Off on the train to Bournemouth for a day out to celebrate hubby’s birthday. Now I like to do my research before I go and eat anywhere but can’t always find out an honest opinion about restaurants from internet search engines. I had met Nick from Lost in the Larder at the Jo Pratt event a few months ago and I remembered that he came from that neck of the woods so I contacted him. A big thank you to Nick as he came up with several recommendations, all of which looked great.
The first one I booked was The Print Room; unfortunately a week before we were due to go I received a phone call to say it had gone under!
So back to the recommendations and I booked West Beach
It was easy to find, being on the beach and we were seated by the window ( thankfully not outside due to our delightful British summer weather!). We enjoyed a fabulous lunch; being a beachside restaurant, fish is their speciality and they do it very well. There was just one small drawback, birthday boy hubby ordered a lemon tart for dessert; unfortunately we were told 25 minutes after we ordered it, that it was not available. The staff were apologetic but it was just a shame we couldn’t have been told earlier. However, the other two courses were perfect and could not be faulted at all.
