The best restaurants in Christchurch South West

the workers are really rude, and my kids got kicked out of the play are for ‘recording’ kids which they never even done! i was watching them in the play area, they did nothing wrong! i do not recommend this place!! 😡

Very poor portion sizes for the price. Need to wash hands in between using cleaning chemicals and handling food. Not impressed.

All good excellent fish and chips at a reasonable price cheerful staff good very reasonable place to eat use it a lot never had a bad meal

We all had a lovely lunch today for Mother’s Day. Great service, lovely food and generous portions. Thanks for the gift as well.

A really fantastic Sunday lunch in Christchurch! Service was extremely quick and the food was good. What impressed us the most were the fantastic stuff that worked here, when they saw my little boy had pinched all of my roast potatoes (instead of eating his own meal!) they brought me over extras with gravy too. It was a really lovely gesture and hugely appreciated. We wont hesitate to return here in the future!

Both were bad all night after eating Special curry beef was bad, beef chow mein was bad, chips were awful, both myself and hubby were ill after eating, really greasy, extremely disappointed after looking forward to it and spending £47! Put us off going back, really disappointed and unhappy

Frustrating it's closed to non hotel users. Drove 35 mins through traffic to get there! Just don't bother. However, I found a Pub 10 mins further down the road, cracking meal, much better value for money as well. "The sandpiper "

This used to be a regular eating place for many Christchurch diners, but quality and service had gone way down hill during last summer and we just stopped going.... ...But thanks to the enthusiastic efforts of Lucy (Maitre' d) and her staff (some in training),...

We went to The Ship for a family get together over the Christmas period. We were looked after from the moment we arrived until we left. This is a lovely place to meet up and the food is absolutely amazing. A big shout out to the chefs. We were looked after by Eddie who was wonderful and nothing was too much trouble for him. Thank you Eddie 👍. I would recommend The Ship to everyone and if I could give it more stars I would.

Probably the nicest Costa I've been in, lovely polite friendly staff and the best chai latte I've had.

Rude staff, no individual portions of chips with our family feast just one awful box of chips, no bucket, just a bag of soggy greasy chicken, no forks for the coleslaw, no wipes, no salt in fact diabolical . Rang restaurant who were very unhelpful.. was likened to buying street food in a third world country..

Walked from Mudeford quay to here (which isn’t easy for my wife) after checking their website. Arrived at 3pm to have a cuppa & cake only to find they’d decided to close early, despite the website and bill-boards saying open till 4pm. Asked in the reception and they weren’t in the slightest bit interested. Won’t waste our time again.

Long time to wait for food due to there being one guy taking orders and one doing the food cooking and handing out the orders. Lots of people hanging around by the hatch making it difficult to get through when your number is called, they could do with asking people to stand and wait elsewhere. When our food did arrive one of the orders was wrong although I queried this immediately and was given an immediate cash refund. Chips were nice, not at all greasy although there were rather a lot for one portion with the fish! Perhaps a bit too much batter on the fish also.

We are on holiday and fancied some chips we had scampi and chips and pie and chips and the chips were disgusting they were over cooked and tasted like they had been cooked an hour ago nearly twenty pounds wasted it all went straight in the bin 🤮

I agree completely with other comments about being ridiculously overpriced. The fish I bought was on the scales for just a few moments and I think the guy actually just made up the prices. No prices are displayed on the counter. 3 scallops were over £6. I asked for a 1 person portion of hake and ended up with 350g at over £10. I wish I’d challenged at the time. They must rely on one-off tourist trade because they’d never survive from local repeat business. It’s a shame because I like to support independent fishmongers but will certainly not return when I’m next in area.
