Very enjoyable meal on my wife’s birthday. The food was excellent and I appreciated that if you want quality you won’t want defrosted food in five minutes- however it was quite a prolonged wait before we had our main and then our pudding

The service at this restaurant is exceptional and the food is very good would definitely recommend to friends and family. The only suggestion is that the menu should be changed regularly so that we can continually frequent the restaurant over a long period of time otherwise it is a lovely addition to the old high street Poole

The Pickled Berry is a real gem of a restaurant in old Poole. The food is outstanding and although relatively new is already becoming a firm favourite. The cheese soufflé is divine and the tempura prawns were the lightest I’ve ever tasted! As for the crème brûlée - literally to die for!
The staff are absolutely charming too.
Well worth a visit!

We have visited on two occasions now- once for afternoon tea, then subsequently for dinner and were not disappointed either time. We visited following recommendation and liked the bistro setting with attractive and tasteful decor which was further enhanced with pretty Christmas lights on the second visit
The staff were very welcoming , service was good and presentation and quality of food excellent . The home made scones were delicious .
Our only suggestion would be more custard with the dessert ! We will definitely be returning
Access with a wheelchair was a bit difficult because of an uneven floor but a table was allocated which allowed easy access. The cloakroom was up a few steps which may make it inaccessible for some customers .

Loved the food, service was really good and the staff were very friendly.
We would have liked more than 2 rose wines to choose from and it would have been nice to see the wine list online. Slightly disappointed with desserts, the sticky toffee pudding is a small slice of cake, slightly warmed with a small amount of salted caramel sauce - it was nice but this is not a sticky toffee pudding - it would have also been nice to have the option of cream rather than ice cream. Otherwise we really enjoyed our starters and mains - could not fault them - we will be back.

We thought the standard and quality of food was fabulous! Ruben was very stretched being the only serving staff that night and we chose to have wine rather than our initial order of cocktails to save him some time. Our only less positive comment would be that we felt the portions were a little small. Overall we had a lovely time
