PiP is a family and dog friendly café with a separate community room available for hire, in the heart of a beautiful park called ‘The Great Field’ in Poundbury, Dorchester Dorset.
Open every day during the summer, Mondays until 3pm and Tuesday – Sunday until 5pm. In the winter we close on Mondays but are open until 4pm for the rest of the week. We serve breakfasts and lunches including soup and dishes of the day, plus hot and cold drinks, ice creams, waffles and homemade cakes & bakes.
The Community Room is available to book for any event, whether it’s a weekly meeting or club, a charity event, a birthday party or baby shower, or simply a private space for a family/friends gathering. With the large outdoor space, many people book the room and then spill out on to the field to keep all members of the family happy!
Surrounding us, there is a mile long walking, running or cycling track, which is planted with wildflower meadows and over 500 trees. Beside us is the wonderful wooden playpark, ideal for burning some energy any time of the year! On The Great Field has ample space for picnics for large family gatherings and there is also various outside gym and play equipment, a basketball/football court, a zip wire – and it’s all FREE! PiPs and The Great Field is the perfect destination for families, friends, exercise lovers, visitors and local residents of Dorchester and Poundbury.
