There are lots of black and white photos of boats and ships, all in Poole harbour, and some of them are very old. I had a half of Ringwood 49er - sorry ale lovers, I can't do it! I want my bacardi and coke! Found it just too filling and not the right taste for me - it's beer. More like German bier though. I'll certainly be back to try some of the food. I'll be back even if I don't try the food!

Not to be missed…read more.. During a visit to Poole, we were lucky to pass upon R's Kitchen by chance after dining somewhere nearby. We returned for breakfast the next morning & our experience was extremely pleasant having had a delicious, unhurried breakfast from a varied breakfast menu. As my breakfast date said, "R's kitchen really gets it" - with using & supporting local suppliers for their fresh ingredients of which their dinner menus are based upon; having the philosophy of cooking by season; individually wrapped chocolates on all the tables, plenty of fair trade filter coffee refills, friendly & warm service & modest prices. The waitress mentioned that R's Kitchen is merely a few months old & we hope it does extremely well succeeding with locals as well as tourists alike. In addition to breakfast, they have lunch & dinner menus & offer homemade cakes & drinks during the day. We were sorry we didn't find it sooner to experience their dinner menu & will be back one day despite the 2+ hour drive from London!

Pollo forza Pizza…read more Boy I always had an opinion or notion the best pizza I tasted till date are made in Italy only , the ones I tried near trevi fountain! But to my surprise pizza express has changed my notion ! Delicious and one of the best I had off late This one has chicken with smoked chillies, red and yellow bell peppers , dried chilli flakes , sundried tomatoes , roquito pepper , gran Milano cheese and some fresh parsley Pizza express is a popular chain in UK serving some delicious pizzas to its patrons They have close to 470 outlets across UK , quite a popular and old brand since 1965. And I have tried this one based on my friends recco Absolutely loved it , generous toppings , perfect thin crust and it's perfect The ambiance is pretty descent with comfortable seating options and a small open air space at the back yard The staff are usp for this outlet , they are dutiful and polite They do their best to make sure it's a great day with a memorable and palatable meal for you out there Happiness for me is pizza with loads of cheese and right toppings #polloforza #pizza #krantiawelltravelledgourmand #krantikrishna007

I've been in here twice now, once empty and once full and buzzing…read more The pizza here is really great. There is an authenticity which takes you back to Italy. They use the genuine cheeses so you don't get that glutinous mass that some take aways give you. I had the Venezia which is a vegetarian option and only £7.50. My companion had the same and couldn't finish, so I had plenty for a picnic lunch the next day. Very Yummy!!! The interior is simple and rather basic, but made up for by the friendly staff, good food and atmosphere. It's near enough to the Quay for an evening walk or to join the festivities at the waterfront in summer. Nice clean toilets!

Beautiful food a fantastically friendly staff…read more We were greeted with a very friendly smile and cheery manor by a chap who appeared to be the manager or maître d' . The waitresses were also super friendly and attentive throughout our visit. The steaks were cooked beautifully as were all of the accompanying dishes. Rancho is mid range in terms of price, but you will definitely leave feeling full as the portion sizes generally turn out to be large once you've added sides to any of the mains. All in all a fantastic experience.

A more mature clientele and laid back decor makes it much more my bag. So, to food. Over the last ten days I've eaten crevettes, John Dory and a very 1980s baked Camembert. All extremely well prepared, very tasty and reasonably priced. Table staff are friendly and helpful, the view is beautiful and there are deals on groups dishes if you can agree on the same thing. I'm particularly interested to try the paella for four with a bottle of wine (£60 - 12 Aug 15). It looks like the car park is often busy, but there are normally spaces.

A work colleague recommended this place for a good pint and pizza. The group agreed, and five or six of us made our way (walked through the old town) to the Stable. We all ordered a drink (wine for me, pints for the others ...) and set to looking at the menu. What a great selection of entrees and desserts. We ordered, and commenced to visiting in this laid back atmosphere, hang out place -- about a block from the quay. Pizzas arrived, and oh my it was great. A bit of sharing commenced. I tried the Margharita, and had ordered the Nutter (vegetarian). The Nutter was absolutely fabulous. We stayed on for dessert, had a bit more visiting.
