Thank you very much for hosting us tonight 21.10.2024. We had a wonderful evening for Tim’s birthday. The Hawkstone lager and cider is amazing

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!

Fabulous place on the most beautiful stretch of river, we arrived by paddle board and they were extremely welcoming. Delicious food, with a great atmosphere and very tastefully decorated. We’d worth a visit by car or by paddle board!

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! 🤗

Camping up the road at Huntick Farm, we came into the Chequers Inn late lunch time for a bite to eat and we were pleasantly surprised they had a gluten free food option (my wife is coeliac) and we could take our dog in too. The GF Thai Fishcakes were amazing and we felt really looked after during our visit. Murphy our staffie got plenty of loves from everyone, so he was very happy too. We loved it so much we came back for a GF breakfast the next day and we were not disappointed with this either. We fully recommend the Chequers Inn.

Well, where do I start. The staff deserve a medal after seeing how some of the so called customers treated them on Christmas Day. The meal was lovely, melt in the mouth turkey, with all the trimmings. Really enjoyed it and well recommended. Well done.

The carvery was excellent 👌 11/09/2022: Consistently great food. The carvery is amazing and as fresh as it comes. 12/03/2023: Another fantastic meal, in a lovely warm and welcoming environment. Highly recommended!

I have to say this is one of the best roast dinners I've had in Dorset for a long time!!! It had been many years since I visited this cosy pub in lytchette but it didn't disappoint at all! The restaurant was full up with diners, we were seated in the conservatory which was comfortable, bright and spacious! A good variety of drinks were available, the wine was really tasty too (I'm quite fussy) but the roast was on another level and very affordable priced! It was superb and totally worth it. Looking forward to booking again sometime soon :)

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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.

We had all dinner here after getting married at Poole registry office and we cannot speak hardly enough of the place. It was absolutely outstanding – from the service and warm welcome to the delicious food. We love to eat out and have been to countless restaurants across the UK and this place is one of our favourites! Highly recommended.

Service with a smile and a jolly atmosphere inside. Visited for food only and did not stay overnight. My partner and I both had the house burger which was to die for! A solid and tasty beef patty in a toasted bun with a bucket of fries is always a winner! 🍔 🤩 Passing visit for a quick stop to eat after a long drive. Easy access with plenty of parking.Was busy when we visited so service was slower than we would normally expect. Slightly on the more pricey side.

Had a family meal today. Seven of us. Some chose from the Christmas menu and some not. The food was delicious and hot. The service was great too. They were happy to allow us to pay for what each couple had. There were crackers on the table and they were fab, each had the usual hat and joke in but it was the little gift that was lovely. We each had a cardboard tree decoration which could be easily assembled and was very sturdy. This was our second year for our meet up and we shall be going again next year.

The food was absolutely delicious. Everything was well cooked and hot apart from the chips that came with the steak which was slightly disappointing. The service was fantastic. The ladies that looked after us were friendly and attentive but not overbearing. Overall we had a lovely Boxing Day lunch and we will return.

Enjoyable evening at St Peters Finger. Decent menu, with a nice selection of mains to suit everyone. Food was excellent, well presented and tasty. My only very minor criticism is that our table was in a slightly dark spot for my liking.

We visited on Sat 26 October. Two of us and a dog and from the moment we walked in to the moment we left it was a great experience. The staff welcomed us in a really lovely manner, served us with friendly professionalism and attended to our needs. I had the fish pie and my wife had the steak pie. Both delicious. As we left the barman gave us a warm goodbye. We'd definitely come again and highly recommend.

A nice place. We reserved a table which was ready when we arrived. Service was good, food was good. What more could we ask? The place itself is a modern pub. Very nice. The pie not only looked good but tasted good too. It would have been better with real chips.

Went for Sunday lunch today. Was very busy and we hadn't booked, but they squeezed us in anyway, advising there may be a longer wait than usual. There wasn't a long wait and when the food came out, it was delicious and big portions! Paul on the bar was great, as was Selina. Not sure of the names of the girls who brought our food, as we ordered at the bar. But they were good too. Only visiting the area, but hope to come back soon when next at Rockley

Came for lunch on a Monday afternoon, found the staff to be exceptionally friendly especially Jodie who served us, food was average and kind of what you expect for this kind of place none the less still quite enjoyable and filled a hole. Good value also. Plenty of parking free round the back. We came with the dogs and they were more than welcome inside or out. We decided to sit outside and honestly this is where it felt let down really the outside certainly wasn't the cleanest with stuff all over the benches and rubbish everywhere. I'm not saying it put us off as inside did look clean especially the toilets which is always important but we wanted to be out. Otherwise it felt like the clientele inside was locals or regulars at that. Overall though the staff really were lovely and the food enjoyable enough so would use again if in the area.

12 of us were here for a meal for a 50th. This was an already busy Friday night with lots of drinkers and eaters! We all had piping hot, well cooked and delicious meals. Every one of us. The staff were extremely polite, friendly and efficient. We really cannot find any reason to fault them. We had a vegetarian and a gluten free bod and they had plenty of variety for us. Great food, great service and a very good price. I would highly recommend The Red Lion.

Incredible portion sizes, lovely staff, next time might not need to buy so much food each but really appreciate the incredible value for great meals in good sizes. Not super huge amounts of vegan options but the options available were good.
Rating: 5 / 5
I underestimated the portion sizes and ordered way more food than I perhaps should have, but it still wasn't nearly as expensive as I expected. Service receives no complaints from me, staff was good. Atmosphere I docked a point for the sports just because it isn't for me. Visited on a Monday in the afternoon and it was quiet, food came fast.

Great local pub, only second time I have visited with friends / family and won’t be the last, absolutely terrific value, food is well cooked drinks are well prepared, we had gin and tonics - lovely glasses with fresh lime and plenty of ice food portions are generous and the ‘deals’ represent great value , the staff are wonderful and the pub is clean and well run. Easy online booking system too. Thank you for a lovely afternoon team.
