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

Walk along the beach front, lovely coffee on a cold winters day. Cant beat it.

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.

The food and service in this restaurant is so good that we ate there 3 times during our week’s holiday. The menu is varied and we enjoyed every course we tried. Most impressive though was the service. I have to give a special shout out to Eddie who twice managed to sort out tables at short notice (our party was complicated by including a dog, a wheelchair, and being 7 people) and clearly made the extra effort to accommodate us, even by phoning us back after we’d originally been told there was nothing suitable for us at Sunday lunch. That level of extra effort and professionalism is priceless and we shall definitely be returning on our next visit.

Great food and delivery times but wish they still sold ice cream

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
