Breakfast and Colouring corner for children, in Old Town, Poole

Dolphin Centre, Old Town, Poole, BH15 1SS

The Clipper Restaurant is a family run restaurant located upstairs in the Dolphin Shopping Centre, Poole, with a spacious room of over 200 seats. It opened in May 1971 as The Royal Clipper, less than two years after the then Arndale Centre, and has been part of the town for over half a century; current owners Steve and Karen bought it in the summer of 2014 and run it with their daughters Abbie and Ella. The menu is wide ranging, covering breakfasts, cakes and scones, lunch and carvery, salads and sandwiches, and the restaurant is family and pet friendly.
