Riverside at The Coventry Arms in East Dorset

The Tea Room & Garden at the Museum of East Dorset (MED) in Wimborne Minster is a beautiful spot for light refreshments - both hot and cold. The Tea Room is connected to the beautiful garden of the museum and, thus, victors can, in the warm weather, be seated in the outside patio area to enjoy their drinks and snacks whilst experiencing the aesthetically glorious garden. The MED Tea Room also has a light inside dining area which has lovely views across the garden due to the big windows. The staff is comprised of volunteers who are friendly and welcoming; refreshments are ordered at the café and served to your table. The Tea Room and toilets are very clean and the menu includes a very reasonable charge for food and drink. The Tea Room and garden are accessible for all visitors and there is a disabled bathroom. The walled garden is a location for everyone (of all abilities and ages) to enjoy, play, relax and explore.

Mediterranean omelette was really good. Plus all inclusive breakfast. Second visit, both times excellent. Lovely staff

A lunch with a friend in Wimborne and Cloisters is always our first choice. I use a wheelchair and quickly on approaching the staff spotted me and access was no problem. You do have to book I was chuffed when the soup was Celeriac soup and the flavour was perfect with some crusty brown bread.

Loved the decor, felt old but well kept and quirky. Good ale selection, lovely staff and good value food.

Such a great place, well worth the visit
