It was a Sunday night just after the Bournemouth Air Festival had finished and I was starving so me and my wife popped into Frankie and Benny’s by Castle point in Bournemouth.

I really like the actual place as it has a friendly cosy feel to it and good old classics playing in the background with lots of New York memorabillia on the walls. The menu has plenty of favourites on and I would normally struggle to choose though this visit I had my heart on a Pizza as we had initially been there only to find they did not have enough staff in to actually seat people let alone cook for them!! They literally wouldn’t let people come through the door!

I ordered a Hawaian Pizza and my wife ordered the BBQ ribs which I was a little nervous about as the idea of being jelious of her food didn’t appeal (She often end up with the best meal!).  Our waiter was polite and attentive and it wasn’t long before dinner served up.

My Pizza ( a 10″) was a traditional thin based Italian stone baked Pizza with a fair amount of topping. My wife’s BBQ ribs looked gorgeous and I even managed to get a couple from her!

The food was hot and tasted lovely so no complaints there at all. I was tempted by the desert menu which included a nice bit of Cheesecake – one of their specialities aparently but didn’t quite have ebnough room for it sadly.

I shall definately be going back here sometime soon and if you want to learn more about Frankie and Benny’s or find one in your area go to: http://www.frankieandbennys.com
