Sub-standard food, very bland with no taste. Overpriced. Avoid and find somewhere elsewhere.

Great food options and quality, just a touch expensive.

Used to go here a lot with my gran when I still lived in England an it's one of the places I miss, good choice of hot freshly made food an yummy cakes/coffee- love the old fashioned American diner feel although it could a bit of a tight squeeze in there when busy. Hope it keeps on going?

On this occasion I went in for breakfast, which was reasonably priced. The £5.95 small breakfast also includes toast and marmalade. Pleasant, cheerful and personaable staff, and a relaxed atmosphere. In addition to the breakfasts, they do a huge choice of food at other times of the day, from salads and sandwiches, to light bites and pasta dishes, and a carvery (highly recommended). They also have a wide range of desserts, with options to suit all dietary needs. A perfect place to stop for breakfast or lunch when in Poole. Beware, however it gets extremely busy at lunchtime, with a possible wait for a table. Get there early. Closed on Sundays.

First I would like to say the food was perfectly fine but had I not had our daughter and a hungry 18month grandchild with us I wouldn't have even got as far as trying the food because I would have left due to the attitude and plain rudeness that we received from the person taking our food order. I was absolutely disgusted with their attitude towards us. I will not be returning as there are plenty of other places where I can spend nearly £40 on breakfast and not be treated like an inconvenience by a member of staff who clearly thinks they are above taking food orders.

Ordered jacket potato with chicken coronation, the potato was warm and the chicken coronation was cold. Ordered this meal with a large cappuccino and the drink was more enjoyable than the meal. Don't recommend and such a shame as the price £12 was value for money but the quality of the food was a let down.

Visited at 1pm today.As expected there was a long queue of silver haired patrons at this time of day.So the staff were pretty busy.The coffee was "freshly" made for me at the till but it was only luke warm when I sat down.Come to think of it, I didn't hear the steamer going so how long the milk that was used foe my coffee had been sitting is anyones guess.The chips came pretty quickly, they were hot but soaked in cooking oil, so not very appetising.

Really good and I have been visiting here for 11 years now.Service is excellent and for anyone who can't carry their tray to their table, then the staff are super helpful and very friendlyDietary restrictions: Main meals they have a few options like cottage pie, carvery roast, ham, egg and chips. Just make sure you mention gluten free if you have the carvery roast as the staff will then make sure to give you all the parts of the carvery roast that doesn't contain gluten.Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible with a ramp to get into the restaurant and then level access internally.It can get very busy at peak times like lunchtime for example but the staff are super helpful and very friendly

A really good variety of very good home cooked food at realistic prices. Great salads, the best stuffed baked potatoes anywhere, carvery, pastries, cakes, great tea and coffees I could go on and on. If you're hungry (even if you're not) there will be something there that will tickle your fancy. I'm not even going to talk about the fantastic breakfasts. All this and so many memories from growing up. The Clipper is to me what makes the Dolphin Centre or should I really say the Arndale Centre. It's a fantastic place, great view, lots and lots of seating just for me a very strong memory of the 1970's that's still there and only there because frankly it's so good. Love it.
