Champagne

Champagne is the wine of celebration, commiseration, racecourse success, christenings, wedding & seductions, making the perfect aperitif or after-dinner refresher. There are many Champagne Houses, all making wine in their own style. Most Champagne can be a blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay & Pinot Meunier, there are exceptions, when made only from Chardonnay the Champagne will be listed as ‘Blanc de Blanc’. Rosé has become very fashionable in recent years, it’s lovely salmon pink colour will enhance any party or celebration.

The Garden Room at The Priory

The Garden Room at Priory Wareham brings the outside in, come rain or shine you will dine with views over our lawn and down to the river. With ceiling-height windows that open fully, green oak beams, and luxury Mulberry Home interiors, we hope to bring you one of Dorset’s most memorable and unique dining experiences.

Head Chef Stephan Guinebault’s ethos lies at the heart of all he does. When Stephan joined Priory Wareham in 2006, he brought a wealth of knowledge and experience, which all stemmed from growing up on his grandmother’s (grand-maman) farm in the Loire Valley, and her cooking. Motivated by his love of (her) food, he started work as an apprentice chef while simultaneously attending catering college. He progressed through Michelin and Relais & Chateaux establishments in France, gaining invaluable classical training and an understanding of regional dishes and techniques. Today, Stephan’s passion for food is as evident as ever. He thrives on using fine, locally sourced, seasonal produce, with a guaranteed provenance. 

Please mention any dietary requirements, allergies, or intolerances when booking. Our food is a huge part of our experience and given the style and nature of our cuisine, we do not offer a vegan menu, more than happy to discuss dishes on our menu and how these can be adapted for your visit.

Please kindly note that a booking is only confirmed once a deposit of £10 per person has been received (refundable if cancellation is made 3 days or more before the date of your reservation). 

Children over the age of eight are very welcome in our dining room. Younger children when part of a private party using our private dining room or exclusive use of the hotel are most welcome. This includes babes in arms.

The Garden Room Restaurant is smart casual. Smart jeans are suitable; men often wear a jacket in the evening. During the summer months, at lunch, it would be acceptable for men to wear tailored shorts with a shirt. We politely request no trainers or flip-flops, please. Many people choose The Garden Room at Priory Wareham to celebrate special occasions, we operate a dress code to ensure the atmosphere of our dining room reflects that.
