On our first visit to Renoufs a few months back was a rather overwhelming experience. This time (8.8.25) we had a better idea of how it works and what to order, particularly thanks to Douglas, whose unhurried and gentle manner helped us no end in choosing the perfect platter for two.
In a nutshell, Renoufs is a wonderful dining experience, and of good value - if one does not over-order. And the staff (Douglas in particular), are outstanding in their professionalism, and in the way they offer unhurried help to those like my wife and me who are keen to take the plunge in to a new (for us) dining experience!

Overpriced rip off. Poor service, really disappointing. We wont be rushing back! I don't think they had ebough staff for the amount of people in there. We had a board for 6. Small portions of cheese possibly enough for 1 olive each a few grapes, no more then 2 crackers a dry thick cut bread to dip into lukewarm camembert! Staff unattentive, we had to go up twice to ask for drinks and where our food was after waiting over 30 minutes. They never asked if everything was ok or checked on us. Shockingly overrated and overpriced.

Superb quality everything. Just wonderful. Insane wine list, relaxed atmosphere. A little oasis in an increasingly busy town.

Had a really pleasant evening.
Food was lovely and the wine very good.
Disappointing that we were overcharged for the wine, and nothing done about it!

We came on Saturday night and place was very busy, the food and wine were excellent and so was the service from certain members of the team, hence the 4* not 5*. The only down side is the high top tables at the back are to close together, we could hardly move without someone from the neighbouring tables elbowing or trying to squeeze out

First time at Renoufs Wimborne, had a fabulous time meeting up friends. Staff extremely friendly and helpful, food and wine delicious, great atmosphere. Had a great time and would come back again.

Good service and the food is great but can't help but feel like it's a bit overpriced and the portions felt off... Not sure I'll be back soon but I think it's still worth trying.

1 guy on his own. When we arrived it took 5 minutes for him to arrive at the bar. He pointed a table out for us to sit at. Waited 10 minutes, after which he came over with wine menu, and promptly left (we knew what we wanted, why didn't he just ask?). No food menu was given so we got it ourselves. Waited another 10 minutes, no sign of him so we left

Think the food suits a lunch time , but not an evening meal, the staff were very friendly, it's expensive for the food you get

Enjoyed some very nice wines and was amazingly treated with first aid after stupidly banging my elbow on the way out. Many thanks.

Great food, service and thoughtful staff - I had left my sunglasses and their team member chased us down the road with them. Thanks again for that :)

We came here for an evening meal out and it was lovely. This was mostly because of the very friendly attentive manager who created a lovely atmosphere for us. (We didn't catch her name but we went Wednesday 15th May evening). We unfortunately had to be moved from our table due to other customers (not Renoufs fault) and the manager gave us a free flight of port as an apology which was so lovely! The food was exceptional. We chose recommended cheese which were delicious and the meats were full of flavour. Very nice cosy atmosphere with no feeling of time pressure or anything else. Definitely will be back :)

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.Parking: Easy to park in main car park and walk to restaurant.
