Often busy but fine for a macca’s!
McDonald’s on Old Christchurch Road provides the expected quick-service experience typical of the chain. With its central location in Bournemouth, it's easily accessible for a fast bite. The restaurant maintains a good level of cleanliness, though during peak hours, it is understandable there might be a bit of a decline.
I prefer to sit in the upstairs restaurant space myself as it is often a bit quieter and more chilled-out as I’m guessing not everyone knows it’s there. Seating can be limited during rush hours, so plan accordingly. It’s also away from the kids play area downstairs, which I’m sure is great for young families but a bit noisy for me! The ambience is what you’d expect, with the typical McDonald’s decor and layout.
Service is good. The staff are generally friendly and efficient, but as you’d expect with any central McDonald’s the restaurant can get busy. The menu offers the standard McDonald’s fare, with meals prepared quickly, with the quality and taste are consistent with expectations—satisfying, usually hot/fresh and great if you have had a heavy night out beforehand but otherwise what you would expect for the price.
Sadly, through no fault of their own there can be some anti-social behaviour when attending the location at night time. They manage it as best they can with hired security, warnings through the loudspeakers when it does occur, and a more limited downstairs-only seating area to encourage people not to loiter. I guess it is just one of those things that comes with the location/territory and I’m still happy it’s there as an option for a low-budget quick bite.
The Wi-Fi is a convenient feature, though connectivity and phone signal generally there (I’m on Three) can be patchy.
In summary, this McDonald’s is a decent option for those seeking a quick, inexpensive meal in Bournemouth. The food is usually hot and fresh, the place is usually clean and the staff are usually friendly. For a no-frills dining experience, it suffices!
We tried the strawberry lemonade and it was delicious. Personally I don't prefer any other beverage in MacDonalds. However this drink was so delicious and refreshing. Therefore I would recommend this to try.
Really big outlet…kids playing section…liked the ambience

The new Twix Toffee Apple McFlurry is amazing 👏 pitty it's just limited edition
Clean and fast service. Plenty of room to seat.
Always full of people. Restrooms need a little of attention mostly of the time, to small for the amount of customers they receive every day.
I visited McDonald's in Bournemouth twice this week, just for a McFlurry in this heat. The shop was very clean and tidy despite being busy, the staff serving were friendly and polite.
The portion size of the McFlurrys was OK, some branches of McDonalds only give small portions.
Fantastic store. They had great safety procedures in place and really good staff. Food came out fresh and delicious and we were even greeted on the way out. Very nice.
Nice McDonald's. Nice and helpful staff. You only have to look through the digital table where collection and preparation are not looked through.
The food was nice but it took a long time for the food to arrive.
