Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Studland

We had a delicious meal at the Ivy in Bournemouth. Would fully recommend the fish cakes. The staff are so lovely and looked after us really well. Couldn’t fault it in anyway.

Lovely food . The chicken strip starters were huge ! Good variety on menu good service

We went as my husband is in to smoking (food!) and weren’t disappointed. Good menu and excellent food in lovely surroundings. Lovely, accommodating staff, lovely clean toilets (always important!) and well spaced tables in the restaurant, so you didn’t feel as you do in some places that you’re sitting nigh on on top of the next table. Table service indoors too, which isn’t always the case these days, so another 10/10 there. The whole restaurant area is glass windows looking out on to the airstrip, giving great views of incoming and out going light aircraft. We were lucky enough to be by the window, but you could see the comings and going from wherever you were seated. Also several tables outside (‘buzzer service’ outside) where you can eat, or just sit and have a drink and watch the planes or admire the view of Shaftesbury. We travelled 2.10mis to get there and weren’t disappointed! We’ll be back 😊

Beach bar vibes and the burgers were delicious, the servers were helpful and efficient

Lovely pub, waterside location, parking available, staff friendly, food good.
