Boatyard Cafe - Poole

Having walked from Bournemouth we were ready for a bite to eat, a quick google bought up The Boatyard Cafe, we opted for this rather than the cafes on the main road as we thought it’d be quieter- we were right! It’s in a lovely spot and the place looks smart, I imagine it gets quite busy at peak times. We sat outside in the sun and shared a ‘veggie’ platter, the food was good except one of the breads had chorizo in. We didn’t complain as it didn't bother us enough, though for some this would be more problematic. We all enjoyed cake after and the drinks were good too. The staff were friendly and welcoming, we would visit again if we were in the area.

Absolutely awful service. Staff very rude and obviously have no common sense or manners. Waited for over 20 minutes to be served. When tried to order food and drinks we were told kitchen closed. Asked for drinks but none arrived. Was disgusted by the attitude of the ‘staff’. The manager needs to re train all staff members or maybe try to employ people who have a brain. I spoke to one family who had been waiting for over 30 minutes for their food which never arrived. THIS CAFE NEEDS SERIOUS ATTENTION AND DECENT STAFF.

Went with some friends for lunch, we all had a good time, service was quick and efficient. Wide choice on the menu, we sat outside as it was a sunny day. Busy place most tables were taken.

A little gem! Food was fresh, the service was great and set it a quiet and relaxing location. Seating is spacious with comfortable outdoor area. Choices on the menu are not extensive but what they have is done well. Highly recommended if your in the area.

There were 7 of us and they kindly served us toon our breakfast order at 11:15- breakfast stops at 11:30am, but they were very accommodating. Reasonably priced full English, or porridge with fruit, croissants and coffee/tea. Had almond/soya milk alternatives. Service was a little slow, but we were relaxed and weren’t in a rush. Overall, just what the Doctor ordered and clean. Food was good too.
