Not many people would think of opening a new restaurant in the midst of a pandemic, but for the Ward Giles family the lockdown presented an unmissable opportunity to do something together.
The result of months of behind the scenes work is Nine Restaurant and Bar – a chic venue offering a unique style and class of food for the local area, combining classic French inspiration with modern English techniques, flavour and texture combinations.
SEE MENUS
Nine Restaurant and Bar offers delicious barista-made coffee (roasted by Bad Hand Coffee Roasters) and a whole array of soft drinks, as well as a carefully chosen range of wines selected to complement diners’ meals.
There’s also a carefully curated list of spirits and cocktails, as well as bottled beers from Dorset’s Piddle Brewery which should collectively quench the thirst of diners and drinkers alike.

We were invited to NINE with friends for dinner on Thursday, and it was an absolute culinary delight!
The staff were polite, knowledgeable and friendly, all service with a smile. The artistry of the facilities also provided a great source of conversation! What a beautiful restaurant, the food and decor. Will highly recommend to any and all, and, I'm looking forward to booking and going again. Excellent!

Slowly eating my way through the menu at the lovely new restaurant. With signature dishes like the Dorset Jugger pie (beef, pork force meat and Blue Vinny), duck bacon and a crispy poached egg with confit tomato and mushroom ketchup, and a lovely soft-centred scotch egg on pea purée, Nine offers unfussy but technically excellent, beautifully thought out and wonderfully tasty food. Delicious puddings and very smooth coffee too.

Popped in for lunch and was so good we popped back for dinner a few days later! Staff friendly and helpful, food amazing. I had the Scotch Egg with pea puree and my husband the Cauliflower Steak for lunch, which I then had for dinner and my husband had the Butter Poached Chicken. Starters were absolutely amazing (Smoked Duck Bacon and Crisp Poached Egg) we wanted more and the desserts too! Can't wait to go back.
