English Oak Vineyard

We visited on Saturday 28th for my birthday and it was such a lovely way to spend a couple of hours appreciating some fine English sparkling wines. Andrew and Sarah are such fantastic hosts -Highly recommended!
Rating: 5 / 5
We held our wedding recently in August at the Vineyard, and it was honestly idyllic. Andrew & Sarah were so warm and welcoming, and Danielle the venue manager and planner extraordinaire was truly so wonderful and ensured everything came together perfectly on the day. We couldn’t have picked somewhere more beautiful, and couldn’t recommend the vineyard to other couples looking to tie the knot there in the future.
Rating: 5 / 5
We were gifted a tour of this wonderful vineyard by some friends and what a lovely experience it was. Andrew and Sarah who own and run the business personally delivered the tour, and their passion and expertise came across from the outset. The environment is relaxed and the setting is beautiful. The tour ended with a generous wine tasting session and we were blown away by the quality of the wine. It is exceptional, easily better than the vast majority of Champagne you’ll ever have. So much so we treated ourselves to 6 bottles of different varieties to enjoy at home. I can highly recommend both the tour and the wine, simply exceptional.
Rating: 5 / 5
Lovely property with the vineyards literally "touching" the tasting room, magnificent views. Matched by a knowledgeable and charming host serving some exceptionally well made sparkling wines. The range of styles is precise with each having character and pose. Thank you Andrew and Sarah for allowing us to glimpse the hidden gem you are, your hospitality and wines are generous and appreciated. We'll be telling our friends, but only those we really like!! Thanks, we'll be back soon.
Rating: 5 / 5
Great time having a tour of the vineyard, just a couple of weeks before harvest. The wine tasting wasn't too bad either. Great hosts.

Rating: 4.8 (450) Price Level:
Excellent friendly service. Nothing too much trouble. Delicious food sensibly priced. We had Pork schnitzel with a creamy freshly made mushroom sauce. Lovely. Our friends had sea bass and grilled salmon nicoise and very much enjoyed it. Highly recommended.
Rating: 5 / 5
This was our first visit and we were very impressed. The fish platter had a most interesting selection of fish and was beautifully presented . The service was most friendly and courteous. Our only negative comment was that the garden , where we ate, could have been tidied up with some more colourful bushes.
Rating: 5 / 5
The welcome, service, food and presentation were all of the very best. We had dinner here last time and this was a lunch visit. Our friends were obliged to bring their very difficult and antisocial dog. Nothing was too much trouble with the staff. . Everything was very good indeed
Rating: 5 / 5
We picked the Golden Fox after reading reviews and we were not disappointed. I felt the bar area was a little dark, but we were soon accommodated in the restaurant. Really good to see that the restaurant is a no dog zone. The menu is not extensive but with the daily specials there should be something for everyone. It's worth noting they do not have a children's menu but modify some of the menu items to make a child's portion. Our 11 year old Granddaughter made short work of the adult 8 oz steak! The food was very well cooked and presented and portions were generous. Staff were welcoming, friendly and attentive. For the quality and portion sizes, the prices were good A great new find to add to our list of "must returns"

My husband and I ate at the Golden Fox after reading great reviews on the food, the staff and the facilities. We were not disappointed. Absolutely fantastic food. Wonderful staff and spotlessly clean facilities. The whole place had a wonderful ambiance which only enhanced the whole experience. They were also very welcoming of our dog Max.

Nice friendly service and good food, I had texas boxed breakfast which was really nice, the hotdogs were nice too. Will have to revisit to try the pancakes. Enjoyable experience worth popping into
Rating: 5 / 5
This place is simply phenomenal. The atmosphere is warm, friendly and so welcoming. The food is fabulous. The staff are super friendly and it's kind of place that you can walk into on your own but never feel alone. The live events are fantastic, everyone has a great time and you leave that place buzzing with a huge smile on your face and wanting more. Cannot wait to go back and enjoy another night of smiles and laughter. So glad the owners have chosen to be in Hamworthy. Thanks for bringing a touch of country to us all.

This is the former Rivos Hub site turned into an American country n western style venu. Great just for coffee, fantastic snacks burgers etc, and now they have live events. I pop in here just for breakfast which is excellent quality and always friendly.
Rating: 5 / 5
This is literally my favourite place, I’ve not felt this welcome and at home at any type of venue in a long time. I’ve found my people. The owners and the staff are fantastic. Great atmosphere and great food. I highly recommend the American breakfast box. Their opening night was amazing for so many reasons 🥰. The band nights are so much fun but also just chilling there and enjoying the country vibe is pretty awesome too. Recommend everyone gets down there you wont be disappointed.

Great location, best for Sunday outdoor coffee. Unfortunately, they have stopped serving brunch before 11am, so to share the food experience you have to be a very early bird. I would definitely recommend visiting, coffee and the view is very good.

Wonderful place, sitting in the covered outdoor area overlooking the harbour. Service is relaxed and friendly. It's certainly not "Fast Food", but then in this lovely relaxed environment, who cares! Some lovely fish dishes on the menu and for three of us having a main and dessert with a bottle of wine and a pint of Doom Bar the bill just broke the £100 barrier. Food was excellent and we were lucky, the sun shone and we had a lovely lunch. Bare in mind that prices of each dish is cheaper by a pound or two if you are a member of the club.

Rating: 4.6 (1514) Price Level:
We had a skittles party and were in the side room. This was great but there wasn't enough staff for the busyness of the pub. We had to join long queues for a drink in the main very busy pub instead of using the bar hatch in the games room which interrupted the play of the games. The food was good value for money and the staff were friendly and helpful. They also had a little outdoor play park for young children. Definitely recommend this establishment for family gatherings.

A lovely run pub visited for dinner while on holiday to the area will definitely return when next in the area. The meals were brilliant value and had an excellent customer service and great pub atmosphere.

Great atmosphere and food. The staff were very attentive and friendly. We always choose to eat here when visiting the area. It’s so good I would advise to book. Plenty of free parking on site too.
Rating: 4 / 5
Nice pub restaurant not been in a longtime. 3 stars you may say not good, (3 is my new 5) as we all give 5stars for good food and service, which this was did they go above and beyond, yes they did so let’s make it 4 stars. I’ve given 4 because they were busy and had a lot of reservations all but the skittle alley was full, Nigel said they were busy and the only place they could accommodate us was the skittle alley. Food came out hot and well presented. Only negative because we were stuck out the way the table wasn’t cleared away before desserts. See you again.

I can’t express to everyone how amazing this place is , we as a family of 5 was so looked after by the staff , the older gentleman at the bar is just the most amazing person, the two younger girls also couldn’t do more to help , looking at this from the outside point it’s almost a if they want to make the customers happy “ which they do with pure ease “ but on the other hand you can see how well looked after the staff are and how they don’t like to over run them , which is so beautiful to see , we booked twice over two days we loved it that much , until next time !! Thank you once again xx

Poole Arms
19 The Quay, Poole BH15 1HJ, UK | Seafood Restaurant P: 01202 673450
Rating: 4.7 (1304) Price Level:
The food at Poole arms was so delicious. The portions are huge and you can tell that everything is freshly made. The menu is also really well priced, we had starters, mains and alcoholic drinks for two at around £80. As the pub is so small I would definitely recommend booking. We booked on the day and only had the choice of first or last table as they’re quite popular! It’s very quaint inside but is very old school pub style and not very modern. All of the staff were really friendly so if you are looking for a lovely old pub experience I would thoroughly recommend.
Rating: 5 / 5
Absolutely top marks in all departments. Lovely warm atmosphere, efficient professional service and extremely tasty fish casserole and fish pie. The place was very busy unsurprisingly due to the quality of the experience, so reservations would be recommended.
Rating: 5 / 5
We had a really enjoyable lunch with excellent service and food. Very lucky to get a seat as it was so busy but a very nice lady managed to find us a table.

Dishes was tasty. Fresh oysters. We had fish pie and haddock pot. It was delicious. Prices reasonable. Better to book in advance if you want to sit inside. But there is outdoor sits as well.

If I'm honest I thought that the mushroom wellington was a boring option. However, it was delicious. Best veggie christmas dinner. Hot, excellent service, friendly staff and nice ambience. Be nice to have another option if I came again though. Thank you!

Went for a lovely Sunday family meal out 😊, this place didn’t disappoint! Food was delicious and beautifully presented! Chefs are clearly skilled! And credit to the waiters/waitresses… very attentive & caring. We all really had a lovely lunch here, and it was extra special because they had someone playing live music (piano) was brilliant 🤩 Thank you to all your team, we will be back again! 🤗

Well we hadn't planned this visit and dropped in on the off chance. It's not an old pub, but the interior is in a traditional style. We were greeted and seated very quickly by a great host. Food selection was very good and standard fare for this type of pub. Food was well cooked and plentiful and t was very good value for money. Between three of us, it cost nearly 67 pounds without alcoholic drinks. Great find and well worth trying out.

We stayed here for 2 nights. Really clean, modern rooms and great breakfast. Rooms are in a new building next to the pub. Free water bottles, tea and biscuits. Great place to stay if near Poole /catching ferry etc

My husband treated me and family to a stay here for my birthday. What a lovely place. The staff were so attentive and nothing was too much trouble. The whole place was very clean and perfect, I could not fault it. There were lots of little thoughtful touches that added to the ambience of the place. It definitey has the Wow factor. The beds were really comfortable including the pillows and the rooms had everything you could need. There was plenty of bottled water and also fresh milk for the beverages in the little fridge provided in the hall. Everything semed to have been thought of and was top quality. It was very quiet and we slept well. The full english breakfast was cooked to order and you could have the vegan/vegetarian option. There was plenty of choices and it was all good. We had a meal in the evening and all 4 of us had different choices, everyone said how delicious their meals were and the service was excellent with the staff checking that everything was OK. The price was very reasonable. We will be going again for sure.

We had the pleasure of booking the Guildhall Tavern for our wedding lunch reception and we had the most spectacular food and wine pairings topped with the best service. Our guests absolutely enjoyed the menu that was curated for the occasion by the chef. We are still raving about the food almost a month later. Also, if you're there please do try the English Sparkling Wine (Champagne) it was divine. Thank you to the Guildhall Tavern team for giving us the best treatment and elevating our dining experience, making our day even more special.

16/8/2024-Friday. My husband treated me to a surprise dinner at The Guildhall Tavern, Poole. The moment I step inside this restaurant. The recognition awards on the wall caught my eyes. As I love to enjoy good food. We both started off with 2 starters each. As we couldn't decide which. The food was superb quality, fresh and nicely done with perfection, and a well-blended taste. The staff were very attentive. We enjoyed every dish that was being served to us from our choice of selection. We definitely came back. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
