Arbor Restaurant
About
Arbor Restaurant, located in the picturesque Bournemouth area, is an award‑winning 2‑Rosette dining destination that prides itself on sustainable, locally sourced produce. The kitchen, led by Chef Andy Hilton, crafts contemporary British cuisine from the best seasonal ingredients, from Dorset’s garden counties to the freshest fish from the South Coast. Guests can enjoy relaxed lunch service between 12:30 pm and 2 pm, featuring a hearty Sunday roast, or dine at the elegant dinner service that starts at 5:30 pm. The Green House bar offers a relaxed atmosphere with an extensive drink menu and daily afternoon tea served from 2 pm to 4 pm. Arbor also hosts a range of events – weddings, charity luncheons, private parties and themed evenings – all designed to be stylish, personal and memorable. The restaurant’s friendly ambience is complemented by ‘unfussy, knowledgeable service’: staff are team enthusiasts who love food and are dedicated to creating a welcoming experience for all diners. The commitment to eco‑friendly practices extends beyond the kitchen – the building incorporates sustainable materials, energy systems and even rooftop bee hives. Visitors to Arbor can expect to enjoy generous portions, thoughtful plating and a menu that constantly evolves with the seasons, while being reassured that every meal carries a clear conscience and a tasteful price point.
