Visited last week and it was by far the best food we have eaten in Bournemouth in a long time! We had the mussels and they were divine! The desserts even tastier. The wonderful waiter was so welcoming and fantastic with my two small children. I couldn’t rave about it more. The place is filled with beautiful art (including the floor!) the chef is making outstanding food and the waiting staff make you feel completely at home. What more could you want? Just to eat there every night to be honest.

Magnificent local bar, compact and colourful. Great new dining addition attached with a lovely private room at the back. Possibly the best beer garden in the world (Google it!) and almost always has live music.

A wide range of cuisine is available from Club Sandwich through to oysters or fish and chips as well as lunch and evening specialities, while the drinks menu was relatively small but very deftly chosen with no shocks about mickey-taking prices! The food menu is generally mid-range priced, but some menu items were also in the more expensive category.

Had the most wonderful evening at Modern Times. Serving locally sourced home cooked food it’s five-star service in an authentic pub setting. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.
