The staff was super friendly and service was good. Not rushed. The food was very very tasty. Portions are quite big so a main meal is probably enough. It looks like everything is homemade.....certainly the steak and ale pie! For an animal lover the best part is also to be greated by the pub cat Smokey: super friendly and full of cuddles

Low ceilings, lots of…read morewarm wooden finishings and it's vey nook and cranny-ish which, for me, is a sign of a place I can spend all day and night in, drinking myself into oblivion. The nature of this visit, however, was more foody centred and it was really lacking. Both of us went for the full rack of BBQ ribs. They were bland and not marinaded in anything as far as I could tell but just came with a pot of BBQ sauce. BUT the BBQ chicken wings as a side dish were mega fabulous and so tasty. Staff were awesome and pulled out every stop to make sure you were happy and fully catered for - really lovely and chatty! If there were more foody places in the local area, I would have definitely eaten elsewhere and saved this pub for strictly drinking. Still a great place, though! It just feels that because there is not much competition in the area, they've done the bare minimum with the flavours in the dishes.

You can have a very decent meal here for very reasonable prices, as well as a quiet drink. It is surrounded by countryside. A bit of the beaten trck, but many happy wanderers have stmbled across it!

Nice drive out there today. Car park looked empty, and no one outside enjoying the last of the…read moreautumn sun. Beautiful setting, with a well thought layout. Packed inside, managed to get a table though straight away. Dining alone, always seems to attract attentive wait staff, maybe they think i'm a critic LOL. Tried the soup of the day, and the roast beef lunch. Good quality, apart from the beef which was a little tough. Again I skipped desert at a restaurant, due to loud mouth blokes, sitting next to me discussing which of the staff they'd like to do, and how they'd do it. Not sure if they have a true bar area, where one can have a beer and a snack. Other than that, great place. I'll be back.

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 Goat & Tricycle however ticks just about every box associated with the world of 'Pub'. First of all the range and quality of the beer & cider sold in this place would keep Withnail and his nameless chum blissfully occupied for weeks and they always have decent guest ales up for grabs. The food is also very 'Pub' esque with the G&T burger proving more a worthy adversary for many a well fed gent. There are also an array of activities for patrons to partake in from a pool table to quiz & fruit machines, my particular favourite however is the giant connect 4 set (warningcan get very competitive after a few ales). All in all a great place and a must visit for pub lovers.
