Quick info
About Wild Boscombe
On Christchurch Rd in Bournemouth, Wild Boscombe is an independent, family-run cafe that opens daily. The menu runs to eight dishes, led by Bunny Chow, which comes in a chicken version, and it also lists toasties and sandwiches. Coffee, tea and smoothies cover the drinks, and carrot cake and dark chocolate brownie are on the menu for something sweet. A vinyl player and a collection of records let customers choose what plays, and one of the owners mixes the music. The interior is wood and the space is small. Card games and board games are available to play at the table.

Customer Review Summary
Bunny chow is what reviewers return to most, with a chicken version called excellent, another diner calling it very tasty, and one describing it as the most delicious alongside smoothies. Coffee comes close behind, with one reviewer saying it beats most popular spots despite the small space, and others pairing it with toasties and sandwiches. Carrot cake and a dark chocolate brownie get a mention too, and one reviewer praises the tea. Reviewers describe the owners and staff as friendly and welcoming, and several say they enjoyed chatting with them. The music is a recurring draw, from a vinyl collection that customers can choose from and play to a mix put together by one of the owners. One reviewer finds the room a bit cramped because of the architecture, though says the team makes the most of it, and another likes the outdoor seats. Card and board games are on hand, and one visitor left with a free packet of wildflower seeds.
