Welcome
Big on flavour!
Fiercely independent since 2009 we cook from scratch and serve premium cocktails with bags of personality. We work with the areas best suppliers including Bournemouth's Bad Hand Coffee, Ringwood's Bake House 24, Dorset's Black Cow Cheddar and pure milk vodka and of course our fantastic New Forest butcher and Poole based fishmonger. There's beer from Brewdog and Sierra Nevada and a rather clever wine and gin list.
Starting out as Reef Encounter we have grown into James and White, same team, same food but we don't have to explain what happened to the Boscombe Surf Reef anymore!
COVID UPDATE
We are nearly back to normal! We continue to offer table service to diners and ask that those coming to the bar only do so at designated order points. Masks are now optional and there is no limit on table sizes. However, we are only currently hosting large groups in designated areas. Please note opening and service hours are subject to change at this time.

We have everything in place to make sure you can visit and the staff can work safely. We have followed the Government guidelines including the "5 Steps to Safer Working Together". We have increased the frequency of hand washing and surface cleaning, used screens or barriers where necessary, put systems in place to keep contact time short, arranged our workspaces for back to back or side to side working and we are using fixed team "bubbles" when arranging staff schedules.

Lonely Planet Review - Boscombe Spa
"Big squishy sofas, a mellow soundtrack and a sea-view terrace give this chilled-out eatery a surf-bar vibe. Brunch can be healthy (avocado, salmon and egg) or decadent (maple syrup-drenched French toast). Or opt for juicy burgers and roasted veg skewers – perhaps while sipping a cool beer, watching the waves." Lonely Planet Guide UK
