The best restaurants serving British food in East Cliff and Springbourne Bournemouth South West

Cheap, horrible sausages but the bacon was okay. Definitely not good value compared to other offerings, wouldn’t recommend.

Absolutely excellent restaurant by the college trainees. The food was superb and where else can you enjoy three beautiful lunch-time courses for just £14.50 per head. The restaurant itself is very nicely and spaciously laid out in the grounds of the college and was scrupulously clean. Service by the students was also excellent. We have already made two further return bookings.

We love everything about this place. Good food. People. Service. Prices.

We could not eat poached eggs for breakfast ... advised hostess why we left most ! Ordered scrambled next day which were OK!

Went to a Christmas meal in the week. No table decorations, I remember a few years ago a table cloth, crackers, napkins. Now nothing, vegetables and potatos frozen. Very disappointed. My friend whose vegetarian paying same price as full Christmas dinner, was only given a pie and peas and a few potatoes. Very disappointed. Good parking facilities. Friendly staff

Only 24 reviews for this venue ??? That is dreadful. Had afternoon tea here with my Mother and 2 friends - and everything brought was for 3 people - yet there was 4 of us. All the cakes were exactly the same and I am not in the habit of having 2 pieces of the same thing. Complete hash up with the tea , everything was wrong and not a soul to complain to. Invisible staff. Bad decor. Cheap cafe food and impropperly delivered by the kitchen staff who obviously were having a bad day. Appalling shame for Bournem,outh as I remember when this hotel was the best in town, but now with new Hiltons and maga bucks being invested in oither new superior hotels in Bournemouth, the Carlton will remain some place that once was a good venue but has now slipped way down in quality, style, service, food and even the bedrooms are below par - well below par.

Better Chinese than imagined! I had the beef in black bean sauce, was tasty and generous portions. Will go again definitely!
