The Richmond in Bournemouth

I recently visited this pub and was thoroughly impressed! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it the perfect place to relax with friends. Lizzy, who served us, went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. She was attentive, friendly, and even treated my friend's dog with a little snack—such a thoughtful touch. The food was exceptional. I had the Mac and cheese, which was absolutely delicious with a perfectly cheesy top. My friend ordered the BBQ burnt ends Texan burger, which looked incredibly juicy and was a hit. The drinks were also reasonably priced, making it even better value for money. I highly recommend this pub for its great service, food, and atmosphere. Will definitely be back!

Just came in for a couple pints and food before a haircut. Come here every now and then and everyone is always friendly. Had a steak pie and it was bloody beautiful. Chantelle always amazing and works so hard. Fully recommend coming here. They got the TVs for live sport as well and lovely beer garden. Great all rounder pub!!!

Lovely pub nice and clean with a good atmosphere. Good range of drinks and good discounts for students as well. Lizzy was lovely and had excellent customer service. Would highly recommend this pub

The Richmond Arms in Ringwood offers a delightful experience with its warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff are friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant visit. The food is exceptional, with a great selection of dishes that are both delicious and well-presented. The cozy ambiance and charming decor make it a perfect spot for a relaxing meal or a casual drink. Highly recommended!

Perfect pub for a few drinks and great food too! Amazing for students as do student discount and friendly staff. Would highly recommend.

Excellent service from the Landlady! Fantastic beer garden. Had a wonderful time with my Husband on the bank holiday weekend. See you again soon!

Great beer garden, large pub, always a first choice for us to meet at. Always got a busy atmosphere and summers couldn't be spent anywhere else

Not visited The Richmond for a little while & an impromptu visit on a recent Friday left me pleasantly happy. Arrived around 6.30, it was comfortably busy, with a good local pub atmosphere & looked tidier than I remembered from my last visit. The age range of clientele also seemed a little older, which probably helped with the overall atmosphere. Secured a table in the corner & spent a pleasant couple of hours. Good selection of drinks at competitive prices. Didn’t eat on this visit, perhaps next time.

Just taking the opportunity to wish all the hard working staff at the Richmond a huge happy thank you for making our Xmas! I went for Christmas Day lunch, along with 7 friends and had a brilliant and very seasonal time. On arrival, we were greeting through the door and shown to our appropriately festive table, glasses of Prosecco, chilled and ready to flow. The atmosphere in the pub was magical, all the staff were really into the spirit of the day and their focus on providing service impeccable! Our orders for dining were beautifully prepared and served to with perfect timing. 10 of of 10 experience, will definitely book again for next year. Thank you Lizzy, Danny, Chloe, Georgiana and Marie for you excellent hosting, and thanks to the guys in the kitchen, Ib & Killian for your hard work ing the kitchen, you fed a lot of customers that day and all of your food was delicious!

Had a great night out here got served by the lovely Lizzy, great atmosphere and drinks will come again

Come here often , always amazing service by Lizzy and team everytime ! Food and drink always to a top standard and delicious !

We came for evening drinks at the Richmond arms. Was served by lizzy and she was warm and welcoming. Will definitely be returning!

Welcomed really nicely staff where friendly and helpful, food was cooked to perfection. Especially the roast potatoes. We had the steak and two of us had the Christmas dinner we where very full and happy that we spent it at he Richmond and we would definitely recommend and go back next year. Debbie and Family

I’ve been a regular customer at The Richmond, the past 7 years and compared with days of old, the pub has improved enormously. I love the friendly atmosphere, the extremely efficient bar staff and kitchen. I eat out regularly and the food here never disappoints. It’s all good and reflects how much effort Lizzie and her team put in and however busy, the service is always excellent.

very good place to watch the rugby and have some drinks. Amy at the bar was very helpful and kind which made the customer experience even better.

Came here at the weekend with a group of friends and had a really lovely night. The team were friendly and helpful even though it was incredibly busy they seemed to be short staffed but the red haired lady who served us was really lovely! We will be back!

Despite scaffolding outside due to ongoing work, entrance was a little bit daunting. We were 4 adults and 2 kids and eating an early dinner. Staff were above and beyond helpful to us. Food was very reasonable and we thought excellent quality. Lizzie went out of her way to provide our 2 grandchildren with coloring stuff. Set up our night for the Meyrick Park event in a great way.

I had the most fantastic vegan nuggets ever alongside a pint of cider poured beautifully by Kitt, she served me with a lovely smile and amazing attitude, I will be coming back for her service. Thankyou Kitt!!

It was a great atmosphere i was served by a very friendly and efficient waitress named chantelle she gave great service and we all enjoyed our night!

The food here is top tier and they have a great selection of beers I recommend the beef burger with chorizo

Came in with a few friends for drinks and a meal. I had the fish and chips, it was so big I almost couldn’t finish it all! Service was very quick! The staff are very helpful and made sure I found a drink I liked.

Fantastic service from Lizzy and the team. We had a table for 7 and were given a table inside but with a cool breeze from the garden which was much appreciated given the hot weather. Food was delicious and brought to our table promptly. We had burger, fish and chips, scampi and off the children’s menu sausage all we would recommend. Many thanks to the two chefs who must have been working in very hot conditions. Would highly recommend a visit.

Lovely customer service from Lizzy who was giving us good options for what drinks to have. Service was great

Visit Richmond today to have some lunch, had the open Camembert sandwich which was amazing, the service was excellent and I can’t wait to try more of the food here!

Went to this pub on Friday last week. Was a great little pub. I’ve been to charminster a few times and visited this pub years ago. It’s so clean and improved since last time.didn’t recognise it

Visited recently early Saturday evening. As usual pub atmosphere was good & staff both friendly & efficient. You can also see staff are efficient throughout the pub, clearing & tidying tables where necessary. Have visited several times before todays visit for drinks, but today decided to have some of the tapas dishes to share, along with some fries. They were okay & probably what you would expect. Main letdown was the squid which was barely warm. However, overall everything was ok. I’ve given a 3, but 31/2 would probably be fairer.

We popped in for a quick bite - with shall we say low expectations of some ‘pub grub’ … we ordered tapas 3 were an ample light lunch for two and they were awesome!! Sorry no pics we cleared our plates!! But will be back!! Thank you!

Good food, good drink, good time. Always like to go back when I’m in the area. Staff are always pleasant

Needed a gaff to have a few drinks in before we headed out. Came across the richmond and had a great time. Stayed a little later than planned but nice atmosphere and great staff, would recommend

Came here on Sunday with the family. There was football showing in the bar which was busy, but their restaurant end was peacefully yet had a decent atmosphere. Had roasts all round which were banging, kids particularly happy and stuffed. Easily the best roast, atmosphere...

Poor quality food served by indifferent poorly trained staff on dirty tables. Every table we touched was sticky from someone else beer. The food was overcooked and the chicken was dry and the chips smelt of stale oil.
