Came for Sunday lunch. Lovely location and setting, nice warm welcome and dog friendly. The twisted bellini packs a punch! We came because the Echo said its one of the best roasts in the county. This is a bit far fetched to be honest, the beef was over cooked and a bit tough, the Yorkshire was so crispy and dry, when I pressed it between my finger and thumb, it turned to dust. The gravy is good, as was the veg. Service was fast and the wine was good. Lovely outdoor area. Pleasant staff, might pop back in for a drink when next in the area and hopefully the feedback I gave to the team member is taken on board. Would be great as The Canford does have positives, but the roast just didn't live up to expectations.

The canford has gone downhill. It's a place we have been many of times and always loved however on our last visit, we had a terrible experience! There was no staff to be seen as we walked in, we then waited over 15 minutes to be given menu's. The waitress walked past ignoring us on many occasions in which we then had to shout for her attention.Once ordered the drinks order was wrong, then when the food came out we had to wait for cutlery which should have already been laid out.The foot itself was nice but still room for improvement.If you're planning a visit in the winter I would advise you to take a coat to eat in.

Super venue for a simple coffee, snack or full blown meal. Good service, food is very good but not quite excellent...can be pricey.Warm and cosy in the winter and bright and sunny in the summer, especially in their garden room. The Canford has a superb outside area. Worth a visit.

Fantastic boutique hotel with lovely restaurant. The rooms here are amazing! This is definitely more than a 3 star in terms of quality and size of the bedrooms.There are several areas to eat. The bar is lovely and cosy and welcomes dogs. We ate in the conservatory part (dinner and breakfast) which is really nice and then there is a fab garden area to the back.Definitely recommend staying or eating here - superb!

Lovely staff fitted us in for a last minute Sunday lunch booking. VERY dog friendly - great if you love them, probably head elsewhere if you don't.One drink forgotten but food appeared in good time and staff clearly working hard in a busy shift. Menu looked excellent. We went for roasts; £19 for pork and £20 for chicken. It wasn't particularly special and potatoes not good, so felt on the pricey side- chicken probably the better option. Sides were pricey £6 for essentially 3 discs of sausage meat seemed too much. Children's meals at £8.50 seemed more reasonable (better value if it could have included a drink?) and the battered fish was really nice and good portion size.Wouldn't rush to return on a Sunday but the garden is lovely and think the menu looks promising.

Went with friends for pre Xmas lunch and enjoyed our time there. The table was set up nicely, the place is well decorated for the season. Main part is that service and food were really good, even for a fussy person like me, I cannot complain. Staff was attentive.Very recommend this place, it is lovely in summer as well and close to the beach.

First time visiting yesterday for Sunday lunch and we were very impressed with the food and atmosphere. Three of our party had the Sunday roast and it was top notch and two of us had the fish which was perfectly done. Desserts all delicious too. All the staff were very friendly and accommodating and after we finished our meal they even found us a table to watch the World cup rugby match. We will definitely be back again soon. Would highly recommend. Thank you for a lovely afternoon.

Last minute Sunday lunch with friends and pleasantly surprised with The Canford, great food, great service, lots of room and tables, and tucked away with only a few steps/ minutes to the coastline for long walks and beach. Definitely going to return. Two of us had the nut roast, one burger and one pork belly with a range of desserts between us.

WORST CLUB SANDWICH EVER... £12.50... better off going the local supermarket and paying 1/5th of the price!!! Will not return and do not reccomend. lots of better options in the area...

The roast dinner today was really not good. 3 enormous slices of tough and fatty beef that was even difficult to cut, let alone chew. 1/2 a roasted carrot, a bit of watery cabbage and 3 small soft roast potatos. A desert spoon of mash potato and tasteless gravy plus a huge dry Yorkshire pudding. The service was good and the staff helpful. The only reason it had atmosphere were the people I was with. Extremely disappointed and expensive. Three of us wrapped up the meat to take home to the dog. I did advise the staff member who was at the till that the meat was inedible. She thanked me and said she would let 'chef' know. Such a shame as it was a lovely celebration party.
