Urban Reef - Bournemouth

Excellent Experience!!! We came here, as a party of 6, for a 40th birthday celebration and it didn't disappoint.

We came to Urban Reef post-surfing for some much needed grub and they really did not disappoint! Firstly, they sat all 9 of us outside - admittedly it was

Visiting Urban Reef is like watching a Lord of the Rings movie.

Amazing place right on the beach. Went for lunch and sat out in the sun. They seemed a bit short staffed, but were all very nice and helpful. Yes, we did have to wait a bit but it was worth the wait. The food was really good. We had squid, Korean wings and a chicken sandwich with chips. All very tasty and nicely presented. Will definitely return!

Visited today for lunch and overall it was a poor and vastly overpriced experience. We had to wait a long time to be seated but that would be expected in a particularly busy service (it was averagely busy). The staff were grumpy staff and seemed to lack any motivation. The food was barely average, I ordered a roast vegetable pizza but the vegetable toppings were barely cooked at all; my partner had a chicken burger which was fine but overpriced for what it was. The pizza came from a different kitchen to the burger so arrived at different times (this is fine but no one thought to tell us this when we ordered). It took an age to catch someone 's eye to get the bill and then a further 10 15mins for someone to bring it and pay. No one in this time offered to take our plates, or ask us if we wanted anything else or even how our meal was. The tip is also automatically added to the receipt so I had to ask not to pay it. Not worth the £38.75 our meal and drinks cost in total. AVOID unless you want overpriced food and poor service at a beach location.
