The Gatehouse grill is right outside the terminal which was a good start , we explained to the waiter that we were short on time and he found us a table straight away ,he took our order which was chicken stuffed with ricotta and spinach,roasted vegetables and a tomato based sauce. The restaurant has a welcoming and smart feel , the staff are very knowledgeable about the menu and extremely attentive. The food arrived and it did not disappoint ,it was delicious ! It was a great experience and I would highly recommend the Gatehouse Grill!

Medium was medium rare, but that's better than over cooking it. Service was not great. Our server was not well versed with the food or drinks and not able to answer questions. We were stuck in a dark corner. Tables around us were attended more frequently and sooner, even when they arrived after us. Wine pours are adequate, but spirit pours are very light. A double whisky was so small that I decided not to spend the money on a second drink. That was after the bar was not able to make a very standard cocktail, and the server had no clue either. So 3/5 stars because of poor service, a mediocre bar, and expensive alcohol.

We booked a table in the morning knowing that places are usually fairly busy on Friday nights, when we arrived our table wasn't yet ready, but we weren't fazed we sat at the bar and ordered drinks while waiting for our table. Thankfully our table was ready after about 10mins, their cocktails were actually very tasty and the bartender was attentive and informative of the different drink options. Once seated it took about 15mins for our server to come to our table, we ordered the honey beer bread as a started...when it arrived it tasted stale and the beef dripping butter had a very strange taste...we ignore that assuming it just wasn't something we loved, then we ordered our streaks and shared a side of mashed potatoes and a side of onion rings...I will say the steak was cooked a perfect medium rare as I requested but it was lacking seasoning. A bit of salt definitely helped the steak! The sides were not good the onion rings looked nice and crispy but the inner batter was raw and they tasted overly oily, the mashed potatoes weren't creamy they were dry and very bland. Service was slow the whole night, but on the plus side it gave us a chance to really take in the art part of the restaurant. I adored how each both was a different theme very cute and unique. Over all the steak was mostly good, but the food was overpriced for the quality.

Front of house staff are very pleasant and efficient too. This place has long been a favourite haunt for people that want a decent meal in town and it's my local restaurant as it's just down the hill from me. So I was hoping that it would be blinder so that me and the missus could wander down for dinner and drinks on a regular basis and not have to fork out a taxi. Unfortunately not. The menu lacks imagination, and appears to be devised by someone who really can't be asked with doing anything new and interesting. For instance there was a choice of 5 starters, almost all of which were repeated in the main course section, i.e. mussels as a starter or a main, crab cakes as a starter or a main, etc. The other odd thing was the mussels, listed as local - well they can't be that local as we're not near the sea. Furthermore, after a bit of questioning the kitchen (thank you very helpful front of house girls) it transpired that their mussels were supplied by Samways in Bridport. Now Samways is a very good supplier, but their mussels come from wherever they can get them, mainly Cornwall, Wales but sometimes from Scotland. The local mussels (well as close as you can get) are from Portland which can be very dirty. I suspect our mussels were from Cornwall due to the clean shells, but that's a pure guess. One page of the menu was dedicated to steaks - every type imaginable. The girlfriend as ever went for fillet steak, even after my advice to the contrary. My worst fears were realised when this thing came out, which although technically fillet, didn't really look like one, more like a sirloin with the fat cut off. It also had no real flavour, cue more pepper sauce. In summary, I'd rather spend the extra money when going out and go somewhere great, like The Green in Sherborne. Maybe I need to move there? See my other reviews for good places to eat in the area.

(I may be a veggie but it doesn't mean I love lettuce leaves!) So when my friends planned Sunday lunch in The Cowshed I sighed a heavy sigh. But I had nothing to fear - with two vegetarian options on the lunch time menu, at least I had something to choose from (Albeit a standard veggie burger or a goats cheese tart - two 'classics') and since this was a restaurant for meat eaters I could hardly complain! My burger was delicious, served with tasty chunky chips and washed down with hearty cider. My friend's roast dinners looked fabulous too. The service was very welcoming and the atmosphere was just what you want on a Sunday - full of fun and laughter.

While The Cowshed's poster mammal isn't smiling it still tickles me so I agreed to dinner here with my steak loving other half. The focus here is all about good old-fashioned British dishes, particularly steak and it's many guises. My partner ordered a steak cooked on a hot stone tablet right in front of him - similar to the way you can get hot plates in Indian restaurants, except this actually allowed him to partially cook the steak himself. As an occasional vegetarian there wasn't a great amount of choice for me to pick a main course but the starters and desserts were divine! It is quite pricey but I would come back for the chocolate mouse alone and my partner can whole-heartedly vote for the sirloin steak!

The service was also friendly and polite, and we really appreciated them keeping the kitchen open for us! The reason I gave it 4 stars was because the lighting was very dim. As you can tell by my picture it was dark and I could barely see what I was eating! However if I return to Bournemouth I would definitely come back here!
