Excellent place, very cozy for wine lovers and many styles of very divine and interesting sausages.
Been twice to the Southbourne branch - the first time I went with a friend and we had an amazing experience, the gentleman who I believe runs the restaurant served us and was really knowledgeable. He gave recommendations, was friendly and very calm throughout (as I believe he was the only one working). Real shame as the second time I went, was as a recommendation to my fiancé - food was delicious as per usual and presented beautifully. The lady who served us was lovely but she wasn’t very knowledgeable of the menu so when asking for recommendations we didn’t get much from her, which is a shame as it’s all part of the experience having someone talk you through the menu. We then ended up having recommendations which weren’t anything special..
This was not just a drink it was an experience. The flights of wine are very reasonably priced, the staff are very knowledgeable and friendly and the atmosphere is amazing. I am not a big drinker but enjoyed sampling the wine here!
We ate before coming here so sadly didn't try the cheese but if I'm back any time soon I will go back.
Excellent service, food was lovely, if you like cheese this is the place to go 😋

Our first visit to Renoufs in Southbourne although we have previously been to the branch in Lyndhurst. We were a group of 5 and chose the party board for four with added extras of a baked Camembert and pork pie. With 200 wines available the best way to try a selection is to choose a flight. Knowledgable staff and delicious platter. Given 4/5 as it was very quiet on the day we went so lacked a bit of atmosphere.
A beautiful restaurant with amazing food. The staff were really friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. As a vegan dining here for the first time I wasn’t sure what to expect, but my vegan platter was EPIC! The mushroom pate was sooooo good. The wines we chose from their extensive menu were delicious. We will be back!
Really friendly and a great choice of wine and cheese. No trouble to explain our choices which were all excellent. Definitely worth a visit
Had a great night on Friday with my partner.
Although there were a couple of mix-ups with the order, the girl (who was working at the bar) helped sort it out straight away and was attentive, and happy, as well as the manager.
The only feedback I would give to help is the younger chap could do with a bit more training on the floor and welcoming guests as he initially turned away us and another couple. We then went away and booked and came back pretty much within 10 minutes, but there were seats available for the other couple so he turned away customers unnecessarily.
Other than this it was a fab night!
Had to book inadvance and could see why once arrived. Great atmosphere, beautifully decked out, food on the sharing boards was to die for, sets of wine tasted like nectar, staff friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Could not fault anything, but if I lived closer I'd be 2 sizes bigger for sure! This has to be top of your list to visit - if you like cheese and wine.
The food here follows a simplistic theme (cheese and meats) but is superb and great value. The atmosphere here was lively and friendly, and the staff were simply amazing. Would recommend coming here to anyone, in fact it's a must visit!!
Great restaurant with a fabulous choice of cheese. Staff are experts at helping chose if unsure. Love the wine flight selections too!

Wonderful evening!
Thank you to the team at Renoufs Southbourne. We had a lovely evening with some fantastic cheese and wine! We ordered the £39.95 sharing board which came with a choice of 3 meats and 3 cheeses, pate, bread and pickles. We added a baked camembert, hot chorizo and one extra cheese. Probably a mistake on our part as we had to leave some as there was so much!
The cheeses were lovely, in particular the Red Devil chilli cheese was gorgeous. The meats were great, especially the venison salami.
Special shout out to James, the manager and sommelier, who suggested the orange wine, Martin Codax. It was really quite special. Thank you!
We should also mention Imogen, who took our order and was very polite, professional and friendly. We ordered gluten free bread, but we didn't make it clear it was for the both of us (our fault), so when 2 baskets came out, one gluten and one gluten free, they changed the gluten one without quibble.
Lovely ambience, fantastic staff and some of the nicest cheeses we have had. Also, very reasonably priced.
Thanks guys, and see you again soon!
A great place if you love many different cheeses in a very social setting. Excellent selection of wines and beers. Recommended.

Absolutely brilliant, excellent selection of cheese and meats can't wait to go back for more wine 💋
Superb evening out with my wife as recommended by a local. The flight wines were a great way to experience different wines. A great choice of cheeses which paired nicely with the wine. If you’re a fan of wine and cheeses this place is an absolute must.
Excellent cheese and wine bar, very loud and boisterous on a Saturday night, great wine choice, amazing cheeses on offer, superb service
A lot of choice and interesting cheeses and meats. Good range of wine, would be nice to have a few more available by the glass
My friend and I had the most wonderful meal here on Saturday night. Our waiter was called James and he made the experience truly worthy of a 5 star review.
Our foor was more than enough for two people, tasted amazing and incredible value for money ( we went for James recommendation)
The atmosphere was beautiful and fun, the wines were great and we will be coming again
Very nice cheese and wine bar. Extensive wine list. Fine cheeses and meats. Really good quality. The staff make you really welcome and help you through the menu.
