Lovely little coffee shop. Cozy and quirky atmosphere. The staff were very polite and helpful. The place was clean and service was pretty quick considering the had quite a few orders to make. Coffee was decent (cafetiere of the Columbian coffee) and the sandwich I had was lovely (Bacon with brie and cranberry on sourdough) The only let down was it felt a little pricey compared to similar places I've been to in the past. But I think it's worth a trip at least once.

Love this place. The family are always welcoming and make food to order if you ask nicely! Dog friendly, food is always great and the atmosphere is on point. Highly recommend. Note: seating can sometimes be tight but I wouldnt want the Pantry any other way. Its quirky and relaxed!

Oh my gosh this place is amazing ! I can’t believe something this chic and cute is in the new forest! The staff are so lovely and the interior is so cosy and aesthetically pleasing. Every little bit of potential comfort has been thought out. All the furniture has been really well thought through.

Food was wonderful, service was amazing & I was incredibly impressed by the level of gluten free options at the afternoon tea. Will definitely be returning. Photos of my gluten free which was shared between two of us.

Clean open & airy with plenty of room fabulous Greasy spoon without the grease!!! They offer a massive menu with plenty of options offering every possible combination for breakfasts and if you don't fancy a breakfast there is a wide range of tasty meals and snacks on offer! Parking is limited however it seems to be a case of leave where you can abandon it outside but be prepared to move it because if your not blocking someone in you will be blocked.

This is one of those hidden gem places that do not come along very often. Its tucked away at the back of a trading estate. So, you won't find it by chance. Its done in the style of an American diner with a British twist. The staff are great and let you know they are pleased too have you pay a visit. Its evident that the local trades all know about this place, but the secret is gradually getting out. Parking can be tricky close by. But there are plenty of spaces a short walk away. Food is really good. More than a match, and in most cases a big step up, for any of the local cafes and pub restaurants. Fresh cooked and prepared on site. There is a great menu which covers most tastes, big range of drinks and even American pancakes to finish you off if you can fit any more in. Portion sizes are generous so don't over order. The most popular choices seem to be the excellent cooked breakfasts. Highly recommend this place. Well worth the effort of finding it. Moderate prices for a 5 star service. I don't think you will find better in the area.

We had the breakfast with avocado, pancakes with maple syrup and fruit, egg, 2 bacon rashers, butchers sausage, 2 hash browns and halloumi. Food tasted excellent, came prompt and all food was still hot, the owner also offered us both any free drink after we said we werent gonna get one. Very nice guy. Great service would reccomend to anyone. Breakfast was £14.95 and was worth every penny.

Gullivers Farm Shop & Kitchen

Gullivers Farm Shop & Kitchen is a gem for families and the community! We thoroughly enjoyed the Christmas events for our little ones! The food is fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully prepared, with superb coffee that’s hard to beat. The shop is full of organic, local produce, and the whole place has a warm, welcoming vibe. We loved the family-friendly activities like meeting the farm animals and the play area for kids. What really stands out is the amazing work they do to support adults with varying support needs, creating opportunities and a real sense of community. It’s a fantastic place for great food, great coffee, and a meaningful experience!

Brilliant for brunch - yesterday was the first time we’ve been back since the new kitchen has gone in. We were both wowed by “Dom’s Special” which was the best avocado, salsa, chilli jam, poached egg on sourdough: accompanied by perfect cappuccino and tea. Thank you!

We had a fab time here this morning. It was very wet and muddy after all the rain we've had recently but my kids loved splashing on the trail. I even enjoyed a hot coffee while they played in the play area and my 3yo was thrilled with her gluten free brownie! Fab facilities, clean toilets and baby changing area. We will be back 😀

I’ve been a regular customer at Gulliver’s Farm Shop for quite some time, and it’s been wonderful to watch it grow and evolve. They offer a delightful menu featuring biodynamic food straight from their farm, and the quality of the food is outstanding, especially for the price. One of the highlights for us is that when an adult orders a meal, children's meals are just £1 – a fantastic value for families! What makes Gulliver's even more special is their commitment to employing individuals with disabilities, providing meaningful support and opportunities to adults with varying needs. It feels great to support such a worthy cause while enjoying a meal. The play area is perfect for kids to run around, and the play trail is a lovely addition after a meal. I highly recommend Gulliver’s Farm Shop to friends and will continue to do so."

Our first time in Wimborne and this cafe was recommended to us. A lovely, traditional English menu. We got the veggie and big breakfast. Both were amazing. Very tasty and that egg was gorgeous! It is a very clean and cosy cafe with friendly staff who are very efficient. They have cute bathrooms upstairs also.

Second time I've been here for breakfast, and I've been impressed both time! Dog Friendly! We arrived around half 11 on a Saturday morning and the place was bustling and full with lots of tables booked up. We ended up sitting outside which was still really nice! Would definitely visit again. Breakfast Bagel, Pancakes and Coffee all delicious. Worth calling to book to make sure you get a table!

I have dined at this gem of a restaurant twice and each time the experience is fantastic. The food is basic but beautifully cooked and presented. The service is superb and always with a smile. Wonderful friendly atmosphere both downstairs or upstairs. The final flourish is that the bill will be as pleasing as the experience. Very well worth a visit.

I went in for breakfast on Saturday morning. I had a pot of tea and Egg and Avacado breakfast. The food was amazing. Service is professional. It feels like the people who come here no how good the food it is but don’t want to let others no. I say that because there was plenty of room. So it felt spacious. A little cold if you are someone who feels it. It is in a garden centre so feels right the way the atmosphere is. Definitely somewhere to visit.

Great cafe with plenty of seating. Great service from the staff as well. I would like to suggest that they would include salad and coleslaw to other food options like the sausage roll. It cost £3.50 just to add this to a sausage roll.

Pleasant Hillier's garden centre with large cafe and a butchers shop. We only called on for a coffee which was ok but pricey and not quite enough milk. I noticed the bottled still water worked out at £6,000 per cubic mitre!

Have had a couple of Saturday evenings at The Old Thatch recently. Lovely food (Venison pie, fish pie and apple & berry crumble with custard), efficient and friendly service and accommodating to a large friendly dog, who was happy to receive gravy bones and a bowl of water. Good beer, including real ale on tap. Busy, but everyone seemed to be having such a good time - so much to recommend and will definitely be back there again soon. Thank you for your hospitality x

Went here for Sunday lunch as a party of six. We sat in the marquee. We were impressed with the service and food. I had the roast pork and roast lamb. There was roast beef as well. I had the Apple and berry crumble, which was delicious too. There is plenty of free parking. I would recommend this place for Sunday roast.

The Old Thatch in Stapehill, Wimborne, Dorset, a 17th century pub which sits directly opposite historic Stapehill Abbey has a very warm and welcoming feel to it, from the roaring fireplace to the friendly smiling staff. My wife and I decided to try this place out as we had heard great things, and we were not disappointed. We had not booked, but the staff found us a lovely cosy corner next the fire. The seating was very comfy and I could have stayed all afternoon. The staff was very attentive and a drinks order placed within a few minutes of sitting down. After a quick study of the menu the waitress brought over the drinks order and took our food order. The starter arrived in good time and it tasted fantastic, fresh and full of flavour, once finished the waitress wasted no time in clearing our plates and again the main course arrive shortly after hot and freshly cooked. The mains were perfect, the pie was great and the vegetables cooked to perfection, crisp and full of colour. The deserts followed and again food heaven. So what does this place score for us. Atmosphere, 5 stars Service, 5 stars Food quality, 5 stars Price, 5 Stars

I consider this to be one of the best garden centers in a wide area! A twenty five minute drive for me and although the particular plants I was hoping to buy were not in stock, Terrie could not have been more helpful in suggesting some alternatives, which I bought. All the staff I encountered could not be more friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The quality of the plants is far better than several other garden centers I have visited in the last few months. Prices are fair and better than a competitor in Longham. The plants are all well displayed and although I did not use the cafe on this occasion I have in the past and it was good. I highly recommend this garden center and despite a longer drive I will return.

The Three Legged Cross Hilliers is a restaurant I often visit with my mother when I come down from London. It's a great place to take her for breakfast, as each experience is new for her due to her dementia. Today was an exceptional visit, thanks to Elisha (James), whose customer service was impeccable accompanied by an infectious smile and was incredibly welcoming. Elisha was also very attentive and accommodating to all of our needs, and the vegetarian breakfast was one of the best I've ever had. Thank you, Elisha, for making our morning so wonderful. You not only made me smile, but you also made my mum's day. We left the restaurant with big grins on our faces, thanks to your wonderful approach.

Pleasant staff, plenty of room in the cafe with an area for those with dogs. Good, reasonably priced breakfast but could have been a little warmer. Lots of variety in the shopping areas and not overly expensive. Plenty of parking.
