About Us

The Restaurant

Nestled along the tranquil banks of the river; our restaurant at River's Edge is a culinary gem crafted with meticulous attention to detail. Designed and built by the renowned Wyatt Homes, our space reflects the finest craftsmanship, from the carefully selected materials, to the subtle, elegant finishes.

At River's Edge Bistro, we offer not just a meal, but a memorable dining experience that celebrates both flavour and ambiance.

Our Kitchen

After honing his craft in many distinguished establishments, including Number 9 Restaurant in Wimborne and the Royal Motor Yacht Club in Sandbanks, our Head Chef brings a wealth of experience and creativity to The River's Edge. With a passion for crafting delicious, flavoursome dishes, the team expertly blend produce from our own allotment with the finest local ingredients sourced from Dorset.

 

Additionally, we are committed to nurturing the next generation of chefs by welcoming young chef apprentices, ensuring a vibrant and innovative culinary future.

Our Allotment

Welcome to our allotment journey! Since the onset of the COVID pandemic in 2019, we decided to cultivate our own patch of green. With the help of our good friends Pete & Rod, it has blossomed into something truly special. Over the years, we've established well-maintained beds, a large polytunnel, fruit cage, and a small selection of fruit trees and we’re always on the lookout for exciting new ways to make the most of our harvest!
