The best restaurants serving British food in East Southbourne and Tuckton Bournemouth South West

Went there tonight as was very hungry and couldn't be bothered to cook. Was quite busy and stood in the queue for 15 minutes and when it was my turn I placed order only to be told I would have to wait for 25 minutes or more. To say I was rather disappointed would be & understatement! Walked straight to never return again. Now sat waiting in another establishment that's just opened up the road.

You cannot beat the food and service given by Debbie and Kev at Schooners Cafe. The food is high quality, non greasy, beautifully presented and always cooked to perfection. The customer service is amazing. Debbie is so kind, attentive, warm and friendly. ❤️ If we could give more stars, we would. We visit here every trip to Southbourne/Christchurch. Amazing! X

Wow. Great breakfast. Lovely people 10/10

Crap if you have a dog as not allowed inside. Everywhere says don't feed the birds but morons feed the frigging birds. Before id got to the table starlings were drinking milk off my tray. Stupid thing is more dog people than non dog people go there so sort yourselves out and allow dogs inside. Machine coffee so a bit like weatherspoons but pricier won't go back

Visited on a trip out from Bournemouth. Appeared to be a family run concern with staff having knowledge of a number of the patrons. Although it was getting close to closing time we were treated to a lovely cream tea with a decent sized pot of tea. Weather on the day was not condusive to being outside, however there was plenty of outside eating space with views of the river. I would expect plenty of activity on the river in the warmer months.

This was an outstanding venue for our meal. We were warmly welcomed by the fantastic Casey, who attended to our every whim. The food and drink was lovely, well cooked and nicely presented. All round, this was an excellent choice and we would definitely make a 2nd visit. Great job to Casey at front of house and to the managerial and chef team in the back. Well done all round.

I think it's the best burger and chips I've tasted in ages 😋

Great place to sit on cliff top and have breakfast. VIsited in September on a sunny day and sat outside to an amazing view. Had the full English Breakfast which was very good. Service was good and it was quite busy. We will be back soon
