Inspector comments
"Quintessential hospitality and service without stuffiness."
Overview
The elegant Guildhall Tavern is a stylish seafood restaurant located just two minutes from the quay in the heart of Poole old town. A compass ceiling, maps, lamps, oars and a propeller coffee table are just a few of the nautical references in the restaurant. Seafood is the speciality here with the menu changing frequently to reflect the day’s catch.
