My husband had lunch with a colleague last month at the Magic Rolling Pin, and rhapsodized about it so much, I knew I had to see for myself. Today we took his father out for his birthday lunch, and we couldn't have made a better choice! Being the Christmas season, it was very busy, so reservations are recommended. But this... More

My family and I come here for a special treat; the pies, cakes, and scones are my kids' favourites. However, you do have to come earlier in the day, as a lot of desserts are devoured by 1:30, understandably so. Our servers are always sincerely friendly and helpful, very nice people to chat with, who obviously enjoy their job. The... More

I never miss the opportunity to visit this restaurant when I am in Peterborough. It is a step back in time, when life was simple and service was something to be proud of and food was meant to be enjoyed. A friendly knowledgable staff will greet and serve you. The amazing specials are something you don't want to miss--a sure... More

I visit Peterborough a couple times a year to visit family and we usually go out for a bite to eat while I'm in town. This was our first time to The Magic Rolling Pin, and it will not be my last! We had the most delicious lunch, with even more delicious home-baked desserts. Seriously, the baking is a must-have!... More

For a small birthday celebration we went at 3 pm.....they close at 4.30. I called ahead to find out if this would be ok and was assured the full menu would be available. It was empty when we arrived, obviously their rush was over, and they made no attempt to please us at all. Only three desserts were offered. They... More

I visited the Magic Rolling Pin for lunch with a friend this month and was amazed by the beautiful decor, friendly and skilled staff and delicious food. I was honored to have met both the owner and the head chef, who made extra effort to make me feel welcome and offered a combination of amazing customer service and beautifully prepared... More

This place is small, serves delicious lunches and amazing desserts. Dainty cups and saucers as well as lace tablecloths add to the " quaint " ambiance. My only concern is that the tables are so very close to each other.
