The Hub in East Dorset

We visited the Hub for a 60th birthday party and found it extremely well laid out with good facilities and very helpful staff.The party and disco was held in a large room to the right of the main entrance.Drinks were purchased at the bar further into the building just a few yards from the party venue which was very convenient while prices were comparable or better than pub prices which was a nice surprise.Not only was the party venue uncramped and well equipped with tables and chairs but there was a further large seating near the bar for those wanting to take a breather from proceedings.The toilets were very well kept and very clean and overall presentation of the Hub contributed towards making the evening a big success. A very good venue.

We attended a large social event at the Hub. The venue was good but the bar service slow at the interval, not surprising really considering about 100 people all wanted serving at once.

We have been here now for several Kids parties ranging from Nerf Wars, Bouncy Castles and Cinema, The staff are always well organised, friendly and helpful. The children have never come away disappointed. We notice there are many activities arranged during the holidays and although there is no Pool there is still plenty to do. The small café area serves good coffee and the party food has always been good.

After the school holidays all the baby, toddler and parents groups start up again. Wednesday there is a group held at the hub and focuses on sensory play as well as free play, there is snack and song and time to read a book at the end. The group is usually full of recognizable faces from the other local groups and the staff member that holds it is friendly, helpful and warm. The staff at the hub are equally as lovely. The hub is used for a variety of things and the sense of community is apparent throughout. Ive only had a coffee and slushy from the cafe.

I recently moved to the area. After doing some research i read a few things about the hub and figured this was the central location for all things happening especially with a small child. After speaking to family near the area thgey also said this was the place to visit. Visited last week for the first time and was warmly welcomed at reception. Unfortunately the children centre was shut at the time but was given a tour of the building even with my puschair. I was given a number of leaflets for the timetable of activities that whlere happening. I have visited since for the baby clinic will be attending a class tomorrow.

great service very helpful young lady, great coffee basic snacks but a lovely place to sit down and and chill out

Encantador chaqueta patatas para el almuerzo, así como el espectáculo en el teatro, una buena relación calidad-precio , no demasiado ocupado más del tiempo tan bueno ambientes demasiado!

Visitamos el centro última hora de la mañana y tenía un desayuno muy razonable en inglés que era agradable y caliente. lugar agradable para comer un bocado en no malos precios.

This is a great little place for the community. Went to see a few of the town's review shows here. You really feel that your out with the in crowd here.

Been to watch many shows at the hub and never disappoints, been to watch films in the cinema, theatre musicals, the staff our lovely and we'll trained A+++

Again a brilliant night of entertainment... even better than last year... although The Hub is a little bit non-atmospheric it still has all the facilities to handle a decent sized function and the nearby overflow car parks are a godsend on busy nights.

How often are the local pubs letting us down on their meals? Time and time again we try them but disappointment yet again. Not The Hub! We've had lunchtime meals at irregular intervals over the last 2 years and thoroughly enjoy them. The food is fresh, the menus well thought out with little extras and the presentation is first class. The staff are friendly and helpful.Eating there can be incorporated into the other fun activities going on at the same time. And what could have been more civilised than relaxing in the cinema at The Hub watching The King's Speech and sipping my gin and tonic!

Comí aquí cada martes y tiene una buena relación calidad-precio, excelente comida! La señora chef es muy bueno y tuve el pollo César semana pasada y fue excelente! Todo lo que he tenido ha sido genial, recién preparados y cocinados. Un servicio excelente -

The hub is an awesome building where you can do lots of fun activities like a cinema and a bistro and there's really cheap activities and facilities-really good fun

The Hub has a wonderful restaurant called "Cafe Lifestyle" with good well priced food & friendly staff, outside is a great place to sit (English weather permitting) and to enjoy the nice (but needs a little more TLC) garden, good for children as well as all securely fenced.
