Arbor

1. I love it here, it makes me feel so happy every time i come! We always eat here when in Bournemouth. I was in Bournemouth for the weekend and ate there twice. Friday night special chateaubriand and then Sunday roast. Sunday roast is a bargain at £26 per head for 3 courses. Excellent quality. I wish we lived closer. This is the only restaurant I recommend to people I know because I am confident the food will always hit the mark. Photos from the last 3 meals we have eaten here. I cannot recommend this place enough I have gotten all my work colleagues to go here for special events, I should get commission! I love it here and almost don’t want to review it because I worry at some point it will get so popular I won’t be able to book a table!

2. We can’t fault anything except the “discretionary service charge” which is 12.50% and should be illegal, ours came to £50(basically ‘service charge’)and that’s the only reason I am giving 3*
   We visited after our wedding ceremony and we’ve had a really good time. Excellent food, excellent service. But one thing is unacceptable, it should be up the customers to decide how much to pay for service charge and would be happy to pay 10% but not hidden with microscopic letters written on the bottom of your bill and because you’ve had a good time, a few drinks etc and just pay but than you realise later what have happened.

3. Had a beautiful afternoon tea at The Arbor this afternoon. Well worth the price. Even gave us a box to take the goodies we couldn’t manage to eat.

4. Absolutely loved the vibe and food at this place. After a few disappointing meals around Bournemouth, we came across this place. The chef here does truly experiment with flavours and textures. Would highly recommend them to anyone willing to see what elevated British cuisine can look like.

5. Lovely afternoon tea in the Arbor – beautiful decor. Really good food with interesting alternatives to finger sandwiches (sausage roll, smoked salmon and cheese I think); superb scones and the jam and cream was plentiful. The only thing I would change, and this is often the case with afternoon tea, is I’d like more savoury and less sweet. Scones and cakes is a little too much! Great attentive staff and unrushed sitting.
