I think if I was in the area and wanted food I'd walk up to Brasserie Blanc or into Bournemouth for food.

The pub sells Aspalls cider which is always a big plus for me. The chips have a lot of room for improvement - a more home made style would really improve the quality quickly and easily; I'm never a fan of oven style chips which never taste or look that great and unfortunately this is what the fox and hounds sells. If you're after an upmarket place to eat then this is probably not it but it serves good quality food at a reasonable price and the bar staff are helpful and friendly.

I selected three courses from the main menu whilst my partner choose three courses from the special menu that is a retrospective celebration of their 25th Anniversary. The selections available on both menus was varied with nice additional touches such as alcohol free mocktails for drivers. The food was fresh, of a high quality and well portioned, to the extent that you could enjoy the three courses without feeling stuffed to the gunnels. Preparation and presentation were above normal and it's clear that the kitchen team know what they are doing. The only course that was anything close to a bit of a let down was my dessert, which was basically a slice of loaf cake with a couple of slices of "caramelised" oranges - they treated for all the world like a couple of slices of regular quality oranges to me. Whilst not cheap the regular menu isn't overly expensive either. A fair price for good food. The 25th Anniversary menu was great value though at £25 for 3 courses and a glass of perfectly acceptable fizz. The only changes I would make would be to update the printed menus which would be more at home in a pub. Also I'd increase the space separating the tables to allow diners to feel a touch more secluded. The restaurant is decidedly informal, far from huge and a little on the snug side for a truly intimate meal - but it is definitely a small, good quality restaurant right at the heart of Weymouth's quayside and one that I hope to visit again. **TIPS** Book! Even on a Tuesday night at the beginning of May it was busy, obviously loved by the locals. Also, a bit of a strange practice, but they don't allow you to add a tip to your card payment, so have some cash on hand if you want to leave a thank you.

The quirky decor, though faux, is appealing if you like chandeliers, Victoriana (likely from China), and stuffed stag heads. Music is a quite loud speakeasy playlist. Lots of menu options, from tapas to burgers with a gastro pub range of mains. Nice cocktail list too, and they have a gluten free menu - though sadly, as everywhere else, the only gf pudding is sorbet. Service seems fine, and they serve meals all day from 9am to 10pm, and breakfast is served til 6pm! There are a lot of stairs, though there's a lift to the first floor to get you started. The main restaurant is only open Fri, Sat, Sun in winter, but you can eat in the first floor cafe/bar the rest of the time. There is a third floor dining area with terrace for summer, which we did not explore in January! The food is very serviceable if not exactly a gastronomic experience. We had excellent game stew, with lots of chunky pheasant, venison and rabbit. The promised root vegetables in the stew were a bit few and far between, but it came with champ (mash and spring onion), and was gluten free. Dessert was chocolate croissant bread and butter pud, with fine vanilla custard (for me) and (good quality) mango and blackcurrant sorbets for my GF partner. A rum based espresso martini to finish. So dinner with two courses, and drinks was fifty quid for two, which is pretty reasonable. So, definitely will be back, and we recommend it.

I went here last night for a family meal, after not having been for a little while - and it was as…read moregood as I remember. It's well-sited in Westbourne, and it has a public car park at the back which is free after 6pm, and is on the main bus route. The main problem with the restaurant however, is that it is too popular for the space - so make sure you book in advance. They turned several people away whilst I was there. The decor inside is slightly bizarre, with Salvador Dali-style murals on the walls, but this does not detract from the atmosphere. If anything, it prevents the place from being too posh and stuffy. Where Coffee Club excels is in its food. The menu, for a start, is a thing of wonder. It's impossible not to find anything you like, because it's so varied. Seafood, Chinese & Thai stir fries, pasta, pizza, burgers. Even fish & chips, jacket potatoes or omelettes at lunchtime. While it's easy to assume that it ends up in the category of "Jack of all trades, master of none", this is simply not the case. We all ordered different things and were impressed by how great it was. The starter was a Mediterranean-style mezze, with what must have been homemade hummus, greek yoghurt, olives, halloumi and pitta. For a main course, I had a Thai chicken pasta, which was rather a strange-sounding combination but worked brilliantly. Cooked to perfection, and with just the right amount of spice. I skipped straight to a cup of tea after that, but my boyfriend had a rather tasty looking fudge brownie. While the prices are a little more than you would pay for the average meal, the portions are absolutely huge, so you won't be going hungry. Dinner for 6 plus wine and drinks cost £135. Coffee club is open all day, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. It also, as you might expect from the name, does a good selection of coffees. Great for sitting outside on a summers day!
