The Globe Inn in Christchurch

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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 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!

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

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

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

Good food and lovely friendly staff. Great local.

Excellent meals coupled with very good service.

Great value food. Very tasty. Good service too from Maddi at both breakfast and dinner.

Maddi was lovely she served us drinks at lunch time and dinner later. The food was fine nothing to complain about at all. Very busy atmosphere.

Imperative that you book, it's so good. Lovely food and plenty of it. Quick service, polite staff and great value. I had a smothered platter(excellent) and my wife had chicken katsu and rice. Both highly recommended. 👌

Order wasn't complete one meal had been crossed off so had to wait for meal to arrive

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 not recommended or the price.

Enjoy our visits here on a Sunday for lunch. The roast dinners are honestly the best around here. My father is in a wheelchair and the access here is so easy as it’s all one level. A special mention for Faith Gabby James and Harry who always make a point of welcoming us so warmly, we have become regulars here now because of this excellent customer service.

Had Maddi as our server what a helpful and happy person she was nothing to much trouble

The experience was kind of what you would expect from a restaurant annexed to a Premier Inn. Simple. Nothing special. But it cured my hunger.

Very standard pub food but great service from Maddi!

I'm quite disappointed, to be honest. Quite a few of our chosen meals were not available after we ordered, having the waitress return to our table a couple of times asking to change our orders. Curry with hardly any curry! No spaghetti for the children. The waitress tried her best, and we appreciated it, but we wouldn't come here again for dinner.

Amazing value for money . Unlimited breakfast 😋 for 10 quid

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

We were served by Maddi, who was absolutely fantastic. We couldn't have asked for better service. The food was good, as to be expected from a Whitbread Inn. Food prices are reasonable.

I’m sat here after just finishing the mix grill left feeling disappointed and robbed. 15 chips on the plate Steak tough as boots Gammon 25% fat Chicken tasted like rubber Sausages - should be described as cocktail sausages Peas no complaints the best part of the meal The size of the portion was so small I finished my plate within 5minutes. I usually struggle to finish a mixed grill. A couple of people on table ordered adult burger meals when they arrived at the table we assumed they were the kids meals This place used to be a lovely spot it has gone down hill. I can honestly say it is the worst dining experience of my life. Waiters were polite and helpful

Was not very busy when we arrived but waited ages to be served ,did not seem a lot of staff there orderd meal and a drink got meals we had gammon ,chips peas asked for vinegar and tomato sauce arrived about 10 min later still no drinks the meal was basic chips that had been cooked then warmed up peas like bullets I had to go and get drinks I had ordered they were still siting on the bar very poor quality food will not rush back.

A great location and layout with spacious beer garden. Maybe made the wrong choice on the menu but both Thai and Indian curries were insipid runny and lacking in body.Like the chips they were also fairly cold.

Family birthday party ten people large enough venue to accommodate. Good choice on the menu arrive before six pm for offers on the menu. Free parking.

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

Short on portion size. Sticky toffee pudding. Tasted awful not like its name sake. Served cold, told waitress exchanged for another cold portion. We spent £50 unfortunately not up to the cost.

Ok but not much meat for a mixed grill and pudding selection not very good , but excellent friendly staff

Anniversary weekend away, came for a meal it was exceptional xxx

Great food and service as usual will return for sure x

Couple of drinks with family and amazing barman Jamie made the night 100% better. Will be coming back just so we can have him pour our drinks again.

Easy to drive past but it's worth a little stop. Large car park with beer garden tucked away at the rear. Breakfast is probably the best meal to have here. Toilets are v pleasant.

Cannot be beaten for overall value and service..yes its slower at weekends but they are busy.

Booked table at 645 waited for our drinks for the wrong ones, it's now 8 pm still waiting for food. Ask the staff but had a cheeky comment under hand. Won't be coming back until management sort more staff shocking service. Toilets are shocking, boys there is wee all over the floor been in twice still in the same state, windows open but people smoking outside smoke coming in, shocking!!!!!!! Your meant to be saving food which isn't cheap. Everyone stay away until it improves. Table behind us just had there food and it was wrong mum not happy. We sat with crumbs on our seats.

Booked a table for.for 5 people at 1515 on Sunday , for a Sunday roast ,we arrived at 1400 ,had a couple of drinks in the garden, we went to order our roast at 1515, we were told they have run out of roast, we have been visiting the pub for 6 years regularly on a Sunday, couldn't believe it ,the man who said he was in charge said they have been busy from 1230 till 1430 ,when we arrived at 1400 I happened to say to my wife how quiet it was, if you can't rely on a Sunday dinner at your local, what can you rely on, on the plus side the young bar man jamie is a joy he's really friendly service with a smile, always happy and positive, if you want a meal there get in early, you've been warned

Sticky tables Wrong food delivered Slow service No one seemed to care

Lovely food and good service. We go there regularly and it is always nice.

Fast service and great grub ! Simple

Great place, good service and food. Waiter we had was absolutely brilliant. Really enjoyed a good value, honest meal.

Service was Brillant!! Thank you Maddi!!

Love this place always get a lovely welcome and the food is constantly good they do good deals too

There was a group of us (10),the waitress took our order, she didn't write anything down and when she brought the food to the table, she delivered it to the right person. What a memory, she must have. I have trouble remembering drinks to be ordered at the bar.

Great food and great service from the polish woman. Price was great for kids meal. The garlic bread is just one slice and the 'pizza' is a mini pizza, ABIT like a microwave one. They need to give better side dish options, veg sticks, beans, peas and corn on the cob wasnt that good. I know in an ideal world kids would eat this but maybe some baby potatoes (which cost the same) might be better, rather than throwing away veg sticks every time. Trio pies were great, the mixed grill was abit small. So just be aware when ordering. Pity there was no jam Roly poly. Apart from that it was great.

Excellent waitress as she was attentive & good with our children. Food average, as nachos dry & bland with minimal cheese, no sour cream. Roast dinner nice but believe most os from the freezer. Needs a playground or softplay.

Unfortunately not our best experience this time, they were obviously very under staffed. We booked a table on the day our Aunts funeral to celebrate her, as this was her favourite place to eat whenever we visited. However, the service was not the best, long wait between ordering drinks and them arriving, appeared to only be one person on the bar trying to serve the bar and restaurant, food was good but again quite a long wait. Don’t think our waitress knew how to smile and when we asked if we could pay separately we were told no, unfortunately a couple of us saw her roll her eyes when we asked.

My main reason for five stars is no dogs inside!!! Well done The Globe We will definitely be coming to eat and enjoy ‘No Dogs! Inside

A brilliant pub to eat and drink at Great atmosphere and friendly staff on hand to help

Father's Day lunch, food was great today really really good, service was swift and speedy, not rushed though. Our waiter Huw was a star, very good member of staff!!!

Farthers day lunch, Staff were on the ball all the time.

We had lovely Father’s Day/birthday meal. Our first visit to the Globe. Food was brilliant, and top service. The server Harry was brilliant, very nice manner, very helpful and had. Good banter with us.

We had a lovely breakfast two days in a row here, during our stay at the Premier Inn next door. Maddi was very attentive and brought us excellent fast service. The breakfasts were delicious and unlimited also! I would definitely reccomend.

The Globe is a wonderful restaurant and pub. We always enjoy both the good food and the good beer there. It’s important to make a reservation because it’s so popular that on many evenings it’s otherwise impossible to get a table. (Monday seems to be the quietest day.) We went there this week and were served by Maddi, who provided the most excellent and attentive service. They also serve a fine breakfast, handy if you’re staying at the nearby hotel.

As someone with food alegies, our server, Becks, was so very helpful and made sure to advise me. The food was so good and the Gammon steak was delicious. Only let down if there was one is that there was no desert that I could eat, so maybe they could consider a Sorbet going forward.

Have eaten here many times. Food is always excellent, service swift and friendly. Never had cause to complain.

Had lunch today, nice meal had to wait but the place was full.

Affordable place specially for NHS, emergency services and army with 25% discount. Food a bit borring like in every pub around. Good offers Mon to Fri with 2 selected courses for £11.99. Up to 3 hours free parking.

Booked breakfast here…lots of choice but felt very rushed…poached eggs were shocking…full of water & the staff wow how unwelcoming were they…just rude & miserable..went elsewhere the next day

Stayed at adjacent Premier Inn and visited for breakfast and dinner. Service great but dinner food not quite as good. Dinner main course a bit ‘dried up’ and warm dessert still cold in places. Breakfast excellent with wide choice of food.

great staff but awful food. real shame

A restaurant on the side of a premier Inn excellent service reasonable pricing, open hrs to fit with the premier Inn for breakfast and dinner 🍽. Helpful location vs the premier Inn is only footsteps 👣 away

Wasn't as nice as in the past when we've been in the area.. evening menu rather limited and what tasted like watered down cola and a dessert so over microwaved I couldnt get a spoon into it..although both issues were dealt with professionally which was appreciated... however the fish and chips we had earlier on in the week was absolutely delicious..perfect.. and recommend it.

Popped in for a meal great atmosphere food and service. We hadn’t booked and they were so welcoming. Thank you Harry 😊

Excellent food and surroundings.the staff were so patient and accommodating.

Great service from booking (catering for our additional needs child) to service with a smile (thank you Maddi) and extremely helpful adjusting the meals to suit! We will definitely be back.

Very busy , we had a booking by telephone , but that was not on there system !! Service a bit slow, basic food for the money.

Another great evening at The Globe Excellent service from Maddie. All 13 of us enjoyed our meals. Looking forward to breakfast 🙂

Visited the Globe for breakfast today staff rude breakfast cold would not go again do not deserve our custom

We had a table booked -we stood for 15 mins in The doorway and ignored . We spoke to bar man who said to stay standing , they were short staffed and someone should be along . Disgusting service …….we left restaurant!!

Lovely food and always friendly, have been many times before.

9.99 for 3 bacon 3 sausage 3 bp 3 hash brown 3 eggs beans and mushrooms plus I have 2 glasses of orange juice and 2 coffees !! All very tasty and decent quality. Didn't have to wait long overall very impressive I will be back.

We were extremely well looked after by Maddi who works very hard and is very polite and courteous , food good drinks good Well done

Really nice time and Maddi looked after us really well. Food was good from what we sampled. Will return.

Maddi was our server and she was lovely and helpful. The main courses were really good but desserts could have been better. The music was good and not too loud. Overall a good evening with family.

Fish chips n peas. Batter disgusting and chips burnt and soggy. Whilst the food is cheap this was really bad.

The service that we received from Maddi was amazing, really friendly and fun. The food was ok but nothing particularly special.

I had booked a table for my mums birthday there was quite a few of us Roxy was our waitress and she couldn’t do enough for us even though you were short staffed Roxy made sure everything was right for us and nothing was too much trouble and managed to sort all out meals and payments at the end glad Roxy was our waitress she really is a diamond and an asset to the company also thank you for checking with me a few days before just to confirm we were still coming although some had dropped out last minute we still had a good time and the food was good too thank you so much

Visited Mother’s Day evening as part of the attached Premier Inn’s meal deal. The restaurant was very busy. Food was very tasty and served nice and hot. Despite it being busy the restaurant team were working very hard and managed to take orders and deliver the food not only in a timely manner but with a smile. It looks like the team in this restaurant have really strong team spirit. Well done Marika and the team. Breakfast the next morning was excellent, served by Jane - quick, efficient and friendly.

8 of us booked in for Mothers day and the day was just perfect. We had the set menu which was of great value. The roasts here are THE best in the area. It was very busy, which is a testament to how good the food is, but all staff were so friendly and attentive . We had Faith and Dan serving us, both so lovely and polite. Loved catching up with my family and the best bit was we didn’t feel rushed at all. We also noticed the rudeness of another diner, which was handled very well by the management. I never understand how people can talk to others so aggressively. Fantastic patience by all staff, I certainly wouldn’t have been so stand there and take such abuse so calmly . Overall had a fabulous Mother’s Day and will be returning at Easter!

We visited on Mother’s Day as part of the meal deal with the Premier Inn & as expected it was extremely busy. The staff as ever were all working exceptionally hard & keeping up with orders with a genuine smile on their face. They seem like a great team & all support each other when needed. Unfortunately we witnessed a very unreasonable diner complaining to one of the managers on duty about the service. The manager dealt with it very professionally & did her very best to resolve the issue but this customer (elderly female) was not prepared to listen & was not only gesticulating & pointing at the manager but stated she would be leaving a negative review on Trip Advisor. So if you do read a low scoring review on here please note it is not a fair review of the situation that actually happened. We have had dinner & breakfast 6 times at this restaurant in the last 2 weeks & every time the food was served piping hot & delicious & the staff both at dinner & breakfast delivered exceptional service every single meal. If only I could score higher than a 5!! As my mother has recently moved to the area we will be back again many times more doubt!! Thank you to all of you.

We popped in for dinner to celebrate a birthday. The restauraunt was super busy and Maddi our server was dealing with a difficult group of customers. However she went out of our way to make our evening as special as possible. Kind and attentive Maddi was utterly super. Thank you so much!

Whilst staying at the nearby Premier Inn we used the Globe Inn for breakfast and dinner. The staff were trying so hard but there just wasn't enough staff on duty. Just one member of staff working all on their own trying their hardest on all occasions. The food was not always at its best.

Havn't been here for years but wanted a warming dinner on a cold wet Sunday - mid afternoon and roast had mostly run out so hubby had a steak + I had beef ale pie - all lovely and hot and filling - good service staff friendly - drinks bump up the price

The food was delicious and Maddi was very attentive. It was very busy and the service was great. Good prices and great NHS discount

Very disappointing just one waitress on duty and we waited over 35 minutes to be served it had been left standing so was cold after reheating just about edible. We use this pub a lot not a good day for you. Waitress lovely not her fault.

Maddi was attentive and friendly and really looked after us!

Excellent food and customer service from Maddi.Family birthday of 9 people.Couldnt fault anything.Good value for money too.

Fabulous service from Maddie. Great food. Value for money Superb As regular customers we have never had cause to complain. Wonderful friendly staff. Great stmosphere

The food was quite good although the steak could have been better. However Maddi’s service was exceptional. She was so hard working and very polite and attentive.

Staff are lovely and polite however the speed needs to be improved. It’s extremely slow. Took 45 minutes to take our order. We had a table booked for 6pm and at 9pm we only just ordered dessert.

Lovely meal. We were very well looked after by Maddi. A very enjoyable date night. Very nice atmosphere at the Globe, friendly staff.

Appalling refusal of food service to a regular customer. They were happy to take our money on Wednesday but refused service early Friday evening because we were in the bar.
