The Westbourne in Bournemouth

Lovely pub and good selection of beer

Good food and friendly atmosphere

Nice pub but a bit far for me to travel to

the visit was pleasant and the service was very pleasant, I will say that I go to this pub very often and I really like the people who work there. as for my visit, it went very well and I really liked everything except for one thing, if I can call it that. I came with my fiancée and a friend for Christmas Eve dinner and we didn't like it a bit that all the dishes were served at once. if these dishes were served in two rounds everything would be 100%. However, next year I'm in this pub again for Christmas Eve dinner. best regards and see you soon.

Love coming here. Staff are brilliant and atmosphere is best in Poole / Bournemouth

Nice big pub, friendly service and plenty of seating. Good selection of drinks at reasonable prices.

Weird passive aggressive staff, literally laughing as I’m sat at a table doing nothing.

Wonderful evening with the British Heart Foundation at their annual Xmas party.

Came for a family meal. Was very loud so not the right place for a quiet meal. Food was ok for the price but slow service.

Popped in with a friend for a few drinks before dinner nearby. Great pub & Service. I will be back when visting the area.

Barmaid ignore me, football all the screens, cold

We really enjoyed our spur of the moment visit to the Westbourne. We only had a couple of drinks so can't mention the food. We did see some people enjoying their meals and loved the professionalism of the waitress who served them. They were polite, mindful and patient. The customers felt well looked after. I had a festive tipple, "Rocking Rudolph". As the brewers Greene King say "Dark and full bodied, packed full of hops.  Challenger & Target providing underlying herbal hop and the rare Bramling cross giving redcurrant and blackcurrant.  Horlicks malty character from the pale malt and toffee from the crystal malt give warmth and the blend of hops provide a crisp bitterness". I will definitely be having another when I return, maybe this time with some food.

Good selection of drink, live sports and good prices

I absolutely loved watching the football here, What a lovely atmosphere and wonderful bunch of people... I highly recommend visiting this pub for food and footy xx

Great place to view live sports highly recommended..I cannot comment on the food since I did not order. Beer variety is good.

The gents toilets smell soo bad. Makes your eyes water. Apart from that, great pub.

All good, but dogs belong outside, please.

Great place for eating and drinking staff were friendly and helpful

I had the Sunday roast beef today, it was one of the best roasts I've had in a long time. Generous portion, delicious and the service was great. The pub is so friendly and a good place to socialise. Would definitely go back

Friendly atmoshphere, family and dog friendly, great ambience,great service and a banging Sunday roast. What more could one ask?

Visited this pub for the first time yesterday after work. It was busy, as expected for a Friday night but I managed to find a table for one to have a bit of food & a drink. I ordered on the app with no problems and shortly after a lovely waitress called Shareena served me. She was bubbly, friendly & efficient, and seemed very good at her job. She really made my experience better because of her service, even despite the fact it was so busy. I have been to places before on my own and sometimes the service is a let down because they're focussed on the bigger tables more because they're bringing in more money than just a single table. I will be returning especially because of the service, oh, and the food was absolutely delightful too! I had the 'small plates' of cod goujons & the squid, both went down a treat! Batter on the goujons was crispy and light, the squid was cooked really well and was tossed in sweet chilli sauce which was a really nice touch rather than just having it as a dip on the side. Looking forward to my next visit!

Always great service and great food. Multiple screens to watch sports on.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Great value lunchtime meal deal. Dog friendly, with dog meals available. Our fur baby especially likes the doggy roast.

Haven't eaten there yet but the food smelled really nice, they do a really nice Guinness and serving Paulanar German beer was a bonus too

Great atmosphere on a Friday evening. Food prices are reasonable and selection of food is great 👍🏼

Long time no visit but pleasantly surprised

We went to the Westbourne on Saturday evening with a couple of friends, to celebrate my husband's birthday with a meal. We quickly found ourselves greeted by Shereena (I hope I have the spelling right) who introduced herself as the "Floor Fairy". She turned a good experience into an absolutely amazing one, probably the best birthday celebration my husband has ever had in his 69 years! I cannot thank this wonderful lady enough for her attention to detail, her efforts to make us feel welcome, and her sheer bubbly personality, which enlivened our entire visit. Thank you dear Floor Fairy, we shall be back.

Came for Sunday lunch. Staff and food fantastic. Lovely atmosphere and very friendly.

Wow so many screens didn't know which table to select. Food was great, lots of beers to choose from and service good to, will be back for start of a new season next year. Can't believe it's take 10 years to find the best sports bar in BCP.

Visited recently for the Celtic game, was amazing to see a pub be exactly what it says on the tin. A great community coming together to see a game, service was impeccable. Even though it was exceptionally busy! Hats off to the management and team. Will absolutely be my place to go for sport!

Breakfast was really big and came out hot and well presented, good choice of eggs, the poached were really well ❤️‍🩹 cooked

A fairly standard pub. Popped in to watch the football. Gents toilet was diabolical though. One toilet was out of order and the other had no lock and a broken toilet seat. Place seemed to be in need of some TLC.

They showed the Coventry City match when we asked them to. The staff were nice and the food was lovely!

Everything was top notch! The customer service, the food and drink. Best place for a breakfast in Westbourne, avoid the terrace cafe that's for sure! I'd highly recommend the Westbourne pub.

As fellow Greene King employee i really appreciated the service here. Shareena (sorry if butchered your name) took care of our every need. :)

Had lvly sun roast friendly staff highly recomended

Regular visitor to Bournemouth / Westbourne. Booked The Westbourne online 2 adults 2 kids for dinner then to watch our football team (this was specified on booking in special requests section). Turned up temporary menu due to works in the kitchen, nothing highlighted to us before, also kitchen closes at 19:00 instead of 21:00 as advertised. Again nothing mentioned on booking. Kids meals bought out wrong, after eating they then took almost an hour to clear our table, the wine we requested they didn’t have, then requested 3 times for the football to be put on. Eventually this happened, was then told at 20:55 that it’s Company policy under 18s have to leave the premises by 21:00, this was at the end of half time of the football, which left us nowhere to watch the second half! The staff were not bothered by anything they couldn’t provide and totally disengaged with any concerns. They were not rude, but really seemed they couldn’t give a monkeys about providing any sort of service, it was a dead Monday evening and there were more staff than customers! My kids and partner all promised ourselves then and there - never again. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE. We would advise anyone, to go elsewhere. Awful experience.

As I’ve come to expect everything was perfect! I popped in for a free drink that I received via an email from the sports app, however the sun trap on the patio forced me stay and partake in a few more.. on a nice day this has to be the best place in town for catching some rays. Cheers all

The blonde boy with the mullet needs sacking rude and tried to id for a coke absolutely useless staff get better staff this guy is awful

Watched England lose here. Lovely place though, I don't blame the Westbourne at all. Good food, good pints, good darts. Good times

Place needs A refit not A place I will go back too .

We visited this pub on our way home from Sandbanks and we were delighted with the service Sam gave us as he listened attentively and helped put through our vegan, vegetarian and gluten free order with added notes to the kitchen team not to contaminate. Many thanks to Sam! The food was well presented and tasted very good. The drinks on offer are varied and the atmosphere is of a typical pub. We enjoyed our visit and recommend to all, including people with dietary requirements.

Disgraceful and awful customer service. I been to this pup last week with my partner. We went to towards the counter and been served by this young lady with glasses. She was very unfriendly and rather angry and unhappy. Before we ordere anything I asked her "How are you?". She was trying to avoid us and not answering and she looked down pretending doing something. First impression from a place where you visit for the very first time shouldn't be like this. We did not feel comfortable as we didn't feel welcomed. For this reason I won't recommend and won't go again to this pup. However, the pup has nice sitting inside and outside, with great location. I hope the management will have a look at this customer service matter and train staff how to treat customers particularly new customers

Excellent site, good atmosphere, good location, easy access, very good service

Great small pub, good food selection and beers.

Service was good and the food was good value

We came in as a group of 10 people. We ordered over £150 worth of food and drinks. My boyfriend bought 3 rounds of beers and no one had a problem with it. But 10 mins later a staff came and asked to see everyone's IDs. Then he rejected my boyfriend's BRP even though we went 5 years without anyone doing such. He insisted that anyone without a valid ID (to which they get to decide the validity) had to get out by 9pm and it was 8:30pm?? Sure you can say you only accept 4 forms of ID but a) why not hand that sign at the entrance so everyone knows and we wouldn't bother going in at first; and b) why not ask to see my boyfriend's ID when he bought 3 rounds of beers? We had to negotiate just to get my boyfriend to stay and the whole time he was making such a face. Also when i went to ask for some tissues the guy gave me one tissue and made a face when i emphasized "some". Generally a really bad experience. Hopefully had nothing to do with the fact that we're Asian. We seriously contributed to half of their revenue that night. Thanks.

Had a fantastic time here! We were served our cold drinks quickly and with a smile by the lovely Jo, whilst Ady cooked us up a delicious roast. Everyone was so friendly and even our beloved pooch was warmly welcomed. We sat outside in the sun and the place was kept beautifully, flowers were gorgeous. Thank you guys, we really can’t wait to go back! See you all soon

Good hotel, good location for airport, no complaints

Absolutely brilliant and the first 'proper' pub I've found in the area. Plenty of TV's for the football, good quality beers and a fantastic management duo, with great friendly regulars! I'll certainly be visiting again!

Good pub television lots around nice pub

Food was excellent, staff were attentive and friendly even on a busy england matchday

All good toilets could do with cleaning more regular.

With friends outside on a sunny summer evening. Hardly noticed the traffic.

A decent pub with friendly staff, a good selection of beers. I can't comment on the food as I have not eaten here

A great atmosphere with 5he football on a great place good food and great service

My local pub for 47years ,great place ,great staff ,Jo and Adie who manage the pub are very friendly and will do anything for you.Great food and drink at good prices,what's not to like.

great staff and gd value lunch x

We were looking for a dog friendly lunch venue and The Westbourne was perfect. All the staff were extremely helpful and welcoming. Excellent service and great food - very reasonably priced too.

Great pub , lots of staff , quickly served at bar , watched football, several big screens

Saw the pub meal deal advertised give it a go not to busy helpful staff nice doggy sausage food ok.. one very VILE gents toilet worst smell since school days 😡 brought this to the attention of team leader on duty

Very cozy and nice pub with very good food and friendly staff 👍

Always come here to watch the football, yesterday the weather was glorious and to my surprise the football was on a tv outside! Sun and football made for the best Saturday I’ve had in ages. Thanks all

amazing staff, class atmosphere will definitely come again

Server was a lovely woman with great heart. Great personality.

This is a great pub for watching the footy or darts! Busy pub with friendly bar staff and punters! Love a pint of Level Head in here. They do food but not tried it yet. Comfy seats and loads of room.

No Garden. Quite expensive. You can get something better in Bournemouth. Would make sense if it was cheaper.

Great atmosphere, the staff are very helpful and friendly. They also host great bands, I will be coming back

This review has been written after few visits: as usual it is based on food quality, staff attitude, atmosphere and local-standard value for money. This pub offers different beers type: anyone can find his/her own favourite. Food is good and well presented when served - Burgers: good quality and not overcooked. Service is very friendly and good too (they serve food to the tables). Over the last twenty years I have been travelling for business (and not) reason and I have discovered a lot about the world of catering.

Exceptionally good ! This is a young’s pub … ! So I was quite shocked at the quality and care the food was made in … I even told the waitress I was schooled ! What a lovely pub with fab staff ! Out shines any other young’s pub I’ve been to so now I may try others . Really good menu… the squid strips were probably the best ever ! Korean chicken fab as was all the food Thanks guys

We stopped by for lunch but despite the helpful and friendly waitress, we weren't impressed with the food. I ordered a burger with fries but when it arrived my fries were soggy and not very hot. I complained and they were reheated which made them crisper. Unfortunately the burger was very disappointing, containing a large amount of chewy gristly bits. I didn't complain again as I didn't want a further delay in my lunch. I have always had a good opinion of Green King food but not so sure after this experience. The company needs to be careful about quality.

Nice place . Popped in for a burger

Authentic pub with great drinks. Highly recommended!

I love that pub especially when weather is nice to sit outside. Enormous fish&chip portion, delicious though. Beautiful building on very strategic spot😉

I moved to Westbourne a year ago and have made many acquaintances. It's a really friendly pub with a lively atmosphere. The food typical of this type of pub is well prepared and acceptable. Overall a great experience

The Steak was mediocre at best for the £14.45 price, served with almost unpalatable cherry tomatoes. The Chicken Katsu burger was chewy in places but was otherwise lovely. Chips were really nice. It's great that the Student Beans discount works on drinks, but it would be great to know it could only be applied once a day. Service was nice

Easily the best full English breakfast in Westbourne! Everything cooked fresh and quick service. And a big old plate full of food for only just over a fiver! Hard to believe, but it’s true, just over a fiver for a quality full English! We’ll be back in a heartbeat.

Popped in for breakfast, great customer service, the lady that served us was called Jo, the breakfast was amazing and so cheap, I don’t know why anyone would go anywhere else for breakfast! Completely freshly cooked full English under £6 is astounding! Highly recommend!

It was very very Pleasant ,staff were lovely!

We go there regularly after a business meeting. There is always a friendly welcome the food is good and so is the service .Sam in particular goes out of his way to make sure we have everything we need. I never know exactly how many people i will bring until the night and we are always catered for. Highly recommended

Great pub to watch the sports in, very friendly and helpful staff.

Really recommend the Westbourne, good atmosphere and great service by Beth and Tom! They were so welcoming and attentive!

Great pub, bar staff were all very friendly and although being very busy they were still on the ball! Will definitely be visiting again - maybe for food next time as it all looked very good and they had a great selection! Would highly recommend to anyone in the area looking for food/drinks!

Best roast dinner we’ve had so far, potato’s crispy beef was tender and thick, gravy was incredible and the 2 men behind the bar was so nice and welcoming, will deffo be returning :)

Staff were lovely. Huge group of lads on stag do causing annoyance to other customers.. maybe have a quiet word?

Beth my server was absolutely amazing mad my night a credit to the team thank you x

Went in for a nice pint and some warm perfect place and atmosphere

Went in for a Sunday roast. Blonde lady with pony tail ( think her name was Sharina) was very helpful efficient and couldn’t do enough to make sure we enjoyed our meal.

What a pub! Punches WAY above its pricing. Excellent food. Service was cheerful and super efficient. Great selection of food and beer. Will return.

Sherina was a great waitress, really nice lady excellent service, life of the party! Food was great too !

Great pub & friendly staff! The selection on tap is brilliant and the Guinness is next level 👍 almost like being in Dublin

The price is affordable and the food is delicious...

The food and drinks are fab. The bartender Leigh was great as well, pulling pints with a smile. 10/10 service from everyone

Had lunch with my dad and stepmom and dog Bruno. Always enjoy the food in here. Landlady is very welcoming, a good old fashioned pub.

Still a great pub, had a lovely Christmas day yet again, and new year with the Wiseguys.

Best place in town to watch football, atmosphere is always electric. As a bonus my Peroni was only £4 a pint after 7pm. Cheers to all the staff great job as always!

Just back from The Westbourne after a simply yummy Sunday lunch. Food was great, the beef and the nut roast. Lovely selection of great value wines too. A lovely, friendly, welcoming pub

Sad shadow of a pub I suspect was once beautiful with buzzing crowds and superb ales and food. Now it's the worst pub for parking, service, food and drink I have EVER been to. Avoid this dreadful place, I could say so much about this pub, but it's more straightforward to just say this. DO NOT GO THERE

My friend wasn't too impressed with this meal which cost more than £12

If you are visiting Westbourne you must visit the Westbourne for a meal. Great menus,excellent and tasty food and first class customer service. Cant think of a better place to go for great pub food.
