Looking for an interesting place to eat on a rainy day during a short visit to Christchurch we discovered this cosy place. A warm and relaxed welcome, and explanation of ordering and the layout of the place convinced us this was the right place. Surrounds are relaxed and cosy. Food and service are equally high quality. Toilets are clean and thoughtfully kitted out. Would definitely recommend and visit again. By the way, the vegan cake is amazing - you would not know it is :-)

Very good coffee (Full Circle) and cake with good service. Nice upstairs room for sitting, chatting, reading (though some of the shabby chic chairs need better padding.

A great little find. Our dog particularly enjoyed the free biscuits...other free items available on the dog menu eg free tickles, tummy rubs etc!! A quirky little place...upstairs is a must to visit on the way to the loos. Where DID they find that amazing coffee table???

Fab little cafe with tons of cake, tons of beer including decent dark ones which is a godsend, a great atmosphere inside and picturesque seating outside. Highly recommended for a coffee or a beer or more whole watching the world pass by for a little while.

What a lovely little bar on Christchurch High Street close to the entrance of Christchurch Cathedral. Nicely decorated and a warm environment with nice seating downstairs and upstairs. Nice array of drinks including guest ciders and plenty of cakes to choose from. It's well worth a visit, and they have a free comedy night every fortnight in the upstairs room.

Sat outside on a hot summers day and enjoyed a warmed halloumi and sweet chilli jam croissant with a chilled elderflower lemonade, perfect. Service was great and done with a cheery smile. The facilities were very clean and the inside decor looked very inviting. A lovely location with great views of the Priory and surrounding streets.

Terribly cluttered, venue with no space at the Bar/Till because its cluttered with cakes and foods, that are in containers that don't look very clean/ cleaned every night especially during this period with this virus. Coffee tastes burnt, on the back end like it's been over roasted by the supplier, they did have Oat milk luckly enough. This venue is also ment to run as a bar, but seems pointless to pop in with only 2 Keg lines and 2 BIB railway lines not cask no badges on the lines. It definitely suits the older generation but the bar / till area needs to be decultered and sorted out, they also have fridges which look like they might no of done Temp Checks on, as most fridges in hospitality have a chat to register fridge and freezer temps, to be honest I would be shock if this venue was rocking anymore the level 1 food hygiene standard. 10 July 24 Beer was served dead, I know that this venue uses BIBs not cask for the ale, but thie beer was far beyond turned. Unfortunately the manageres Jo has no fundamental understanding on hospitality and it shows, as simple processes that most hospitality venues would adhere too and thrown out of the window. Want good Quality of standard of a venue this isn't the place for you. This venue really needs to get rid of the lackluster management as with Jo in charge nothing will change.

Have eaten here before, unfortunately today the service was v slow. We were served a cup of tea before our meal, but we had drunk most of it by the time the meal arrived, some 25mins later. Perhaps be better to serve a drink with the meal and if it's tea, a pot would be more practical!

I have been in here many times. The service is always great and the ladies behind the bar are always lovely and friendly. The last time we popped in was for coffee, chai lattes and cake. The chai lattes are the best in the local area! The cakes are good but are a tad sweet for my taste but that is just my personal preference.

This is a really lovely place, the decor is great and overall it has a really nice feel, almost a bit like the cafe in Allo Allo...for those of us old enough to remember! 😆 For two drinks (wine and prosecco) it was around £12, which is excellent value, especially compared to Soho next door, which for the same two drinks is an obscene £20.50! It would be five stars for me had it not been for the really stark overhead halogen lighting. 'The Snug' conjures up ideas of cosy warm, ambient lighting but it is just far too bright....please dim the lights in there and make it really snug! 💕

This was my favourite go to eatery when visting Christchurch, however on Tuesday of this week, I took my 90 year old mum there for lunch, having raved about it. As usual the food and drink were good. The thing that really let you down was the staff. Sitting just a few feet away from the bar, with just 2 other people there, when I came to order our food I was told I needed to get up, walk 3 feet, and order at the bar, even though the lady behind the bar could clearly hear me. I would understand this if a) I had had to shout for her to hear me & b) the place had been busy. This would have been relatively minor, and would not have earned the 2 stars, had the 2 staff there then let my mother, who recently broke her hip, climb a steep flight of stairs to go to the toilet only to find out that it was out of order. Why couldn't someone have put a sign up downstairs , or said something to her when they saw her heading for the stairs?

There is a reason why it is called The Snug. Snug means warm comfortable or comfy and that’s exactly what it is. Good atmosphere never empty, a piano to play music on. Wonderful staff. Good assortment of drinks to choose from only critique would be maybe more bar snack.

There’s no pressure to leave, you can relax without stress of possibly taking up a table too long and i also recently found out they do events! I will definitely be back ready to laugh my head off at comedy night. The snug needs more reviews, definitely should be in the top 3 of Christchurch

Lovely ambience, good radio station selection for the vibe. A bit dark in places due to the green walls and dark furniture.

I tried their chai latte. It was very milky and not quite to my preference. I also tried a slice of their lumberjack cake which was unusual, but nice. The staff were so lovely! And their recommendation of cake was appreciated. The café itself is very cute and cosy - it lives up to it’s name! The interior is well decorated and the seating is a beautiful mismatch or sofas and chairs.

Having visited a couple of times here, despite the large amount of coffee shops we have in Christchurch, this probably be up there on my list. Although a very small venue, and can get busy quickly (or at least feel busy) the standard of coffee and cakes are good. I would recommend. No complaints with staff, all are very friendly. Lunch is good and reasonably priced.

Just went to the Snug in Christchurch. Even though I tried very hard to make conversation , most of the time it was greeted with silence. I was not made to feel welcome until I bought a drink. In fact the staff , Sarah and another were quite unwelcoming. When I left after buying a drink Sarah begrudgingly said “ see you “ in that tone that you think the person doesn’t want to see you again. In fact the whole time I got the impression Sarah couldn’t wait for me to leave. I don’t go out very often and the Snug is one place I won’t be going back to.

We popped in after a walk at lunchtime today with our dog. The staff are really friendly and brought over water for the dog immediately. Food and drinks wise, we had one juice, one coffee and two paninis and it came to less than £20. We had the tomato and mozzarella one which came with plenty of cheese and the vegan one which had walnuts in which gave it a good crunch. They also came with coleslaw, a small salad and some crisps, which for £7.25 is very good value for money. All of the lunch menu is under £9 per item so we'll definitely be going back for more as it's so affordable and the people are nice.

Cozy setting and homemade cakes was a perfect end to my icy walk across the Avon Valley path to Christchurch. With seating upstairs and downstairs, quirky decor, and charming feel. It was great to sit with a book, a cup of earl gray and generous slice of ginger cake (£5.50). It would be nice to have had my tea in a pot rather than a mug, however, the offer of extra hot water was a nice touch.

Well this place is just like it. Stays open til 10 Knows how to make good cake And better coffee Friendly and sweet staff who obviously do modelling on the side Large selection of local beers so he's happy too They have comfy armchairs all over the place, and we had the ones with views of the sunset .
