Little Pickle at The Mill in East Dorset - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

First time eating here. Staff really friendly and the food was amazing. Beautiful location and even though you are near a main road you wouldn't know it as it was so peaceful and quiet. Best bacon bap and milkshake I have had in a long time and my dog loved her pupachino. We will definitely be back again! 😀

Had lovely lunch, which was suitable for vegans which I'm not,but fancied their mushroom and walnut roll. It was served as their version of a ploughmans. Excellent as was my friends goat cheese and leek quiche

Lovely tea and cake, sitting on the secluded riverside terrace having a catch up with a contact of mine. The chocolate cake was rich, as it should be, and I like the idiosyncratic tea sets that you are served with. Karen and Andrew are always friendly and generous hosts.

The most amazing secret location, we sat on the terrace right next to the river, Fabulous home cooked food, which looked & tasted delicious. Freshly made smoothies.Lots of menu choices & an array of cakes to choose from. The staff were welcoming & efficient - big shout out to Poppy. The chef (& owner?) not only cooked our food but delivered it & followed up afterwards to check we had enjoyed. 5 star 🌟 all round. Our only complaint…. we didn’t know about this hidden gem before! Will definitely be back & will be telling all our family & friends! ❤️

We hired the cafe for a wake for 25 people to have afternoon tea. The food was lovely with plenty to go round, the scones and sandwiches were all fresh using good quality ingredients. The staff were all very friendly and attentive and we would highly recommend the cafe to anyone. A big thank you…

Sadly an awful trip here today. The cafe was heaving and no seats, fair enough it’s good to be busy. The issue came when you wait around as you do for someone to be leaving only to be told each and every time they do the table is reserved. Wasn’t the only incoming peeps getting really hacked off with this, especially as it was raining outside and this is a snack/cake/hot drink cafe, not a restaurant. In the middle of moving house so came for a hot drink and to warm up and ended up freezing outside. To add insult to injury ordered and paid for cake with our hot drinks which didn’t come. Had to go inside to ask for it eventually when our drinks were finished and we were going! When mentioning all this to the staff member was snapped at rudely. Seriously unimpressed.

A friend and I popped in to have a hot drink and a chat at the Little Pickle after visiting Walford Mill. The hot chocolate was delicious- and a decent sized mug! We will definitely return and next time will have lunch as the food looked very appealing!

Top notch lunch with lovely atmosphere. The staff were friendly and efficient and the cafe is in a beautiful setting. So pleased they are making a go of it. We will be back.

Had a lovely afternoon tea at Little Pickle, as one of my daughter’s hen ‘do’s’ - this one with family. The sandwiches and cakes were fresh and tasty, we had our tea pots replenished many times, we could have had more sandwiches if we wanted them, the scones were warm with plenty of jam and cream, and the staff were really lovely. Will definitely go back there soon. Thank you very much.

We had advacdo scrambled eggs and tomatoes on sour dough it was delicious and the best brunch in a very long time. Beautifully seasoned to.staff were really friendly and service was excellent. Highly recommend.

This cafe is fantastic. The location is so beautiful and chilled by the river and the lovely Walford Mill. Customer service is top notch, all the staff are friendly and attentive. The food is locally sourced and, whilst the menu is limited, all the dishes and cakes are delicious. The Boscombe M’s Bakery cruffin is to die for!

What a gem of a cafe! I have been with family, friends and dogs, for afternoon tea and lunch. We love the vegan food and drink options, which are plentiful and VERY tasty! The welcome from staff is always so warm and the cafe has a lovely ambience with clean tables and comfy seating. The service is attentive and quick but not rushed, and now that we have found this fantastic place we will return again, and again and are very willing to travel 20 minutes by car for the experience!

Had a lovely lunch at the Little Pickle today. We were very well looked after and our food was delicious!

We’ve been going to The Little Pickle for several months now for lunch and flat white coffee. We order sandwiches which are freshly made or baked potato with toppings with a nice salad and served by very friendly staff. The building has a very high vaulted ceiling like a barn which must help stop any echoes and back ground noise which we find peaceful even when they are busy. When it’s warmer its nice to sit outside at the front or on the rear patio over looking the river and the good thing is there are no cars on this property so no car noise just nature and fresh air. Before or after your coffee/lunch you can always visit the crafts in the old Walford mill which is free to walk around.

Such a lovely setting, such a lovely little cafe! The food was great, fantastic service and atmosphere and it had become a regular hotspot for lunch or dinner

Always delicious and the best place to eat in Wimborne. I treat myself to a visit once a week and enjoy a perfect oat milk flat white and a cheese and chutney sandwich on sourdough which is always divine. The atmosphere is so relaxing and the Little Pickle family so welcoming it is difficult to not come and enjoy the cafe every day. A perfect place for anyone that is a real foodie, enjoys good company in a truly beautiful setting.

Gorgeous setting, gorgeous staff always smiling, great coffee and bloomin’ lovely food! Marmite scones to die for and the soups, yum

I have had a fair few meals and refreshments at Little Pickle at The Mill. It is always a lovely experience, warm welcomes and smiles, delicious food, refreshing drinks, all in a beautiful location. I must mention also the burgers, homemade and barbecued by Andrew were so good my son had two!!

I've been coming to Little Pickle since it opened and it never disappoints. I've had their lunches here (the vegan pastrami on sourdough is AMAZING) and the chai lattes are gorgeous. I am a veggie and dairy free and I'm pleased to always see loads of veggie and vegan options for all the food (including amazing cakes) and of course all the milk alternatives for their delicious coffees. Well worth a visit! and pop in to Walford Mill Crafts while you're there - loads of parking in the car park (paid) next door.

Best Cappuccino in the Bournemouth area. Friendly staff too. They also welcome dogs. Outside seating available.

I have found staff to be very helpful with regard to dietary requirements and their fresh and healthy menu reinforces this so to see a review complaining about use of standard milk rather than the requested oat milk is surprising to say the least. Oat milk gives a completely different texture and test, obvious from the first sip and enough to instantly put me off. How nice to find somewhere that can serve good, fresh coffee without the long delay so often encountered elsewhere.

After attending for a family wake, highly recommend the Little Pickle at The Mill. Excellent value for money, very pleasant friendly staff, in a lovely location next to the river. Everyone catered for, included gluten free.
