We stayed at the Spyglass & Kettle in Southbourne this weekend with our two young children while visiting family nearby, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff in both the hotel and the restaurant were absolutely incredible - so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely lovely :) The location is perfect, right by the coast, and waking up to the sound of the ocean and birdsong was such a peaceful and memorable start to each day. The food was good, and the service was consistently fantastic! All in all, it was a relaxed, warm and thoroughly enjoyable stay. We'd wholeheartedly recommend the Spyglass & Kettle for a short stay.

This is the second visit of I’ve made and unfortunately will be the last. We ordered two roasts and I have to say, save your money as it was dissappointing. £15 per meal for frozen vegetables and frozen roasties ( the Whole 3 of them ) is quite frankly a rip off. It’s nice to try places around the area and for a few quid more you will certainly get much better quality. We also ordered mojito jug which we had to send back as they served it with ginger beer however the replacement was actually refreshing and the children’s menu is actually good value for money. The young girl who served us was pleasant and did her job well. Had a similar issue at the the commodore which is also ran by greene king.

Ordered a non alcoholic spritzer cocktail as was designated driver Young bar staff girl didn’t know what glass to use , how to make the drink , dropped the ice scoop on the dirty bar floor and returned it to the ice bucket (it was after she had iced my drink but yucky !) The drink was undrinkable not made correctly she tried to make it taste better by adding so soda .. awful The bar manager said swop it for another drink but after waiting watching her walking up and down looking unsuccessfully for the right things to make it and the thought of the dirty ice scooper being used .. I said don’t worry I will leave it now and didn’t get a refund Was going to order food with my friends but we all decided to go into Christchurch and have a better time She is not a new member of staff and would benefit from some extra training Jo would have been on it if she had been there .

As a family of 9 we decided to go to the Spyglass and Kettle for Boxing day. We had gone the previous year and had a lovely meal. I had unfortunately filled the festive menu selection form in incorrectly!! (Senior moment) However Jo the manageress, with a laugh and a bit of banter, was superb and got us all sorted. We all had a really lovely 3 course meal. Compliments to Jo and all the waiting,bar and kitchen staff.

17 friends got together to enjoy the Christmas menu and oh we were not disappointed. The staff, Jo and her team were brilliant. Very attentive and we received very good friendly service . The food was excellent.various starters all delicious. Most of us had Roast Turkey with all the trimmings. The plates were almost over full . Definitely all fresh produce cooked. Everything was very tasty and cooked to perfection. The desserts were amazing. Well done to you all . We will definitely be back. Thank you so much

OK. A review of two halves. Positives first. Staff are wonderful. Really attentive and genuinely free and efficient. Food excellent. Room, oh dear. See photos. We did report this immediately but response was ‘yes we have another room like this’. I feel sorry for the great staff. Great location and so many good things, but Greene King need to sort the accommodation.

A Greene King hotel and pub. Conveniently located not far from one of the cliffs in Bournemouth. We stayed there just for a night, together with our friends. Classic accommodation - almost antique but fun, with good food, drinks and entertainment. The breakfast (full English) was sumptuous.
