Had a gorgeous roast here with my partner early Sunday lunch time. The staff, service, food and atmosphere were lovely and good quality, couldn’t fault it at all. We are looking forward to visiting again for sure. Thank you for providing such lovely food with great service!

Great environment, very well decorated. It has a very modern feel and the staff were accommodating and friendly. We went in between Christmas and New Year, where they were offering a special light lunch menu. The food was great quality and reasonably priced. I would definitely go again!

We went in for a Sunday roast at short notice and received a fantastic roast and friendly service! Super soft chicken, perfectly cooked veg and fresh yorkshire. One of the best roasts Ive had actually. Well done to the team and we will no doubt be returning soon.

A very cold night so we were delighted with the mulled wine offered. The food was pretty average and on the expensive side. The main downside for us was the volume of the singer on the night we went. Hard to hold a conversation even though we were at the table farthest from the singer. Don't get me wrong - he was brilliant but just too loud. We noticed people leaving and wondered whether they - like us - simply had to get out to save our ears!

Have eaten here many times, Sunday lunch, dinner, brunch etc food and service excellent but they are NOT dog friendly. On a cold, windy September day I could only manage a coffee (we really wanted lunch and drinks) if we sat outside as we had our dog (who is extremely well behaved) with us. Please rethink this policy. We are local and now we have our dog often walk into Christchurch and would like lunch and drinks. A large majority of people come into town with their dog and you are selling yourself short. Please rethink ???

Had a really lovely evening tonight. I ordered the Sri Lankan fish curry which was absolutely delicious! My partner ordered the fish linguine, both meals delicious! The service was excellent. While we were there a small party for a 50th birthday celebration we’re in and they played some music as they brought out the cake and the whole restaurant sang happy birthday.My only little gripe would be that the background music was a little too loud and the dessert menu was in my opinion overpriced ( we didn’t get one) otherwise a very enjoyable experience. Would definitely recommend the curry!

Visited Christchurch and booked a table for four, bit disappointed the Web site shows view's of the river and surrounding area slightly gave the impression that's what you might see, no just the roundabout at the bottom of the high St bit of a dismal restaurant unfortunately, the food was very nice but not outstanding for the price, the service on the other hand was excellent, I would recommend this restaurant unless you want something a bit more special.

Second visit on a Thursday evening for a ladies get together. We were the only people in the restaurant. The food was cooked well but didn’t appreciate the 10% service charge automatically added to the billVegetarian options: Very limited vegetarian optionParking: Use public car park approx 5 mins away, however if local theatre has a production can be hard to find a space

Booked online the night before visiting Christchurch for the first time. Very glad we discovered this little gem. Location was easy to find and plenty of parking nearby - the surrounding area was vibrant on a Saturday night and plenty of options for after meal drinks. Menu had options to suit both of us - one a fish lover and the other definitely not. Enjoyed a lovely Seabass with local Dorset clams plus an amazing fillet steak - both meals were really well presented and tasted delicious Only had room to share a dessert which was a light lemon cake with ice cream/cream, lemon curd, strawberries and almonds - beautiful and tasty. Staff were friendly and gave the right level of attention, not too overbearing but never had to wait too long to be able to order a drink. A 10% service charge was included, even on a meal for 2 which was unusual but well worth it. Would definitely visit again if in the area.

This resturant offers a good choice of family meals and for warm evenings has an outside seating area. There was a wide choice of staters although it was a main and desert that tempted me. I chose the new season ‘Romsey Lamb Cutlets’. Three cutlets seasoned well and served on a bed of Mediterranean style cracked bulgur wheat, Tahini & Yoghurt dressing, pickled pink onions and toasted almonds. This meal not only was presented well but was cooked to perfection. I washed it down with house Prosecco (available by the glass) and chose Vanilla Bean Ice Cream as a desert. The bill for my single cover was £36 which I felt represented very good value. There are no reservations in recommending Lock & Quay and I shall definitely return.

We first went to this restaurant about five years ago, and haven’t been back since. However we looked up restaurants that did steaks and this scored highly. To be honest the food was very good and the steak my wife said one of the best she had. It just seems an odd place. It’s in a great location but seems like a weird maybe it’s the music ( sounded like Romanian trance music?) or the mid seventies disco decor.The staff not particularly friendly either, it has the general feeling of nobody’s that interested except for the chefs, It’s a real shame??♂️ Maybe better going with a crowd of people so creating your own atmosphere

I have been to Loch & Quay twice since I moved here from London 3 months ago and each time the delightful waitress, yes only one, is attentive, charming and lovey. She is an asset to the establishment. The food is delicious and beautifully presented. I am so pleased I found this gem in Christchurch.
