Clipper Restaurant

Clipper at The Dolphin Poole is a real local gem. It is one of those places that earns its place in a town’s affections through nothing more complicated than consistently getting it right. It has been a firm family favourite in Poole for years. In fact, Clipper has built its reputation on friendly faces and honest food. Its menu genuinely covers the whole day. From the first coffee of the morning to a proper sit-down dinner in the evening, there is always something to enjoy.

Breakfast and morning coffee set the tone early. There is something deeply satisfying about starting the day at Clipper. Whether that means a full cooked breakfast to set you up for whatever lies ahead or something lighter alongside a good cup of coffee before the town gets busy, you will find it here. Still, the morning atmosphere here is exactly what a café morning should feel like.

Lunchtime brings home cooked meals that taste exactly as that description promises. You get real cooking and proper portions. Furthermore, the kind of food serves as a reminder that eating out does not have to mean anything complicated or clever. The carvery dinner takes things up another level. For those with time to sit down and enjoy something genuinely special towards the end of the day, it is a perfect finish.

No time to sit in? Clipper has you covered there too. A selection of freshly made sandwiches, salads, cakes and pastries are all available to take away. This gives you access to the same quality and care even when you are on the move. The cakes in particular have their own loyal following and for very good reason.

The customer service at Clipper is the kind that people mention unprompted. It is warm, attentive and genuinely friendly in a way that keeps families and regulars coming back time after time.
