals coupled with very good service.
