AA Gill visits West Beach Restaurant at Bournemouth seafront

He has a few things to say about Bournemouth including a new strap-line for us:
"The town’s tourist poster should say, “Bournemouth: Have Everyone” in a dozen languages."
he goes on to say " There’s a pier you can walk on without wearing a hard hat" (lucky he didn't go to Boscombe!)
then:"Bournemouth has escaped the miserable fate of refugee-and-benefit dereliction that afflicts so much of the coast." (closer to the bone..) Then :"It’s still the real thing, unencumbered by taste or style and inverted commas; uncool in a sexy, hairy, sticky, cool way." (Aww thats nice!)

He goes on to give West beach a good review, sounds nice I might get beyond looking at the menu one day.
