The best restaurants serving British food in Canford Cliffs Poole South West

A very enjoyable and good value breakfast, efficient service and dog friendly, we all look forward to returning in the near future.

A lovely place for a light lunch, we had toasties which were tasty and beautifully presented, and cappuccinos which were beautifully smooth. The place itself is lovely and the staff extremely friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back!

My husband and I attended on Saturday as first time visitors. The cafe was very lively and busy, we ordered hot food: A special small beer battered fish and chips and the roasted heritage carrots and whipped goats cheese, both delicious and we were really satisfied overall with the food and customer service from all the staff, lady on the till was really lovely, kind and patient (even if there was a queue of people) I have worked in customer service before and I really do applaud her and the other cafe staff who were really efficient, friendly and made sure everyone was fully satisfied. The gardens were also very beautiful and scenic. The only criticism I do have is regarding the comfy seating area where the sofa was a bit worse for wear and had obviously been there for a while. We will happily return nonetheless.

Nice cider and staff. Very welcoming and friendly.

Took 30 minutes to get our first drink and about 45 minutes to get our food order, food was basic at best and my pizza was dry and just had pepperoni on it, very basic and not very nice. Finished food and they left our plates on the table for one hour, waited for 2nd round of drinks for over 45 minutes, at which point we asked for the bill due to the delay. The staff had a no care attitude, we’re totally disorganised and completely chaotic. When you come for a meal whilst being on holiday you expect professional standards and a restaurant to want their customers to have a nice time, neither applies in this case. Worst restaurant experience I’ve had in many years - avoid at all costs!!

So-so disappointed, we went there as it was a friend’s birthday and had pizzas but they were as tough as old boots, the knives would not cut through the base, when I tackled the waitress she said it was the way we cook them! I’m 75 so had many pizzas in my time and this is way down my list. The sweet course was nice but at £9 + the slice of cheesecake is the smallest I ever seen and they didn’t even give you a fork so had to use my finger to get it on the spoon. What a let down for a high class area!!!!

We popped in here whilst walking from Bournemouth to Sandbanks. The setting is good , tidy and clean. Service was good and there was a range of food options. We didn’t have to wait long to order and our food was delivered within 15 mins. We had the jacket potato’s and they were lovely. Hot, tasty and fresh. The side salad was plentiful.
