The best restaurants serving British food in Poole South West

The best ingredients on freshly baked rolls are made in front of you by the best people. Everyone near here says the best about this shop. At busy times there may be a bit of a queue but it's well worth the wait. They now have tables so you can enjoy your food near by. The homemade carrot cake is worth a mention.

An amazing place for a cup of tea, homemade cakes and party bookings (the host is willing to be creative) from a paw patrol theme to Alice in Wonderland. The cream tea trays and buffet style food trays that are available to be delivered look delicious and all prepared fresh. Would highly recommend.

Excellent scones. Amazing friendly service. Lovely atmosphere. A must go place to experience an English tea. Hidden gem in Poole.

Nice menu, good selection, generous portions ,reasonable prices & very tasty food with friendly staff a good 1st experience & def go back

Staff were very lovely and welcoming as soon as we came in . Food was fresh and of a great quality. Toilet were clean and to a high standard

Always been well fed and 1 of the best cafes around

Celebrating my wife's birthday at the best seafood restaurant on the south coast, once again we were not disappointed, the pub was exceptionally busy, which is not unusual but we were shown to our reserved table which is always advisable as the pub/ restaurant is always busy, and enjoyed the most fabulous Sea Bass (wife) and Red Gurnard for myself. Staff always very attentive and polite, the Poole Arms is a definite must for seafood lovers wether you live locally or just visiting Poole and I promise you will not be disappointed, thanks to everyone for a very enjoyable evening.

Nice breakfast, service was great, very friendly. One thing I would say is that the toilets aren't located in a good place, you have to walk into what seems to be kitchen area. Not good to have loads of people walking in there

Gone down hill since changing hands - smaller less quality fish with too many simple take away order mistakes l (mushy peas today which should have been curry sauce), with little effort to address concerns.

My Mrs and I went here for breakfast before having a wander around Sandbanks. Food was lovely . Staff were friendly. For two large breakfasts and two bottles of drink though we paid almost £30, we found the cafe to be a bit pricey.

A proper full English at a sensible price, add to that nice friendly people. What's not to like. 😁

So lovely and peaceful to sit in. Great drinks. So accommodating. Adorable handmade local gifts to purchase. A cosy community safe space.

This is such a lovely restaurant. We were warmly welcomed by friendly staff, they couldn’t have been more helpful. The veggie burger was superb, tasty with the addition of grilled halloumi, avocado, rocket salad, tomato chutney and triple-cooked chips - divine! My friend had the sea bream, perfectly cooked, with sauce vierge on a bed of delicious vegetables. Such imaginative combinations of flavours and textures for both dishes and the seasoning was perfect. There is such a delightful ambience in this restaurant. Thank you to everyone - we will be back!
