The best restaurants in Town Centre Christchurch South West

We had a very disappointing meal today (contrary to all takeaways we ordered from this place) . May I say... the person who took our order over the phone was very nice, handled the complaint very professionally. They forgot to add the kids' meals, and all the chips were so over fried that the inside was empty. Take this as constructive criticism. Don't do it... you will push customers away... Take the wastage, and don't give those overly cooked chips to customers.

Late breakfast, coffee, stop. Good selection of sweet and savoury

Fantastic!!!! I love this place xxx

We have use the Priory Fryer lots of times and it is always brilliant but today was my husbands birthday and they did us proud! Balloons, table decorations and they gave us plates etc for the birthday cake that I brought in and a birthday card! Couldn’t have been more helpful and kind and FANTASTIC fish and chips…recommend you give it a try! Thank you

Conveniently located in the main street of Christchurch, modern coffee shop with healthy breakfast menu (avocado on sourdough with smoked salmon is my favourite)

Popped in on my own for a bit of late lunch, the food was lovely, very tasty indeed. Sadly I felt rushed by the staff, who were very pleasant, they just seemed to want me out ASAP. One waitress came for my plate.bowl as I was eating my final mouthful, then another brought me the bill within a minute and astonishingly brought me the card machine almost right away, less than a minute anyway. This was about 4pm and the place was far from full. Is this how everyone is treated? If they’d passed me my shopping bags I wouldn’t have left less wanted, I ended up leaving my drink, and no “Thank you’ as I was herded out either. A shame as the food really was lovely, maybe delivery next time?

Visited Monday afternoon, attracted by the owners sign that the desserts were home made. I had a chat with the owners about tiramisu.. My experience was based on a visit to a small pub/hotel in Wales 35 years ago where the owner/chef said it was his signature dish. The incredible taste has stayed with me all these years. My wife tried it for the first time 3 weeks ago after listening to me for all these years. She loved it. The lady in the shop said theirs is made with love. Brought some and tried it at home. Pleased to say it was a total taste success. Hopefully we can visit when we have more time.

Stumbled upon this place on way back to train station. Was hungry but only had time for snack. Spotted the Smoothies on the board and asked if the chap could make it less thick. Was duly obliged and the Tropical one was excellent. Had the New Yorker wrap. Very tasty. Came with amazing coleslaw and a small (exceptionally) salad garnish. The bill was just shy of £13 which I felt was a lot considering the board outside advertised a Rise & Shine breakfast for £3.75. However I was aware of the prices and felt it was acceptable when ordering. I sat outside but the inside looked welcoming and was very clean. Oh and there were delicious and tempting looking cakes on a Coffee & Cake £5 deal. Next time 😍 Definitely found my stop off place on my next visit.

Vine aquí al ver la gran M mágica en amarillo brillante y no me decepcionó mi café con leche, ya que estaba absolutamente delicioso con la intensidad adecuada.

The food was amazing, it was fast to come and the atmosphere was friendly and cheerful. Even got to witness a birthday celebration where the whole kitchen came to celebrate. We really enjoyed our time here and will be returning.

Wonderful service, lovely food, fab location.
