Contemporary Pub Restaurant - Heart of Parkstone
The Grasshopper was one of Hall & Woodhouse’s earliest pubs joining the family back in the 19th century. Originally called ‘The Half Way House Hotel’ because it was halfway between Poole and Bournemouth, its name changed in 1997. In 2018 the Grasshopper was fully transformed into a fantastic contemporary venue serving great food and drink in spectacular surroundings; one of the very best in the Poole area.
