We stayed in the hotel and looked forward to have a beautiful dinner at the Dining Room. Food is nice but way too expensive for what it is. It's a typical example where the prices are so high that your expectations are very high and you get fuzzy. My husband a fillet and had to send it back because it was undercooked, when it came back it was chewy.I had the vegetarian Thai curry which was not as half as good as the same curry from my local Thai in Sydney which costs a third.For Breakfast the Dining Room is GREAT though. Dear 383karinj, Thank you for taking the time to leave such balanced feedback. I am very sorry to learn that you didn't find value for money and I have shared you feedback with Luke Matthews, our Executive Head Chef. We do review our pricing quite regularly and whilst I personally do understand your point of view, we are competitively priced alongside our direct competitors. Nonetheless, your comments have been taken on board and I will ensure we look more closely in future. I sincerely hope you will not be deterred from returning and that we can welcome you back soon. Kind regards,

Recommended to us by locals and we were not disappointed. Easy to find, easy to park (free) and easy to enjoy with such good food and service. We pre-booked a window table for 6 which proved sensible even for the first day of October as the restaurant was quite busy. Ringwood bitter (£4.10/pint) was well kept and full of hops. Some of our party opted for the sandwiches (all priced at (£10 with chips) with crayfish and marie rose sauce very popular. More adventurous chose Mussels with garlic cream sauce (£12.50 for starter size and no chips) were sensational. Large plump flesh, perfectly cooked so still sweet and moist with a delicate cream sauce served with crusty white bread. Outstanding dish!!

One of my favourite pubs in the area for sure, but this pub is so different to all the rest Iâve tried in the last three years. The quality of food is exceptional and the service wonderful. We chose off the specials menu (the classic menu is fine but if youâre looking for that extra special level of dish, then opt for the specials by far) with two of us having skate wing and the other opting for venison. The venison (served with veg) was cooked to absolute perfection and so too, the skate wings that were served with chips and salad. After much deliberation, we opted for two sweets to share amongst the three of us. OMG! The lemon posset was to die for and the caramel mousse served with shortbread....oh my! If these had been our last desserts before dying weâd have been very content. Portion sizes were superb but flavours out of this world. Cannot praise the chef enough. So if youâve not visited The Kings Head then you need to get a table reserved and if you have, then get back there soon! Because we certainly will. Thank you to the back of house and front of house staff for a wonderful lunch experience.

We visited this restaurant on Saturday evening and were left stunned by the lack of knowledge or care taken by kitchen and waiting staff. We chose mussells as a starter which were served with homemade bread. This was 'slopped' on to the table with the bread piled on top of the mussels. The bread was brown with lots of dark pieces about the size of a 5 pence in the mix, when I asked what it was the waiter said I don't know, so I asked if he could find out, he came back proudly that the bread contained walnuts. I explained I was alergic and couldn't eat this. He offered to take the bread off the dish, then thought again and offered to take the whole dish away! When we were paying at the end of the meal the restaurant manager apoligised for the fact that the bread had nuts in but said the chef decides what to make so they don't make it clear on the menu as he decides what bread he wants to make! Not being clear about food labelling is not about choices its about life threatening affects, I was shocked at the blaise attitude of the staff and their lack of awareness, please train your staff and make your food labelling clear. The rest of the meal was nothing to write home about and the service was without any care. Eating out is supposed to be a pleasant experience, from the way you are greated through the moment you leave. The only two members of staff who made a positive impression were the barman who served us in the little bar and the new bar maid who made us feel welcome apart from that there is nothing positive to say about our evening. I'm giving one rating as I don't know if its possible to give a reveiw without a mark but if I could I would give a minus.CCB27,Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. Firstly I apologise that you had a very disappointing experience with us. Please know that we do take allergies very seriously here at The Mill, and do not wish for our guests to suffer from any reactions. Allergies and intolerences are something that we deal with each and every day, and all of our team are trained on how to handle allergies.Having spoke in depth with all of the team that were involved with the service of your food on Saturday evening, it is apparent that nobody was made aware of any nut allergies until the food arrived at your table. Although our menu does not list each allergen in each dish, our menus do state that allergenic ingrdients are used throughout our kitchen and we request that you make our staff aware should you suffer from any allergies/intolereances. Should we know of any allergies, we have all of the information to provide to you available, and the correct measures in place to prevent this happening, however I hope you can understand that if we are not made aware then we cannot prevent this from happening.I will ensure that the two staff members who made a positive impression on your experience are praised for their hard work.Kind Regards,Jack BullerGeneral ManagerThe Mill at Gordleton

A nice lunch with an old family friend who is a local resident and has eat at Pebble beach many times before. Great atmosphere, nice decor and attentive service. My wife and our friend shared a smoked duck which was beautifully presented and plenty for two. I had the tempura prawns with home made chutney and a spicy tomato sauce. The sauce was superfluous but the prawns and chutney were delicious. I had fish and chips which was nice but the batter a touch under done, my wife and our friend had filet steak which was perfectly cooked and very nice and for pud we had two tiramisu and a choux pastry and ice cream desert which was very nice. Overall nice meal and for that reason I would recommend the Pebble beach for lunch and for dinner too!)

I've been here many occasions. I have a notion that the place has possibly changed management and its name to Tres Bon.I visited with two hungry grandchildren.Excellent service, staff were very attentive. The restaurant was very busy...always a good sign. Grandchildren had all day breakfast. I ordered lasagne.The breakfast was apparently very filling. However there was still space for ice cream and pancakes!!!Whilst the lasagne was 'passable', the whole dining experience and ambience certainly 'knocked the spots' off Wetherspoons further up the road.I will certainly be back. Next time I think I'll try the 'hog roast' bap.

Reviewed By Nicholas J
Wanting a special venue for our food-aware daughter's birthday, we chose the Elderflower for a tasting menu, after considering a number of restaurants in the Bournemouth area. We are very glad we did; it was an outstanding success. Every course was carefully designed to produce both expected and unexpected mixtures (who would have thought that parsnip and white chocolate are such excellent companions?), and the service was a perfect balance of attentive but not intrusive. The waiting staff are (as commented elsewhere) really knowledgeable about each dish, to a degree we has never previously encountered (so often it's 'Let me go and ask the kitchen, but in this case those serving us clearly knew how each dish was made â we wondered if in fact they had taken part in preparation). It so happened that one of us has a sensitivity to a common food ingredient, and when booking I mentioned this. The very helpful Katie said she'd ring back with some suggestions, and she did, several times, until the restaurant had, in effect, created a bespoke menu. Really thoughtful and considerate, and meant that all of us had an equally satisfying experience.Not cheap, but good value, and very reasonably priced for a tasting menu of this quality.BTW, I don't understand the comment about dated decor. We thought the ambience very good, and perfectly suited to the building. It certainly didn't feel like an old people's home (see other review below) when we went. Thank you, Elderflower team.

Had a wonderful lunch at lanes with friends. Lovely building, a sympathetically converted chapel with tables on different levels so that you never felt crowded or overheard. We were made so welcome and service was exceptional.It was difficult to choose from the tempting options on the menu . I had a very tasty stuffed mushroom starter , delicious and perfectly cooked smoked haddock with a butter sauce and veg main and a creme brûlée dessert . A plate of petit fours to share with happy birthday written in chocolate arrived with our coffee . Which was a lovely surprise and a very generous gesture from the restaurant .Really special lunch , we all enjoyed our meals and the friendly ambience. We will be back !

We had a short break stay at the South lawns Hotel . Our second visit . This time we dined at the restaurant. The menu was varied but we opted for the set menu options . We both had a fish starter. Presentation was excellent , the portion size was just right and it tasted fresh. I had the ham pie and my husband the whole sea bass. Again , tasty and excellent value. We couldn't resist the whiskey sponge pudding ! All in all we would thoroughly recommend the dinning experience.Not that we had a dog but they had a separate area for dinners with dogs. Inclusive of wine and a beer together with the 3 courses it came to a total of £52.00 for two. Staff were attentive and service was prompt. Superb!We are pleased to read you enjoyed your dining with us and thank you for your review. We hope to see you again soon.
