It was a private function staff were amazing and so was the food. Will be going back.

Shay provided an exceptional dining experience at Renofous. His attention to detail, friendly demeanor, and efficient service truly enhanced our meal. He went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed and made excellent recommendations. Shay's professionalism and genuine hospitality made our visit truly memorable. We'll definitely be returning, thanks to Shay's outstanding service!"

This was another visit to our favourite place! Always great service from Sam and the team at Westbourne Renoufs. This occasion was for my husband BG’s Birthday with our friends Stu and Nic both cheese monsters ha ha! Seriously the wine is incredible here we love a Malbec our friends enjoyed a recommended Rose. We had the board for 6 people (greedy guts!) Pork pie, 8 meats, 12 cheeses, pate, olives, bread, crackers, stuffed peppers baked Camembert just everything The Lord Cheesus could ask for! Easy walking location for us. We killed 4 bottles of vino and had a fantastic night laughing, chatting and socialising.

Starting off with amazing food, such a great selection. A great variety of drinks on offer, puts a lot of places to shame. There is definitely something for everyone.Downside is you are packed in like a tin of sardines. You have no room between tables, and the tables themselves are not big enough to accommodate the amount of people to sit on them.

Bet too loud for me on a Saturday night but couldn’t say anything bad about the food or service staff are

We used Renoufs for private catering the night before our wedding for our family and bridal party. It was a feast fit for a king and they were so lovely - cannot recommend them highly enough for catering/functions as well as the bars themselves.

I am so torn by giving this review, as I booked the restaurant on recommendation from my partner (who is celebrating his birthday), as he had been told by work colleagues, it was such an amazing place! However, we both feel bitterly disappointed! When booking, I was asked if I was booking for a special event. I was it was my partners birthday, however, there was not so much as a mention of this on arrival, and on turning up, I actually felt like I wanted to turn around and walk straight back out the door. We were taken to our table, which, incidentally, was very noisy due to the very large party behind us, however, that was no fault of the restaurant, so that really should not form part of my judgement, and it doesn’t! Although I would have expected the staff in the restaurant to comment to the party of nine, that some of the foul language was inappropriate at the volume for the oval ambience of the restaurant! I’ll start with the ambience of the restaurant, the lighting was extremely poor, meaning it was very hard to read the menus. Especially as the lights that we were sat under were blue, and the writing on the menu was gold print on a black background for some of it, i.e. the wine list! Thank goodness for the mobile phone torch. The waiter graciously offered to help with the order, that was very well received, and thank you. However, thereafter there was not much Service. When our food arrived, Which took some time, and considering none of it was cooked, it was a very long wait. Most of the produce on the platter was fantastic, although I would say the “smoked” cheese had absolutely no flavour, and if I’m honest, I thought it was the end of the pack and was actually ready for the bin. As I said above, the service after the initial ordering of the food was an abysmal . Whilst the staff were very attentive to their duties behind the bar, such as cleaning glasses and wrapping cutlery in napkins, at no point throughout the duration of the food, did anybody check to see if we were satisfied with what we had, or even offer us a further drink. It was only when we managed to attract the attention of a member of the team, whilst he was walking past, serving someone else did we manage to successfully order a further drink. what a wasted sales opportunity. We would, however, add, that the “flights” of wine are a brilliant idea. When asked at the end of the meal, when we were paying the bill if everything was okay, I did remark that the food was amazing, you should note if you remember us, at no point did I ever reference any member of staff, as their service was somewhat missing. I don’t think I would like to come back here, and I will certainly be sharing my unsatisfactory experiences with many people, which I’ve already started to do via various social media forums. Our experience at your restaurant, for what should’ve been a magical event was little more than a damp night out.

Great looking place, loads of good cheese and meat platter options available. Plenty of good wine and drinks options too. Well worth a visit with friends or family, recommended.
Amazing place, I always enjoy myself here. It is a great to meet up with friends, eat, drink, and chill.

Renoufs is one of the best places to go in the area. Great concept. Always enjoyable. You have to love bread, wine, meat and cheese but most people do. I would say that the portion sizes on most counts have got smaller. Meat and cheese especially. For me the wine choices were not as good as before that could be just a personal thing. However, I would always go back.

Excellent wine bar - great food (we had a cheese & charcuterie sharing board) & a huge selection of wines. Knowledgeable & friendly staff.

Tried to make a reservation a few days before Saturday night only to be disappointed. Popped in for a glass of wine early on Saturday evening before they got busy…. Really lovely little wine bar… so we will definitely be booking (much earlier) next time we are around. Their Cheese shop across the road in the Arcade looks amazing… Oh and the sharing boards looked absolutely fantastic…
