Read moreLunch. Located along East Cliff Beach between Bournemouth and Boscombe Piers. Whilst taking a walk along the beach with our doggies, we saw what looked like a bar in the distance. So decided to walk a little further to take a look.
What a pleasant surprise on arrival. We thought we had just arrived in Ibiza. It was a glorious sunny day and decided to find a seat and have a drink. Moretti £6.50 & Old Mout £6.50. It's a beachside popup and kitchen run by a family who have @elmurrino in town 154 Old Christchurch Rd, Bournemouth BH1 1NL.
There was a food menu on the other side drinks menu. Choices are Pizzas,burgers,salads and light bites. We could no longer resist.So on the third time of the young man asking if we want to order anything? We gave in and ordered a salad & a burger with fries. Salad - AVOCADO E SALMONE £14. Avocado, smoked salmon on a bed of rocket with a homemade pesto dressing and rocket garnish.
Burger - HOT& SPICY £14 Double 3oz smashed patties with jalapenos, melted cheese and spicy chill mayo. The food was actually better than anticipated. Wish we had ordered the pizza, as they did look really good on seeing them being served to other tables.
It's a beautiful setting, especially in the sunshine. There's even a Dj doing his thing. You can choose to sit on the comfy seats under the shade of the brollys. Or in the sunshine on benches with sand under your feet. If you really want to feel like you're part of the Ibiza insta glitterarti there's the VIP seating for £75. This includes: 2 Margherita pizzas and any 4 drinks or a bottle of wine or prosecco.
Who needs Ibiza when you can visit this amazing space right on the beach without the price tag. A bonus for us,it's very dog friendly. We'll definately be back, when the sun decides to...
Read moreWe booked a table at this seaside restaurant to celebrate a date night. We were shown our seats with minimal wait time. Once seated, we waited for nearly 30mins for our order to be taken. We ordered a veg side (chips) and the main course with two drinks. The side and one main arrived first. The second main arrived only when I was nearly done eating (,this was a pizza-Pollo). Food, ok ok and no idea why the hype. I ordered a Panini and received that with a sample side of tortilla chips that were smashed. When I had a bite of the chips, I tasted fish and I am allergic to seafood. The dish allergy option only highlighted gluten and soya but did not mention fish. I then waited nearly 20mins for a waiter to see me wave my hand, but nope, no one bothered we existed. I had to get up from my seat to find the waitress that took our order and was stunned to learn that the chips are fried in the same oil as battered fish and this isn't mentioned in the menu. The waitress said the guests are required to mention any dietary concerns and that they don't ask the guest - always thought it was the other way around, based on experience at other restaurants, anyway. The waitress did ask me if I was ok and stuff but as someone with seafood allergy, this is not ok. So if any one is dining at that restaurant and is a vegetarian, please ensure you mention that loud and clear to your waiter/waitress because they aren't going to ask you. To sum it up, disappointed and a spoilt date night on our first night at Bournemouth. Something my husband and I decided while leaving this restaurant, we ain't ever coming back. There's plenty other places that serve you well and take care of it's guests. I went here due to the reviews but guess not all reviews and ratings show a...
