Because it’s the best social place for families

Great for the community

Brings the vibe during the summer months, and warmth in the winter months! Turns a walk along the beach into a place to meet friends and family, informal, impromptu perfection.

They have created something special from nothing. Its of social and commercial value. It seems illogical to terminate for purely commercial reasons. What is local government for if not for communities?

Sobo beach is part of the community bringing people together who support each other.

It is a place to meet friends, before and after a dip, living their extra activities at the weekend and it always oozes love and community.

I love it because I always stop there on my morning walk and it is so friendly and welcoming. The previous people who were there were awful so we are so lucky now with Sobo Beach.

My family come to visit my grandparents as often as we can and the memories we’ve made there are like no other.

Regular user of it all year round. Great vibe, and nothing else like it locally.

I visit every year with friends and would be gutted if SOBO closed. Such a great community asset x

It’s one of the better beach cafes/restaurants and does not charge a fortune. Unless there bid is really low they should be allowed to renew. If you go for the highest bid it will just be another restaurant that a family can not afford to eat in.

Often walk on that parade. Pop into Sobo for coffee or Zero beer. Has a feel good factor that might be lost and might not be replicated by the next “mystery” operators. Kiddies who work there do a fine job. What are the councils parameters and terms of regerence??!

I love the atmosphere, and the stunning location of Bar Sobo

I go here very often in the summer and it is a great place as we all know Boscome is a dump and this is the only nice place in that area
Sam, Christchurch · signed 2 days ago
Great place on the beach love to walk the dog and stop off and have a coffee & the best doggy donuts and great place to meet friends & family
Tania, Christchurch · signed 2 days ago
It’s a brilliant place for local people all year round, they have the right vibe, interested in the community, they hold various craft courses. We should have more of these along the promenade, run by individuals and not the council.
Sue, Bournemouth · signed 2 days ago
If its not broke, why fix it!!!
Beverley, Poole · signed 2 days ago
