The best restaurants serving Default food in Christchurch South West

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 🤮

Our go to Italian restaurant for many years. Excellent food (best garlic bread ever) and very quick service, especially if you are going to The Regent Centre in Christchurch.

We enjoyed a couple of nights here, and all made every effort to ensure we were comfortable during the stay. Special mention to Lizzie, just the best.

Nice local drive-thru McDonald's - called in late night when I got the munchies the other week...stays open late!

We fancied fish and chips as we were staying near Highcliffe and you always have to have fish and chips by the sea. We didn’t have to wait too long although they were extremely busy. Chips were lovely not too greasy and just the right amount in the portion. The fish was lovely and flaky and not too much batter. Good price . It was clean and tidy. They have a restaurant but it was closed as it was late in the evening. We took the fish and chips up to the car park by the beach and sat on the seat to eat them . They always taste so different by the sea. Will definitely be back

All good excellent fish and chips at a reasonable price cheerful staff good very reasonable place to eat use it a lot never had a bad meal

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!

Chow mein was horrible, in a watered down bbq sauce. It should be in a rich gravy. The assorted balls were so doughy, sorry we didn’t enjoy it at all and it was £50

Frustrating it's closed to non hotel users. Drove 35 mins through traffic to get there! Just don't bother. However, I found a Pub 10 mins further down the road, cracking meal, much better value for money as well. "The sandpiper "

We came for a bottomless brunch and once again the service was amazing. Special thanks to Pam, Katie and Ethan. Jamie was once again working so hard to make sure everyone is happy and always has time to chat with us to make sure we are OK. He is a complete asset to the place and is always working his socks off. After holding our wedding reception here in 2023, we make sure to come back at least once a year and we have always been made to feel welcome. Can't wait til the next time. Thanks again Gemma & Elly

Rude staff, no individual portions of chips with our family feast just one awful box of chips, no bucket, just a bag of soggy greasy chicken, no forks for the coleslaw, no wipes, no salt in fact diabolical . Rang restaurant who were very unhelpful.. was likened to buying street food in a third world country..

Walked from Mudeford quay to here (which isn’t easy for my wife) after checking their website. Arrived at 3pm to have a cuppa & cake only to find they’d decided to close early, despite the website and bill-boards saying open till 4pm. Asked in the reception and they weren’t in the slightest bit interested. Won’t waste our time again.

I agree completely with other comments about being ridiculously overpriced. The fish I bought was on the scales for just a few moments and I think the guy actually just made up the prices. No prices are displayed on the counter. 3 scallops were over £6. I asked for a 1 person portion of hake and ended up with 350g at over £10. I wish I’d challenged at the time. They must rely on one-off tourist trade because they’d never survive from local repeat business. It’s a shame because I like to support independent fishmongers but will certainly not return when I’m next in area.

Delivery was prompt with a smile, food was outstanding & piping hot. Best Indian takeaway we have ever had, will definitely be ordering again from them, 10/10 👍👍

Not sure how I’ve managed the last few months during the impromptu shut down of the coffee shop. I work nearby and send all my clients here for the best coffee and service in a clean and inviting atmosphere. I also use the cafe daily for my lunch time coffee and occasionally lunch or a snack; sometimes with friends or colleagues. All the staff in Waitrose Christchurch are wonderful but particularly Graham makes my day with his warm welcome, unrushed but efficient service and gorgeous soya lattes. The average age of resident in xchurch is 65 and it should not come as a surprise that any supermarket offering cafe services is a particular draw to our residents. Please don’t close down again!
