“The menu is adequate and the food well cooked and tasty.”

Good cooked breakfast, cappuccino was a bit on the weak side for my taste but overall excellent value for money, lots of seating, friendly staff, toilets and free cold water refills.

Some egg and mushrooms were missing, staff didn't believe us. Scrambled egg didn't look like egg, more like plastic or shiny butter. I can eat almost anything, but it was pretty much incredible. We were missing the mushrooms we'd ordered. Someone (we presume was the manager) came out, told us they aren't actually on the menu, but someone then realised they were and took them to us. He was sarcastic and patronising, made a not-funny joke to embarrass us when we said it was expensive for what we got. Another waitress was rude as well, told us we were wrong about what we'd ordered before looking

We visited here whilst on holiday in Dorset last weekend. It was a great find. Plenty of home cooked menu options and delicious deserts, all at a reasonable price. The ladies serving were so helpful and friendly, can see why it's a hit with the locals.

This place is an institution. Every Poole generation loves it. It's huge with seating for at least 150. Everything from a carvery, bakery counter, pies, pudding, sandwiches, and salad bar. Their cakes are incredible. Homemade and perfect. So much choice. You can get takeaway options if you want to take a cake or pastries home. Staff are warm, kind and friendly. They keep the place spotless. Cannot recommend highly enough. Legendary.
