  • It's a good place to hang out and there's always a good atmosphere whatever the weather

  • I take my daughter here, parents, swim, yoga, run, dance. It’s a safe welcoming peaceful community hub. Nothing like it at all here before sobo beach. Fits in so well with locals, not noisy nor late nor troublesome. A perfect fit, please don’t change this.

  • Because it’s a place to connect with other mums, a place to recover after a workout at the beach, a place to bring family and friends. It’s the heart of Southbourne

  • We travel from Surrey to meet friends here often. Great vibe, great people and great all round venue. It would be a huge loss if it went and sad for Southborne. We stay at Brewhouse and eat/drink in other establishments.

  • Sobo is my go to place, it’s a place where everyone seems happy, I think that is because it brings joy to everyone. I’ve been going there since it opened and I also take everyone who visits me from far and wide along to see it. The current owners have worked so hard to create something so unique and should be congratulated as they are always investing to improve it. The community NEEDS Sobo, please can we keep it 🙏
