A Lovely Atmosphere, but Room for Improvement on the FoodnnMy team and I recently visited the Avocet, and I must say, the atmosphere was delightful. The pub itself is beautiful, with a cosy and welcoming interior that made for a pleasant evening.nnHowever, we were a bit disappointed with the food. The hamburger arrived cold, the fish in the fish and chips was lacking in flavor, and the mashed peas were unfortunately quite watery. Additionally, the serviettes were only brought to the table halfway through our meal, which felt a little unorganized.nnWhile we enjoyed the setting and had a great evening together, we hope to see some improvements in the food and service, as the Avocet has so much potential to be truly exceptional. We’d love to come back and experience it at its best.
Enjoyed a great Sunday roast at their intro price of £15 on till mid October I think! which was superb value. Everything was hot and nicely cooked, chicken was huge! Yorkie the only thing a bit ‘meh’ Lots of gravy and veg. Service was really good too. Such an improvement from past experiences here, well done to all! Deffo recommend.
We recently had the pleasure of booking the Avocet for our daughter’s Baby Shower celebrations, and I couldn’t be more impressed. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. The food was absolutely delicious, with a variety of dishes that were both flavorful and well-presented. The upstairs room available for hire was well-equipped, perfect for any event, and the outside terrace area added a lovely touch, offering a great space to relax. We have had the pleasure of doing a fair amount of setup’s here for our customers too and I would highly recommend The Avocet for both its excellent service and beautiful facilities!
I visited The Avocet quite sometime ago, after a long session of Bouldering it was around late May, 2023. From my experience, I really loved this pub! I was with a group of 4 including myself at the time, and we had absolutely no issue whatsoever with finding space in the pub. Thankfully the weather was absolutely gorgeous so we had sat in the outdoor terrace which was great!nnThe pub itself was well-maintained and had a real classy look to it, it’d be perfect for any occasion you might consider. I think I ordered the Crispy Chicken Burger alongside some Sticky Beef Rustic Fries which were to die for! The service wasn’t long at all, and the staff were incredibly friendly. I’ll be sure to come back again when I’m visiting Poole!
We hired the top room for a Christmas party. The food was pretty good as was the service, as well as can be expected being so far from the kitchen.
