This place is great! My colleagues and I discovered this pub coming back from dinner one night. I…read morewish I found it sooner. We've been back three nights in a row so far. When I think of cozy English pubs, this is what comes to my American mind. The owners are amazing and we love talking with them every night.

Bar has offers on most days, serves food until about 10ish in the evening and has a licence until gone 2 am most nights. Top tip - Buy a boomerang card at the bar for £3 and you get 25% off all food and drink. Fully recommend the proper Aussie style grub, especially the kangaroo

Have been in this bar twice now to watch some sports (it is billed as a sports bar after all) and…read morecan't get over how bad it was. On both occasions the place was absolutely freezing!! People were sitting around wearing their jackets, scarfs etc. The place is heavily air conditioned and there only seems to be one setting - ice cold. We asked some of the bar staff if they could turn it off it at least put some heat into the place. No luck. I'm assuming they get paid minimum wage because that's about all the effort they make. Place seems badly run also. Behind the bar there is a range of beers on tap but on both occasions they only had one beer available!! Again I'm assuming that the staff there just couldn't be bothered to change the barrels. On the bright side though - you can get a discount card for a small fee which will allow you to get cheap booze - great if you're a student or in Bournemouth for a stag or hen party! If your not then avoid - it's like an Asda version of a bar - cheap prices, uninterested staff, cold and big queues!!

Very local pub on Cahrminster road by the roundabout. The pub itslef s quite large, but I don't…read morethink they actually have rooms to rent despite being called a hotel. There is a sports bar area with pool table and darts but you'll be lucky to get on, normally a long list of regulars are queuing to use this. The last time I went in here was last Xmas and there was some pretty foul language going on, someone got barred and the police were called. You get the idea. The pub is pretty grotty, out of date decor and never very clean. Food in here is limited, but there is a decent selection of drinks to choose from. Wouldn't recommend it.

I ordered " stake and chips " and Michelle asked " would you like Yorkshire pudding with that for a pound more ? " Hell yes, I would.

The food was mediocre and a few of our meals had to be returned as they weren't cooked to our requirements ( steaks too well done etc) and the staff seemed to have a bit of an attitude problem. Normally if there is something wrong with your meal you are offered some money off your bill or a free desert-just something in a way of an apology but in this establishment they really couldn't be bothered!! Definately a pub/restaurant I will not be returning to!
