I used to be a massive fan of this place but unfortunately recently the food quality has declined…read moreand the last visit we were met with the most confrontational and arrogant manager I have ever met in a restaurant. When we were told that that didn't serve tequila as a shot, he then proceeded to debate the details of if we were even allowed to have a whiskey without ice in it. We decided not to get another drink. Then as we were about to leave, he came from behind the bar to square up to us/me like a drunk would when trying to cause an argument. I am lost for words to describe this action. Continuing to debate his rules over if we could have whiskey with or without ice and why they don't' serve tequila. Finally allowing us to leave, he then appeared to boast to his friends (perhaps 'regulars') in the bar with his back to us. I'm not going to recount the whole story here, but suffice to say, I've been to many food and beverage establishments, and reviewed my fair share on here as you will see. I'm pretty sure this is the worst attitude towards customers I have ever encountered. We now have a new 'local' and won't be returning here.

Looks like it's been refurbished in the last few weeks - very smart and welcoming interior, modern take on traditional pub theme that works really well without being pretentious.

Once a run down old hotel, this place was bought about two years ago…read more Wow! What they have done with it! A quite trendy place to go now, although the car park is not the biggest in the world. There is some street parking nearby though. The Cow has one Michelin star! Quite a coup! The chef has done wonders and together with the new owner has turned this place around - and I love the name too! The menu is locally sourced and they use seasonal vegetables and products. It's going to be hard to keep me away from here for too long!

We were served a tasty meal but I found the presentation to be poor and the whole experience…read moregenerally uninspiring. We ate as a large group on a Friday evening when the pub was generally full of people on nights out. As a place to eat I would suggest that the cow is better placed as somewhere for lunch, not dinner and especially not dinner on a Friday night. My starter of black pudding with bubble and squeak bacon and a poached egg was delicious. However my main course of fish pie was poorly presented and the accompanying vegetables were soft and the portion was small. The pie itself was tasty but the whole experience was let down by the poor presentation. The meals of others in my party looked good, especially burgers and steaks - if I go back I'll be sticking to those.

Order at the counter, pay and your food is brought to you. Absolutely no take outs, so don't promise your colleague who stayed behind in the office that you'll bring him something. Street parking is fairly easy, parking in front of the restaurant is hit or miss. This place is a little farther South East of Poole than I would like. A quick drive out for lunch is worth it if you're done trying the restaurants in Pool Harbour.

The Toby Cavery has a great location just off of the Fleetsbridge roundabout where some of the…read morebusier roads in the town meet, that is where you will find it. What used to be known as the Fleetsbridge hotel now holds its own as one of the best places in the area for a cavery dinner. The prices are reasonable and booking in advance is normally only at busy periods such as Christmas etc. probably best to cal if you have doubts. The tables have plenty of room so less on the knocking elbows and the staff are very polite and helpful. The food speaks for itself and with the choice of the carvery or set meals from the menu there is guarantied to be something for everyone. The restaurant and bar has its own off road parking and beer garden so great for the summer as well and worth a look.
