Gold Room @ Hotel Collingwood

In the heart of Bournemouth City Centre, Gold Room @ Hotel Collingwood distils Dorset onto the plate.

The team, led by an award-winning executive head chef, draws daily from the coastline, farms and fields to celebrate the county’s produce with quiet confidence and polish.

Menus wander from the sea to the soil with equal charm. A whisper of the shore arrives with tempura king prawns or a bowl of steamed mussels; sweetness meets savour in a honey roasted pear stuffed with blue cheese.

Mains keep things honest and hearty: fish of the day and crispy battered fish and chips for purists, while the grill tempts with sirloin steak and surf and turf. From the field, wild mushroom pappardelle and a beetroot tikki curry showcase depth without fuss.

The Gold Room’s mood is relaxed and welcoming, its service personable and unhurried, all within a beautiful setting. Locals and hotel guests mingle over a well-curated wine list and handcrafted cocktails, and families are thoughtfully catered for with a children’s menu shaped around fresh, simple flavours. Daily specials keep the conversation lively.

Whether plotting a leisurely supper or marking a moment in the city centre, make time for the Gold Room’s Dorset story. Book a table, bring your appetite, and let the coast, farm and field do the talking.
