Fantastic food and fantastic service. We ate here on a Tuesday night, it wasn't particularly busy but the guys waited for us to finish our food and didn't rush us at all! We were the last ones standing still drinking our wine. We were even offered coffee and dessert and told to take our time. Felt very welcomed and comfortable. The chicken and ribs combo was excellent!To top it off, one of the guys came over and offered me a free beer as he poured it by mistake. What a lovely touch! Will be back again and again!

Came here for lunch with family, had a very good kids menu, and the food was very tasty. Had the cheeseburger which was very nice.

My wife and I went to James and White in Christchurch last night for my wife's birthday. On Wednesdays they do a £45 steak night for two which also includes a salad starter and a bottle of wine. We had sirloin steaks cooked medium with French fries and pepper sauce. The food was delicious and I highly recommend this restaurant.

We used to go 2 or 3 times a month to Reef Encounter (J&W sister in Boscombe) for Wednesday steak night, but it really went down hill after first Ash then Christian left. We gave the Reef a second, third and fourth chance but it was always chaotic - both food and service even before the lockdowns. We gave up. Miraculously I’m still on J&W mailing list so we gave the Christchurch restaurant a go tonight. Just perfect. All is forgiven.

Very nice small restaurant on the high street! Very friendly staff and a great menu to pick from. I went with the “fish bucket” which was a great choice, full of great sea food. The steak was also great with a brilliant sauce! They also had tiny rebel on tap which was a great beer!

Food was great - highly recommend the salmon. We hadn’t booked, but there were still a couple of tables available outside for dinner. Service could’ve been better, but appreciate we turned up last minute and were sat outside! Lovely wine too. Definitely recommend.

On holiday and walked in on the off chance. Service was quick and staff were friendly. There is a good selection on the menu and our food was amazing. Seasoned well and cooked to perfection. There is also a good selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.
We ate on the relaxed terrace outside on a hot August day, and very much enjoyed the BBQ ribs and chicken, full of flavour and nicely presented. May e a little pricey, but reasonable for the quality.

Popped in on the off chance and was so pleased with the wide selection, excellent testing food that was served really quickly. A wide choice for all whether vegan, vegetarian etc. The staff were excellent and really attentive. Will definitely be returning when next in Christchurch.

Having arrived in Christchurch on a Monday we found that most places were closed. We stumbled across James and White and had a delicious meal. Good value for money. We will be back. Keep up the good work...

We visited on 9th July after reading the reviews and it’s dog friendly. The cocktail made by Angelina was very nice and the food was exceptional. Angelina was a brilliant host and looked after us and our dog through the whole Restuarant experience. What more can I say except brilliant.
