The Quay

The Quay, Poole. Picture: Google Street View

Where: 21 The Quay, Poole, BH15 1HJ
Tripadvisor rating: 3.5/5
What the punters say: “Great location and good service via the Wetherspoon app. Very busy location at the quay in Poole, so sometimes clearing and cleaning wasn't as quick as it could've been. However, the food was always good. Because of covid and regulations, bookings in other places wasn't possible, so we ate at The Quay twice during the week. The grill for steaks and mixed grill was so nice and price couldn't be better! Perfect for holidaying families!”
“Went with friends on a very busy Friday night. The upstairs section which we normally use was shut so had to eat downstairs which was very full. Luckily found a table for four and went and ordered at the bar. Considering it was so busy, our food was at our table within about 10 mins! Three of us had fish and chips and one had pizza salad and garlic bread. All the food was delicious and hot and the girls serving and clearing the tables were really friendly. As it was so busy they were under a lot of pressure. We also ordered a couple of sweets and coffees. Perfect. I really can’t fault the food or service or come to that the value. Well done Wetherspoons.”
