The best restaurants in Poole Town Poole South West

Veg burger and chicken burger went down well, at good prices. Friendly staff. Thank you

I have never been disappointed here. Good, fresh fish, nice crispy batter, decent chips and good portion sizes. Recommended.

Some very loud pounding music and extremely loud customers. It was a bit early for loud music in my view, but trying to attract younger crowd I guess. Probably give this a miss now but a shame as used to be a good pub with previous landlord. Food cheap but overcooked.

Outstanding Service with a Smile – Zoe and Anabelle Make Every Visit Special! Every Saturday morning, after my food shopping, my visit to Costa at Lifeboat Quay, Poole, is the highlight of my routine. Zoe and Anabelle are absolute stars—always greeting me with warm smiles and a friendly catch-up. Their service is second to none, and their attention to detail is incredible. By the time I walk through the door, my coffee is already being made, which speaks volumes about their dedication and fantastic customer service. They truly make every visit a pleasure and are a real credit to the coffee shop. If you’re looking for great coffee served with genuine warmth and efficiency, this is the place to be!

We had Sunday lunch here today. It was excellent, thoroughly enjoyed it. The roast potatoes are probably the best we’ve had in a pub Sunday lunch, tasted very home cooked and not at all processed. We enjoyed our puddings after, great choice and the 2 courses were only £13.95 incredible value. All served very quickly. Will definitely be visiting again and taking the family. Best tasting and value for money in Poole in my opinion.

Popped in for a quick lunch on day trip to Poole, as cafe looked very neat and tidy and menu appealing. Turned out to be a good choice. We had a toasted panini and cheese and onion quiche with salad. Both excellent. Efficient and friendly service. Sorry we did not have time to call later for one of the cakes! Great asset to the town.

I've been a regular customer to hortons over the years, but today's service was so bad I won't be using them again. I get a 45 minute lunch break.. 15 minutes of that was spent waiting to order because they had a family of 5 place an order before me and clearly couldn't cope with a group order. After finally ordering, 5 minutes goes by before I'm told they can't do my food so I said no problem I'll just have the milkshake then that I had ordered... another 15 minutes goes by and I still don't have my milkshake. At this point I have 10minutes left of my lunch break, so I proceeded to walk out and and quickly ordered some food from premier bites opposite. I never did get my milkshake from hortons or able to get a refund as no one was attending the till even after I had ordered and collected a hot panini from Premier bites... Hortons has gone down hill ever since the kids took over. On the other hand I can recommend premier bites opposite. Lots of love the RJ lift engineer.

Excellent Sunday roast! Plenty to eat & generous portions & plenty of meats to choose from.. Will be back again soon. Tim Jane & Maeve.

This was a great wetherspoons, service was good and everything arrived quickly. The food was tasty. We would return... however, there are very irritating beeping noises coming from the kitchen that seem to be ignored by staff. Avoid sitting near it, it drove us a bit mad after a while :/

A long running rumour has it that The Quay is closing. Not very busy and no atmosphere this visit. Most of the real ale pumps were off. The Quay was our favourite Poole 'spoon and is in a great location. We hope it doesn't close.

Ordered a takeaway at 6.45 for delivery at 8.15... 8.45 still no food. Called and was told it would be at least another half an hour, so at least 2 and a half hours from order time!!!No discount offered, no notification that it would be late-very late. If I could've cancelled and got something else quicker I would've. Very disappointed with the service,and customer service.

Awful. The service was absolutely terrible. Their chips are not cooked in hot enough oil and are soggy, sense and very greasy. Dont tell them though. Even nicely. You'll be met with nothing but smug sarcasm and told that you're being dishonest. I explained they were a little greasy. They replied "our chips aren't greasy, we drain them." I explained that I prefer them a bit crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. They replied "if they're crunchy on the outside and fluffy inside then they are French fries." "All chip shop ships are soggy" which of course isnt true. If you explained that you've had them somewhere they will tell you to go there instead then. And if you leave them constructive feedback, they just reply sarcastically "thankyou for your kind words." Bunch of short Bob Karen's with attitude to match. I wouldn't touch the place with a wrecking ball.

All staff could do with going on a customer service course. Rude. Unless you ask for extra hot coffee, it's barely warm. They shout at you to use the kiosk, some people like to speak to a human.

They do Vegan and non vegan food, the staff are very helpful and considerate, I had Lasagna with vegetables and garlic bread all for £5.95 the portion was generous and very tasty, would recommend, shame we found the place on our last day in Poole!

Only wanted something quick and easy to eat and we walked past here and decided to give it a try. Not bad chips at all not too pricey you do sometimes get chippy's being stupidly expensive but was reasonable. Service was polite and we had freshly cooked chips so couldn't argue with that.
