Feedback
Reviews praise Bingley's warm atmosphere, standout desserts and seafood, but note occasional inconsistency in mains, slow service and wine availability issues.
Very disappointed with the belly pork dish, tough and chewy. We thought it was going to be busy owing to the booking time allocation but only one other table was in use!!
Food was very tasty, service was a little slow at times but I think the staff were busy preparing. Unconfirmed, but I believe they opened early just for me and my girlfriend which made us feel very special. Cocktails were also very nice.
Lovely evening, beautiful building and most importantly amazing food. An intimate place with good choices on the menu. Friendly staff members we will come back thank you
We had a lovely cosy table. The food was delicious and looked lovely. The waitress was very attentive and we had everything that we needed
I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys quality food in intimate surroundings. The food is fresh really good quality. We both had fillet steaks they were some of the best steaks we have eaten. The menu has a great choice of dishes. The service was friendly, efficient and always attentive without being over bearing. This is a great little restaurant which should be a “go to place” when you are in Poole. I cannot recommend it highly enough. We will definitely be back!

FAQ
More information
The bistro's small dining room means the kitchen can occasionally open early or tweak service for special bookings — diners have reported the team making bespoke arrangements for celebrations. Also, look out for daily fish specialities: the chef often features locally sourced catches when available, so asking about 'today's catch' can score a particularly fresh plate.
