Loch & Quay
24 Church St, ChristchurchSuch a good location, minutes from the Priory & Quay. A friendly welcome and pleasant decor. The atmosphere was calm and relaxed. The delicious food was freshly cooked, very tasty and great size portions. We had Steak frites-not a thin steak but large, tasty and cooked as requested. Also Moules frites, cooked in a creamy white wine sauce. It’s my favourite dish and can honestly say it was the best I’ve ever tasted, the sauce was creamy and well seasoned. (So good I spoke to the chef to compliment him on his skills). We both had good sized portions and had Dorset Apple tarte tatin and strawberry pavlova for dessert.

MAW
43 High St, ChristchurchAbsolutely loved it here! Came with my toddler and family. The menu choices were amazing (usually I can only find 1 or 2 things but I could’ve chosen anything!) and the food was incredible too. I am most impressed with how they catered for my son - gave him colouring, a plastic cup for his drink and suitable crockery for his lunch too. It’s always tricky to eat out with a toddler but this was a dream!

NUSARA | Thai
8-10 Castle St, ChristchurchI would have given this a 5* review had our order not been messed up. My parents are pescaterian and requested a mushroom tom yum soup (instead of chicken and prawn) and I was assured by the lady who took my order that this could be done. When unpacking the take away I discovered that we had been given chicken tom yum soup which was disappointing. The rest of the food was delicious and everyone enjoyed their order. Arguably the best Penang curry I've had yet. The food was ready and waiting, hot and piping exactly when I was told it would be. The restaurant looks so lovely too would love to eat inside (we have a dog hence why we got takeaway).

The Paddle Cafe Bar Eatery
397 Lymington Rd, Highcliffe, ChristchurchWhat a gem, first time visiting this weekend with the family. Excellent food menu and well delivered - I had the steak and eggs which was 10 out 10. The coffee was one of the best I've had in ages, and we have good coffee shops where I live in Southampton. It has a young team of staff, who were on top form and provided excellent service, even though extremely busy. I will be back, I just wish they had a cafe nearer me. Oh, and cake taste as good as they look!

Sandpiper
The Sandpiper, 97 Bure Ln, ChristchurchMy Wife and I visited The Sandpiper today 14th Oct 2025) and we just had a Mains (watching our waistlines and pennies these days) and it was excellent. We both had the Mixed Grill from the Flamingo Grill and value for money was unbeatable. We asked that our appreciation be passed on to the Kitchen Crew. How on earth they can plate up Chicken, Steak, Gammon and Sausaae and an Eeg and Chips all at the same time and present it all beautifully cooked and hot is too good for words.. The Abbot was also perfect. The Atmosphere was fine - reserved - but being Locals we know it gets noisier when the football etc is on. It's just a matter of picking your time. Staff as always are lovely.

Similan Thai
251 Lymington Rd, Highcliffe, ChristchurchA Similan Thai is a gem of a restaurant on Highcliffe high street. This was our second visit.
My wife and I shared the mixed starter which we'd highly recommend - so many wonderful flavours! My wife followed it a vegetable and mushroom stir fry, while I chose by the Penang curry with tofu. The latter is not an option for the curries on the menu, but you just need to ask. It was very tasty and a generous portion, with plenty of tofu. We shared a jasmine rice and some plain noodles and the total food bill was under £50, so good value for authentic and tasty Thai food. We'll definitely be visiting again soon.
