Slipway Cafe - Poole

A group of 8 of us went to this restaurant for a meal on a quiet weekend. Unfortunately, they did not have any draft beer available and did not offer bottled beer either, although some bottles did appear behind the bar by the end of the meal. It took over 1 1/4 hours from when we ordered our starters to when our main courses were served. The food was just average. When we asked about the ice cream selection on the menu, we were simply told "the usual" with no effort to provide more information. Overall, we were not impressed with the experience and will not be returning to eat there again, despite the beautiful setting.

I went to this restaurant for lunch with two friends, despite never having been there before. The restaurant was not too crowded and the service was quick. However, the quality of the food was inconsistent. One of my friends ordered the avocado and poached eggs starter, which she enjoyed and thought was a good value. The other friend ordered the salmon main course, but found the portion to be small and the dish to be bland. I decided to go for the fish and chips, but was disappointed. The chips seemed to have been cooked beforehand and reheated, almost burnt and too greasy. The portion of fish was small as well, making it not worth the price.

Nice relaxed drink in a well stocked bar run by helpful staff. Great views from the bar and especially from the terrace. A real and happy, contrast to the sardine like restaurant below (Riggers).

Excellent venue, great view, good selection of drinks, fantastic staff. What's not to like about this place?

A great place to have a drink before dinner. sit outside and take in the views, very helpful staff and the bar area was very clean.
