Visited The Kitchen yesterday for the first time since it reopened and wow!
This place has had so much potential for years, yet I feel it was never used appropriately. With a new General Manager in place and now a much more friendly team of staff this place seems to be buzzing already and there were limited seats when we turned up.
I had the Fish in a Bun which was bloody delicious and there was no faults from any of us on our table.
With the weather on the change and the evenings getting lighter this is just a perfect spot.
Well done to Jack and the team for turning this place around!
Great coffee and sweet treats here with a view to die for!
A cosy comfy, relaxed setting for a lazy rainy afternoon with the family.
Lovely views across the park and cool art deco vibes.
Staff were fabulous
The food we had was absolutely delicious, but would have liked to see a soup option / pasta dish and jacket potatoes - that would have made it a 5 star and helped us best cater to all allergies and dietary restrictions. But cannot fault what we did eat. Very yummy.
Great scenery.
Delicious meals with a wide variety of cuisine on the menu to pick from.
The service is simple and effective I would say. Overall its still an A rating in my book.
Modern cafe with easy access and good selection catering for all tastes situated in Poole Park. Fantastic view over large lake with gulls, ducks and swans including the pedalo variety! Ample free parking and plenty of disabled spaces. The view from the first floor balcony must be spectacular when open. Separate ice cream parlour. Recommended.
Place is wonderful especially when the sun is out. Went there bank holiday 1st of May. Not that busy but only two staff clearing out the tables. Wait for your order and carry it to your choice of place. I recommend to go up the balcony and it will lighten up your day due to the nice view. Went to the toilet but staff told me that it’s for customers only so I told them if I can go to the loo first before ordering to make me more engaging. Workers in the counter needs proper working trousers to avoid upsetting anybody.
Very nice food and quick service. For a park cafe this felt much more superior. Good value with helpful staff
Went for a spot of lunch and the food was amazing! There was a slight wait but nothing major and was definitely well worth the wait!! Was so impressed with the cleanliness, the floor staff were always cleaning and clearing tables we were very impressed! The manager who was on shift was amazing, made us feel very welcome and couldn’t apologise enough for the wait but we assured him that the wait wasn’t long at all and was worth it! Will definitely be returning!!
**DOG FRIENDLY** Highly recommended. Lovely staff and quick service with a nice outside decking area to sit and eat with your dog. 5*
Amazing place to go with the kids- amazing view, great food, superb atmosphere. Friendly team and great vibe. Also- i've got a great chat with Jack- the manager, who really care about the place and his guests. Good job Guys!
Friendly staff, yammy cheese&beans jacket potato for my kittle one and Mediterranean tartine for me👍
The best view we have had with lunch. Excellent value for the quality of food and service. Very busy and the guys were flat out, looked stressful but still had the time to be friendly and bring over some water for our dog.
Will be back and definitely RECCOMEND.

Great place to stop for a coffee or sit and have lunch. The food is reasonably priced and the restaurant open and spacious. The views are breathtaking and the staff are attentive. Great place to try if you happen to be visiting Poole Park.
