La Cruz Bar and Restaurant

The aptly named La Cruz (The Cross) bar and restaurant is nestled in the heart of Ashley Cross in Lower Parkstone, between the bustling towns of Bournemouth and Poole.

It offers one of the finest wining and dining experiences in the area with a sumptuous menu that will tempt your taste buds yet with prices that will have you laughing all the way to the bank!

Featuring a brand new seasonal menu from top local chef, Tim Mann, and his second chef, Sean, la Cruz now boasts a perfectly balanced bill of fare stylishly created and served to you to order. Tim says: “We use only locally sourced ingredients which ensures that nothing is lost in terms of flavour and quality.” Whether you’re popping in for a light bite or in need of something more substantial.  ‘Tim’s Kitchen’ specials will have you coming back time and again.

Not hungry? Just fancy somewhere to chill and have a drink? Then Bar Manager, Dave and his friendly team are always on hand to serve patrons their tipple of choice. You can even try testing Dave on his rugby knowledge...you never know, you may even find a question on his favourite subject that he has to think about while you enjoy your drink or meal!

An extensive wine list, featuring La Cruz’s own wines and Champagnes brought in especially from the owners’ own label French range fully complements the menu.

The venue also offers a relaxing outside courtyard area – a great place to sit and enjoy a warming mulled wine on those crisp, clear sunny winter days.

Parking is plentiful in the main car park opposite, just a few seconds and less than a hundred metres away.
