Loch & Quay, Christchurch, Dorset

Loch & Quay is a few minutes walk from our Christchurch properties, Quay House and Quay Corner and opposite James and White where we have also negotiated a discount for our guests.

The large dining kitchen at Quay House with the table laid for guests

 The Mandarin – 194-198 Old Christchurch Road,Bournemouth BH1 1PD

Whether you’re ready for a slap-up meal and a real eating occasion or you want a quick bite before or after a show, a Chinese will always deliciously fit the bill. The Mandarin on Old Christchurch Road has been doing this since 1969 and is synonymous with Chinese dining in town. Great for Quay House and Quay Corner guests which is only a 20 minute drive.

The menu reflects the individual aspects of Canton, Peking and Szechuan cooking – the sweet and sour flavours of Peking (Beijing), the hot, piquant flavours from Szechuan and the more mainstream Cantonese cuisine.

Offer is 10% Off Food & Drink Bill on production  of a Short Stay Homes leaflet.

Article in Sainsburys magazine promoting Quay House

Sainsbury’s recommendations when staying at Quay House

We would love your suggestions and recommendations of eateries you have been to on your holidays with us so we can share them with other guests, Sainsbury’s stayed in Quay House and did just that in this recent article in their in-house magazine. Follow in their footsteps and try out some ‘Dorset oysters served with shallot vinaigrette’ or the ‘higly recommended Alex Aitken twice-baked cheese souffle’ all within the vicinity of our Christchurch properties. Sounds too good to miss.
