Inn In The Park

We live local, so haven't stayed here. We used to be regulars for lunch, but it 'lapsed', for a while. Yesterday, I, with my husband, had a 'belated' birthday lunch, which was SO enjoyable. We were welcomed by very friendly staff, and the service was EXCELLENT. The food was cooked and presented = EXCELLENT. We will certainly start to use this restaurant again. One thing 'NEGATIVE' , PLEASE get someone to WEED the border by the car park, it is NOT a good 'first look'. It looks very 'forgotten'. That is the ONLY negative thing, I would say. Thank you 🙏

What a fantastic Inn, just 5 rooms of which 2 are dog friendly so make sure to book in advance. The food wasn’t just regular pub grub either and was just what was needed after a long day of travelling. The Kofta starter was really tasty and we both opted for the chicken and ham hock pie which came with a separate jug of gravy, the pasty was short (perfect in my opinion) and the chips were not of the frozen variety, also came with cabbage, parsnips and carrot all of which were prepared and cooked a little different to the norm. The staff were all super friendly and to top things off the Inn is within a short walking distance to Branksome Chime beach which was also fantastic and thankfully dog friendly. Being able to have the dog with us was great as so often we have to travel without him, the panting did go on through the entire night though. Fantastic food, perfect location and friendly staff, we will definitely return and maybe stay longer.

Great little place! Dog friendly, reasonably priced and a 5 minute walk from Branksome Chine Dene. We’ve been here two years in a row and its a gem. The rooms are variable sizes but not tiny and clean. The breakfast is good and the dinner of a night time is really good. The moules mariniere is spot on. Its almost opposite the slip road to Branksome Dene Chine which is a nice quieter beach. I think the only critisicm is that the bathrooms in the rooms are crying out for a refresh. They’re clean but really need redoing. After covid, its probably a bit hard to justify straight away though.
