What User likes about The Poole Arms:
nice pub, friendly staff and delicious food. had the scallops for beginners who were delicious, and skate and see bass for netzen, who were just as great. will come again to drink and eat. 10/10 would recommend. View all feedback. What 4catherine l (1 4 months ago on Google doesn't like about The Poole Arms:
seafood was fresh and delicious, highly recommend the mussels and the bread was freshly baked and soft. we got the salt and pepper squid however this was not well seasoned and the membrane of the squid was not cut off making it quite chewy. interior is a bit dated however staff were lovely and attentive.
