TWELVE EATERY

Bournemouth

About the restaurant

Sustainability and nutritional is at the core of Twelve. There are no obvious vegan cues and most of our guests don’t even make the connection that the menus is plant-based.

Twelve is defined not by what’s missing but by what it is.

Twelve Eatery is where vegans, vegetarians, pescetarians, flexitarians, omnivores and meat eaters meet to try creative dishes in a good atmosphere with stylish interiors.

We believe great food and good music should be enjoyed by everyone!

Bridport

About the restaurant

You'll find us nestled snugly right on Seatown Beach, hidden along one of the many coves that litter Dorset's famous Jurassic coastline. Once a smugglers haunt, the pub now serves a seasonal menu with a focus on seafood and fresh local produce.

Complete with wood fires and Palmers award winning ales, the pub is the perfect location to refuel after a day on the coastal path or for a special evening meal with friends or family.

About the restaurant

The Old Inn is a traditional country pub in the heart of the idyllic village of Holt. Situated close to the historic town of Wimborne Minster, The Old Inn is the perfect destination when you fancy a homemade, traditional pub meal. With real fires, a beautiful garden and fantastic service, this pub is definitely worth a visit. We have worked hard to put together a menu that offers something for everyone. Everything is freshly prepared at the Old Inn, from our Chicken Liver paté, to children’s chicken nuggets. We pride ourselves that all of our meals are traditionally cooked using largely locally sourced ingredients and our seasonal specials are definitely worth looking at too, as well as our delicious desserts! We aim to provide a prompt, efficient and friendly service and we can cater for all types of parties.

Our first time at Clavells and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Staff are lovely and very accommodating. We had our large dog with us and they put us in the corner out the way and brought him water and a biscuit. They even sorted out a local taxi for us (which we didn’t think was possible with a big dog in tow!) The portions are huge and very tasty. Bit on the pricey side - but you are in the middle of nowhere and I guess they have to cover themselves for the quieter winter months. We’ll certainly return 👍🏻

My husband and I booked at short notice, we both had the sea bass fillets on a bean risotto. It was delicious and although the young lady seemed to be serving on her own, we weren't ignored, she was very accommodating. We will definitely be back.

This our first visit to Pho as we were in the area and wanted to try somewhere different. The food and service were very good and I’ll definitely look for one of the London venues try.
