The best restaurants in Bournemouth South West

Highly recommended. Wide variety of food options. Good staffs and good ambiance

Just order and collect ( shredded chili beef, mushroom chicken and pad Thai) worst experience, never again...waste of money.

The food is superb. Cooked to perfection, the flavours are gorgeous and always piping hot. Won't go anywhere else

Fantástico cóctel con Callum sesiones. Teníamos el lugar para nosotros solos, lo que era perfecto para un grupo o 28! Una gran relación calidad-precio, lo recomiendo encarecidamente!

Enjoyed a delicious seafood dinner here - great spot with a fab sea view. The staff, in particular Lukas and Kamil were so attentive and ensured we had a great evening. The fish and chips, and the seafood ravioli were perfection. Will definitely be back.

Overall a fantastic meal. Everyone enjoyed it and it was piping hot. Highly recommend.

One of the best places for crispy fried chicken and fries on Charminster Road! The chicken is always fresh, well-seasoned, and perfectly cooked, while the fries are crispy and delicious. The prices are reasonable, and the staff is super friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend for anyone craving great broast chicken!

Ramya gave us perfect service. Will definitely visit again !

What a place! Came into Hot Rocks as there was nothing else open, we didn't have a reservation, we just turned up. From the outside, the place doesn't look too appealing but decided to give it a go anyway & we were SO glad we did. From the minute we walked in, the hospitality was incredible! We were told they were fully booked but to come back and they would seat us. We went back in and asked if we could get a drink whilst we wait and instead we were told there was a seat at the bar if we would like to eat there. We sat down and ordered our drinks and food via the QR code, whilst sat down we have 4 different members of staff who came over and asked if we had ordered, if we'd like to order or if they could help with anything. They were amazing from start to finish! And the food.... absolutely incredible! So fresh, tasy, so much flavour and just an amazing find! Highly recommend!!

My wife and I booked a Sunday/Monday getaway. We overnighted and had breakfast in The Hop Inn. We had the warmest welcome on arrival and was shown to room 5. More than adequate and clean, a very short walk into town or the beach, we loved it. We bagged a parking space outside so remained without any parking charges. We had the pleasure or meeting Rocky and having breakfast served by him, unbeknown to us my wife left her watch behind in the room on checkout, we returned later after realising, and there was Rocky waiting for us with the watch safe and secure. Loved the service, friendly welcome and attitude of everyone at the hotel

A great place to visit after a walk along the beachfront, friendly staff and a good family atmosphere.

Great food, great price, enjoyed our lunch. Only slight issue that we had to ask for water a second time.

First time in since facelift and it looks great! Staff are always lovely and enjoyed a cool drink and ice-cream in the sun.

Love coming here and know a lot of people who come here repeatedly too, BUT. They've removed the Lebanese sauce and this was my main reason to come in and I know everyone I work with rave about it, but probably will have to go elsewhere now because it's gone.... Please bring it back

My BFF and I visited Bournemouth for just one night. After grabbing some lunch, we were on the hunt for coffee! As coffee-loving Americans, and first-time visitors to the UK, we didn’t know what to expect from our first experience at a coffee shop. And we found, Lily at the Bournemouth Caffè Nero. 🙌🏼 We always order (or would make at home with espresso-makers) Brevé Lattes, either iced or hot. A standard latte is made using milk, steamed for hot or cold for iced. The brevé means that half-n-half is used in place of milk. But, as we learned as we continued our trek around England, no barista was familiar with a “brevé latte.” Nor did they even know what half-n-half was! Lily listened patiently as we explained our American form of coffee and helped us to achieve something very similar. She did it all with a friendly smile and with professionalism. She was obviously a competent barista and has superb customer skills. Thanks to Lily. We visited the store once again in Bournemouth the following morning and gave our thanks and goodbyes to her. Because of her help, we were able to visit many other Caffè Nero locations and order what was wanted more easily. (Even if they were surprised by this crazy way that some Americans take their lattes. Note: If one is curious about our habits, there’s less sugar in half-n-half than in milk…and tastes way better.)
