Such a vibrant part of the local scene. I love to eat and drink there when I'm walking the beaches from Hengistbury to Sandbanks, as I do frequently as part of my exercise regime as a fit 70 year old.

The vibe and relaxed atmosphere to enjoy time with family and friends is invaluable. It’s a truly special venue that reflects the community

It’s just an amazing venue. I’ve been lucky enough to perform at this amazing place, which provides an incredible amount to the local community. We need more places like this, not less.

Love going there when I come down. Top people and such a brilliant atmosphere.
Mr, the UK · signed 2 days ago
It represents everything that is great about community, southbourne and the wider area- to lose it would be completely against the local community’s wishes
Kate, Bournemouth · signed 2 days ago
These guys have made such an amazing local venue, which is so much more than just a bar. They've created a massive community that BCP will inevitably ruin. Please consider them to continue the lease.

Always meet there with my friend who lives in Southborne - beach walk and hot chocolate supports our mental health.

Great place which the owners have built up not only for a living but made it a great social hub for people to meet up. Think they should run the council, they would make a far better job of it.

We live on the top of Southbourne overcliff drive and use this place all year Round

Its a community ,wellbeing at the heart of it and it's become part of people's lives ,it promotes health and wellness you would be so irresponsible to remove it amd put more strain on the NHS! It is completely idiocy to shut it down
Emma, Christchurch · signed 2 days ago
We come here several times a week for breakfast, coffee, lunch or drinks! That’s why it’s so special.
A supporter in Southbourne · signed 2 days ago
It is a local landmark that all local families of all ages use and love. It brings money to the area and Southbourne will a lot of soul if it goes.
Matt, Southbourne · signed 2 days ago
It’s a relaxed space which isn’t pretentious like other waterside hospitality. The wellbeing events are what a world needs right now and supports local people and businesses

A beautiful place to catch up with friends and family
Wayne, Southbourne · signed 2 days ago
It’s more than a seasonal venue, it’s a home, a place where you can enjoy and meet people and create an amazing community. Which is rare to find nowadays.
