Our mission at Urban Guild is to make the world a better place, one hug at a time. We are a local, independent hospitality company based in Bournemouth, UK. Our little family; Urban Beach hotel in Boscombe, The Wood Oven & Urban Reef on Boscombe beach and Jenkins & Sons restaurant at Penn Hill, Poole, make positive human connections happen. The Urban Farm out at Sopley in the New Forest supplies the freshest, seasonal produce for our restaurants. Everything we grow we use; mint for mojitos, basil for pesto, we really do pick it in the morning, prep it in the afternoon and serve it in the evening. With all of our produce, we try to buy from real people. Behind every great ingredient is a passionate person obsessing over the finest details. We get exceptionally excited about the people behind the brands, who have love and pride for what they do. If it’s seasonal, ethical and sustainable, it’s alright by us. Check out the Humans of Hospitality podcast to learn more about us and the suppliers that make our dream possible, every single day. Urban Guild was established in 2005, in Dorset.
