Still the best pub in Christchurch just slightly let down by slow service...

Good pub, a former coaching inn, about 15 minutes walk from Christchurch Railway Station. Three cask beers on handpump when I visited. Lots of outdoor seating at the rear some of it covered. The pub is Grade-II listed.

We went into this little pub on the corner for a drink and to watch the England match in the summer. It was really quaint and had a huge outside area with an outside bar lounge. We had some food which was lovely but took a while but it was very, very busy. I thought it was a nice friendly bar/pub, people were friendly as we're all the staff. It had a great atmosphere with large groups of younger people enjoying their night out buy were respectful and polite.

Visited to view a historic pub. Disappointed unfortunately. Requires a 'makeover,' but still to retain its individuality. Expensive, had 1.5 pints which cost us just under £9. We left.

Nice pub. Bar staff friendly. But £6.50 for a pint of Guinness? That's just wrong. It's Christchurch not London.

Quite difficult to evaluate this venue. A couple of really friendly, helpful staff, a couple less so. Some fantastic food some very average. The drinks were good, the atmosphere was fine. The chicken wings and pizza were perfectly fine. The nachos were awful. That's a dish that needs re working from scratch, and at 15 pounds just no! We would happily return for the excellent beers mostly great service and fun atmosphere

When you are selling a pint of Fullers London Pride for £5.60 make sure it is Drinkable. Would not recommend any real ale enthusiast to use this establishment.

Had the Monday special 2 for 1 pizza deal. Nice meal, good service. Just one thing, we were sat near the food store and saw staff bringing out bags of frozen food. I appreciate food isn't always 'made to order' but always remember an old boss saying when I was a waitress years ago, always bring food from the store in covered bags, never let the public see food you are bri ging from the freezer. Lovely quaint pub, good location. Worth a visit.

Visited this friendly establishment on our first night of a week's break in Bournemouth. Although food was just 'good', the entire experience including the service and cuteness of the pub, made this a 4-star review. Receiving a 50% discount off the bill was the icing on the cake!

Sadly probably the worst Sunday roast ever. Only 3 options, beef, turkey or vegetarian. Weselected the beef to which we added some pigs in blankets as the menu said served with potatoes and vegetabes with Yorkshire pudding. It arrived, just 2 thin slices of beef. with meagre offerings of vegetables consisting of overcooked and soggy roast carrot, some savoy cabbage and undercooked cauliflower. 4 tiny, non crispy roast potatoes, 2 pigs in blankets and a missing Yorkshire! Had to advise we ordered extra pigs in blankets (6 extra for £2.50) which I wouldn't have ordered at all had I known my dinner arrived with them! Then he had to go and get Yorkshire puddings. To top it all off the meal was flooded with far too much tasteless and very runny gravy. Absolutey no sign of any horseradish sauce or mustard. We paid £19.50 each for the roast. £2.50 extra for the pigs in blankets. Huge disappointment for the money spent. Wishing we had gone elsewhere like the Thomas Tripp or Darceys in Pokesdown. Far better quality Sunday roast served there for less.

Excellent friendly atmosphere and hard working courteous staff..Very good range of food and drink to cater for most customers, including vegetarian and vegan..can recommend the Naturist pizza. Three food and drink areas, two inside and one in the courtyard. Very dog friendly. We pre booked and reserved a table in the Barn room for the Ebgland v Serbia Euros 24 game... Several large screen TVs set up in every bar area for good view in every area. Great friendly mixed crowd of all ages from 18 to 80. I must commend all the staff who were welcoming kind and really worked hard on a very busy night...thank you

We went to the Olde George yesterday for bottomless brunch and had the best time. Even though it was very busy due to the food festival being on we still had table service and was never without a drink! Vicki who was looking after us was amazing. Food was lovely, came out very quick and great atmosphere. Will definitely be going back again!

Attended a bottomless brunch yesterday at Ye Olde George and the service was 5*. Food was fantastic and served promptly, drink menu offered a variation of drinks and a great selection of cocktails. Despite it being an extremely busy weekend with Christchurch food festival on, we were really well looked after by the team. Will definitely be booking another bottomless brunch soon and have already recommended it to others!

Just went for a few drinks and ended up having just the one, quite pricey over £5.50 a pint and first beer served tasted like vinegar but they did change it, service wasn't amazing though. They didn't turn the pump badge around so would still have served the beer had someone asked for it

Stumbled across this place whilst out for the day in Christchurch (we are about 30 mins away in Poole) It has a cosy traditional pub feel inside. We didn’t go outside. Was delighted to see there were vegan options and a kids menu. Decided to go for a vegan pizza and share with my son. It was the best vegan pizza I’ve eaten out. Even the side salad was very good. The staff were very friendly and recommended a wine that was on special offer. Thank you

Lovely pub but let down by bang average food sadly, visited with family from Australia and was frankly disappointed with their fare, it wasn't bad just not very good considering the fact there's a lot of competition in the town for trade.

We had a lovely experience at the Standard Bengal restaurant...Food was delicious and I would say one of the best in Christchurch...its been there for many years and is always consistent...we will be going back...thank you to all the staff and management for being so courteous and friendly. 👌👏 Just want to add that it very good value for money...if you spend over £35 you'll get 10% off and a 1.5 litre bottle of soft drink..so much better value then any other Indian restaurant/take away in Christchurch and we've been to them all.
