The best restaurants serving British food in Town Centre Christchurch South West

Fantastic food and service. Would highly recommend!

We had a great time celebrating at Dirty Gerties. Will ran an extremely fun cocktail making session (3 cocktails and a complimentary shot). Would thoroughly recommend this place!

Had a lovely meal steak amazing, sever was lovely.

We have always loved our annual stay at the Captains club for the last 14 years, we have experienced wonderful service from the house keepers to the bar and restuarant staff. This May 24th 25th we brought 14 guests with us to celebrate my 60th Birthday some have stayed before some it was there 1st time. We noticed on arrival it was not as friendly smiley welcome that we have previously had. I had booked the resaurant for the Sunday night 8pm for 16 of us, we didnt get our starter untill 9.45pm and two starters were missing we then had to wait 20 minutes for the missing two salads, we finally got our mains by 10.30pm but again some food was missing ie hand cut chips when they finally dleivered the chips some of them were raw and under cooked. It was so dissapointing as we have always had excellent food and service in the restaurant before, the waiting staff did try to sort it out but it all got to late for us to enjoy our meals, I hope things get back on track, as this truley is our favourate hotel for a weekend break. Kind regards Belinda Cordwell

Really impressed with this restaurant and the service we received yesterday evening! Firstly, the decor is stunning, beautifully styled and just a perfect amount of restaurant / bar combination, the seats were very comfortable and the menu choice was spot on too! I would also like to mention the staff, we had a lovely young lady who took our order but also wanted to thank Lindsey (I'm sure that was your name), who was brilliant with my dad (broken toe), very accommodating and made us feel very welcome. We shall certainly be back - highly recommend to all! Good luck with your launch in March! Kate

Had an overnight stay in Christchurch before a couple of days working in Bournemouth. Arcado's menu looked good so grabbed a table for 1 and was glad I did. Friendly staff, the best burger I've had for a while, decent price, can't fault it. Was pretty quiet which I didn't mind - was fairly early on a Thurs night so imagine it picks up on Fri and the weekend.

Says open till half 2 but doesn’t bother saying it’s either changed times or it was never open until then. Wasted money on a taxi to get here for it not to be open. Looked like a run down place anyways so we might have dodged a bullet

This is genuinely the best kebab I have ever had , cooked with passion nobody can top this place , thank you so healthy and tastes like you love what you do

Went for lunch here on a sunny Friday and the first thing to say was the incredible service by Jasmin. Asked my kids’ names and was wonderful with them. She was so friendly and attentive - couldn’t do enough for us. I had the tuna poke bowl, which was so fresh, vibrant and delicious. Ordered my boys pizzas and for £8 they were really good value. Generous size and lots of topping. My mum had fish and chips, gluten free, which she thoroughly enjoyed. Best fish she’s had in a long time. The setting is stunning, overlooking the beautiful bandstand and water. Hard to beat in summer. Felt like o was abroad!

Went in here three days on the trot so I think that tells you something! We went in here the first day arriving in Christchurch because we were starving after our journey and desperate for something to eat! We found this place so popped in. We saw they did egg and chips didn’t get any further down the menu that was it ordered waited and delicious! So we were looking for somewhere for breakfast next morning looked at their menu and they had an offer on breakfast at half price if you purchased a drink so thought give it a go and yes great. Had family going down the next day so again took them in for breakfast. We got the staff confused with the order to be honest I think they had trouble understanding our Brummie accent! LOL but all sorted again lovely food friendly staff. If I had to find one slight niggle I would say perhaps have more than one person preparing the drinks as you have quite a wait just to get your drinks so be prepared for that. But other than that it is definitely worth a visit as I said we went ready day during our stay in Christchurch we would definitely go back again when in Christchurch well worth a visit.

We are on holiday and fancied some chips we had scampi and chips and pie and chips and the chips were disgusting they were over cooked and tasted like they had been cooked an hour ago nearly twenty pounds wasted it all went straight in the bin 🤮

Excellent venue, very friendly and helpful staff, lovely roast and vast selection of drinks. The outside seating area is beautiful, we hope to return soon for some of the live music!

First time visit with family. Loved Mudeford quay itself. Beautiful place. Popped into cafe, initially just for couple of hot drinks but grandson decided he'd try a breakfast. So the drinks were fine but 25 minutes later and still waiting for breakfast to appear. Strange, especially as people who had been behind us in the queue seemed to have already been served theirs. Although I did notice another customer who had been directly in front of us still waiting on his too! Eventually he got his. So brought it to the attention of one of the girls who said she'd sort it out. Few seconds afterwards a waitress came wandering about the cafe with a single breakfast. We had given table number and name but however we able to claim said breakfast. My grandson got on with it because he was hungry and so I didn't realise that most of it was actually cold..hash brown was the only thing vaguely warm. We didn't have time or the inclination to wait for another breakfast. Had it have been for me it would have gone back! I accept mistakes happen but they must have known that it had been sat there in the kitchen and just didn't seem that bothered. Just not good enough..very disappointing.
