Absolutely loved it. Best mussles I ever had in the UK! Delicious and good portions! The team is really sweet and lovely, even clearing seagulls away in a funny and lovely manner to ensure you enjoy a nice hassle free meal and experience!

The Forest Mushroom Bruchette was divine, the Panna Cote rather pedestrian (too custard-like and overwhelmed by the berry compote). Service was friendly and helpful, atmosphere quiet (it was a Tuesday evening).

Despite going to Poole Quay nearly every weekend my husband and I had never been in to Custom House, we’re very pleased we finally did. It was lunch time and we hadn’t booked, we were greeted warmly by Nikki who told us food could be a 30 minute wait, we were fine with this as we wanted a drink anyway so offered to take any table they could spare, Nikki was very accommodating. We both ordered the Fish & Chips with minted mushy peas, it arrived in lessthan 15 minutes which was a very pleasant surprised and was delicious! The chips were so crisp on the outside and fluffy inside, the minted peas were fab and the batter on the fish was wonderful, it was fried but so crisp and non-greasy that it was as if it was oven baked… my husband and I agreed it was one of the best Fish & Chips we’ve had for quite a while… we are looking forward to coming back for a dinner next time and hope to be greeted by Nikki again, she’s so lovely.

Been coming here various times over the years and has never failed to deliver whether for breakfast, lunch or dinner.Nikki and her team give you a warm welcome and are very attentive.Tastefully decorated inside and plenty of outside seating should the weather allow. This visit was for an evening meal. Lovely to see a Grenache Rose on offer. Started with a sharing Charcuterie Board which was amazing, beautifully presented. Our mains were the Haddock and Chips and the Pork Schnitzel. Everything sensibly priced. Cannot recommend highly enough but if eating inside worth booking in advance to avoid disappointment.

A bit of a last minute request on a warm Sunday evening saw us very lucky to be given a table for 5. Most of the tables outside were busy and there were a few larger groups inside. Our service was prompt and friendly. The food and drink went down well. Most places to eat along the quayside looked busy so making a reservation is recommended.

Great customer service, but comes at a price, expensive compared with other local businesses. Very poor value for money.

The cafe is set a little away from the busiest part of Poole Harbour, overlooking the shipyards, with the historic weighing post still visible at the entrance. There is both outdoor and indoor seating. The moules frites was tasty, creamy, and full of texture, but the mussels were rather gritty. The service was very good and all the staff friendly and welcoming.

Great service, lovely waitresses. The restaurant has a very nice homely feel too. My friend and I had breakfast there, which was tasty and good quality.

This is a beautiful location for a meal at any time of day, I was here for breakfast and a walk along the harbour.Because of the location the price is bound to be a little higher.The staff were attentive and prompt.I had a small English breakfast and a cappuccino which came out first and was very nice, hot and strong.I was a little dissatisfied with the breakfast as neither the bacon nor beans were hot, they didn’t have that just cooked feel about them. But the portion and flavours were great.I didn’t complain directly, normally would but I was in a rush.Minor niggles and I would return

What an amazing meal. They adapted both starter and main to make gluten free. Kept us informed if when food would arrive. It was great the weather was nice so we could sit outside. Great food and less than i thought in my head. Great service. Thankyou x
