Thirteen

222, Ashley Road Parkstone, Poole

Had our third visit to this amazing restaurant and experienced for the first time the full 13 course tasting menu from the chef's table. Every course was varied and exceptionally flavourful, the standouts being the egg and mushroom, the very moreish cheese churro's with cheese and truffle dip, the goat and lime samosa and the fig parfait, but in truth it was all exceptional. Hem, Elisabeth, Alex and the entire team (Frances was on holiday for this latest visit) always make you feel exceptionally welcome and the atmosphere was as always very homely, friendly and relaxed. Watching the chefs and the entire team at work from the chefs table made an amazing evening a great way to celebrate our wedding anniversary.The restaurant team very kindly acknowledged our celebration with a lovely card which was signed by all of them.

The 13 course tasting menu is expensive and an indulgence, but for a fine dining experience is not to be missed. My wife and I try to have a couple of high quality meals each year and over time have visited some of the countries finest restaurants many of which have stars and Thirteen is up there with the best of them both from the standard of the food and the level of service. Having this in Upper Parkstone, where we live, is the icing on an exquisitely baked, presented and very flavourful cake.

In my opinion the best seafood I’ve tasted in the area. Quality cooking fresh in a grungy historic atmospheric setting. Genuine freshly made puddings well presented and friendly helpful service. No chips but that’s to their credit when you taste the fabulous food.

Booked Christmas Eve lunchtime. Expected it to be busy, and it was, but the food and service was the usual 5 star plus standard. We never go wrong at this restaurant. Every course was just yummy, I had the steak, would highly recommend, the starters and desserts were gorgeous. The service was professional, prompt and friendly. Looking forward to visiting again in the New Year. The Guildhall can rightly claim to be the best restaurant in Poole

I was looking for a 1 night stay in Poole, and this came up as the cheapest in the area.

Prior to arrival, I received an email with a link to fill in my details, to speed up the check-in.

Upon arrival, found plenty of spaces in the car park, and free parking is a bonus.

Staff were very friendly and helpful at check-in.

The room was clean and had everything I needed. It was also quiet, which meant I had a good night's sleep.

I was emailed a link as well to check out, so was very easy.....selected a check out time on the link, and left the keys in a box on the way out.

Location is very good. Bus stop outside goes into Poole centre one way, or Bournemouth the other.

Would definitely stay here again.

What a really lovey evening, fantastic food, great attentive service and a great atmosphere. Dishes we had were Monkfish with vegetables which was really lovely & so well cooked, Wild Boar Ravioli, really lovely & so tasty and a Tagliatelle Carbonara which was gorgeous. Starters were beautiful, Baked goats cheese & Whitebait all very nice. The traditional dip of olive oil & balsamic vinegar with warm ciabatta was a really lovely start to a fantastic meal. Everything freshly cooked, we could see Marcello working hard in the kitchen, & served really hot. Great restaurant would highly recommend.

Rockfish Poole Seafood Restaurant

9 The Quay, Poole

Everything was amazing at the restaurant, including accommodation of our request for gluten free everything as one of our party is coeliac. We had the calamari, sardines for starters, mussels and bream for mains and sticky toffee pudding and creme brulee for dessert - all seafood was super fresh and really high standard of cookery (calamari was not greasy at all and had a v crispy GF batter; mussels really fresh and delicious cooked in white wine garlic) we absolutely loved every dish. So good to be able to have GF sticky toffee pudding that tastes exactly the same as normal! And most crucially that we can dine here without worrying about the food not being properly GF/cross contamination issues as the restaurant is accredited by Coeliac UK; we also would like to credit the fantastic service of the kind staff who immediately put us at ease despite our questions / concerns about coeliac friendly food. Would 100% recommend - the team at Rockfish will take good care of you!

Popped in for a Sunday roast here and my goodness it did not disappoint! My friend and I tend to travel around Dorset on a Sunday for a tasty roast dinner but we would be hard-pushed to beat the Rope and Anchors' offering.
Lovely beers and wines, staff are welcoming and attentive and the owners are lovely, down-to-earth people.
Back to the roast - meats cooked superbly, golden crunchy fluffy roast potatoes, delicious roasted carrots, maple glazed roasted beetroot was new for me but stunning, and beautifully cooked fresh kale.
Went for ALL the added extras; pigs in blankets, honey glazed parsnips and cauliflower cheese, which were all equally amazing, (I could eat a vat of that cheese sauce!)
The crowning glory is the gravy, which I was informed is made the proper way, from proper meat stock.
Stunning food cooked by chef Tom - will certainly be back for another roast, as well as to try other dishes!

What an extraordinary venue, steeped with history, wall pictures, original period features including a warm fireplace upstairs.
As a writer, I was fascinated by the rich history of the King Charles III and took time to speak with the proprietors about this.
The home cooked food was so delicious and a wide selection of draught ale and ciders were particularly tasty..
