Neighborhoods

There is an array of shops, banks, cafes, bars and restaurants on Winton High Street which is just a minute’s walk away at the end of Talbot Road. Shops include Lidl, Waitrose, Sainsbury’s Local, WH Smith, Boots, Wilkos, as well as lots of great charity shops. For top quality fruit and veg we recommend Roebridge Farm Shop and for good meat at a decent price try Armstrong Butcher’s (turn right onto Winton High Street). To get to the High Street turn right out of the gate, head to the end of the road and turn left.

Specialises in Thai Tapas. They offer a tasting menu where you tell them what sort of things you like and they’ll surprise with a selection of dishes. We love it. A little pricey. There is one in Boscombe and in the Triangle area of Bournemouth Town Centre. https://www.koh-thai.co.uk/ 01202 294723.
