Renoufs (wimborne) - East Dorset

Dined here before a show at the Tivoli. Very enjoyable experience choosing cheeses and meats for our very generous sharing platter. Wine was good too and very reasonably priced. Nice ambiance and pleasant efficient staff.

Absolutely great. Went yesterday on my birthday and discovered it was way more than a cheese and wine bar. The platter was huge for four and so much variety. Lovely fresh bread, huge olives and cheeses I’d never heard of, plus loads of different meats too. My maiden name is Renouf which made it especially enjoyable. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Excellent range of antipasto, cheese and particularly good hot chorizo.

A most enjoyable experience Never been before but definitely on the list to revisit. It looks deceptive. From the outside it looks small but it goes back quite a way inside. Friendly greeting on arrival. The young lad who looked after us and giving guidance on what we could choose was great for us novices. There were 8 of us and we felt the 6 selection we chose was enough but topped off with a little bread. A comment from one or two in the group was as we were a table of 8. The platter board could have been in two. As they could not reach all the way down the table and reliant on others passing down to them Also, an option go have a bottle of wine with the platter included in the price? Possibly cushions for the high seats too. But overall Great

The thing with a place that just serves food on a big board is the ingredient standard and presentation has to be spot on... and here it really is. Great variety of meat and cheese, lovely wine, good accompaniments. All obviously not bought to a price. Couple of notes for first-timers like me. Not complaints, just notes: 1. If you order a board (pic below is the 4 person) you get a lot of meat and cheese and not much bread, olives etc. If we go again (we will) we'll order a smaller board and more side dishes, especially bread. 2. When booking, you get a choice between high and low tables. High is like sitting at a bar on a stool, low normal table. Whatever floats your boat. So in summary: I loved it and will return, and I think with experience will get more out of it.
