Excellent venue. Staff are really friendly and welcoming. One of the few places in Bournemouth that I feel safe. Great choice of live music. Downstairs where the live music is can be pretty loud so bring ear plugs/loops to protect your ears.

Had a beautiful roast very generous portion with very good quality of meat. Carl was fabulous and help us get a taxi! Can't wait to visit again.
