Perfectly positioned, overlooking Bournemouth’s Surf Reef (due for completion by September 2009) at the edge of West Overcliff, The Chine hotel is set in three acres of secluded, mature gardens, enjoys magnificent unspoilt sea views and is within easy access of the beach and reef.

The Chine’s two restaurants, the recently refurbished Seaview and the newly created brasserie and bar, The Gallery, are set to become a feature on the local society circuit with their spectacular views, bespoke furnishings, artwork and impressive features plus innovative menus. Two stunning venues for locals and visitors alike, offering something for everyone from a mid-morning coffee, light bites, lunches, afternoon teas, cocktail hour drinks, dinners to meetings (WiFi access available). The chefs use locally sourced produce wherever possible, carefully selected cuts of meat and excellent vegetarian options.

The Seaview Restaurant’s quality of food is matched only by its fantastic views, over the treetops and out to sea. Open for both lunch and dinner, this is one of the most charming and welcoming rooms in the hotel. The Seaview’s mouth-watering menu is complemented by a superb wine list catering for every palate. The Seaview has been awarded an AA Red Rosette.

For lovers of fine food and wines, no visit to The Chine would be complete without experiencing a meal in The Gallery brasserie and bar – with its menu of diverse dishes combining both contemporary and traditional.
