Expansive special menu for Gluten Free with top draw treatment by staff to ensure allergy is taken…read moreseriously. Very impressed with how they handled it all. Food was beyond delicious. Staff was very attentive and friendly. A nice atmosphere.

OK, so it's a chain, and it's a formula, albeit a quite attractive confection. Cosy Club is a…read morewelcome addition to scoffing options in central Bournemouth now that the Print Room is gone. The quirky decor, though faux, is appealing if you like chandeliers, Victoriana (likely from China), and stuffed stag heads. Music is a quite loud speakeasy playlist. Lots of menu options, from tapas to burgers with a gastro pub range of mains. Nice cocktail list too, and they have a gluten free menu - though sadly, as everywhere else, the only gf pudding is sorbet. Service seems fine, and they serve meals all day from 9am to 10pm, and breakfast is served til 6pm! There are a lot of stairs, though there's a lift to the first floor to get you started. The main restaurant is only open Fri, Sat, Sun in winter, but you can eat in the first floor cafe/bar the rest of the time. There is a third floor dining area with terrace for summer, which we did not explore in January! The food is very serviceable if not exactly a gastronomic experience. We had excellent game stew, with lots of chunky pheasant, venison and rabbit. The promised root vegetables in the stew were a bit few and far between, but it came with champ (mash and spring onion), and was gluten free. Dessert was chocolate croissant bread and butter pud, with fine vanilla custard (for me) and (good quality) mango and blackcurrant sorbets for my GF partner. A rum based espresso martini to finish. So dinner with two courses, and drinks was fifty quid for two, which is pretty reasonable. So, definitely will be back, and we recommend it.

The Hop Inn - Tea is served.

Terrible service. Waitress had a very bad attitude, not helpful at all…read more Fish and Chips £12.95: grease Fish, grease Chips. It came with 2 mushy pieces of white bread not toasted. The Peas look like they came straight from the freezer to your plate, very bland with no taste whatsoever. I left the peas and the mushy bread untouched in my plate. The Calamari was £5.95 and it came with only 5 small grease rings. Very bad experience, too expensive, I do not recommend this place to anyone. One star is way too many. I will never come back.

Well If I run out of other places for breakfast, I would not have much of an option but to come…read moreback here for breakfast. It's a bar I know, but somewhere I was smelling a strong smell of old cigarette butts. Tea served, a, ok. Took a good while, breakfast was served, I ordered a full English breakfast, but you can also get a BIGGER version, I would have ordered this if I had known, but in the end, I am glad I didn't. Came with the toast well buttered, too much for me, but nice they buttered the toast. My food other then the sausage was just warm at most. Bacon was cooked, but not hot, my fried potato thing has a strong taste of onions, yet no onions on my order. Tomato was grilled, but cold in the center. I am guessing it was not all cooked at once and got cold before it was served. Between my and my food, it was a 20 minute wait, way too long for something that should take 5 minutes. Service: only at thre bar, and delived to thre table and that was it, no check up to see if every thing was okay.
