This place is a fucking gem of loveliness! Lovely staff, chill atmosphere with nautical theme and the breakfast is very reasonable price and is to die for! 😍😍😍
Very friendly staff, good choice of dishes and the food was lively, good choice of beer on tap for a restaurant too. We all enjoyed the food a lot
Absolutely amazing meal ...when something was so effortless .....that really is the very best, brilliant food, great atmosphere and the staff and customer service were first class ! I would recommend to anyone ! Thanks guys just brilliant !
This was our 2nd visit here and the food was was magnificent! The food and the staff are fabulous,great atmosphere and I recommend it very much.
Service was great, staff were really polite and friendly. Food was great and cider was lovely. Really lovely sitting outside with blankets too, great menu choices and reasonably priced if on the higher side for a pub lunch but worth it. Ingredients were fresh and tasty. We rocked up on our bikes but wasn't a problem.
OMG what an amazing evening. Birthday dinner with friends tonight and it was wonderful. From the artisan bread with butter, to squid and chorizo to start with. Then chicken and chorizo skewers, lamb skewers and fish bucket .... and it was incredible. All washed down with a gorgeous bottle of red wine. Truly excellent meal guys. Thank you!!! If you haven’t been here yet, you need to go!
Very friendly atmosphere and welcoming staff. We were able to take our dog inside to eat and he was also made a fuss of. The menu was amazing but the food was excellent. For the 3 of us we chose the fish bucket, Bon Bon chorizo and Asian beef salad. All highly recommended. Loved it here can't wait to go back.
Last night of our family holiday and treated ourselves to the bbq ribs and chicken wing combo, endless wings!!!!
Lovely, tasty food served by polite and friendly staff. Thank you for making our last night in Christchurch a lovely evening before heading back to London in the morning-we will be back again �.
Lovely place! Food was great , me and my partner both had the ribs , they fell off the bone tasted amazing! Would definitely recommend. Staff were lovely too! Would definitely return when we are back in the area!
Always friendly and welcoming staff and great service. Regular offers means there's always a good excuse to go in, helped by a good drinks selection as well. Would (and do) highly recommend it to anyone in the area.
Nice atmosphere, good food and cocktails..and the staff actually take the time to interact with customers. Really enjoyed our meal there.
Great staff! We are regular visitors, best place in Christchurch to eat & drink!
Very welcoming staff to go along with some delicious food. We will certainly be back.
The fish bucket on the menu was amazing.
Had yet another lovely dinner here. We had the fish bucket and the crab cakes, delicious. The offer on the cocktails - 2 for £12 before 7pm also appreciated. Service was quick, friendly and attentive.
On holiday and walked in on the off chance. Service was quick and staff were friendly. There is a good selection on the menu and our food was amazing. Seasoned well and cooked to perfection. There is also a good selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.
Quite disappointed with the breakfast, poached eggs were overcooked and the avocado not ripe enough other than that the selection was great and it could be amazing. Very friendly staff and lovely atmosphere.
Came back for lunch and loved it. A little bit costly but enjoyed it a lot. Staff and service was amazing. And did sunday roast today. Quite pleased with it but pretty sure I've had the most expensive glass of wine ever(£10)
Twice in One Week!
Me and my party came to the James and White last week for the first time and it left a great first impression. To the point we came back again days later!
Why? Continue reading and you'll see that great customer service and great quality food have a lasting impact and our experience at James and White were one to remember.
The atmosphere inside James and White is relaxed and casual but still has a classy and cozy vibe to it.
I also respect this establishment for being dog friendly which allows anyone with well behaved four legged friends to be welcomed here.
We were served immediately upon arrival and had the opportunity to order drinks. It didn't take us long to decide from the menu which offers plenty of options with great variety from salads, full English breakfast, steaks and burgers just to name a few.
We only waited about 15 minutes for our food which was greatly received. Portion sizes were impressive, the food itself is a little pricey compared to some other restaurants but as someone who believes you get what you pay for, the quality and quantity of the food here is well worth your money. With great choice from the menu, I asked for a recommendation from our host Naomi who recommended the chicken Katsu curry which I very much enjoyed. (Reference in images)
I also chose calamari as a side and I'll say its possibly the best calamari I've had and comes with a delicious sweet chilli sauce. I made a point to order more on our second visit here.
They also have a nice selection of deserts which went down well after our main.
Our overall experience at the James and White left us impressed enough for us to come back a few days later for another great experience.
I'd like to say a big thank you for our Host Naiomi and Spencer for ensuring we were well looked after here.
A great establishment with not only great food but great customer service.
We'll be back for a third, fourth, fifth..
Dinned here on the off chance of getting in with out a reservation. We were looking around Christchurch and decided to eat here before heading back. Luckily they could accommodate us. Situated just by the church outer wall at dead end . It has a small outside seating area with heaters and blankets. The service was incredibly quick, it seemed no sooner we ordered our food that it was in front of us. Tea coffee and alcohol drinks including some cocktails are available. The food was tasty and fairly portioned. £25 a head including drinks. If you fancy an evening meal I recommend here .
Table of 8, Food was banging. My taste buds were truly feeling really contented when leaving & a full belly! Great service & would totally have the same again! Thank you for having us.
If you're looking for a hearty meal and delicious cocktail to wash it down, I'd highly recommend this spot. Right next to the Priory too, so perfect for a short walk if you're not too stuffed.
Great choice on the menu, excellent service and food! Highly recommend.
Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and the food is incredibly good. I Highly recommend
What a great place to celebrate a special occasion. Everyone went above and beyond to make the day so special. Great Food and Drinks served by great people at very affordable prices. A great day enjoyed by all. Thank you so much.

Very friendly staff, good choice of dishes and the food was lovely, good choice of beer on tap for a restaurant too. We all enjoyed the food a lot
Great value food,the best non alcoholic ginger beer I have tasted. Recommend Fish Bucket for two.Crab Fishcakes especially delicious.!!
Fantastic food and fantastic service. We ate here on a Tuesday night, it wasn't particularly busy but the guys waited for us to finish our food and didn't rush us at all! We were the last ones standing still drinking our wine. We were even offered coffee and dessert and told to take our time. Felt very welcomed and comfortable. The chicken and ribs combo was excellent!
To top it off, one of the guys came over and offered me a free beer as he poured it by mistake. What a lovely touch! Will be back again and again!
Great place for fish and chips, yum! Excellent service and reasonable prices.
Very nice small restaurant on the high street! Very friendly staff and a great menu to pick from. I went with the “fish bucket” which was a great choice, full of great sea food. The steak was also great with a brilliant sauce! They also had tiny rebel on tap which was a great beer!
Loved it. Didn't get any starters. Just the rack of ribs and the fish bucket and shared both.
Really enjoyed the ambience. Never easy to dine out on a Monday evening but the restaurant was busy and the staff friendly and efficient. It was our first visit and we'll be back. The special offer menu is very good value and appealing and they also have a restaurant in Sea Road, Boscombe, which is very appealing.
Enjoyed a lovely lunch at James & White. Friendly service and tasty food.
The chicken liver pate starter was really delicious and the fish & chips and fish bucket came in a generous portion sizes. Prices were reasonable too.
Lovely place to eat. Reasonable enough prices. Good quality food, good portions. We had fish and chips which was fab.
We didnt book but ate around 5.30pm on a Friday night. It was much busier by the time we left so advised to book.
Nice ambience, lovely staff.
