Wandered across this place while dawdling around Wimborne. Grabbed some Flapjack, Banana Bread and Brownie to take home with us. all delicious, I would happily stop here again if I wanted some light food or some tea and a bit of cake. Also take a look around the little home store in the court yard. Has some lovely and unique items.

We stumbled on this lovely hidden gem as we were looking for a place to get out of the rain and something to eat. The team were very friendly, the food was excellent, I had a sourdough toastie with ham and cheddar cheese, my parter had the hummus and tomato alternative. The toasties were complemented with a side salad, the icing on the cake was the honey mustard dressing which came separate, absolutely delicious. As for the drinks, my cappuccino was fantastic, and my partner enjoyed her latte. Shame it was raining, I'm sure on a nice warm day the courtyard area is a perfect place to sit and enjoy a brunch.

Beautiful cafe, lovely food, coffee and cake. Staff very friendly and accommodating. The setting is great, hidden away from the hustle and bustle of the high street. The outside seating area is really charming. I’d also recommend the burger nights on a Thursday night. Burgers by Flaming Peaches (best burger I’ve ever eaten!) which you can take to the cafe, enjoy the ambience and have drinks. Really recommend!

First visit to the restaurant. I was very impressed with our server, who suggested we could move to the adjacent barn where it would be leas noisy. He was right. It was😎. Food quality was excellent. Also, I was very impressed with the general cleanliness. Toilets were immaculate. I would definitely recommend this place. 👍

Had the pleasure of visiting here last Sunday we arrived just after 10 and there were already quite a few people here. Offered seating inside or out, we ordered coffees which were very good and then I chose the homemade granola bowl which was absolutely delicious (it was also huge!) my husband chose the Mexican open flatbread which looked amazing, which he said was really good. Lovely friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Amazing food, Amazing ambience and Great service. There was no waiting time, even though the place was filled on a Wednesday morning 10am. Great bunch of ppl running the place. The cowshed breakfast was a delight. The hash browns was one of the best i have tried in UK. Overall, it is highly recommended.

We had a baby shower for my sister at The Cow Shed in their Barn area on Saturday, and it was perfect - everything we had hoped for! The staff were so helpful, both in the lead-up to the event and on the actual day. The barn itself is really picturesque, which was perfect for photos. We opted for a cream tea with both sweet and savory scones, and it was lovely. We paid per head for drinks, which guests could get from the private bar as and when they wished. There was plenty of room for games ect too. We couldn't recommend it more. We had the most special afternoon celebrating our new arrival with family and friends. A big thank you to The Cow Shed Team 🤍

We had warm paninis served with salad and coleslaw and a cold drink. Service was faultless from start to finish and tables were kept tidy and clean. Very extensive menu and everyone around us seemed hapoy with their orders. Nice atmosphere. We sat outside but I did go inside and it also looked lovely.

Greeting by friendly and happy staff, it felt like being welcomed into a family home. Order taken promptly and food served quickly even though it was fairly busy. I had the Chicken Fajita off of the specials menu which was absolutely delicious and a great portion size, it could’ve been a sharer for two. Highly recommend and a big thank you to the team.

Aroma is one of my favourite places for lunch as you are simply spoilt for choice! The menu is plentiful with sandwich choices, paninis, baps as well as having daily specials! On my most recent visit I opted for the Duck Pizza which was incredible! The service is also spectacular, the staff are super helpful and friendly, food & drinks arrived very fast; and staff ensured you always leave with a smile on your face. Overall would strongly recommend Aroma, and the Wimborne branch is equally as great as their others!

We were camping at Dapplewood campsite just down the road and walked to the Old Inn for drinks and an evening meal. Staff are very friendly and made a fuss of our dog, couldn't be more helpful. I can recommend Tanglefoot ale it went down very well, well all 5 did. I had the Old Inn pizza with french fried & my partner had the beef stroganoff, all the food was freshly cooked and very tasty. Highly recommend coming here if your in the area. We'll be back soon 😋

Been here twice recently to sample the steak and we were not disappointed at all. Great place with good atmosphere and service! Both times the meals were excellent, timing between courses perfect and the staff were friendly and accommodating. Will be going again next week. Could be an ideal "first dinner date" type of place or just somewhere to enjoy a very nice meal. If you haven't been there, definitely try it!

Went here on 24/09 for a last minute big booking midday sit-down and I honestly don't think I've been to a better pub in my life. Great staff, great food and ensconced in a wonderful old building full of character. If you're thinking about visiting, stop dillydallying and get on with it. Even better considering we gave them an hour's notice. I recommend the Beef Short Rib.

I honestly don’t think this needs endless paragraphs to describe the experience, So I’ll just bullet point my views. • Parking isn’t cheap but where is cheap these days?! • Great day out for the family • Feeling at one with nature • Plenty of options when it comes to play areas for the children. • You can spend all day within the park as time fly’s by before you know it. • Children can feel grown up for one day. First the children get their pictures took for their license. Then they test drive around in a circle before tackling the obstacle course in a mini Land Rover. It was brilliant. • The mini train was an awesome experience. Made me feel like a little kid again. I’m 33 by the way. • Go Ape is available but we didn’t plan for that as it’s half a days activity in my eyes. • Dogs are welcome but there isn’t many bins knocking around so you will be carrying the dog poo for a while. • Toilets are situated at the start near the parking next to the cafe area. Make sure you go before you start your journey around the park. Otherwise you will be taking a trip into the trees/bushes. I probably could say more but again.. only YOU can truly have an opinion on what YOU think of the park. This is just what I think. However, I shall definitely be going again with the family.

Amazing Halloween walk at Moors Valley. We had one of the later slots which added to the experience. The lights and sounds were fantastic. The food beforehand was reasonably priced. I hope they do this event again next year!

Came for the Halloween trail and was not dissapointed. The trail was filled with spooky sounds and exciting light displays, the staff along were also great fun and engaging with the visitors. The only downside was the parking as it was a special event so took a little while to find a spot but the parking staff kept the queues going as fast as they could.

Amazing experience. Took my 2 to the Halloween night time walk. The actors, lighting, props and overall feel of the experience was amazing. Well worth the money, will be definitely doing it next year.

So cool! So many things to do and play on. I am a wheelchair user and used an Alber e-fix 35 on this with no issue at all except the bridge over the railway as it's too steep (I later found out you can follow the path to the second stop and catch it from there). The restaurant and visitor areas are decently accessible. Would defo go again and again

Visited with family party of 9 ppl including 1 wheelchair user and 1 infant. Much appreciated that they were able to take our large party booking which was last minute following a family function the day before, especially in the lead up to Xmas on a Saturday. Menu was basic pub grub with plenty enough choice but good quality, hot and food was good. I had chicken curry which was lovely and others enjoyed the lasagna and fish and chips. Portions generous. Service decent and our food came in a timely enough fashion and simultaneously. There was a service charge but would say prices were pretty average and decent enough value for money. Easy to park. My father is a wheelchair user and the ramps, doorways, toilet etc worked well for him despite it being an older building with plenty of character. There were also baby change facilities in the disabled loo.Quite old fashioned decor but kind of part of the charm of a traditional English pub.

We enjoyed a group Christmas Dinner at the Stocks and it was brilliant. The booking was easy, organising each families orders was great and everything was super smooth! The food was delicious, we mostly chose from the Christmas menu and it was fabulous. A great pub, run by wonderful people. Highly recommended.

Came in yesterday the 17th for a festive meal. Despite how busy they were the food and service was amazing. We both went for the vegetable broth, belly pork and syrup sponge with ice cream. It was all stunning. Thank you Stocks Inn. See you in the New Year.

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.

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!

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.

Wow! Was not expecting that. Blown away by the food, the ambiance was nice and the staff were attentive and considerate. 100% recommend! I had the wild mushrooms starter, belly pork and cheesecake. The potato terrine was to die for. This was our first time and we will be back regularly! Thank you.

Nine of us went to the Pig for a family pre Christmas lunch yesterday (Saturday). We had pre-ordered which made things so much easier and slick; and every dish which was produced was absolutely delicious. The starters were generous….I had the brisket of beef; so, so good! Mr Husband had the trout which was carpaccio with wasabi and in a beetroot kvass. My son in law had fried Brie along with several others and those babies were melt in the mouth yum. Main courses; the belly pork was to die for. Most of us had that one! Duck was also excellent. And whilst I don’t always have pudding, the special was a Christmas themed bread pudding and it was fabulous. Again; a very generous portion; with a lovely crunch to the outside and buttery and sweet on the inside. All the other desserts looked equally wonderful. The staff were charming and so tolerant of all the demands of a big group of (mostly older!) people. Especially Jamie. Thank you Wimborne Pig! We will be back for sure.

We booked a table at the Wimborne Pig for our wedding anniversary and had an absolutely wonderful experience! We came with our 11-month old baby and the staff were absolutely brilliant and very helpful around her. The food was superb! The most delicious pork belly I've ever had- cooked to perfection, full of flavour and garnished with blueberry sauce. My husband had the beef burger and thoroughly enjoyed it. We both have allergies and I'm currently on a very restrictive gluten, dairy and egg free one. This wasn't an issue at all- the meal was adapted to cater for it. Overall a five star experience and a must try when in Wimborne!

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.

Went with my mum and it was such a beautiful pub! We sat by the chandelier which was amazing as well as our experience at Drusilla’s Inn. The wine was delicious as well as the food. The flavours from our meals stayed in our mouth’s till we got home - really amazing. The staff were kind and chatty and the owners are lovely too. Both owners spoke to all customers after their meals which was very special. 5/5 would come again!!

Ordered the club sandwich and a sausage roll from the bar menu best sandwich I've had delicious and the chips were great, nice tasty homemade looking sausage roll. Can't wait to try the main menu. Lovely staff as well. Ignore the miseries with low scores it's early days but can't fault it's food.

Had a great Sunday lunch here. The food is absolute excellent, really good starters and the roasts were delicious. It’s good to see the pub busy again after standing empty for so long, and the new owners have done a nice job of refurbishing it. The only slight comment was that service was a little slow (particularly with drinks) but I’m sure this will get better over the coming weeks. All of the staff were really friendly and we’ll definitely be coming back.
