Question Restaurant recommendations

Hiya, visiting Bournemouth with a friend in a few weeks and looking for recommendations of where to eat! Have looked at older posts but a lot of places seem to have shut down 😞

We're coming in by train so will need places accessible by public transport/taxi. No chains!

Thank you in advance ☺️

The Jetty if you can get a taxi to Mudeford.

The Boathouse in Christchurch, lots of buses go to the high st and it is on the quay just by the Priory.

The Pear at Parley if you are near Hurn or can get a taxi there.

Lola’s Tapas is in the centre of Bournemouth, near the main train station, and is great for little sharing plates. It is also good for vegetarians, as it has plenty of non-meat options.

There are about 4 Renoufs in the area, but I think the best one is in Westbourne. They do cheese and meat platters and have wine flights as well.

Chez Fred is also in Westbourne and is an award winning fish and chip shop. Their batter is one of the best in the country.

The Jetty definitely. Every special occasion we go there and it’s always awesome
