Couldn’t have asked for more. The chefs who I believe were called Tom and Harry really made beautiful food. I would definitely return and really pleased with the overall service. Thank you all, especially Gracie. A credit to your team.

Thirteen
222, Ashley Road Parkstone, PooleThis was absolutely extraordinary. This is Thirteen, a relatively new restaurant that's open near us and is PHENOMENAL in every way. My parents and I checked this out last Thursday night (March 20th) to celebrate my 23rd birthday, and were absolutely blown away by it. I couldn't possibly have asked for a better birthday dinner. The whole experience was flawless from the incredible welcome on entry, to the service throughout, to the birthday card I received just before the dessert, signed by the whole team. That latter one especially blew me away - it was truly above and beyond, and deserves a special "thank you". Head chef Alex, along with his parents Elizabeth and Hem are absolute gems, and their passion was wonderful to see. But that goes for all the chefs, who took it in turns to introduce some of the courses, who I didn't quite catch the names of. It's rare you see such passion these days. And this doesn't even cover the immaculate, even spellbinding, 13 course degustation menu. To be honest I'm really struggling to name a favourite course, as they were all out of this world levels of brilliant, but I think the "herbs, cabbage", "mushroom, mushroom", and "brill, lardo" come out on top, roughly in that order as a top three. The photos attached are in the order we received them, so feel free to cross reference them to the menu. This was an absolutely brilliant experience that is fully deserving of a 5/5 rating on any review platform, and one that I really hope gets a Michelin Star soon - it could compete with (and probably exceed) any restaurant that already holds one any day. Absolutely tremendous, and I cannot wait to return.

Pizzeria Valona
12 High St, PooleI have to say that this place won my heart, simply one of the best pizzerias in the town.
Excellent service, everyone was super smiling and made me and my friends feel at home, they were super friendly with our dog and everyone in the restaurant were happy to have her there.
The food is beyond words, the pizza made in the wood oven makes all the difference.

NUSARA | Thai
40-42 High St, PooleNusara stands out as a posh haven of Thai cuisine in the area, offering a more refined take than the other Thai restaurants in Poole. The attention to detail is evident across the menu, elevating classic dishes to something a bit more polished without sacrificing authenticity.
We sampled the Pad Thai, Green Curry, and Crispy Beef, and each dish delivered on both flavour and presentation. The Pad Thai came with just the right balance of tang and sweetness, the noodles perfectly cooked with a delightful bite. The Green Curry was rich and aromatic, its coconut base carrying a deep warmth that didn’t overwhelm the delicate spices. The Crispy Beef, with its subtle crunch, was a standout, adding a satisfying texture to the meal.
While it’s a bit pricier than some of the more casual options nearby, Nusara justifies it with quality ingredients and well-executed dishes. For a more elevated Thai dining experience, it’s a solid choice.

The quality is great especially considering the price.
For me personally, it doesnt quite scratch my burger itch unlike other burger restaurants, but given the price it is generally faultless.
The only thing I was not a massive fan of was the burger sauce. Maybe I had a bad batch but it seemed to have way too many pickles and was too bitter.
Despite this I will definitely be coming back.

Star Pizza Poole
490 Ashley Rd, PooleI love star pizza. It’s as simple as that. From the comforting, delicate notes of their luscious pizza. To the warm, consoling aromatic feeling of their shish kebabs. The level of care, dedication and time that they put into their food is simply extraordinary. The tenderness of all their meats can only be compared a freshly baked loaf of bread or a lightly fluffed pillow. When I eat star pizza, I feel like I am being transported to Cloud 9 and served my food on a diamond encrusted silver platter with gold accents in the shape of pizza slices. Star Pizza is an ethereal experience. Star Pizza, I love you.

It was quite late so we didn't expect to find a 'sit down' open anywhere but were accommodated at Tandoori Nights and treated to a really good meal. I'm no connoisseur of Indian/Bangladeshi food but know it can be bland and oily or just nuclear hot. We had the Garlic Chicken and Naga Meat curries and both were spicy, hot yet full of flavour. It doesn't look much from the outside but gave us a very welcome end to a pleasant evening.

Ales are some of the best I've ever had, poured to the highest standard. Genuinely anyone that appreciates ale can see and taste the difference. These lines must be immaculate. The portion size is perfect enough you can't eat it all without being over the top. As a salad lover the side salad is top notch. The variety of fresh produce and French dressing is crisp fresh and best I've had in pub in years. Wonderfully the New Inn in Oakdale has equally great food now... Turns out same management.
So grateful to have to wonderful pubs now locally. As a newbie to Oakdale its so refreshing the locals, people, pubs staff and mgrs provide such a fab community feel.

Thirteen
222, Ashley Road Parkstone, PooleThis was absolutely extraordinary. This is Thirteen, a relatively new restaurant that's open near us and is PHENOMENAL in every way. My parents and I checked this out last Thursday night (March 20th) to celebrate my 23rd birthday, and were absolutely blown away by it. I couldn't possibly have asked for a better birthday dinner. The whole experience was flawless from the incredible welcome on entry, to the service throughout, to the birthday card I received just before the dessert, signed by the whole team. That latter one especially blew me away - it was truly above and beyond, and deserves a special "thank you". Head chef Alex, along with his parents Elizabeth and Hem are absolute gems, and their passion was wonderful to see. But that goes for all the chefs, who took it in turns to introduce some of the courses, who I didn't quite catch the names of. It's rare you see such passion these days. And this doesn't even cover the immaculate, even spellbinding, 13 course degustation menu. To be honest I'm really struggling to name a favourite course, as they were all out of this world levels of brilliant, but I think the "herbs, cabbage", "mushroom, mushroom", and "brill, lardo" come out on top, roughly in that order as a top three. The photos attached are in the order we received them, so feel free to cross reference them to the menu. This was an absolutely brilliant experience that is fully deserving of a 5/5 rating on any review platform, and one that I really hope gets a Michelin Star soon - it could compete with (and probably exceed) any restaurant that already holds one any day. Absolutely tremendous, and I cannot wait to return.

Pizzeria Valona
12 High St, PooleI have to say that this place won my heart, simply one of the best pizzerias in the town.
Excellent service, everyone was super smiling and made me and my friends feel at home, they were super friendly with our dog and everyone in the restaurant were happy to have her there.
The food is beyond words, the pizza made in the wood oven makes all the difference.
5 stars, I recommend trying this incredible place.

Makisu Sushi Bar Pan Asian Restaurant
4 Gillett Rd, PooleThis is some of the best Japanese food in Bournemouth! I have both eaten in and had take-away from this restaurant and both times have been excellent. I would especially recommend the salt and pepper squid, as it is the best I have ever had. It was so tender, fresh, and perfectly seasoned, absolutely delicious. Their sushi is also very good, they use lots of fresh fish, and each dish is beautifully presented. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be eating here again!

Fabulous menu and we love the way the catch of the day is drawn on the large table menus. And if you don’t eat here, it’s worth a visit just to use the toilets and hear the spoof shipping forecast. Hilarious. We’ll be back.
