This looked like an interesting and quirky venue, although it wasn’t initially clear to me whether it was primarily a food venue or more of a bar.
They use beach huts as external seating to add some character to proceedings.
The food menu and the chicken schnitzel looked tempting…. But I had already eaten (not that this always stops me) and decided not to.
It was a pleasant interior and it transpired that it was a bar as well as a restaurant, although it wasn’t overly busy when we were there.
The postcard theme is evident here.
They had the Follow the Green Line from Round Corner Brewing and I was pleased to see something a little different on keg. It ran out near the top and the helpful team member said that they were changing the keg, although I was slightly doubtful that they’d have another as it’s not a mainstream beer. It transpired that they didn’t, so usually this beer would be discarded and another choice offered. But, I wanted this beer as I hadn’t had it and I’m happy with the end of a keg line, although not at the end of a cask line….. So, I asked to keep this and they could just pour some Asahi in another glass to make it up. I was glad that I did, it was a decent limey beer, citrusy and smooth.
It probably didn’t help their stock control, but there’s the Asahi which tasted as expected.
Some more postcards.
The venue had a welcoming atmosphere, the team members were friendly and I liked their beer selection as it made an effort to be wide-ranging. I hadn’t visited this bar when I’ve been in Bournemouth before, but they’ve been going for over a decade. All rather lovely.
