Quick info
About Funki Griller
Funki Griller is a steak house on Westover Rd in Bournemouth, open daily and established in 2010. Steaks are cooked in view of the dining room, and the "Griller Cam" lets guests watch their order on the grill. The menu centres on steak, including a 21oz rump served with peppercorn sauce, and scallops sit alongside it. A vegetarian meal is available for guests who skip the steak, and a Sunday roast is served. The kitchen works with locally sourced produce, and the core team brings years of hospitality experience. Gorilla-themed branding runs through the venue, and a live singer performs. The beach is close by.

Customer Review Summary
Steak is the draw, with diners calling it the best they have eaten and naming a fillet and a rump steak with peppercorn sauce, a 21oz rump cooked medium rare, and a tender, juicy birthday steak. Scallops, a Sunday roast and a vegetarian meal also earn praise, and several enjoy watching their food cooked on the Griller Cam. Staff are repeatedly called friendly, food is described as arriving quickly, and one regular of four years says it never disappoints. A wedding party also praised the three-course dinner and the BBQ for a large group. The main criticism comes from one reviewer who says the cocktails on the menu were excluded from the advertised happy hour, that food arrived so fast it seemed pre-cooked, and that they felt rushed out of an empty restaurant as a single diner. That reviewer also suspected the rib eye was actually rump. Another table, celebrating a birthday, was brought a brownie with a candle while the live singer sang happy birthday.

“I came here after cycling the day along the Bournemouth coast line. I went because they advertised happy hour on cocktails. When I went in he said that the cocktail on menu was not included because he couldn't afford to do those and said that he had fixed ones with either tequila vodka and whisky or something so I felt advertising was a little false on happy hour definitely just go to bed at one if you want cocktails. I ordered a starters and main which was brought out to me within 5 mins now that is fast which means the meat is pre cooked as I wanted well done it doesn't take 5 mins I felt I was rushed out of this restaurant for what I don't know the place was empty I just wanted to relax but was put in a position where I was forced to eat and be out within 25mins. DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU WANT TO RELAX they only want fast turn around a on tables and they don't like single diners. Also I'm pretty sure that I was given rumo steak and not rib eye but I was too tired to moan. A rib eye has an eye in middle this was just straight rump. All in all I just felt robbed as I wanted a relaxed experience not a super rushed one. The cocktail was ok but alcohol content was not there I would like to say go here but for me I will be avoiding this place try miller and carter just spend the little extra I wish I did!!!”

“We can’t thank the team at Funki Griller enough for catering both our pre-wedding dinner and post-wedding BBQ. Adam, Izi and Rhys were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. From helping us plan the menus to cooking and hosting on both days, everything was handled with professionalism, warmth and incredible attention to detail. Our pre-wedding dinner was a delicious three-course meal that completely exceeded our expectations. The food was exceptional, beautifully presented, and enjoyed by all of our guests. The following day, the team catered a BBQ for over 50 people, and once again delivered outstanding food and service. Throughout the weekend, so many of our guests commented on how delicious the food was and how friendly, welcoming and hardworking the Funki Griller team were. They played such a special part in our celebrations and helped make the whole weekend unforgettable. We would not hesitate to book Funki Griller again and couldn’t recommend them more highly. Thank you so much again, Adam, Izi and Rhys! Isabel & Rory”
