ABOUT The Curlew
The Curlew has had a long, varied and interesting history. Originally constructed back in the 1800s, it served as a farm mostly producing root vegetables. After gaining its license, the building became Mulligan's fish restaurant, a themed pub and was more recently called The Manor before settling on being named after the wading bird - the Curlew
Our beautiful surroundings provide the perfect backdrop for savouring the hearty, seasonal pub-food on our menu and the hand-picked cask ales or fine wines served at our bar.
HOW TO FIND US
You can find The Curlew just outside the town of Longham, in Parley Cross just off Christchurch Road. We’re a great spot to meet after a long day of travelling, owing to the fact we’re just 4 minutes via B3073 and Parley Ln/B3073 from Bournemouth International Airport.
