Was very disappointed with lunch today The soup was in a very small bowl filled only half full with two massive slices of supermarket bread that was supposed to be whole grain on the side Asked if it was because they had had a rush on soup and that was the last remaining they could manage. Was told no and he walked away ! I asked if I could have some butter to go with the bread and was brought slabs of margarine . My daughter’s drink glass had red lipstick on the rim , so we didn’t order anything else and decided not to have the big Christmas meal we were planning and studying the menu for next week . Pub is cosy and the bar lady was lovely

Just in for a cup of tea with a group of people. Been coming for at least 2 years every week. Service is usually mediocre to poor. Staff seem incapable of delivering 15 teas/coffees quickly and efficiently. Today was different. We were served by Elena who avoided all confusion by taking a name with each order (smart move) and who delivered the drinks unusually quickly. She is to be commended.

A lovely place with a great atmosphere with staff who go out of their way to help. I have been here for food and drinks many times but recently used the function room for a party which was a great space, well organised and a resounding success.

We hired to the room upstairs for a birthday party. The food was excellent and the staff were friendly and helpful. The landlord went out of his way to help make it a fantastic evening and we are a nightmare, so hats off to Phil for his exceptional tolerance!!

My partner works here, so definitely a bit bias. Workers get tokens to get discounts, so it was around a £50+ meal but we spent under £20. Food is normally pretty good, best to see the menu before comming as it changes and some dishes are a bit lack-luster. 1 point down on atmosphere is mainly due to how loud it can be, its hard to relax when you're hearing 20+ conversations. But my autism does affect that. Overall great food and friendly staff

Great location, but let down with cheap ingredients, too much fat on the bacon and not enough bacon. I know it was mad busy, but food preparation requires more TLC

I had one of the worst dining experiences ever. The staff seemed overwhelmed and rushed, which made service very slow. I had to ask twice for drinks, and our food arrived lukewarm and nearly inedible (chicken wings were slimy and cold, with barely any sauce; nachos were dry and like cardboard). After watching it sit on the counter, we had to ask the staff to check on our meal before it was finally brought to us. They didn’t check on us to ask us how the food was (probably because they knew it was dire) during the meal. The wine was decent, but they mistakenly tried to bring us another bottle 45 minutes later, insisting we had ordered it, when in reality we had to chase our drinks due to the slow service. I’ve had much better food and service at a Spoons.

I used to always love going to the grasshopper, as it was an affordable and great pub to go to, but without any warning the carpark is suddenly a paid car park? A night that I spent good money on drink here has now cost me an addition £100 on parking fee and made me never want to come back? There is not enough signs to show this, for someone visiting at night also no lighting for me to even know it’s suddenly paid?! So upset with this parking fine!

Visited this Sunday at 3:30 for the Sunday Roast. Alarm bells rang immediately. No one to greet you, stood by the “wait here to be seated” seated for 5 minutes, seemed to be extremely short staffed. Made our way to the bar, waited for what seemed an eternity to be even acknowledged. No apologies for late service. Ordered drinks and was disappointed that a brewery pub of this size doesn’t have alcohol free lager on tap. Placed our orders at the bar and waited an eternity for the starter to arrive. No one came and checked or cleared the table. The place was almost empty by now. Ordered more drinks at the bar and had to ask for our mains, “Oh, haven’t you had those yet” Two roast beef dinners eventually arrived. And the starter plates were removed at the same time! Personally for £19:95 each I would expect a whole lot more. It’s was acceptable but definitely NOT exceptional!!! Cauliflower cheese (as a £5:95 extra) was as bland as it comes and like all the other veg, seemed to have been cooked hours ago and reheated. Roast beef advertised as “served pink” was dry, grey and unappealing. Small gravy boats of lukewarm gravy. No one came and asked if everything was ok, no one seemed to care anyway. No one seemed to be interested or in charge. Place seems to be staffed with teenagers and young adults trying their best, but definitely not front of house trained. So £75 later, for 3 bottles of non alcoholic lager, one pint of Diet Coke, Camembert shared starter, two roast beef dinners and a £5:95 cauliflower something, were we satisfied? No!! Were we disappointed? Yes!!! On payment, were was asked if everything ok?? No!!!!! Definitely the worst experience of a Sunday roast in years. Stuck away in the cold corner of a huge pub, away from main dining room, left to our own devices and generally ignored Definitely NOT recommended on this performance 2/10 Hall & Woodhouse you should be ashamed. Get a grip!!!!!

My partner and I booked ahead for a 2pm table, were directed to our seats and asked if we wanted table service, so we said yes. Half an hour later, still no one had turned up to take our order so I had to go to the bar (which was busy and understaffed). I put in our food order and went back to my table. Half an hour later, no food had arrived. My partner asked the barman if the heating could be put on (there is a sort of firepit thing near the tables) but she was informed that there had been a suspected gas leak and they were waiting for confirmation whether it was safe to turn on!!! In the end, my partner had to put her coat on and other diners were doing the same. I asked the barman for an update on our food and he went to the kitchen. He arrived around 5 or 10 mins later with the food. Despite my initial disappointment about waiting an hour for the food (and despite the fact that we had pre-booked the table) seeing as I was starving, I was glad to see it. For £19 I expected more than 3 roast potatoes, a chicken leg, a slither of stuffing, a blob of red cabbage, some peas, an anorexic parsnip and a yorkshire pudding that resembled a leather baseball glove (and was twice as brittle). I took one bite of a carrot and found that it was cold. The potatoes and chicken was also bordering on frozen. My partner took a bite of her food and hers was cold too, which was odd as she had the beef. Considering the fact that the food took so long, my guess is that it sat around in the kitchen for a while and was forgotten about, and then by the time it came to us, it was stone cold. The barman took the food away and promised that replacements would come soon, but by that point we were already disappointed and not to mention starving. Fresh plates came out a few minutes later (this time accompanied by a pot of gravy and an extra parsnip). I said to the barman that we didn't get given gravy with our previous meals, and he said "We don't usually, but the chef has given it to you this time". That struck me as a bit odd, and then I recalled that my ex-wife often used to serve cold dinners but then drown everything in steaming hot gravy so no one noticed (but that wasn't why I divorced her). Presumably she wasn't employed in the kitchen on this occasion... Oh, and you'd think that after having a customer complain about the quality of the food, basic common sense would make you pop over once they'd had their replacement meals just to check that things were all right...but no. No one came over to check whether we enjoyed our meal, and no one gave any impression whatsoever that they cared whether we were satisfied customers or not. Over £40 later (we also order cauliflower cheese which tasted of neither cauliflower nor cheese but some sort of chalky substance that defied categorization) my partner and I left and swore never to return. On our way out we saw a sign saying that roast dinners were "only £10 after 5pm" and I have to say that if they are up to the same standard as the ones served before 5pm, you'd be better off getting a meal deal from the Tesco down the road.

Booked for my uncles 75th and told he'd get a card and something done with his pudding. But he got absolutely nothing.😔😕😢 Not even a mention on arrival or by the waitress. Although his special birthday hadn't even existed. Asked to call to discuss after I raised my disappointment . So I did this twice. Utter waste of my time and effort . One guy took my email address and said he'd said something over yet heard absolutely nothing. Second time Assistant manageress promised a call back that day and again absolutely nothing. This is how they treat loyal local customers. Wish I had booked his 75th elsewhere now. Clearly don't care about their diners experience

A lovely pub but the food is very poor. The staff are great, the atmosphere is good and although the prices are high the alcohol options are fine. It’s the food that lets it down hugely. We have been coming to this pub for many years and it used to be a good go to for impromptu dinners out. Unless Something changes dramatically we won’t eat there again. The prawn cocktail I had was not good. The prawns were so small I wouldn’t even be sure they were prawns! The sauce was ok if a little vinegary. The main course of southern fried burger was disappointing. The burger is obviously frozen and deep fried which if paying under £10 could be excused but it was much more than that. This used to be a great pub for food - what has happened!! It is a real shame.

This was one of the worse lunches we as a family have ever had, the service was poor. The food especially the chicken schnitzel was like a piece of cold cardboard, the skinny fries were dry and cold. The Mac and cheese with a side of extra mushrooms (£2) , in total there was about one mushroom cut into segments. Never again

This place is going downhill fast. Initially ordered 2 pints of beer Fursty Ferret and Tanglefoot Hall two of Hall and Woodhouse better beers. I was told there's was no Tanglefoot.This is the second time this has happened and the last time was around a year ago so to hear that again was ridiculous in my opinion. Booked a table and at a busy time it was virtually empty in the restaurant area, a group of 3 people, a couple who looked fed up and me and a friend. Ordered the flat iron steak to be told they didn't have any so disappointing, gave an alternative from the menu and they didn't have that either so I asked " what do you have "? I was told that most of what was on menu wasn't available apart from a burger or fish and chips, Didn't really want either but the burger was on a deal for £10 instead of nearly £18. When it arrived the bun was dry and left most of it, the burger was burnt on the outside and because it was overcooked it was tough and dry as you'd expect from something overdone. It wasn't worth £10 let alone nearly £18....i mean WHAT???Before requesting the steak I had ordered a prawn cocktail as I hadn't had one in ages and steak to follow. Having been told no steak I was going to cancel the prawn cocktail but thought it would make a bad choice meal better. Oh how wrong I was. For nearly £8 I got some limp lettuce with a not very tasty Rose Marie sauce but no prawns, what I got was microscopic shrimps and not that many, so that followed by the worse burger I've had just about summed my experience up. A terrible place whereby after a year though id give it another go, I wish i hadn't as it was worse than before and will NEVER go back. .

When registering car one of the machines was broken with people queuing to use it, then once registered no bar staff to be found behind the bar, one member of staff was doing something with cutlery then disappeared, after a while a member of staff appeared in front of the bar and came round to serve everyone. Other than that it is a large, accommodating nicely decorated pub.

Unfortunately although the Sunday lunch used to be really good..it has gone down in quality whilst the price has gone up. Now £19.25 for roast beef..that was severely overcooked yet on menu said served pink. We kept most of it for the dog! The place was almost empty whereas again in the past was buzzing. The only good thing to say that the staff were pleasant and eager to serve and apologised for the long delay (even though there was an almost empty restaurant. Not to be re-visited by us I'm afraid when you have such good alternatives.

We visited due to hearing about how good the Roast Dinners were! Luckily these did not disappoint, the roast dinner was good portions and good meat! My husband had a burger which was also very tasty. We also tried some starters, some were good however my sister in law had some halloumi fries with an added chicken wing - not good at all! Especially if veggie, manager didn’t seemed bothered when we told him. The service was slow, the staff seemed stressed and unbothered. The drinks machine was also broken, I guess this is why they were stressed. Got seated on a benched table (wasn’t happy with this as wanted a nice family dinner but due to dog had to sit there). Maybe it needs to be more casual or they are need to try harder to impress! Wouldn’t rush back…

This is always a good venue. Went on a Thursday before 12 and unsurprisingly, it was very quiet. This meant there was little atmosphere compared with previous visits. It was not helped by the fact that staff were filling condiments on the bar and replenishing sauce bottles etc in our direct view. There also seems to be a lack of space for managers to do their admin work and take phone calls without being in the dining area just a couple of tables away from us. This seems to be common practice now in a lot of cafes and restaurants. The back office routines would better suited away from customers. Staff were very good and happy to allow us time to make our choices. Food was very nice, nicely presented, hot and good quantity and quality. I am fortunate enough to be a Blue Light card holder and this was accepted with no fuss and actually welcomed. Would be happy to go here anytime with friends to eat or just enjoy a drink. Good use of space, with an area of comfy library like seating, a nicely appointed bar and a good dining area away from the general hubbub.

The Grasshopper is a spacious pub on Thomson drive between Bournemouth and Poole. It has plenty of car parking and outdoor tables catching morning and afternoon sun, as well as a mix of tables and comfy searing inside. The food menu looks like good pub fare, I will be trying when I next visit. Today was just a pint of Badger's brewed ale. Sandwich lunch the next day was out in the sun and very nicely presented food.

This pub is fine for drinks but the food is very hit and miss as well as pricey for what it is. Had a Saturday lunch with friends and it was very quiet. Current menu is unfortunately very limited and the chicken salad I chose was so small that I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw it !! Tons of croutons, 3 cherry tomatoes, some chicken on a bed of greenery - all that for £13! Wouldn’t go back for food. All 5 of us were disappointed by experience. Love the library though.

It is a lovely place, spacious inside,with a nice seating areas outside, parking available. Not sure if the food order was mixed up at the bar when I ordered, or in the kitchen, but I was brought some kind of loaded fries instead of halloumi ones. The tiny bowl of salad for £3 is a rip off, as you get the big bowl of the same green leaves from any shop for less than a £1. Seen the burgers and glad I didn't go for one as it isn't worth £18. The waiter was coming to us with orders no one ordered, so there must be something wrong with the system. Drinks are also overpriced and unfortunately I can't recommend it to my friends.

We came mid week for a birthday lunch. We found the place to be cosy and inviting. We each ordered a different meal from the menu, all which was really delicious. However, we ordered ‘two half pints of lager’ and when they were served to our table, they were pints. But as it was a birthday lunch we let it go. One of us ordered a coffee with a ‘mini dessert’ which was clearly on the menu. When it was served up, we said to the server, if this is mini, what is the large one like? He assured us it was the mini dessert. Of course when we came to pay, we were told the ‘mini dessert offer ended yesterday’! There was no mention of the mini dessert being on any ‘specials offer’. We were offered something off here and there, which was no good to us, but as it was a special lunch we let it all go. We had a really nice time at the Grasshopper, staff were really friendly, and as mentioned food was very nice. We will definitely be back, but will make sure we get what we order.

We came on a Sunday after 5pm, and we didn't know you could get a roast for £10, so I thought the waitress had made a mistake in charging us just £24. The food was great, the tastiest veggie I have ever tried, even the peas were not as plastic as anywhere in the UK. The atmosphere is another plus: one of the few nice pubs in the area, with cosy sofas and antique objects placed everywhere, even a scale in the loo. It also has a well-seized car park, if you're planning to drive there. Highly recommended!

BEWARE CAR PARK. JUST PAID £60 APARENTLY OVERSTAYED IN CAR PARK, NEVER SAW ANY SIGN! 40 MINS Wait for meal so prob why we overstayed not that we saw any signage or warning. Perhaps pub staff should warn customers? Never going back if I was starving.

Sat outside with the dog as the sun came out. Soon changed our minds as shards of smashed glass everywhere so had to pick her up and go.

Great find while on the way back from Corfe Castle to Southampton. Easily accessible and plenty of parking. Great outside area with a lot of space. Will be back!

Not the cheapest lunch but plenty of good food and we loved the touch of the extra gravy and extra yorkshire puddings :) The staff are friendly and helpful and we always feel that Paddy makes you feel very welcome. Coffee in the library is always nice and the pieces of fudge always go down well. We also like that part of the inside is dog friendly.

I visited here today with my two small children which can be sometimes daunting stepping into a pub but was greeted with friendly staff, helpful and so kind to me and my children. Food was fast but absolutely delicious, hot and so well presented. Would absolutely eat here again.

I visited this venue for a catch-up with a mate. The seating was sufficient, the staff were great. I found the price of a pint to be overpriced compared to other local pubs. A nice touch was the monty python audio in the toilets.

Raf and Cherry went above and beyond in their service when we ordered hot drinks this evening. It was the best and made us feel very special. Thank you. They are brilliant.

Terrible experience. Such a shame as a lovely looking place. Waiting 20 mins to get served, had to go and ask to be served. Thank god we had starters! Although they were very poor .Myself and my kids had the roast. Yorkshire puddings were stone cold! Got sent back. The roast was luke warm. Beef was chewy. Took from sitting down to eating the roast was 1 and half hours. Not impressed. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone. Definitely wouldn’t go back. I will praise the member of staff trying his hardest. But sadly he’s up against it all. Although if they didn’t have him, we would still be sat there!

We enjoyed our visit and the food was good. Your staff were very helpful. There was only one thing that marred our visit. One of our group on finding that her preferred drink was unavailable decided to have a mini bottle of Prosecco, which she said she had bought before for half the price the Grasshopper charged. Would the Grasshopper care to comment on this?

Sadly, wasn't the best experience. Took the wife out for a birthday meal on a Saturday night. Restaurant was very quiet and there was no atmosphere. Ordered fish and chips and sausage and mash. Out comes my fish and chips, shock! Literally a 5inch fish and 12 chips (see picture). I asked where the rest of my £18 fish and chips were. They said thats the portion ordered. After 'a' chat, they did bring out a second fish and chips by which time my wife had finished her meal. The experience of the night was ruined by this matter and lack of other customers.

Our group enjoyed a good meal at the Yachtsman this evening, Selina and her team were very welcoming and helpful, and the pub was cosy, warm and decorated with lots of festive cheer on a cold winter’s night :-)
