The Bournemouth Carvery in Bournemouth

Only 24 reviews for this venue ??? That is dreadful. Had afternoon tea here with my Mother and 2 friends - and everything brought was for 3 people - yet there was 4 of us. All the cakes were exactly the same and I am not in the habit of having 2 pieces of the same thing. Complete hash up with the tea , everything was wrong and not a soul to complain to. Invisible staff. Bad decor. Cheap cafe food and impropperly delivered by the kitchen staff who obviously were having a bad day. Appalling shame for Bournem,outh as I remember when this hotel was the best in town, but now with new Hiltons and maga bucks being invested in oither new superior hotels in Bournemouth, the Carlton will remain some place that once was a good venue but has now slipped way down in quality, style, service, food and even the bedrooms are below par - well below par.

Nice cafè by the beach. Paninis, cakes, hot and cold drinks and ice creams. Can't beat the view.

Great food, best spot when hungry

Bad experience:Nothings worth going in for,not clean,someone asks for cheese and the bloke asked would you like the cheese warmed under the heat lamp or microwaved (because it was frozen,who freezes cheese?!) My chips and chicken nuggets went in the bin, not fit to eat. 0/5

We visited Toby for a carvery. We were so impressed that I had to leave a review . Our waitress Gilly was superb. She was so bubbly, helpful, polite and very efficient with great advice, over and above her job. The chef at the carvery Mitch, was also very helpful and smiley . The meat was moist and tasty and the veg was hot and tasty, although the sprouts were a little underdone. My mother in law, a very good cook herself, said the apple pie was the best she had eaten. We will definitely be going back and gave no hesitation in recommending this restaurant.
