Renoufs (Wimborne) in East Dorset

Charlie went above and beyond to serve us , we were very impressed with all the food , drink and her knowledge of the servings; we were especially impressed as she was working front of house with no additional staff to a fully booked restaurant. Thank you Charlie

Great wine and the food was excellent even catered for my wheat allergy with both bread and crackers being wheat free.Only one complaint was that although we were going to leave a tip I don't like the fact that they add it automatically should be given a choice.

Warm and welcoming, perfect place for a leisurely chat over the excellent selection of cheese and charcuterie. The flights of wine are an excellent opportunity to try something different from your normal selection as well. We will be visiting again soon.

Great evening out .. lovely place and great food (I love cheese and wine) .. the wine tasters are a brilliant idea .. if I had one quibble it was the automatic addition of a 10% "voluntary" tip on to the bill .. I would have given a tip anyway, but it should be my choice..not an included add on item onto the bill .. .. if not for that it would have been 5 stars

When we got there at 6pm, we were told it would be table service for drinks but they would be too busy to keep going backwards and forward to serve us. We were a party of 10. This was our Christmas party, so good start! The food was lovely but we were there more than 30 minutes before we were served. We were asked at about 7.45 if we were finished, we were all still picking and there was plenty of food still on the boards. We asked if they would leave them. I rounded up the money and went to pay. The 'optional gratuity' was on the bill. Renoufs, people pay a gratuity if they are happy with the service - not because you place it there. It is embarrassing to ask for it to be removed. When I returned to the table we were being rushed off the table. One of the £89.90 boards was removed whilst one of our party was still eating. Rather than a happy, relaxed reward for a hard couple of years in health care, it felt rushed and as if we had to work around what suits the staff.

We went here to celebrate a birthday. We were 3 people and got the Party board. This was plenty of food for the 3 of us. We actually could not eat it all. The price was reasonable, the presentation was really good. The service was really good as well, our waitress was very nice and helpful. The atmosphere was perfect, soft lights and wood decor. I don't really have any complaint. Also booking the table was easy and relatively fast.Well done

Another of my 'go to' places in and around Wimborne- if you like to chat and graze, love your wines and spirits and adore your meats and cheese, this is the place for you! The selection of wines is quite literally staggering and the staff are all incredibly knowledgeable about the meats, cheeses and wines. Not sure what you want to drink? Try a 'flight' - 3 sample glasses of wines (or spirits) to taste so you can better decide which you want- they also do desserts..... not that I've ever had enough room for one!

Visited in December for my Birthday. Staff were very attentive, followed all social distancing measures and informed us of everything that applied to us. Provided great info on the different cheeses available to help us choose from the many many options! Also happy to have gluten free bread options. The atmosphere was great

Prepare to be overwhelmed with choice, that's sums up my first experience of dining here. The wine list offers 200 bottles so there's something to suit all palates and wallets. If that's too much and you'd prefer to sample a few small glasses throughout the evening then flights of wine are available. The staff were very helpful.Choosing cheese and meats doesn't have to be as prescriptive as the meal board states. If you'd prefer more cheese and less meat that's ok. Plus you can add more of either if you have a larger appetite. You can have as much bread and biscuits as you want too.Flavours and presentation were both excellent.Table water is provided too to keep the body in balance for fluids.A our visit was for a Birthday and some candles were popped into the cheese, a nice touch.Will definitely be returning for our next special occasion.

Friendly staff, lovely wine and a vibrant atmosphere. We visited last thing on new year's eve - there was no reluctance to let us in for a quick bottle of wine to celebrate.Menu sounds nice too. The customised cheese and meat boards are simple yet effective as a concept.Can't wait to return when we visit Wimborne again.
