I went here for a friends birthday last year. it's not somewhere I would usually choose to go, as it's a bit pricey, but it was nice to experience it. The drinks were what I would call 'London prices' but the atmosphere of the place made up for that. Lovely area, and it interesting to play spot the millionaire if nothing else.

Lovely food

Sunday roasts are great, the three course meal and meat is outstanding. Slightly highly priced though however the setting you are dining in its worth the money!

Expensive but good

Boy this place is pricey. Only come here if someone else is paying the bill, but (if they are) it's worth it for great views everywhere, a proper upmarket atmosphere, a really nice interior and great service.

Incredible if you have won the lottery!

I am exaggerating slightly in my title but to feed 3 people, assuming you have 3 course meals and soft drinks, it costs just over £100. However for those who live in the area know this is the price one should expect.

Parking in Sandbanks during the summer months is almost impossible especially during the weekends. Parking off the peninsula then walking for 10-15 minutes to the cafe is often the best solution, although coming before June or after August is a better solution.

The Cafe Shore has two sections, A Pub type of cafe, which serves drinks and light refreshments and the restaurant, which serves full blown banquets! The restaurant is quite posh and does not allow any beach wear. Smart/casual will be fine. I suggest that you book ahead, especially in the summer months and on the weekend.

I have not had the experience of the pub but I would not suggest it for eating or heavy drinking purposes. It seems as an area to congregate prior to eating in the restaurant more than anything else.

The menu in the restaurant serves mostly fish and some meat with a few vegetarian dishes. I would suggest a dish but it seems that the menu changes depending on what the fishermen haul in. However the roast lamb is very nice for those who are not so keen on fish. The food is incredible, it is served very eloquently and the quality is superb. If you wish to have oysters or other such shellfish you must give them 24hrs notice.

For the pudding I recommend the cheeses or, to be honest, any of their desserts are delicious! If you choose the cheeses I suggest that you be adventurous as you will not forgive yourself if you do not.
