We've been meeting up monthly there for a good few months for something to eat. It's got a good menu and the food is. OK Recently we've come across a middle aged bloke working there who is rude and sarcastic so we'll find somewhere else in Charminster to meet up.

Visited for new year with the family. Had the set NYE menu which was fabulous. You could see the staff were super busy but were still friendly and helpful. The manager couldn’t do enough to help and sorted everything for my gluten free diet and fussy family members. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, there was a good atmosphere and a live band later on. Will definitely visit again.

Nice bar BUT VERY COLD in the dining areas When you’d expect it to be snug and warm When we commented we were told it’s minus two outside!! Like that’s a reason Service was AMUSING/ haphazard ! FOOD WAS GOOD. We may revisit in 2023 just for a laugh 😂

Just went down to Bournemouth for the afternoon to see our son who is at university there. We took our 2 pooches so we did a little Google search and the tipsy cow came up so we took a chance and so glad we did. The staff (and patrons) welcomed our fur babies and catered for them so well. Food decent. Good selection of drinks and lovely service Will be back

3 of us visited the Tipsy Cow on a Friday night, my partner ordered x2 'Frozen strawberry daiquiris' however rather than being frozen blender it was just strawberry water, albeit they did taste nice. My partner decided to order the same drink which was perfectly made by another bar tender which was made by blender which couldn't be faulted, we didn't mention it the first time as we thought it was just a cheap cocktail, this shows that the first collogue needs more training behind the bar as consistency is important. There seems to be some confusion whether its table service or bar service, and we understand this isn't a fine dining restaurant setting but there where other tables who clearly weren't impressed by the service, we ordered x2 steaks and we requested to upgrade one the sirloin to the ribeye. When the food arrived the previous colleague (the same one who made the watery frozen daiquiris) then messed up the order and didn't include the ribeye. Another colleague who served the food then said 'we don't do Ribeye steaks' which shows he had no idea of the menu, when we also asked what steak was rare and which was medium rare another he said "I assume its this one' low and behold it wasn't correct, but to be honest it wasn't exactly hard for us to distinguish. I feel he was new, and I get we all have to start some were but some more training wouldn't hurt. He then decided to show us the ticket showing x2 Sirloins, trying to blame us for ordering the wrong steak but he in fact didn't understand the order was taken down wrong. Now the food was good and I couldn't fault it, the steaks where cooked very well and the portions where generous, £30 for two steaks and a bottle of wine is a really good deal! The service and lack of consistency has let the Tipsy Cow down, however the food did make up for it, I think they need to take a leaf out of the dancing ducks book at they have food/bar service down to a T.

Oh dear we were sadly disappointed with our roast delivery.. it arrived hot and on time but our lunch was like roast beef soup, a tasty'soup' all be it ...but everything just a soggy mess... maybe consider serving the gravy and Yorkshire's in separate containers?? We however appreciate it's nearly impossible to keep food ,yorkies roasties crisp in transit but this food had no hope with the amount of gravy and cheese sauce.. sorry guys.. we generally love your food, maybe just a bad day ? We haven't given up on you just think we may eat 'in house' in future...

On Thursday evening we came to the tipsy cow for food and drinks. The restaurant was lovely. The atmosphere was good. The young man behind the bar with the tattoo on his arm was super helpful and so lovely. Unfortunately our visit was ruined. Myself and my partner ordered chipotle chicken and margarita pizza. I found a curly hair in the chicken. I felt sick. The man behind the bar checked on us but I felt too embarrassed and sick to say anything. He was so sweet I just said I was full. I then went out the back for a cigarette and walking past the kitchen I saw the chef, who in fact did have curly hair. Not wearing a hair net. I also saw him drop food all over the floor and leave it there. I would to return for drinks. But I will never return for food. Avoid at all costs!

La primera vez que usé su aplicación para pedir una comida para mí y mi pareja, pedí por error 3 filetes en lugar de 2. Esto fue culpa mía, en lugar de las aplicaciones, ya que me apresuré a completar el pedido mientras aún me quedaba la batería del teléfono y no revisé el resumen; debería haber estado mejor preparado.Cuando aparecieron 2 filetes y se dijo que un tercero estaba en camino, me di cuenta de mi error. Al ver esto, el barman sin dudarlo dijo que cancelaría el tercero, y compró la salsa que había pedido mi socio y la diferencia del pedido en efectivo.Me sentí muy avergonzado, pero estaba muy satisfecho de lo comprensivo que fue el negocio con el error. Ojalá el tercer bistec no se haya desperdiciado. Los dos que tuvimos estaban perfectamente preparados ya un precio razonable.

Nos mudamos a Charminster hace aproximadamente un año y seguimos diciendo que probaríamos el Tipsy Cow, uno de los primeros lunes de la ayuda del gobierno para comer nuestro plan no pudimos conseguir una mesa en el centro de la ciudad de Bournemouth en ningún lado. Así que condujimos hacia casa y en realidad nos dirigíamos a probar otro restaurante en Charminster, pero había un espacio afuera, así que nos detuvimos, llamé al restaurante y me dijeron que acababan de cancelar, ¡así que tomamos la mesa! La comida era absolutamente deliciosa, caliente, sabrosa y porciones muy generosas, además el personal fue muy amable. Estamos muy contentos de haber probado aquí y estamos ansiosos por volver

Verdaderamente una agradable velada con excelente comida, personal brillante y deliciosos cócteles. Éramos un grupo familiar y todos disfrutaron de sus comidas, desde el increíble bistec tomahawk hasta el mejor pescado y patatas fritas de la ciudad. La torre de cerveza es muy divertida para las cervezas de autoservicio en la mesa. ¡Los cócteles siempre están muy bien hechos y los martinis de estrellas porno siempre son un éxito! Lo más importante en estos tiempos extraños, el borracho tiene todas las medidas de seguridad adecuadas con máscaras, distanciamiento social, medidas de higiene y la aplicación para hacer que las bebidas lleguen milagrosamente a su mesa. El establo de las vacas en la parte de atrás es un pequeño espacio perfecto para nosotros también los fumadores traviesos. Así que un gran pulgar hacia arriba para la vaca achispada.

We attended the Tipsy Cow for my daughters 21st birthday. I emailed in advance as we had a couple of people with dietary restrictions and they emailed back very quickly with all the information I required and told us we would be welcome and looked after. I also let them know this wouldn’t be your usual 21st birthday as my daughter has special needs, they were brilliant and very helpful. I emailed with Alex who was terrific and set up our booking. There were 10 of us on the night and we were served by Elise who was attentive and professional and very kind. We were welcomed warmly and served delicious food, then came the live music which is what my daughter was waiting for and she wasn’t disappointed!! It was great, she got up and danced and had a wonderful time. Thank you Alex and Elise you really helped make her night, and to the rest of the staff thank you for making us so welcome.

Really poor service, took over an hour for our food to come out at a quiet time, when it came out it was unanimous it was an awful roast, barely any veg, the little we had was undercooked. We had to request the promised cauliflower cheese, it was finally brought out after we had finished and tasted of paint. Drinks watered down as well, the one person who had a burger was also dissatisfied.

This is my experience as parent of a coeliac child at the Tipsy Cow Charminster, Bournemouth. Following a previous good experience with gluten free food and many pleasant evenings at the Tipsy Cow, my family and I visited this evening for dinner. After usual checks with staff, I established that a gluten free pizza (like our last visit) was available on children’s menu. A little while after we’d ordered, a staff member asked us for an additional £2 as they only stocked adult size pizza base. This wasn’t an issue on our last visit so we refused to pay extra. We had especially asked for a starter of avocado as nothing else on the children’s menu was suitable. Unfortunately, she was served half a rotten brown avocado as her starter, which we returned and then over an hour after we’d ordered, were given half a gluten free pizza. The manager / owner was not on site at this point. When I went back to the bar for a drink, I overheard a conversation behind bar asking if my table was ‘still’ complaining. When I challenged this person, he said he was the owner and that gluten free food is less profitable and suggested I do not return despite being a repeat customer. He then sent over a new but inexperienced staff member who was clearly embarrassed to apologise on his behalf. He avoided eye contact with us for the rest of our evening. Food was nice but felt singled out and uncomfortable for my daughter! Hope this sounds like a fair and honest review.

Like this place. Nice and cozy inside and the staff are friendly. My only criticism is that the food isn’t particularly great, lots of it is deep fried and greasy and the pizzas aren’t very pleasant. The croutons in the Caesar salad were just pure grease. Drinks a little on the pricey side too. I think if the food quality was higher, it would be a lot busier than it is.

First visit - strange mix of bar - restaurant - live entertainment ! Booked for meet up with friends but def not the place for a quiet chat ! Made worse by the noisiest table next to us in Bournemouth ! The food was good however - Would say its more of a bar with food than somewhere to go and eat - which is a shame as the food and restaurant area is nice ! Plus ordering at bar and then having to queue at the bar your meal to pay on a busy Friday night isn’t the best way to get return business !! Good vibe but confused identity - seemed / felt disorganised

Me and my mum stopped at Tipsy Cow Basement Apartment (below) - Cosy place, good price, local amenities nearby, felt safe once within the property, a lot of heaters within the property to keep warm, Alex offered us a warm welcoming on our arrival, first time to Bournemouth and would return and stop at this location again in future. Thanks Tipsy Cow to all the staff! :-)

We recently visited The Tipsy Cow for a birthday celebration. We had a large group with kids, which wasn't a problem as the place is very spacious and accommodating. The staff were absolutely awesome and they looked after us very well. The food was also very good and reasonable. The place has a really good atmosphere and we will definitely be back in the future!

Fantastic food - just had a burger and chips with a side of onion rings but they were amazing! Good selection of beers and promos but mainly it is the staff - friendly staff and therefore great atmosphere equals a nice place to stay for a few hours!

My daughter and I found this place while having a few days away. We were pleased to see some vegan options. We decided to get 2 different meals and share. We selected the take away option and it was delivered to where we were staying. We opened it up and couldn’t believe what we saw. We had stuffed peppers which we a bit under filled. And tacos which was very short on filling. The sweet potato fries were adequate. Then we hit the naked slaw. The best way to describe this the little paper containers they give you in hospital with your tablets it,was in one of those about twice the size with a few shredded pieces of cabbage and 1 piece Of red onion and for that we were charged £3.50. Had I eaten in I would have sent it back. Too overpriced for so little for me to return.

Well if you like a bargain meal in a great atmosphere this is the place for you. Whether it's a late breakfast or early dinner there is all the traditional pub fare available. We were there on a Friday night and took advantage of the two steak meals and a bottle of house red for £25, really nice and a great deal you just couldn't beat, nice early evening atmosphere, fully recommend!

Went there with a mate for some food and a couple of drinks. Got the pizza deal for £7.50 (week days only between certain times) and I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the pizza. I was also given 2 small sides for free even though I read the deal incorrectly. Customer service very good and drinks prices are reasonable. All in all a good experience albeit a little quite, however it was a weekday.

We were all looking forward to having our New Years Eve here but sadly we were very disappointed. We booked the 3 course dinner and 3 of the starters were served cold. I advised the gentleman serving and said he would pass it on to the chef no apology nothing!!. Then came the mains the steak was overcooked and dry.. We then had to endure a very drunk girl screaming and dancing were we were sat , not ideal when you want to start the evening chilling before getting into part mode after the dinner. We paid and advised the grntkemsn if our disappointmrnt but he really wasnt interested at all. We decided to leave after the meal as we wasn't at all in the mood stay somewhere they didn't care, so we ended back at our friends. Very disappointing food and service.

This place just keeps getting worse and worse... "Vegan food" is terrible, makes me even doubt whether it's really vegan because of how grim it tastes. I've had the vegan hot dog and honestly, the most underwhelming dish I've ever had. A rotten looking, dry sausage on an even drier bread roll, accompanied by soggy and tasteless caramelised onions, which are probably pre-bought. I thought the chips would save it but nope. Didn't even ask for a refund, since the manager was "busy", probably working his a** off by counting money. Disgusting, there is no hope for this place.

Went to Tipsy tonight. 11 work colleagues to celebrate New Year. What a treat! Amazing main course. Buttermilk chicken was cooked to perfection....home made coleslaw and fries perfect. Atmosphere: just right. Then hot waffle and maple syrup. YUM! every team member LOVED what they had including vegans and veggie. Then .. to add to this perfect night....NHS staff get 25% off ! What a fantastic bargain. Well worth a trip.

Me and my partner were visiting Bournemouth for a weekend and were looking for reasonably priced accommodation. We chose to stay in the self contained apartment underneath this venue and were seriously impressed with our stay. This doesn’t feel like a basement - it has its own airy and light entrance conservatory at the back of building. You step down into a exceptionally clean and well decorated flat with a well sized kitchen/living space plus separate bedroom and bathroom. Our host showed us around and explained how to get into town - just a short walk to bus that takes you straight into Bournemouth centre. He also invited us to dine up stairs....Upstairs we opted for the steak for two deal, which comes with a free bottle of wine on a Friday. This was fantastically executed and cooked exactly how asked. The service was friendly and good fun - the whole place just had a great atmosphere. We didn’t even make it into town the first evening as we had so much fun making our way through the cocktail menu, which are 2 for 1 on Fridays. We loved this place so much that we ate breakfast there on both mornings of our stay. Slightly more expensive in comparison with chain pubs and the like, but made tasty, quality ingredients - they even had gluten free bread.We hope to visit again in the spring.

Thought we'd give it a go and order from the tipsy cow. Beyond disappointed when it arrived. Even the lovely deliveroo driver told us the reason he was late was because he checked our order before leaving the cow and they'd forgotten to "cook" everything apart from 2 steaks. The garlic bread was garlic dough. The steak, absolutely destroyed. Chips & onion rings were soggy, cold and aneamic. The grilled tomato, mushroom and rocket that were supposed to come with the steak were non existent. And finally the chocolate torte was completely missing - Didn't find it amusing that it seemingly got swapped for a bunch of lollipops. Worst "food" ever. I'd give 0* if that was an option. Do yourself a favour and don't waste your money here, a pot noodle would be 100 times better than the stuff you get from this place!

What an incredible venue!! Beautiful interior and outside areas. Food is very reasonable and with a wide selection of choices. The kids absolutely loved the food off the kids menu, and afterwards were more than entertained with the chest full of games and toys at their disposal. Personally, we have come back time and time again to the tipsy cow. The venue has a fantastic variety of events on weekends which includes bands and djs of the highest quality. Following this the atmosphere here is everything you could hope for and more so. We take pleasure recommending to our friends The Tipsy cow and believe that anyone looking for a great food, coffee and service will thoroughly enjoy it here. Following this, the staff at the tipsy cow are unbelieveable!! They are a joy to speak to and taking your order is a breeze. The manager is always on hand and very friendly and polite. The bar staff are absolutely incredible and go that extra mile to ensure you have a great time!! Enjoy The Tipsy Cow, you certainly won’t regret your visit!

We went early evening on a Sunday so the place was not busy. What the staff lacked in experience they made up for with enthusiasm and a willingness to help. Food was typical pub grub of a good standard.

My friend suffers from autism, which seemed to upset the highly strung DJ, who decided that this didn’t fit in with his target ‘cool’ demographic.Unbelievably, the doorman was called over and we were asked to leave because my friend’s mental heath issues were upsetting the poor DJ’s sensibilities. This was a first for me - life’s too short for conflict and I’m just about the least offensive person you could meet, but there you go.Sorry guys, not really covering yourself in glory there.

Dirty grubby place, it's a good job it was dark, filthy toilet no soap, cakes left uncovered on the bar. Kitchen door is disgusting, food was ok apart from the undercooked chips, the wait for food was far too long considering the place was empty

Had a rare child free Saturday and took a late afternoon stroll into Charminster to see what took our fancy for an early dinner. Opted for the Tipsy Cow and had a very nicely cooked Steak surf and turf and my wife had the Jack Fruit wrap which she enjoyed. It was early so the place was very quiet. The service was good and it was a nice experience all round.

Myself and my father visited the tipsey cow with the intention of having a couple of drinks and some lunch.It started off poorly when I asked for a real ale and was told it was SOLD OUT!!!, so enquired what could be an alternative ie bottled ale but was told only lager. I wanted a relatively weak lager .....again I was told SOLD OUT!!! so had to settle for a premium drink. Not forgetting this was Father’s Day, surely you would plan ahead knowing that your custom should be busier than normal???It was apparent that the person serving me ( I think maybe the owner/manager) was having a bad day attitude was not very customer friendly.As I’m sure you can imagine.....we finished our drinks and left without eating.All in all not a great visit, extremely disappointing for what looks like a really nice place to dine. A bit more organisation with ordering stock and some training in customer service then I think things could improve.Won’t be going back for at least a few months....

Went in this afternoon. Had an amazing coffee but couldn’t but help feel like they were understaffed today. They were all rushing around working as hard as they could, but definitely could do with an Extra pair of hands. However, will not fault the quality of the coffee as it was amazing as normal. Don’t know if it’s an issue with lack of employees available or if that’s all they could put on at once but I felt as thought the level of service dropped due to this.

The staff were very rude and the building was unsafe and can cause you injuries. I went to the toilet to wash my hands and accidentally hit the top of my head on the door frame when leaving the bathroom (which was too low, despite me only being 5'11"). After I explained to whoever was in charge that I hit my head on the door frame in the toilet, she said that I should "use my eyes" and that there was writing on the other door frames (but not the one I hit my head on) and that I should look where I am going in the future like "normal people". I tried to explain that all that was needed was some padding or something colourful to stop people hitting their heads but she wasn't interested in my recommendations and was extremely rude and disrespectful, insisting that the writing she had was enough warning, and that it was my own fault I was injured. Not only was I left with a severe headache but was also treated so rudely and disrespectfully by a member of staff I'm never going back here again and recommend everyone else avoid this place also.

The place looks lovely but the food is expensive for the quality of it. The Buddha Bowl wasn’t great, not much flavour, the burger was ok but worst of all was the creamy cheese pasta on the kids menu, which by the way was a strange, not really kid friendly menu. It didn’t taste of cheese it was disgusting, it was like eating a tub of clotted cream and pasta. My son couldn’t eat it. Bad quality food and not cheap at all!

Unfortunately we did not see the sign that said take a seat and someone would be with you shortly. We asked the girl behind the counter for a coffee and a tea, she took the order and we showed her where we would be sitting, informing us she would come over and take the order. Another man came in went straight to the counter and ordered food and drink and went and sat down. So my husband went up to the counter and asked for a bacon and sausage sandwich to be told .... "I can't do everything at once, I'm making you coffee and tea" and threw her hands up in the air. She was so rude, I could not believe she spoke to a customer that way. I work in customer service and I would have been sacked for speaking to a customer that way on the spot. It was not busy and she was certainly not run off her feet. Lesson in customer service 1 Hello how can I help you 2 Please take a seat and I will be with shortly 3 Go to table and take the order and smile!! and say "I will make your drinks and you food order will be with you shortly 4 Upsell - ask the customer if there is anything else I can help you with Positive .... the sandwich was lovely.

A small and very friendly place for a break from shopping. Whether for a late breakfast, lunch or just a drink. Very reasonable price too
