Good food slightly overdone. Quite expensive for cafe. Not the best accomodation, but adequate. Decent service, clean.

Really cosy and makes you feel like you're at home. Had a large breakfast and everything was cooked to perfection, very tasty. My favourite drink is their cappuccino, best in town in my opinion!

Unfortunately this cafe doesn't open until 9am on Saturday and I'm usually in town at 8am. Today I was in town much later so gave me a chance to vist the Riverside for the first time in over two years. Usual friendy welcome and nearly full by 9.15am. A good no nonsense breakfast followed at a very affordable price compared with many other local cafes, The specials board showed some great snacks for later in the day too. 'twas a welcome return, just a shame they didn't open earlier.

I popped here on a bike ride to try the Full English breakfast. It was quite busy inside & out this particular Tuesday morning. I had an orange juice while I waited for the breakfast to arrive. It looked very good although there were a couple of minor things I noticed on closer inspection. One of the slices of toast was barely toasted and only one of the eggs had a slightly runny yolk, the other was pretty solid. Everything else was great, especially the mushrooms. If only they done chopped tomatoes, that would make it exceptional for me. I'd still visit again though. Don't forget it's CASH ONLY, although the lovely waitress was ok for me to dash to the nearest cashpoint whilst I left my bags there.

My husband and I went for lunch here today and it was lovely! I live in Wimborne but am often too busy to go out for breakfast or lunch but I'm really pleased we made the effort on my day off. It was warm and cosy inside. The Christmas decorations were very festive. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. My husband had a small All Day Breakfast and I had a toasted Brie and Onion chutney sandwich from the specials board. We didn't wait very long and both were hot tasty and well presented. O even bought a slice of cake to take away 😋 Lisa and her staff are doing a great job here, I would definitely recommend it 😊

We came across this place whilst looking for a stop for Breakfast enroute to the West Country. It proved difficult to find - we found a sign, almost hidden behind a bush by the bridge at the entrance to the Co-Op. Maybe someone was trying to hide this gem of a place from visitors! The first good sign was that the place was packed - and in March, even the outside tables overlooking the river were full as well. Worth waiting though. We had two regular full English breakfasts and a large pot of Tea - for an amazing £12.40. And the portions were huge and very nicely cooked. If you are hungry and just fancy some good old English cooking, then I would recommend this place. I cannot talk about other meals, but for Breakfast it is unbeatable!

This is a little cafe by the River Allen in Wimborne. If you're looking for posh food coated in, "jus", please look (go!) elsewhere...! that said I wouldn't class this as a "greasy spoon cafe" it's so much better than that. I had a veggie breakfast and it was delicious and the coffee was great too - real coffee... not weak filter rubbish. Couple the great food and great service with an amazing location by the river and you have a fantastic venue to eat pre-shopping in Wimborne or as a break in the day. They are also dog friendly and provided a water bowl for our pooch. Highly recommended and I'd go back in a heartbeat.

Our first outing out for a coffee since lockdown and we couldn't have made a better choice! We moved to the area just as lockdown commenced so decided to cautiously venture out this morning to explore Wimborne. Came upon the Riverside Cafe whilst wandering up and down the various little side alleyways, and liked the look of it straight away.Only coffees this time, but a lovely peaceful place to sit and drink them outside right beside the river. Now that we have seen the menu and read some reviews, it looks like it really must be breakfast on our next visit!

The tables are very close together, not sure how the lovely friendly staff negotiated their way round them! It’s quite small, but in the spring/summer I expect it’s lovely looking over the river. It was very busy for a rainy winters day, always a good sign!

You can't fault the quality of food and prices here. Very reasonable standard English food. If there was one thing that I would change is that it's very overcrowded.

We went to Wimborne and decided to have a coffee. WE popped into the Riverside Café and what a lovely place. The staff were very friendly and knew their regulars by name. The food was fantastic. My husband decided that he could try an all day breakfast. He wanted the bacon well done so he asked the waitress for this. Well, his breakfast came and the bacon was just as he likes it and the plate was full. Toast as well. He did manage to eat it all and there was nothing left on his plate. To say he enjoyed it was an understatement. He cant remember an all day breakfast which was that good. I had a scone and jam. The scone was warm and the butter just melted on it. It was delicious.

We came across the Riverside cafe while walking into town from the car park and decided to call in when we had finished shopping rather than go to one of the mainstream cafes in the centre. So glad we did, what a great find. Obviously popular with the locals, judging by the full tables, the cafe offers great value, but superb quality, food and drink. I had a most delicious homemade Bakewell tart and a cappuccino for just £3.30 and we managed to get a table by the river. The lady who served us was really friendly too, I would definitely recommend hunting it down.

We discovered this quaint little cafe wandering the narrow streets of Wimborne, and were delighted we did. Initially we sat inside but a table became free outside and we moved. The outside tables are beside a river which makes it really relaxing with the sound of flowing water. The food is simple but delicious and not overpriced, plus the waitresses are very attentive, chatty and nicely cheeky, how refreshing.

Set alongside the river, this cafe has a wonderful setting, with pretty tables overlooking the river itself, and birds (in our case a Robin) settling feet away from us. The very pleasant staff offer a quick and efficient service, and our coffees and teas arrived promptly, quickly followed by our bacon sandwiches. Now, bacon sandwiches are a special favourite of mine, and I like them prepared in a very specific manner i.e. with burnt bacon. I know, strange. But hey, it's how I like them. The Riverside cafe make a decent fist of it - and supplied plentiful brown sauce to accompany (another important ingredient). But still not burnt enough for me. Never mind, we will happily go back again to give them a second chance.

Lovely cafe. Second visit and had a great spot outside by river. Scrambled eggs and salmon on toast and bacon, brie and cranberry baguette. Both were excellent

The soufflé and burger were fabulous but the big let down were the French fries which appeared to have been served from the bottom of the deep fat fryer, full of fat and blackened potatoes. Otherwise all was lovely.

Myself and my wife are local and dropped in yesterday for breakfast. Very nice breakfast, my wife couldn’t finish her granola so I did, which was excellent. Will go again.

We have visited the stocks many times over the past 30 years but this was the worst meal we can remember. The gammon was thin, scrappy and too salty, the chips over cooked. We were asked if we wanted both egg and pineapple and then charged £1 extra for the pineapple, which we weren't told about when placing the order. At £18.95 it was not value for money. We ordered lemon & ginger cheesecake, which was more like mousse on a biscuit base, not the consistency of cheesecake. This desert was £7.95 so you would expect better. We told the waitress,who did offer an alternative, but this was declined. She said “I’ll let them know.” . An adjustment to the bill would have been more appropriate. There is a lot of competition in this sector and regrettably the Stocks prices have edged up too much and now sit at the more expensive end of pub food options. In summary a disappointing and overpriced lunch.

We drove our Motorhome there and left it for two nights so we ate dinner the first night then came back for Sunday lunch, both of which were excellent. What a stunning location. Beautiful historic building with real character, thatched roof as you would guess but services was great and the food... well, one of the best pub experiences ever and I've eaten at a few good ones over the years. The pie was home made, gorgeous pastry etc. but the Sunday lunch was absolutely top rate. brilliant roasts, excellent tender meat, Yorkshire and braised red cabbage, tonnes of quality gravy.... all with brilliant service. Even helped out with water for the Motorhome. Will return there whenever we're in the region.
