Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Christchurch

We booked a table for a 90th birthday celebration. We had a lovely table at the front of the restaurant. We chose from the Cool Britannia menu which offered us all enough choices and the food was delicious, especially the onion soup and the steak. Service was good although we did have to wait a few minutes to get the server’s attention on one occasion; however it was quite busy for the number of staff on duty. We never felt rushed and overall we had a great time. It was the perfect place for a special occasion. We’ll definitely be back!

It's a beautiful setting and we were there on a hot sunny evening. The sunsets there are spectacular and we were looked after excellently by Will who was attentive and very pleasant. We were celebrating two wedding anniversaries and they kindly sent us a small selection of sweet treats at the end of the meal which was a lovely touch. One small issue was that they did not have a wine which was on their menu which is disappointing in a place of this calibre. It should have been marked as "not available" if they'd run out instead of Will having to go and trawl the cellar. Otherwise a very pleasant evening. Menu is limited which I don't mind and the food is well presented and of the quality and variety you'd expect in a decent pub. We will definitely return as we're local.

Great value for money afternoon tea yummy very fresh and delicous.

The drawing room closes at 7pm and our on line booking was for 7pm so we were re allocated to their No 43 restaurant which is open from 7pm to 9pm. The restaurant has a lovely view out to the sea with a larger menu than the drawing room Great service in pleasant surroundings. The food was of a good standard and came out pretty quickly.

Very good service and comfortable seats. Drinks were reasonably priced fantastic view from the balcony over looking Bournemouth . All round a excellent place and night out
