Plates and Co.

Food was exceptional and great value. Service a little slow but probably due to how busy they were. Highly recommended. Definitely be going again very soon.

Lovely food. Menu options available for all tastes including special gluten free and Vegan. Vegetarian options available as standard. Did I say food was delicious. Service as you would like it, prompt but unobtrusive. Starters included a perfectly cooked poached egg with black pudding (hers) and scorched mackerel with horseradish cream (mine). Mains chicken confit cassouletish with roasted veg (hers) and fishcake, fishy and not boring, with pickled veg (mine). Finished off with Carpaccio pineapple + (hers) and Chocolate Pie with espresso/caramel sauce (mine). Couldn't ask for a nicer lunch.

I absolutely love this place ..... the food, the presentation, the staff, the service, the building, we are regulars and there is nowhere finer in the area

Absolutely fabulous My guests were impressed The roast beef was succulent the black pudding and poached egg was amazing. Cheese board and apple crumble delicious Staff soo friendly and attentive

A little slow on service at times but it was busy and didn't spoil the evening. Food good and plenty of choice a very popular place

Food was excellent quality, in a fantastic setting, will certainly be back, only comment is that the set menu could have had a couple of more dishes to choose from

The food was good but an hour plus wait for the first course unacceptable and thirty minutes for the second. The operations need major review.

A really enjoyable evening out. Food was absolutely delicious; we had the bread and olives first, followed by the chicken and pork pâté to start. Mains was the duck breast then the chocolate tart to finish. Our third time there and certainly not or last!

Really good service. Food was perfect, staff very helpful as we had a birthday so they put a happy birthday message on the desert we ordered

This is the third visit to Plates & Co and they do not fail to excel. Weston Cottage is our b&B and we send our guests to you and they love you too. The freshly cooked food is excellent and the staff are refreshingly polite and amiable. Thank you. Adrian & Rae Thomas

The evening started out slowly, my partners Birthday treat, waiting 5 minutes for a table to be prepared although it had been booked earlier in the day. The restaurant wasn't full. f First course was fine, my main meal was not a pleasure to eat, a 1/3 of the steak being sinuous and inedible. On paying the bill I was asked, the one and only time, how the meal was. I informed the waitress of the steak, she basically shrugging her shoulders, not commenting and leaving it at that. would not rush back in a hurry.

My husband and I enjoyed the delicious freshly cooked-to-order food at Plates. You could see how much effort has gone into each dish by the Chefs on view. We will definitely for there again.

Food was amazing, beautifully presented. Attentive staff who were very accommodating when we asked if we could move table as it was too warm upstairs.Will definitely return.

Last Saturday 6 of us all enjoyed lovely meal, good friendly service in nice setting, very busy so maybe a little slow with the food but worth the wait as all hot and well cooked. We will return soon.

Very good venue (although bear in mind stairs quite steep as on 1st floor) very good sevice and very good food. I would certainly recommend this restaurant.

the food was good, service wasn't, not because they weren't trying but because they clearly hadn't been trained, also it was very hot and for some reason they didn't have the air con on

Great food great ambiance decently come back . ... ...........pudding was nice not lots on there to challenge your choice ..needs more soft drinks on menu

excellent, helpful and calm service; beautiful ambience with quiet background music and almost church-like with the gorgeous stained glass window. Food was very tasty too!!

Pleasant staff, food was good, the plates were very hot and we weren't made aware of this. Service quite slow, so if your out for a quick meal, probably not a good idea. Great surroundings, beautiful church windows

Beautiful Building, Beautiful Food, Beautiful Service, Great Value.....what more can I say? Loved it :) You won't be disappointed, try the early bird for even better value.

Have been here before and the food and service is good. Could do with serving draught beer rather than just bottles. Staff are always friendly and helpful.

A lovely place for a great meal. Food is delicious, well cooked and good sized portions. Service is attentive without being intrusive and it's great to see the chef beavering away. The whole atmosphere is superb.

Nice atmosphere, very pleasant staff with very polished glasses. We had the tasting menu which the chef took time to discuss with us and every course was delicious especially the beef. Each course was delivered personally by the chef which we also thought a nice touch. We will definitely be back.

The menu was very poor, so we left before we ordered! So disappointed as it was our 30th Anniversary and menu wasn't very good nothing that we both liked so we walked out.. Sorry.

Always lovely service, great food and beautiful ambience - never disappoints....whether it be just as a treat or a special occasion this place always delivers on every level!

great food served in stylish manner. would come again for special occasion or when offers available this was a treat for me and my son so we had a quality lunch date

We ate a la carte. Nice surroundings and nice staff. The food was good from a smallish menu. The dessert had lovely flavours but the creme bruleè was an odd consistency and the chocolate panacotta was like icecream in the middle. £70 for the two of us and we don't drink was a bit pricey though...

The venue is awesome, food was delicious and the service was friendly but we had to wait for about an hour for our main course. The waitress was aware and gave us a discount.

Great ambience. Service a little slow but pleasant as we didn't feel rushed. Enjoyed the dinner but desert was a little frozen still. But I'm being picky, we would happily go again.

Very good service, food and environment! The experience of a restaurante inside a church was very interesting! I would highly recommend to friends and family.

A very enjoyable lunch with exceptional food and excellent service. We had a delightful table and although we had to wait between courses, this was inevitable as the food was freshly cooked.

Service was very slow and the food served on cold plates. The mushroom risotto was very disappointing, lacking flavour. Great shame as whilst waiting for our meal we thought what a wonderful setting and we were anticipating many return visits.

Quirky renovation from chapel to restaurant very well done.staff excellent,food choice,presentation and taste could not be faulted,our first but not last visit will definitely return

Cannot fault the service , attention to detail ,atmosphere , excellent presentation , delicious food ever time we visit never fails . Best in Bournemouth .

The Service was good, the food was excellent, and the ambiance just lovely. Look forward to returning to this delightful restaurant. Easy to book on line as well.

Really enjoyed my visit to Plates, beautiful setting, prompt and attentive service and food and back ground music was excellent, cannot praise this establishment enough, will be returning!

The food was delicious but the service could be a bit more attentive and welcoming and we were surprised that it wasn't busier than it was as it was pay weekend.

Amazing menu and service.Our second visit and will return soon. Dining experience is so enjoyable and our choice of menu always exceptional and of high standard in both taste and presentation.

A very pleasant dining experience in every respect. The service was efficient, helpful and very willing to please. The food was excellent and well presented. Unlike some restaurants which are noisy, this one was able to absorb the usual chatter which did not intrude upon other diners. In all, a lovely evening with some guests from America who were very impressed with this restaurant as we were.

Very good service and food. Pity that the entrance stairs are so narrow and the lift is very small and temperamental. That being said our group had an enjoyable evening. .

Food was good, service good - a very good experience altogether! The church is beautifully transformed into a restaurant but for us may feel a little open and large.

Plates has a very welcoming ambience, the staff are attentive and the food is first class, beautifully presented, very tasty and for me the portions are just right, the choice is limited but very good and different!! Nothing dull, all very "new" and inventive. My friends and I enjoyed our meal immensely and will be sure to visit Plates again.

The food was great, the service was second to none. The atmosphere was lovely. The place is warm and classy looking. I will definitely be visiting again.

A really lovely meal in a unique setting. I'm not sure why we hadn't tried it sooner. The staff were lovely too. Will definitely be recommending to friends and we will be back. Thank you for a lovely evening.

The staff were lovely, food was good, presentation of food was excellent! Really lovely venue, beautifully done! Service was a little slow, but not massively! All around pretty good, id go back again!

Great place for a relaxed Sunday lunch with friends - you don't get rushed and there is time between courses. Our food was good, certainly plentiful and it arrived on hot plates (a big plus in my book). Lovely setting, and tables are well spaced out. Lovely staff, who really seem to care that you are enjoying the food. Will definitely eat here again soon.

Lovely venue / food. I really enjoyed the 3 course set menu but my friends found the food a little bland. Would definitely go back.

Excellent food and presentation - choice somewhat limited. Service pleasant and efficient. Ambience enjoyable. An experience to savour so certainly worth giving it a try.

Good food , excellent atmosphere , great value ! Will be looking to come again whilst such good offers are available. hopefully they will for the autumn !

Food was outstanding, service was great, couldn't decide on the wine so the lady behind the bar was so helpful and educational. Our main server, lady with dark hair was excellent, very attentive and again lots of good knowledge on the food. Will certainly be returning. Very impressed.
