Restaurants near Rockbourne Roman Villa

A lovely Midwinter meal, we particularly recommend the spiced fish soup (with perfectly cooked scallops), which was delicious and exactly right for this time of year. The hake and duck mains were especially impressive. Service was friendly despite the restaurant being very busy. Looking forward to going again.

Visited for the first time today, although myself and hubby have visited a number of ivys in the past and the new Bournemouth brasserie lived up to the high expectations of the Ivy. We were greeted with very friendly, welcoming and accommodating staff that honestly could not do enough for us. The decor is absolutely stunning and the service from start to finish was impeccable, we felt like royalty!! Most importantly the food was stunning. It was served to us in a very timely manner, well presented, hot and it was extremely delicious. We have already booked for Valentine’s weekend as we were totally blown away by the whole dining experience. Thank you and merry Christmas to all the wonderful hardworking staff at the Ivy that really did go above and beyond to make our experience a fantastic one.

Great English breakfast. Always a wonderful experience.

There is always a smiling friendly welcome from Connor and his team. We got the table we requested in the main restaurant and close to the warm woodburner. Great variety of food and drinks on offer for lunch and all reasonably priced. The Xmas trees were all sparkly giving a lovely festive atmosphere.

On arrival we were met by a member of staff who showed us to our table. Quickly our drinks order was taken and we were told that we would be told when to go up to the carvery. We were not in any hurry and waited about 5-10 minutes which was fine. The food was very good and there was a good variety of vegetables. The meat was tasty and easy to cut. Overall very pleased with the meal and service.
