Fifty years ago to the day The Beatles played the Winter
Gardens in Bournemouth, the town’s newest dining experience opened its doors.
The Bournemouth Rock Café is home to a unique collection of
rock and pop memorabilia associated with nearly 60 years of music history in
the town. The Beatles Room is dedicated to the many connections that link the
Fab Four to the resort, including the Winter Gardens shows on 16 November 1963
that were filmed by American TV news crews and resulted in the first footage of
The Beatles to be shown on US television – three months before the famous Ed
Sullivan Show on February 1964.
Cutting the ribbon, the Mayor of Bournemouth Cllr Dr Rodney
Cooper (pictured above with Bournemouth Rock Cafe owner Dave Robinson to the left and Nick Churchill, author of Yeah Yeah Yeah: The Beatles & Bournemouth on the right) said: “I can’t wait to come back here time and time again, there’s so
much history on show and so many fascinating stories that relate to it.”
The music-themed menu at Bournemouth Rock Café - which can be found at the Beacon Hotel on Priory Road - showcases its
specialist range of quality burgers made from locally-sourced ground beef and
fresh ingredients.
Copies of Yeah Yeah Yeah: The Beatles & Bournemouth can be ordered in time for Christmas here.
