The best restaurants serving British food in West Highcliffe Christchurch South West

We had been looking forward to Christmas Day at the Lord Bute for a long time and we were not disappointed! From first entering the incredible looking venue, the staff were both polite and attentive and once seated we were treated like royalty! The selection of wines and spirits was excellent and the food was served promptly with a smile. The overall experience was incredible from start to finish. The Lord Bute has been the talk of the town for a while since the new owners took over and we were so grateful to be finally able to experience it! Highly recommended, will definitely be back!

As a garden centre, it’s your typical affair. A selection of household plants indoors, garden equipment and generic household items. When we asked about the dog policy, “if I wanted a dog, I’d buy one, they’re not welcome anywhere in the store.” was the response from front desk. Strange how they profit from selling pet items, including a dogs welcome sign, but have a real attitude towards dogs.
