The best restaurants serving British food in West Southbourne Bournemouth South West

Took my fiance to Dicky’s for her birthday meal and was very happy with my choice.Service was good and the food even better I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Called in for a coffee and breakfast. Great service and could not believe the amount and quality for the price. Will be back again.

We live locally and visited the Larderhouse on Easter Sunday. Table was for 3pm and we were very much looking forward to one of their lovely Sunday roast. We gave them our order of 2 roast beef's after checking the beef wouldn't be well done. I also ordered a glass of Malbec which I was told they didn't have but offered a different equivalent wine. It then took 50 before our meals came. Only to find that the beef was so tough we couldn't cut it. The roast pots were dry and tasteless, the cauliflower cheese had hardy any cheese in it. The greens were also tough. All in all not a good meal. We complained to our waitress and she took our meals back to speak to the chef. She then told us that she would take one of the meals off the bill. Bearing in mind the beef roast dinner is £26. We then asked for bill only to find that the equivalent glass of wine I was given was £2.50 more. Consequently we paid the bill minus the service charge and left hungry. We were very disappointed as in the past the roast dinners have been excellent. Thankfully it was just the 2 of us as normally we would have taken guests. That would have been very embarrassing. We sadly won't be going back to the Larderhouse any time soon

The Spyglass and Kettle Pub is a brilliant night pub for good food, drink and then of you fancy it, dance the night away with a live band. I am a regular. Love the place!!! Thank you Jo xx

Lovely place for a chilled out chat
