OK my next weekend destination is Poole in a few weeks time.
Arrive on a Saturday morning and leave Sunday evening. Anything special to do and see there? As usual need a suggestion for a good place to meet up with a group of people - a place that does good (but affordable) food and drinks.
And other random kinda things to see and do.

if you do there is Brownsea island in the harbour, worth a trip. Within 1/2 hr drive there is Bovington Tank museum/Monkey World.
As for food - There is the Slug and Letuce (good for meeting people) on the old high street, with a resturant called Alcatraz opposite (food and drink reasonable), there is also Ma and Pa's italian further up the high street nearer town and several of the pubs on the quay do good grub and normally have live bands on a sat night, avoid the mansion house tho - uber posh and v.expensive.
it all depends on where you are staying really.
You're better off just going to Bournemouth though - 5 mins down the road.
I used to work in Parkstone. It's the bit inbetween Bournemouth and Poole. You're better off venturing into Bournmouth for a nice meal and a few drinks. You might find a nice place in Westbourne though.
Canford Cliffs has a few nice resturants but they're going to be really expensive. Canford Clifffs and Sandbanks is where all the super rich live.
A taxi to Bournemouth or Poole would cost you a fiver or so, a bus would be even less. You got the beach, good food and good places to drink.
If you want to walk I suppose Westbourne is your best bet.
