About this Pub
Why it's great for Matchdays
In Bournemouth town centre, this large two-floor Wetherspoon opens from 8am, making it a convenient pre-match meet spot. It's close to bus routes and about 1.5km from Bournemouth station, so getting a cab or bus to the Vitality (or hopping a quick train from Bournemouth to Pokesdown) is straightforward. The pub serves food all day at value prices, helpful for early kick-offs or post-match refuelling. Visiting fans commonly use it as a neutral base in town before heading to the ground by taxi. With many handpumps and regular guest ales, larger groups can usually get served quickly.

Lovely place staff are a touch rude. Ordered an American burger with out cheese it came with cheese. When pointing it out to the staff member she promptly told me she could take it back but it wouldn’t be ideal for her and it would take over 10 minutes for a fresh one. I kept it removed the cheese 🙄 burger was greasy and under cooked, chips were cold. Wouldn’t go back for food. Would however go back for a nice place to have a drink while being able to feed and change the baby (Pic of what I couldn’t stomach)
Called in after a walk along the front. Great location and as usual for Wetherspoons fairly busy. Nice curry and found a table by the window. Some of obviously local clientele a tad noisy. Excellent service and will return on next visit. Thank you
Easy to order on the APP. Spoons just get better, excellent price and good value for a family with drinks. Service is fast and good. You know what your getting for your ££.
The place has lowered the quality of your food. I ordered some wings that did not take two minutes to arrive. had an unpleasant smell and taste. before I used to go because it is really very economical but had quality.
Visited a few days book. The pizza was good but some of the sides tasted very bland. Reasonably priced drinks and good service.
