Reef Encounter - Bournemouth

In Star Wars, Han Solo shoots Greedo probably over a bad meal in a terrible bar restaurant.

The transformation of Boscombe with the construction of the surf reef has led to this cafe bar setting up (rising from the ashes of the lamented PierPoint.)

One of our favourite places in the world! We have been half a dozen times in the past year and never been disappointed.

Fish and chips are delicious. Super fresh fish. Staff attentive. Good vibe and interior. Shame the cocktails menu was not available this afternoon. Otherwise great lunch.

I have booked a table for me as recommended, and paul, the assistent manager, could not have been more helpful. all staff were friendly and attentive and eating was amazing. I had salt and pepper scatter to begin and can honestly say it was one of the best I ever had. it was so good that I came back this afternoon on the way back from bournemouth to have more! and it was still so good. last night for the main course I had the fish (shock) and chips with muddy heaps. also excellent. After dinner I sat alone outside and was invited to join another table of people who was beautiful. I loved everything about this place. if they are not sure whether they go or not, they do it!
