Plates and Co.

The food and surroundings were lovely. The slow cooked beef blade the best main course I’ve had in a long time. However a side dish do not appear until half way after the main was eaten and the bill was overstated and had to be amended therefore they lost the tip.

We really enjoyed the food which was good value, tasty and expertly presented. Also we found the ambience relaxing and unusual in what was a former chapel.

Beautiful surroundings and superb food. Good range of menus for all diets. Shame the service was so slow considering there were only 8 people in the restaurant for the whole of the lunch period.

Good food and great service. Lovely table and very convenient location. Parking on the street is a real bonus. Obviously a popular choice as most tables were taken. Book early to avoid disappointment.

There is an amazing ambience at Plates and Co and the service really good. We had two courses for £15 which was a fabulous price as the food was superb!!! We will certainly be going back!

Very friendly and helpful staff. Food was very hot .tasty and very presentable. Excellent choice and value for money. Well catered for if you are gluten intolerant. Very nice interior . Have visited many times . Definitely recommend for fine dining but very reasonable price tag.

Service really good. Staff happy and welcoming.. food delicious. I would highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be going back. Very enjoyable evening. Thanks

Food was amazing but service didn't quite match. A decent vegetarian/vegan menu but the staff were not aware which of their wines were vegan and didn't seem to be interested enough to find out.

lovely setting very atmospheric, splendid food, and very attentive friendly staff, this my first visit but I imagine I will return on regular occasions, chose from the set menu and was pleased to see that this contained items from the Al La Cart all very nicely presented and very tasty

Excellent place to dine in Bournemouth. The service was brilliant and the food was quite simply gorgeous. Would definitely go back and eat there again.

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!

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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!!

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

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.
