The Lord Nelson, Poole

Went here on Sunday April 10. It was a beautiful sunny day so we sat outside, which was great. It is a real bikers pub with heavy metal music inside. We had lunch, which was reasonably priced and good pub fayre. The beer was good (Tanglefoot). I'm not so sure I would have enjoyed it as much sat inside.

The New Inn, Salisbury

Called her for lunch on April 8th. Pub has a lovely beer garden (the weather was superb) and a good selection of 3 ales, and it allows dogs in the garden (you have to walk through the pub). The food was expensive but satisfactory (no more). We found the staff in the pub ok, but the woman serving the garden area had a real 'attitude' on her. We wouldn't return to this pub because of her. Shame as the pub itself is lovely.

The Haven House, Christchurch

Was visiting the area 8-12 April, and was in Mudeford on the 11 April. I disagree with the previous person's comments. This is a crackin pub - superb location, great beer, nice food, they allow dogs in, and inside was not dingy - it was a traditional cosy pub to me. Yes, the food is a little pricey, but if you accept that it is pub fayre in a prime location, then it's fine. I wouldn't fancy it on a busy summer's weekend though - it must be mobbed. Perhaps it's odd to comment on this, but the loos were recently refurbished and were very clean - usually a good omen for any pub.We loved the pub and would go back again. I guess we all have different tastes and expectations.
