  “Would have given five stars,(as I love this places location!) but sadly didn't due to the fact I was on crutches(due to me having had a fall in Dec of 2025),and I heard a member of staff (when asked) that the toilets were upstairs!! All I can say is I'm fortunate I wasn't desperate(As I had to wait until I got home),which again luckily for me is only a few miles away!!!🥴”

  “We fancied breakfast overlooking the sea so we wandered down and sat upstairs on the terrace. Menu is very varied and good quality. My daughter had the shakshuka and I had eggs royale - both highly recommended. Coffee was excellent and they’ll do iced versions if you ask. Service was from a kiosk upstairs and the staff were really friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We stayed there a good few hours in the sun and didn’t feel like we should be rushing off. I also had a slice of Dorset apple cake which was lovely with a cup of tea.”

  “The location is great and the atmosphere is pleasant enough, although the furniture feels a little dated. Service was okay, but nothing particularly memorable. Unfortunately, the food was quite inconsistent. The eggs were fine and the berries were fresh and enjoyable. However, the pancakes were described as fluffy American-style pancakes, and what arrived really didn’t match that description in either texture or appearance. The biggest disappointment was the smashed avocado. It had almost no flavour, and the avocado itself didn’t seem to be good quality, which made the whole dish quite unpleasant. Overall, a lovely location with potential, but based on my experience, the food quality and consistency need improvement, particularly considering what is being advertised on the menu.”

  “Always a quiet area visiting family, can see the herds of visitors in the distance. A beautiful place & feel safe with Lifeguard patrols. Food in easy reach & looked after wherever we go on the beach.”

  “I'm giving Chineside a 5 star review based on their Gluten Free Menu from which I ate today. Good food, realistic prices, great position by the beach.”

  “Just perfect, the location is stunning, right on the beach, great to people watch and watch the waves crash. The staff are amazing, helpful and so nice to see the same friendly faces. The food is fantastic, I love the scampi, the scrambled eggs, the hash browns, the vegi chilli, the steak was amazing and the cake… the cake is sooo good. This is our favourite place for brunch, the staff are always so nice and it’s just got that perfect relaxed atmosphere. Even better is that it is dog friendly, which is great for our two beasts,, they normally get a sausage or two. If anyone leaves a bad review they are clearly mad, what more could you ask for. Thank you to all the staff and the chefs that look after us every week, you are the reason we keep coming back.”

  “Lovely place to stop for brunch on our 10mile walk from Sandbanks to Boscombe Pier and back. The service was good and the Gluten-free menu extensive, the food was delicious and reasonably priced too. They even allowed me to pay extra to add smoked salmon.”
