Another great evening

May 2024 • family

Great meal. Lucky enough to get a roast, and was very pleased. Food was very well cooked and presented. Good service. All together another great evening at The Libertine.

Amazing venue to hold a large family gathering

Apr 2024 • family

We had a Wake at "The Libertine" in Westbourne village following the funeral of our Mum in April 2024. Everyone in our party of 30 commented on how perfect the Venue was for the event, and how supportive and compassionate Chelsie and her team were throughout the afternoon and evening. The buffet they provided was absolutely delicious and plentiful. We would like to thank Richard and the whole of the "Libertine team" for helping make the celebration of our Mum's life a memorable occasion.

Apr 2024 • couples

We have never visited Bournemouth before . Unsure of where to have something to eat. We also had a very friendly well behaved dog. Our hotel had said they were dog friendly but they weren't allowed in the restaurant . All the staff at the libertine were very welcoming .nothing was too much trouble . The food was also excellent.

Popped in for dinner on Saturday night. Pub was busy but got a table in the dining area. Plenty of choice on the menu but went for the crispy chicken burger and fries. Really good choice. Crispy on the outside and perfect on the inside served with piping hot fries. Service was good as always 👍

Best roast in Bournemouth

Apr 2024 • friends

Had the best pork belly roast I've ever had! Everything was delicious, hot and brought out quickly. Brownie was also scrumptious. Kat, our server was really friendly & attentive too!

Staff still lovely but restaurant feels a bit flat

Apr 2024 • friends

Its fantastic to see Richard back at The Libertine. We have always loved coming here but with dishes not available (our table was at 18.30!) and the pizza oven no longer being used the restaurant feels a bit flat now. The staff are as super as ever and we are delighted to see Richard back at the helm. We are looking forward to seeing what changes he brings!

Hi Portia, Thanks for your feedback, it was lovely to see you again after a few years away. As discussed we are now a Young’s pub, which is a great thing for the future of the Libertine. We have a new head chef joining us in a week or so, with lots of exciting food to follow in the coming weeks & months! At Young’s our mantra is great fresh food with the best quality British ingredients, and that is why you will not see pizzas in any of our pubs. What you will see (from me and the team) is a real passion to deliver great service, with the addition of a food offer that sets us apart from our competitors. This is a work in progress, but I for one am very excited about the future here! See you soon Richard

We stopped for an Easter lunch. A very nice roast and a good choice for those not choosing roast. Service was friendly with Rory and Amber and we were well looked after. Always good in here so I would recommend

Overpriced and disappointing

Mar 2024 • friends

Service bordering on overattentive until we wanted coffee and had to ask at the bar. Sandwiches over priced for stale bread (both white and brown) Beef filling ok but in bits rather than sliced and cheese filling seemed sparing. Ladies toilet clean and pleasantly perfumed.
