A balmy location, close to the seafront in Poole's well-heeled suburb of Canford Cliffs, makes The Cliff an obvious magnet for a leisurely dinner or leisurely Sunday afternoon lunch. Located on Ravine Road, this excellent pub offers modern British food with a Mediterranean touch. A carefully compiled wine list as well as a selection of cask ales, draught and bottled beers complement the food perfectly.

Close to Poole city centre and only a short drive from the resort town of Bournemouth, The Cliff's pleasant spacious interiors are dotted with comfortable banquettes and chairs where guests can relax and unwind at leisure. A large wall to wall picture brings a whiff of the sea indoors. Outside seating on the patio allows you to catch the sun's rays, when it's shining, and the smart bar, with beautiful light wood panelling and chic metal lights, invites you to linger into the evening.
 
The attention to detail extends to the high quality seasonally changing menu which offers customers a wide range of dishes from delicious British classics to pizzas and pastas, all made with the finest fresh ingredients including locally sourced fish and seafood. Try starters of smoked salmon with citrus ponzo dressing, Moroccan lamb koftas with fattoush salad and potato hash with poached egg and hollandaise sauce whet the appetite. Sharing plates of antipasti with dolcelatte, Italian meats, marinated vegetables and warm stone-baked flatbreads are perfect if you are with family and friends.
 
Each day is different at The Cliff. Steak and Wine Supper Wednesdays offer superb steaks with a bottle of red wine at half the price. Seafood lovers can look forward to battered haddock with chips, tartare sauce and minted mushy peas; sea bass fillets with sweet potato, spinach curry and tzatziki and much more, especially on Fish Fridays when the chef dishes out his specials and a bottle of white wine comes at a generous 50% discount.
 
On Sundays enjoy a traditional meal with a variety of roast with all the trimmings. For a quick lunch, the prix fixe menu offers quiet satisfaction while the Supper Club menu is more celebratory with a two-course meal accompanied by a bottle of the renowned Rothschild champagne, starting at £40.
 
The dessert selection matches the rest of the à la carte with its delectable temptations. Round off with apple and blackcurrant crumble with vanilla custard, sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream, a choux bun with fresh cream, espresso and chocolate sauce or white chocolate crème brûlée. If you prefer a cheese plate, it comes with flavourful Colliers Cheddar, camembert and gorgonzola.
 
An extensive selection of aperitifs, digestifs, beers, wines, soft drinks and hot drinks quenches the thirst. This includes Lillet Rouge, a splendid mix of summer berries and white wine; Tommy's Margarita, a delicious treat of Don Alvaro Organic Tequila with agave syrup and fresh lime and Frisky Bison, made with organic Zubrowka Bison Grass vodka and Appletiser.
