"I had not visited Roxy's Bistro since the Covid-19 lockdown. I went with a lifelong friend on a whim around midday with the intention of having a drink. We were excited to see Roxy and she visited our table and offered us the menu. We ordered drinks and the menu sparked our appetite. We ended up selecting items for a hearty late English breakfast which was always delicious and filling without being greasy. The locally produced sausages were particularly tasty. My friend noticed Roxy coming out of the kitchen with a plate of fish and chips, which he decided to try since it was priced at £8, similar to the breakfast items he had ordered. We placed our order for fish and chips as Roxy returned with our drinks. The fish and chips came out in a separate batch. My friend was not exaggerating about the size of the fish. The golden battered fish stretched practically the length of the plate and was thicker than anything I had seen from a fish and chip shop. It was served on a bed of homemade chips with a side of mushy peas and tartar sauce. The taste matched the presentation and we left feeling very satisfied. I highly recommend Roxy's for their high standards of quality meals, competitive prices, impeccable service, and 5-star hygiene rating. I am strongly considering renting Roxy's Bistro for a private birthday party to celebrate my retirement, and I am leaning towards having a buffet so that my friends can mingle and socialize. It would be a great experience to be served by the owner herself."

"AVOID!!! Myself and my family decided to come and eat at KORI Bournemouth as it’s a fairly new restaurant. Also we are trying to support new and small businesses. HOWEVER we had an awful experience. I was with my husband and my 5 year old non verbal autistic son, my little boy was a little unsettled and upset. I tried to calm him down. We placed a large order of food and drinks, ranging from starters and mains. Once all our food arrived we were asked to leave the restaurant. The owner said my sons behaviour was stopping new customers from coming in as well as disturbing customers in his restaurant. HOWEVER it was on my family plus 1 single guy in the whole restaurant. The whole time we were there no one came to the restaurant. I agreed to leave and asked for the bill. I also explained my son is autistic and the restaurant was empty which was a reflection on his business not my sons behaviour. Also to add I found hair in my rice, I politely moved it to one side and did not say anything as I’m not the type to make big things out of something small or upset people, now thinking about it maybe I should of questioned the hygiene part of his restaurant. I hardly touched my food as we were asked to leave and it completely affected my appetite. I completely understand that sometimes kids crying can be a little distracting or annoying HOWEVER at the time we were at the restaurant it was only my family and 1 other person. It’s hard enough being a parent to an autistic child, I was really upset and we felt discriminated. This place is unhygienic and has awful customer service . For these reasons being and my overall experience, I now understand why the restaurant was empty."
