The Pickled Berry

Oysters for starters were big and meaty, very nice and fresh. The beef fillet was perfectly cooked, melt in the mouth and the dauphinoise potatoes were soft and buttery with hints of garlic. The burger was huge! chilli jam was really good, could easily have more. Would recommend as a great meal out in Poole old town.

We had a wonderful meal at the pickled berry. The chicken Caesar croquettes were so delicious!!! And the lamb was very tasty and tender. We enjoyed the pink rose and a Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc which were both very nice. Lovely setting and great service. Will definitely be coming back again! They also do afternoon tea or cream tea which I look forward to coming in for also.

I just love this place. Really good menu. Delicious sandwiches and cakes plus classic french mains. Lunch is especially good value. The fresh crab sandwich with a touch of dill is the stuff of dreams. Went for afternoon tea and got homemade mini quiches and sausage rolls with the crispest buttery pastry. Service is fantastic. They are such nice people. Not enough of them though as it's becoming a super popular place. Beautiful decor inside. On the prettiest bit of the quay.

Wow, what a lovely chilled place!! Came for lunch with my mum here today, amazing service and friendliness. It was quiet as we had arrived just as they had opened. We had a couple of sandwiches and tea for two! The sandwiches were of a very generous size all very fresh and tasty with a side salad. Teapot was huge. The inside decor was of amazing taste and looks stunning. Don't come to Poole Quay very often but would definitely recommend here and will come again in the future. Thanks for your wonderful service today guys. I took a couple of pictures, hope you like them!

I recently engaged the services of Terry for our dental surgery, and I'm highly impressed with the exceptional job he did. His expertise in lighting was evident throughout the project. Terry is very meticulous. He ensures every step, from the initial assessment to the final installation, was executed with precision. The result not only met functional needs but also transformed our workspace into a cleaner and more organized environment with clutter free wiring. The chosen lighting was a highlight. He has excellent knowledge of lighting system which significantly enhanced the overall work area, and has created a more pleasant and efficient environment. In addition to his technical skills, he is very professional, ensuring effective communication and a clean work area. I highly recommend his services for top-notch electrical work.

Having never needed an electrician in Dorset before, Terry was the first and only contact I needed to make. He completed a thorough survey of the work required and subsequently provided a quote which I was more than happy with. I did not feel I had to look elsewhere. The work was carried out to my complete satisfaction in a very tidy manner. I would have no hesitation in recommending and using his services again.

Terry did some work for us at our holiday cottage. We found him to be very accommodating and trustworthy, which was essential as he needed to be in the house alone. He also identified a fault on the electrical circuit he was originally working on and after being told that to find the fault could take anything from an hour to a day to find, we were worried about the bill we could potentially receive. The bill was very reasonable and this was another demonstration of how fair and trustworthy he is. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to others.

Terry recently undertook the task of bringing power from our house to our external office/work space. He also wired it along with the installation of led ceiling lights and a number of sockets and switches. He also installed the associated earthing rods. In addition we asked for some help with regard to wiring our internet from the house to the new space. Terry was happy to carry out the additional work. At all times Terry was communicative, tidy and professional in the work he’s carried out for us. We were very happy with the service provided. Would use again and would happily recommend to others.

Had a nice egg baguette and a coffee. Unfortunately a seagull got half of it! A warning would have been nice, but the gull enjoyed it eating it in front of me.

A food stall at the end of the beach, about a 5min walk. Outdoor seating but sometimes not enough as it gets busy, beware of the gulls!! A great view out over the beach & water. We had a bit of wait because they were flat out. It provides breakfasts up to 11am but you can still buy baguettes. Usual hot n cold drink, & other food, not cheap but you’re paying for the location.

Highly recommend! Wide variety of burgers, seafood, and bites, as well as beers and local ciders available. Beware their hot food service ends at 3pm but if you're a few minutes late they're really nice and can make select menu items. Loved the chicken burger here after finishing a long hike from Studland

I was delighted with the quality of service provided. James helped connect a new electric towel heater and install an external socket at my home. Great job, very thorough and efficient. You wouldn’t have even known he was here afterwards - super clean and tidy. Would highly recommend and definitely use again for any electrical work!

Yup, the good reviews are on point. Gavin & his team did a full rewire of my house, and every aspect of working with him was A1. Starting with a detailed and fair quote; he made great suggestions that I hadn't thought of; the works, and communications were done well and on time; he was flexible to changes in my plans....generally speaking, he has a great attitude, so all-in-all I could relax and trust that the job was in good hands.

I’ve been meaning to leave this review for months. We’re regulars here because it’s fresh quality food served by lovely people. When we moved back to the UK from California we were pretty down on the healthy food options locally, but then we found Healthy Habits. So glad to have this on our doorstep and will keep coming back for the food, superb coffee and top notch service.
