Slipway Cafe Bar in Poole

Went for a meal and came away happy, 3 of us had beer battered fish with chips, mushy peas and tartar sauce, the other person had sirloin steak and chips and apart from about 4 chips the plates went back empty, it was lovely no nonsense food at its best. The staff were very good and friendly. Outside is an absolutely lovely place to to enjoy a drink and watch the sun set. We will definitely go there again.

Very poor service for a large pre-booked group for a sunday carvery. Ran out of almost everything, with very little in the way of apologies or any offer of compensation with the bill. Would definitely not go back for sunday lunch. It's a shame as it's a great setting and a stunning place.

A wonderful roast dinner and dessert at this very nice hidden gem of a place. Gorgeous views in the bar upstairs afterwards. Food delicious, staff excellent.

As soon as we walked in the service was absolutely shocking, so bad we decided to leave. We were ignored the whole time we were there by the girls working. Asked for a childrens menu and one never came.

Decided to step away from the regular restaurant chains in Poole and so glad we did. A delightful meal at Riggers while staying locally.Beautiful sunset views from the restaurant- and the upstairs bar (even better view) and a good spot for post dinner drinks.Food very reasonably priced. Service very friendly. Would visit again without hesitation, also good to be supporting the RNLI.

Great little restaurant based inside the RNLI College but open to the public. The food is nice, the prices very reasonable and the staff are always friendly. The views out over Poole Harbour are brilliant too, sit upstairs if you can! Would thoroughly recommend a visit!

Nice Sunday lunch at a very reasonable price. With the beef being cooked perfectly (rare)!Most of the staff were helpful and friendly.Would definately go again.

Food was excellent so compliments to the chef. But the service was absolutely terrible. On trying to order our dessert and more wine we were blatantly ignored by 3 members of staff (at one point being told we had to wait). We thought waiting for nearly 40mins to even order our dessert was unacceptable so we got up and left. Manager apologised. We were also approached by one of the waiters on our way out asking more or less what our problem was. It was all very embarrassing. Needless to say we will not be returning. Shame because the venue is very nice and the evening started so well.

Came here for my birthday. What a fabulous choice I made! The Royal National Lifeboat Institution college is an impressive architect designed building in beautiful harbour side surroundings. You dine in a bright, circular shaped room which looks out across the quay. We had the buffet lunch. Dinner is served after 4pm. After our meal we went upstairs to the bar for a liqueur where the views are even more enjoyable. This is a lovely and unusual place to have a meal.

Super service from friendly and helpful staff. Can’t ask for more from the on site restaurant at the RNLI College. What a lovely venue.The food was top quality for a pub/bistro/regular restaurant. Highly recommended- very reasonable and for a great cause.
