The Tickled Pig in East Dorset

An excellent menu with excellent food. We loved this so much that we came back with some different friends. Service was good and staff friendly.

Fabulous restaurant which we would give more than 5 stars if we could. The combination of the delicious food, the outstanding service and the ambience felt like a hug. We are still talking about what a lovely meal and evening it was. Of particular mention were the Smoked Haddock Souffle with Whiskey Marmalade, the Sea bass, pollock, ginger, chilli and lime fishcake starter and the Pork belly main.

Staying locally and looking for a decent place to eat we happened upon the Wimborne pig. We booked in, 17.30 on a Wednesday night, am glad I booked. Right from the start super welcome, really genuine, warm and a proper smile. We were shown upstairs, bit strange I thought we’re the only people here. By 18:15 the place was nearly full. We ordered cheese soufflé the pork and beef brisket for main then a treacle tart and lemon sorbet and a dark chocolate cheese cake. All the food was outstanding, every part of the service was outstanding. Well done you the Wimborne pig, if trip advisor did 10 stars then you would be getting 10 stars. If I lived locally, when I say locally I mean within an hours drive, I would be a regular here. I can’t recommend this place enough .

I was staying with family in Ferndown looking for somewhere to go. I happened on this gem of a restaurant. I had the signature dish the pork belly and it was delicious. My mum eats only gluten free and her meal was just as delicious. The staff were friendly, welcoming and very efficient. Definitely try this restaurant if you're in the area. Wimborne is a delightful place well worth a visit.

Dropped in for lunch while in Wimborne. Turns out to a great family run restaurant with interesting menu. As I am dairy free it can often be difficult to have what you fancy, however here as everything is cooked to order they changed things around so I could have what I wanted. Great food, good service, good atmosphere. Owner was pleasant and had a good chat with his.

Lovely restaurant just off the main Wimborne square in an old 18c (?) house, with a beautiful back garden, perfect for lunch outside on a summer’s day. They grow their own vegetables, service is great, and food prepared with love. I had the fish daily special, son had the lamb burger. Excellent food and value. I’d definitely come back. Would also be good for a romantic dinner.

A lovely spot in the garden for lunch with friends. Food was very good with lots of choice. Service came with a smile and efficiency.

We love this place. Friendly, relaxed service. Fantastic food. Never disappointed! We went on a very hot evening and had our pudding and coffees in the intimate, beautifully lit garden. Highly recommended!

Excellent quality food and service in a cosy lounge setting. Plaice on the bone a good choice as well as a choice of steaks.

Had a beautiful lunch for 4 sitting in the little garden outside on a scorching hot day. Everything was perfect and finished with a round of delicious ice cream. The service was great. I would thoroughly recommend

We visited the Wimborne Pig on a Tuesday evening and were pleased to see it was relatively busy. The service was friendly and the food was as good as our previous visit. We had the tempura prawns and cheese with chorizo souffle for starters which were both very tasty. For mains we had the catch of the day (sea bass) with veg and new potatoes and the goats cheese and tabbouleh salad which were both excellent. The bill was approximately £105 including a tip and bottle of wine. We would happily return.

This is gem in Dorset, visiting a few times now and never disappoints, the food is amazing,service so friendly and accommodating, this is always my first choice of restaurants by far.

A lovely evening at the Wimborne Pig. Really friendly, impeccable service, beautiful food. My husband says it was some of the best lamb he has ever tasted. Stunning. Thank you.

The Wimborne Pig is our absolute favourite restaurant ever. We have been dining here for a few years now and it has become our routine for a special night out, we always feel so welcomed and looked after. It’s not just the food (which is incredible) that makes this place so special, it’s how we are made to feel when we are there. All the staff and the owners are so welcoming and kind. As for the food, there are no words. Every meal we have had has been exceptional and we always look forward to the new seasonal menu. We are very lucky to have this gorgeous restaurant in our town.

We had the most fabulous meal last night. Cheese souffle (the best ever,topped my previous favourite)& meatballs,followed by 2 x pork belly,1 panacote and 1 mixed ice-cream. It was all beautiful presented and very tasty. Yes,it was a bit pricey (although the individual courses weren't extortionate,I guess it all adds up),but so lovely to have a meal that I didn't sat " yeah it was ok". It truly was the best meal we've had in a long time. My only negative....the wine was a bit pricey £14.50 for a large glass...so I only had one. Had it been cheaper I'd probably have had 2!

Cannot praise The Wimborne Pig highly enough. The whole evening was exquisite. The service, the atmosphere, the food, the drink. Honestly just wonderful.Really good value for money given how high quality the food is and we’ve already booked our next trip as we loved it so much.

Great service, exceptional food. There wasn’t anything I could fault about my meal today. Simply delicious.

Can not fault this evenings meal for two! We had regular take aways during lockdowns too! We both had 3 courses(greedy I know) all different plates- all delicious 😋

A return visit to this little place. Great food and service. I had the special -lamb rump. It was so tasty and well cooked. My boyfriend had the sea bass which he said was great. Would definitely recommend.

Wow. What can we say. Food fabulous. Service amazing and attentive. Will be our favourite place to eat. Thank you Jamie and Kym snd crew.

Went here for Sunday lunch whilst visiting. Nice ambiance, genuinely friendly staff. Good beer, good wine and really good food. Will definitely return

What a fantastic surprise this was, service from booking to dessert was warm and efficient. The food packed so much Flavour and really generous portions. Everything was just spot on, we left two very happy food addicts 😄

We were so looking forward to revisiting our favourite restaurant in Wimborne and the anticipation was eclipsed by the experience. Firstly the welcome was as warm as ever, the smiles just as big, the seasonal decor had moved on from the last time we were there, winter to spring, colourful and fresh, it really put us in the mood. The menu had some old favourites and new additions and our choices were cooked to perfection, locally produced ingredients presented at their best.No more lockdowns please we want to get back to our regular visits,Well done to Kym and Jamie and their staff.

Amazing food in a very nice little restaurant they uses great seasonal ingredients, with well trained and very friendly staff, highly recommend

If you find yourself in Winborne then you should eat at The Winbourn pig very good Sunday lunch, Fabulous food, great service

The food in this restaurant is divine. The flavours put to every dish whether starter, main or dessert is wonderful and such excellent quality. The service is pitched right, theu don't rush you. Drinks are bought to your table promptly and the interaction with the staff is great, they are friendly and Personable. The whole evening was first class from start to finish . Thank you for such a lovely evening

been several times now and glad they are opening again, as too far for their take away!Staff are always friendly and know all about their menu and specials.I am diabetic and gluten free so it's great they can accommodate my requirements.First class wine list, staff can recommend their high quality list.Nothing is spared in their menu or surroundings.Going for lunch this weekend, can't wait.

Fabulous food, wonderful service and great ambiance. Post lockdown the highest standards are being maintained in a very covid safe environment. Thank you for a fantastic lunch, can't recommend the cheese souffle starter high enough. So glad your back open.

My husband treated me to a 3 Course lunch today for my birthday. The restaurant was closed but they have been offering weekend takeaways. The meal was hot and very substantial. Not only was it all delicious, but also very good value. We had the pulled pork croquettes, followed by the slow roasted beef brisket. There were so many vegetables with it as well as Yorkshire puddings. Our sweet was a yummy sticky toffee pudding. We would highly recommend this service in the current lockdown.

My partner and I have a soft spot for this restaurant and it's soulful local menu. We always enjoy what we have, from fish of the day to their signature Wimborne Pig burger. Delightful starters and desserts also never fail to impress. Pre covid our great date night out and during covid it has become our treat night in. Couldn't recommend more if you care about your food and your taste buds.

After cancelling most of my plans for my 40th birthday celebrations I booked a table at our favourite local restaurant. The food was exceptional the cheese soufflés followed by the turkey. Generous portions, top quality products and delicious. The ambience was cosy, attentive staff and got us in the Christmas spirit. Perfect evening.

Coming from the South of France, where fine dining is a prerequisite for any restaurant that wishes to succeed, I had been let down by the low standards of many UK restaurants. That is, until I came across the Pig! The Pig’s menu perfectly blends the essence of British cuisine with high quality dishes. Furthermore, upon arrival you are greeted with a leading and welcoming staff, who know their menu well. The dishes themselves I would describe as top class. Their current winter menu, from which I picked the Hake fillet (very good choice) offers any diner the right combination of choice between classic and adventurous dishes, just what any restaurant should have! Finally, I take my hat off to the kitchen staff who have delivered a truly exceptional British menu. If you are in the area or visiting, I cannot recommend the Pig enough!

A spur of the moment decision to go for lunch now the kids were back at school after a COVID related hiatus - and what a wonderful place to choose.Even better than it was as the Tickled Pig - I cannot fault any part of the experience. Lovely atmosphere and decor, one of my favourite beers from the local Eight Arch brewery on tap, and the food was delicious. The cheese soufflé was perfect - I didn’t want it to end; and the beef and ale stew probably the best stew I’ve ever had.My wife was also raving about her pork belly main and shellfish Thermidor starter.Can’t wait to come back!

I have to admit- 2 takeaways in one weekend! Both delicious! Had a burger Friday evening- and Sunday roast ! The Sunday roast was more than worth the money, it was tasty, well cooked and all round yummyness!

We decided to try the Wimborne Pig take away service to cheer us up on a wet, windy weekend during Lockdown 2. It was incredible! The pork belly was delicious and the sticky toffee pudding and salted caramel sauce was gorgeous. They even kindly made me some custard (creme anglaise style) to go with it for extra decadence! And yes it really did cheer us up! Please do give the Wimborne Pig a try - you will not be disappointed.

If you want an all round amazing dining experience the Wimborne Pig is the place to go. There is no other choice. Jamie and Kym are true professionals in the hospitality industry. The welcome is warm and the decor and atmosphere perfect. Then you have the food, which is exceptional. A family favourite of ours is the cheese souffle because it is always perfect and that is not easy to find. There is always something for everyone on the menu and all the dishes are cooked to perfection. This restaurant is going to be fully booked at Christmas so I would get a booking in now - we have!

The Wimborne Pig has become our favourite restaurant! Since taking over the new owners have really taken the restaurant to new heights. The ambience is lovely and the food is always fantastic. Their cheese soufflé is to die for and this Saturday even that was better than ever. The service is lovely and the decor is so autumnal with pretty candles that create a cozy welcoming atmosphere. We will certainly be taking advantage of their take away menu over lockdown! Highly recommend!

Had a lovely lunch here on Wednesday. The measures in place for COVID are very good with plenty of hand sanitiser, separation between tables and tables clearly marked as being clean and ready to use. The food is fantastic with a wide choice for myself and my wife who is vegetarian. The portion sizes are very generous and will leave you feeling well fed. The atmosphere of the Pig is soooo relaxing and it was a shock to leave the warmth and calm to go back to the cold, wind and rain outside.

We visited for lunch on a blustery, rainy, October Saturday and stepping through the door was like stepping into a warm embrace! The welcome, the ambience, the candles, the fairy lights - the immediate impression is one of total warmth and welcome. The measures put in place for COVID are highly effective and make you feel instantly safe.And now, the menu! Such wonderfully delicious food and wine. The chefs are truly to be applauded - every dish we had was sublime. Everything about The Wimborne Pig is just sheer joy - the front of house team (courteous, friendly and very professional), the extremely talented kitchen team, the decor and even the bespoke playlists playing soothingly in the background. I cannot remember the last time I enjoyed a dining experience so thoroughly. I can't wait to return! Thank you The Wimborne Pig!

Good job we booked as the empty tables when we arrived soon filled up. We decided to have the specials with a starter of smoked mackerel pate and the main course of beef stewed in local ale. Both were well presented and delicious. We shared the cheeseboard which was fabulous with a selection of four local cheeses and homemade crackers. Staff were friendly and attentive. Definitely worth a visit we would happily eat here again.

Attentive service, astounding food beautifully presented. Everything we ate was exceptional. Surprised to see one of my favourite Italian white wines (trebbiano) on the list at a good price which completed the experience. Wish we lived in Dorset!

Having not visited this restaurant before, what a delightful find it was. Great food, ambience and great service. Best cheese soufflés ever and the main course of skate for me...delicious and plaice for my husband, equally delicious. Cleared our plates and despite being very full, had a peak at the dessert menu. With so many lovely choices we succumbed and I had the best bread and butter pudding I have tasted, my husband had an equally enjoyable apple frangipani. Well done to the chefs for a fantastic meal and great service from front of house. When we are in the area again, we will be back

Just realised I forgot to leave a review for our visit here in early September. It was a delicious dinner, with interesting a beautifully prepared food. The ambience was delightful and the service excellent and very friendly. Still recall it all with great pleasure and would like to return.....

Just enjoyed a lovely night out reuniting with friends at The Wimborne Pig. Food was fresh & tasty, service was friendly and ambience inviting. Support this lovely local restaurant.

Great food and even better service. Really attentive staff and all courses were enjoyed. I had the brisket which I couldn’t fault.

My husband and I had lunch today in The Wimborne Pig and it’s the best meal we’ve experienced in years. The food is sourced locally and organic and the quality of the cooking and presentation is superb. Top marks and we’ll be back very soon.

The interesting menu lived up to expectations. Very good food, friendly but professional service and a lovely atmosphere. We will definitely return and bring friends. Covid19 precautions well established.

We finally have got a table following many recommendations and we were not disappointed.The autumn cosy decor, the atmosphere and service was wonderful but the food was another level. Lots of omg this taste amazing were heard. By far the best restaurant in Dorset. Thank you for everything

Where to start? Given the current state of affairs, the team at the wimborne pig have done their absolute best to make the place feel welcoming yet safe. From the moment you enter there is a hand sanitiser and adequate social distancing in place. The team were very welcoming, took the time to explain the menu and point out the specials. the choice is perfect and the quality of the food is exceptional. You couldn't ask for a better quality of food though. no course was rushed and even with the 10pm curfew looming we felt we had plenty of time to enjoy our food. The team were available but not intrusive and the food was incredible. We could not fault a single thing and cannot wait to return. Give it a whirl and prepare to be delighted

We came for a birthday lunch . We were given a warm welcome and the staff we very accommodating as we had a new baby with us. The decor is beautiful and very cosy, the staff were really helpful and friendly. The food was wonderful, every course was delicious. Would love to return, highly recommend a visit to this lovely place.

Fantastic food, staff fab, will be back, couldn’t fault it Best cheesecake ever, everything was perfect

We had a very warm welcome, superb service and fantastic, tasty food. Beautifully decorated and cosy. Highly recommended. Sadly a drunk couple found a bizarre reason to complain which upset everyone. We loved it! 👍

Had a Sunday lunch and meal in the week here and both were 10/10 experiences. The food is plentiful, good value and superbly cooked and presented. My wife and I come from London originally and have been to many restaurants there and around the world. This is in our top 3 overall.

We paid a visit this week for my birthday and so glad we did.The welcome we received and service was fantastic from the start and noticed the ambience immediately. The food was absolutely gorgeous, one had the 3 course menu which was delicious, the other had the mussels and then the fisherman's catch.The thought that had gone into every dish we had, was obvious. The whole experience was nothing like we have had in a Lomg time. Thank you to all the staff and owners at the Wimborne Pig, we've already booked to go back again. Highly recommended!

Kim & Jamie have produced a great eatery from the ashes of the Tickled Pig in these challenging times. We know them from No. 9, our go to restaurant in Wimborne and were disappointed when it closed so we were delighted to hear that they are now the owners of the Pig. We took some friends to our first foray comfortable in the knowledge that we were in the safe hands of Kim & Jamie and they did not disappoint. they have built a great team who make you feel relaxed and comfortable.The menu was just right and the specials interesting, all our food came out in good time, was cooked perfectly and was delicious. Once again we have our go to restaurant, give it a try.

This was my first night out after shielding and the staff at The Pig couldn't have been nicer in alleviating any concerns & making sure I was happy so a big thank you for that. In addition the food was delicious & the place has a great atmosphere. We will definitely be back

We visited in August with my husband's son & his girlfriend to celebrate the end of his master's degree. We sat upstairs for the first time, it was so beautiful with the pretty lights and soft furnishings and we were served by the nicest, knowledgeable & friendly staff. The food is superb, well presented & perfectly cooked. We wouldn't consider going anywhere else for a special meal in Wimborne.

This was our first visit to The Wimborne Pig...and it certainly won't be our last. The pork belly was melt-in-the -mouth delicious...gnocchi very tasty...lemon tart with lime creme-fraiche and the bread and butter pudding were a lovely sweet end to a super lunch. The service was faultless...we look forward to going back.

Visited the restaurant on Wednesday as we thought we'd use the EOTHO scheme to visit some different places as potential new restaurants to dine out in in the future. i must say that this was one of the best meals out we have had in a long time all ingredients were fresh and meals were delicious. I had Mussels to start and pork belly for main and my Fiance had the 3 course menu and the brisket just melted in your mouth. will definitely be going back again soon. thank you

Firstly a little about ourselves. We are a Fifty something couple. My fiancee is a fantastic cook so we have difficulty finding places to eat where we can eat better than at home. My culinary contributions to some of our meals is usually prep, but apparently I make the best mash potato. My fiancee is conscious of her food intake and is careful of her weight, although she doesn't need to be. I on the other hand eat around 3000 to 4000 calories a day and am not careful at all but luckily don't put on weight and remain slim. I know it's just not fair.We took advantage of the eat out to help out scheme to visit The Wimborne Pig. It used to be the Tickled Pig and my fiancee has wanted to eat there for quite some time.I started with olives and warm bread. Surprisingly the portion was larger than I expected. The olives were of a really good quality and it was served with crusty bread and an oil and balsamic dip. Very nice!Mains.I had the pork belly from the man menu. It was served on chive mash with carrots and Kale. The Kale was sweet, which surprised me. The pork belly was cooked to perfection with the lightest of crackling resembling prawn crackers in appearance. There was a rich sauce and pureed carrots to dress the plate, It looked fantastic but I thought small. Little did I realise that the looks were deceiving. It tasted even better than it looked and was a substantial meal it its own right. Bear in mind my normal evening meal is around 2000 calories. My fiancee had the brisket. Well, if I thought the pork belly was tasty, this was in a league of its own. Never have I tasted beef with so much flavour. It was served with crushed new potatos and a salad comprising of grated white cabbage, grated apple spring onions yoghurt and mint. The sauce was the richest I have tasted with layer upon layer of flavours. Amazing.DesertI had the wimborne pig sunday. Again smaller than I expected but yet again even more filling with lots of hidden sponge/biscuit with varying intensities of chocolate cream and ice cream. Not just your usual ice cream and chocolate sauce. Outstanding.She had the lemon tart with lime creme fraich. Clean crisp tasty. Light filling served on delicate pastry base.Service 11 out of 10 for service.Critisim.The pastry on the lemon tart could possible have been cooked for a minute or two more to be perect.OverallThe best place to eat in the UK? Maybe, possibly.....probably!Will I go back and pay full price. Definitly. !!!!!!Should you go. Well only if you like great food, great service. Is it expensive? No. Full price for the meals and two small glasses of wine was under £55. That is quite dear for us as we are quite thrifty (tight).Is it good value.? No it is fantastic value. I would defy you to find the same quality food anywhere at any price.

First time at the Wimborne Pig - wow! A fantastic meal in an ambient setting with excellent Covid-secure arrangements in place. The food was amazing. Although we started off thinking we’d go for the set menu which is excellent value at £19.99 for three courses (£14.95 for two courses), we were tempted by the cheese soufflé, mussels, pork and hake dishes. Plus it was Eat Out to Help Out night so why not?! Service excellent, really relaxed yet highly professional. Desserts also fab. Lovely glass of Prosecco. I’m happy! Highly recommend this restaurant and will be back (tomorrow if I could!). Thanks to everyone at the Wimborne Pig for a lovely evening.

Opted for the three course set menu on a Thursday evening at £20 pp as it sounded too good not to. Confidently executed. Great taste and textures; ample sized portions to get the range of flavours but also make it to three courses. Ambience and service very easy going. Exactly what a nice dinner out should be. Professionally precise. Well done. Highly recommend. Thank you!

We booked this on a visit to a friend who has moved to Wimborne. The venue is lovely with a welcoming ambience despite the Covid 19 safety measures. Staff were friendly, helpful and attentive but not overly so. We had cheese souffle, pate and ham hock starters all presented beautifully and tasted wonderful. For mains we chose pork belly and mash and hake and lemon crushed potatoes. We were not disappointed. Presented delightfully and served hot! Dessert heaven, brownies, panna cotta with the best shortbread biscuits ever tasted, bread and butter pudding and stem ginger icecream. We decided to go off the set menu but it was a difficult choice as that was amazing too. Took advantage of the Eat Out to Help Out. Would definitely recommend and we will be back next time we are in Wimborne.

9 of us had a SUPERB meal here in August to celebrate my 60th birthday. The food was incredible and, despite the fact that the whole of England was melting in mad heat, the service was quick and efficient and our waitress was lovely. And I even had a specially, chocolate plate with my pudding on which was a wonderful touch. Will definitely be returning as soon as possible!!

We booked this the day before on a short visit to Wimborne and could not be more delighted. The food was first class, service exceptional and setting very charming. We would thoroughly recommend this and would return again if we didn’t live in S Wales!

Lovely meal in Wimborne. The restaurant had recently reopened, booked online for lunch. Had a lovely Cheese Soufflé starter followed by the Hake and Chicken for our mains. Staff very very friendly. The restaurant participants in the HMG Eat Out to Help Out scheme in August, so you get up to £10 off your meal and soft drinks per person.

A welcome night out which didn,t disappoint.The staff and layout of the restaurant were covid aware,without taking away the ambiance.Choice of menu was good and the cheese souffle was rich and creamy with just the right "wobble".Both of us chose the rib-eye steak.,one rare the other medium,both cooked to perfection..As for the chips............they were some of the best ever!Couldn,t fit in a dessert,but that was only cos we were piggy and had olive ,breads and balsamic at the beginning,balsamic sweet and fruity,good mix of olives.We,ll be back sooner rather than later.

What can I say amazing food and service .. they couldn’t do enough for us ... will definitely be going back .. they’ve spent a lot of time and effort on the garden and it has certainly worked..

I went here with my 21 year old son,for lunch it was amazing we both had the cheese souffle it was so nice,I had the meat board for my main and my son had the burger both were lovely really good portions.will definitely go back.

During lockdown we have tried a couple of takeaways from restaurants and to be honest it's been disappointing. We had put it down to the delivery time and food not travelling well.However tonight we decided to try The Wimborne Pig for a takeaway treat.....It was wonderful. Pulled Pork Rissotto for starters with Burnt Apple Sauce. Mains were Cod with Samphire, Saffron Mash, Samphire and a Bisque which was excellent.Belly Pork, Crushed New Potatoes, Apple Coleslaw and Jus..... Very generous and tasty portion of Belly Pork.Deserts were White Cocolate and Raspberry Bread & Butter Pudding and a Cherry and Apricot Custard Tart.The price was very reasonable and less than I would expect to pay in the restaurant. It was definately of a good restaurant standard and something we will do again.

My boyfriend and I drove past and saw they were offering takeaways. After not being able to eat out during the lockdown we decided to try a takeaway. We both had amazing meals, along with a dessert and a bottle of wine. It was as good as dining in. I would 100% recommend This to anyone looking for a quality restaurant meal at home.

Just finished our first takeaway... wow! All of my favourite parts from the restaurant remain. Nothing is reduced due to it being a takeaway. Thank you so much for such a delicious dinner. So glad you guys are back!

Really enjoyed our first visit meeting up with friends. The menu was creative and interesting. Really enjoyed all three courses and have a positive memory of eating out at a privately owned business. We will definitely return and highly recommend

We visited the Wimborne Pig last Friday evening as a group of 4 and were all really impressed with the food and service. Great selection of dishes including from the specials board, would highly recommend the thyme panacotta. Wonderful ambience and the staff and owners were lovely. We will definately return!

Went for sunday lunch only wanted one course ordered pork arrived meat tough lots red cabbage bit green couple toast potatoes Yorkshire pudding poor show for price.We wont be returning can get small roast with more for 8.00 each

Excellent food and service. Fab ambience. Recommend the sea bass. So nice to eat at an individual place rather than a chain. Definitely will return.

Visited the Wimborne Pig with friends on a Saturday evening. Our first visit and we wasn’t disappointed. The service was excellent and the food absolutely delicious. The best Cheese Soufflé I’ve ever tasted with a little side of onion chutney. We will be returning.

Visited the Wimborne Pig for lunch today for the first time with my wife. I have to say first, the service was excellent. The food though was fantastic! As an ex-chef I can be quite fussy but I was really impressed! We had the sea bass for a main and the chocolate pudding. It was the best meal I’ve had in a long time. I’m already planning my next visit.

We called in during the day as I had left a voicemail for a booking the previous week but heard nothing. Unbeknown to me I had gone to the old website with the old phone number for the tickled pig which has now been taken over. The staff couldn’t do enough for us to fit us in for the evening. The atmosphere and surroundings were very stunning and the food was excellent. We will certainly be making a return visit.

Visited this quite a while ago with my wife and loved it. Highly recommend all aspects and atmosphere fantastic. Looking for somewhere to go or try then visit this place!

We booked for December which was cancelled with the change of management and this was our first visit since. Service and food was excellent. Really nice decor in the restaurant. This will be my favourite place now to bring friends and family visiting for dinner. The burger was excellent

Will certainly use this gem of a restaurant again. I had a belly pork dish which was utterly yummy, followed by cheese with amazing home made crackers... Devine. The ONLY reason this review is not 5* is because the menu is very small. Perhaps a couple more choices would give perfection.

Lovely ambience in the upstairs room where we were sat, staff were attentive and welcoming and service was spot on.

Excellent service good food interesting ambience Internet was down but owner wrote hand written menu's and was most apologetic.

This was my first visit here and I loved it. The atmosphere was lovely and the food was just magnificent. We all had the beetroot burger which came with sweet potatoes fries and a dressed salad and devoured the lot. We'll most certainly be going back.

Went for dinner with my partner and what can I say ..........Wow ......the staff were great and the food was delicious. Will definitely be going back very soon

I took my sister for lunch here, she's rather fussy sort but loved the experience.

Our first meal at the Wimborne Pig and the food was every bit as good as it was when it was the Tickled Pig. I totally recommend it, the soup was delicious and the Dover Sole special was superb.

We had a good experience at the Wimborne pig. We were especially pleased with our starter. The staff were friendly and eager to look after our needs. Ambience was good.

Loved the food here. The menu was good value, and all the dishes which came out of the kitchen looked great, and tasted better! Will definitely go back.

Atmosphere was good, full, very good service. The starter (smoked trout) was very good, as was the cheese board. Trouble was the main course "Catch of The Day." It was plaice on a thick bed of cabbage and leeks. It was a "whole" plaice, but one that should have been put back in the water. I don't think we scraped even a dessert spoonful of fish off it per side, if that. But the dish was a poor combination. The bed of wet cabbage and leek and capers would have worked with a chunky fish, like cod or haddock or hake. It was a bad combination with plaice. My companions' plaice was equally very tiny, but the flesh looked white and "dry" as plaice should be. Mine was wet and semi-transparent - basically not cooked properly. I had a severe stomach upset in the middle of the night. I wondered if the culprit was the fish or the cheese, but in the supermarket today, I looked at the fish counter and felt ill. I looked at the cheese counter and felt fine. Also my wife who had exactly the same, but a better-cooked plaice, was fine. I think that nails it to the undercooked fish!

There is always some concern when you hear that there has been a change of ownership with a restaurant that you have previously enjoyed - but have no fear this is still a very good restaurant. I don’t know if it’s the same chef but certainly the chef here is very good. The food is imaginative but not flashy - just good food produced with flair and skill. It’s also worth mentioning the pleasant welcome and service.

Saturday Night at the Wimborne Pig (I called to book, to ensure an early slot) was tremendous. The service is top notch and the atmosphere is very relaxed. Our booking was for four and they managed to, last minute, squeeze an extra two and shuffle things to make space!

I have been to this restaurant before and enjoyed the food however this is the second occasion that I have experienced difficulties in booking a table over the telephone. Having left a message on the answer machine for a call back regarding a reservation for four people, a terse response was received to say that they had already been through their answer machine messages and that most people book online. One suggestion would be to note that bookings can be made online within the answer machine message especially if telephone messages are not responded to. Prezzo was opted for instead with 30% discount!

Fantastic Lunch spent with family. Impressed with the clean, cosy environment and attentive and friendly staff. Food was best I’ve ever had. Will definitely come back again. Thanks for a great afternoon :)

Booked for a table of 8 for my mother’s Birthday and was impressed with the cosy and clean environment. Almost felt that we had our own room. The staff were attentive and very friendly and really added to the experience. Food was excellent and served on time. The best service and food I have ever had. I will definitely be coming back.

This was a lovely evening meal, excellent food, tweeked one of the dishes with no problem as there was something not keen on .The service was good, attentive not fussy,and they knew all about the new menus. Congratulation to you all. It was 'Fantastic'

I found this place when looking for an alternative place to a pub to meet friends for lunch. We were a group of four with a tiny baby in a buggy. When I booked I let them know I would be bringing a buggy and they were so accommodating when we arrived making sure we had a table that gave us enough space tor the baby stuff (you will be surprised how many restaurants don’t do this)

This restaurant is a perfect choice and not overly expensive either so make that leap from your average 'Gastro Pub' and experience the difference! You wont be disappointed..The ambience, hosting and food are head and shoulders above anything else in the area. Highly recommended and note the recent change of ownership which means it's a fresh offering with hosts keen to please. We had the signature pork belly and I would say its the best I have ever enjoyed, Expertly presented and cooked. I will be returning.

We had a warm and friendly welcome in The Wimborne Pig for a family supper.
