We had an absolutely fantastic Sunday dinner with great service and atmosphere. This was our first time dining here, but it definitely won't be our last. Highly recommend!
The Sunday roasts at The Schooner are amazing, the house-cooked puddings are delicious, and the prices are very reasonable. Even if you don't usually eat your greens, you'll love the taste here. It's perfect for a midweek lunch, a breakfast cooked in-house, a special board, or just a sandwich. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.
This restaurant is a hidden gem in Bournemouth. We discovered it by chance because it is not easily found unless you know where to look. We have been regular customers for 7 years now and have recommended it to all our friends. The house cooked breakfast, dinner, and desserts are all of high quality and offered at reasonable prices. If you want a delicious traditional meal, this is the perfect spot. On Valentine's Day, we enjoyed a gourmet meal that rivals top star restaurants. It is clear that the chef has a background in creating exceptional dishes.

Stumbled across this little place. I was five minutes past the last orders time for lunch but they kindly did me one anyway. I had fish pie was lovely and clearly home made. Served piping hot with a good variety of fresh veg. I had a butterfly cake for afters again homemade and divine. The menu is extensive plus they have daily specials. They are open for breakfast and lunch, plus Thur/Fri/Sat evenings. This place was a good find and I will deffo be back next time I am in the area.
My husband and I had breakfast the food was amazing sourced locally cooked fresh, coffee was great staff lovely, husband had a piece of fruit cake to take a way for later. Will definitely go back would like to try a roast next time thank you.
We popped into The Schooner for lunch after a very long tiring walk. The owner welcomed us and nothing was too much trouble for her. Being unable to speak I was given the time to write down my lunch request, which were met perfectly. We had a very good lunch which set us up for the return walk. The owner was very friendly and nothing was too much trouble for her. An excellent experience.
Had a Flat White coffee, wife had a Latte, must say it was better than Costa's , and the food and service is 10/10, if your down Southbourne beach, you must stop there for you food. Very impressed.
A beautiful place! we had some refreshments here last Sunday and were so impressed by the service and quality of the food we saw. the prices were excellent, much cheaper than most nearby places. the owner was beautiful, so helpful and friendly, would recommend this place thoroughly.
