Albion Farm Shop & Cafe in Oldham

Ordered two different meals from the menu. Both meals arrived with several items missing. When I complained, their response was incredibly off hand and I won't be returning.

Amazing butchers, food and meats are reasonably priced, lots of choice and the staff are super friendly. Breakfasts are great too if you fancy a treat

Great food, friendly staff and fantastic views! What's not to love? We will definitely be back!

Food, service, staff and cleanliness in the cafe, very good. However, apart from the tea and the sausage everything else on my plate was ‘just warm’. A little disappointed. We usually go to Gordon Riggs for Sunday breakfast. Over the 20yrs of visit there, there has never been one single meal any of our party have ever been disappointed with. For the price of the food at Albion Farm, get the simple principals right. Serve hot food HOT please, not much to ask. Sort out your toilets too please. Only one ‘working’ and that’s not flushing at all. Disgusting. End of rant. NCA!!!

Went for a lunch midweek. There was no problem getting a table but filled up quickly. Food was locally sourced and cooked well.Good menu and a specials board as well.

A late lunch was just lovely here. Steak and ale pasty was superb. Good portions and reasonable prices. Staff are really friendly and helpful, one guy called Fred was really kind and, helpful. Farm shop was well stocked and burgers from the Butcher's are very good. I would recommend the Dirty Burger's.

Nice little farm shop & cafe. The breakfast was really nice and the staff are really friendly and helpful would definitely go back again.

Cafe looked nice Bit expensive like most farm shops. Fruit and veg is good In a lovely area

Love coming here, meat and veg are great quality and the view is very scenic

Great really fresh food good service smashing shop

Expensive and disappointing meal.

Excellent service friendly staff nice food

Food is delicious staff are friendly and helpful. Shop has lots of lovely food .outside seating with lovely views

Great produce, what they serve in the cafe is sold in the farm shop. Loved it.

Great big breakfast, with proper size slice of black pudding. No reservations required, or possible Group of 10 found tables immediately, very flexible and friendly staff

The butchering staff were fantastic. Nothing was a problem I called to shop for rack of lamb and pork baby back ribs. They had just taken a delivery of both, and kindly butcher them as I waited. They look fantastic. Now that’s what I call service with a smile. The baby backs are in the smoker at moment.

IT'S Just a GREASY spoon Cafe, VERY Over PRICED for Sure, Very POOR Service, DRIVE on By if YOU VALUE you TUMMY & WALLET, Lots of choice in UPPERMILL for sure many CHEAPER as well, 👎👎 Never again.

The food was good however part of my order didn’t come because the machine in the kitchen was faulty and didn’t print my burger so the kitchen didn’t make it. It wasn’t a fault of the staff which is why I’m still giving it 4 stars and I would still recommend going there, just make sure that they are making your entire order.

Lovely place for both sitting and eating a fabulous meal, and for making purchases of any number of wonderful local produce items in their well stocked shop.

Friendly staff, good food, rustic dining In door and out and lovely views over hills and valley!

We called in for the first time today and had an amazing meal in the cafe and did a little shopping too. The food was really tasty and the only problem was deciding what to eat. All the staff were really friendly and helpful and we will definitely be back. Try the salt and pepper chips… thank me later 😊

All very nice with excellent choice of food.

Brilliant place with a great farm shop, cafe and bar.

Service was horrible, staff were rude and food was average.

If you are middle class or upper class then yes best sausages ever however I'm not I'm working class and i simply couldn't afford the cheapest food on the menu toasted tea cake 4pounds each no it's not for me it's like working class not very welcome it's far to expensive for what is being served save your money run for the hills

Great milk. Range of cooked meats, cheese and pies. Love sausage rolls and pork pies.

Food is really nice, a little overpriced tk be honest but well worth a visit even if its just to the farm shop

Went in for a browse, the items in the shop were reallly expensive for my own taste. The ice cream was great, staff were friendly. We went around 4pm and there was plenty of parking and toilets on site.

Went today to meet friends ordered a side portion of onion rings to accompany my meal. Please can somebody at Albion farm explain the cost of £4.50 for 4 onion rings? Other farm shops not far away can serve between eight and ten per portion for less than what Albion farm are charging.

Worst cafe I've ever been to, long waiting time. Waited 2 hrs for a rip off breakfast costing £14 + £3.60 for a coffee. No table service & treat customers like cattle. Completely unacceptable! Then we looked around the farm shop & was horrified at the extortionate prices! Never going back

I’ve been many times before but have recently taken some guests from abroad to Albion farm and they did a great job of showing classic British food in the best way.

Good choice of fresh produce. But not happy about the cheese bought it just over a week ago, and mouldy already. Supermarket cheese last longer. Which is a let down.

Arrived at a Albion Farm Cafe and Farm Shop, and they do not allow small puppy in the cafe, I was greeted at the door by a young server who refused us entry, I know it is their choice but seriously a FARM SHOP, refusing entry to 3 paying guests and a small Golden Retriever is ridiculous! We were allowed to sit in the rain, but there was very little cover and only tables for 2 in the shelter. If you have dogs do not visit in a rainy day as you will not be allowed in, but cats are allowed to wander the cafe freely!

A fabulous find by my daughter who lives in Didsbury , we arrived around mid day for an early lunch unfortunately they were unable to do the lunch menu but provided the breakfast menu . Scrambled eggs was the order of the day very nicely cooked . The coffee was excellent , my daughter had a slice of Bakewell Cherry Cake ( we shared !) Nice find hope to visit another time !

Great Sunday out, all day breakfast 😘, then the farmers market, the butcher was brilliant, funny and informative, we bought several cuts of meat including the lamb wheels, great value for money @£10 kg we had two, One each for £4.75 cooked the way the butcher recommended and they were delightful and tasty, it's about 6 miles from us and worth every penny to travel there. Well worth a visit.

This place is reasonably priced for hot food. There is good accessibility for prams here and so wheelchair users could visit however the car parking may be difficult to wheelchair users as it is gravel and hilly. The shop is good a little pricey but you are paying farm shop prices.

My first experience. I would not go again. The Salmon was extremely over salted. I went to get a glass of water, due to the level of salt and was ignored for three minutes. The young woman didn't acknowledge me or say she would be with me shortly. Poor service in general. Not very welcoming. Mushroom wasn't seasoned and the bagel was difficult to cut and seemed stale. General overall experience wasn't pleasant.

Good food but the ambience of previous visits has gone. Rustic table and chairs, don’t do it any favours, farm shop although well stocked, I find expensive!

Went on a whim.was not disappointed by the produce on offer here. Well layed out with very friendly staff

A bit out of the way, lovely location and good coffee

First time hear and will be the last. Breakfast came out luke warm the sausages dry and like they'd been reheated more than once. The 'poached' egg was more like a boiled egg not one bit runny. Toast was inedible it was that hard and cold. Bacon was also luke warm. Became obvious why when my husband peered into the kitchen and seen all the stuff premade in buffet style containers. Expected a lot more quality than that at a farm shop especially with the prices charged. Very disappointed especially after driving 40 minutes to get there. You need to do better at those prices. We could have gone to a restaurant chain for a buffet breakfast if that's what we wanted and got half the price. Expected freshly cooked.

Brilliant breakfast. Proper belly buster and reasonably priced.

Superb choice of fresh products

Lovely place to visit, staff are always so friendly, polite, chatty and helpful. The butchers section is phenomenal for portion size and value for money.

Well I was warned about this place however I had to see for myself. I frequently visit farm shops all over the north west searching for the best produce for me and my young family as I refuse to shop at the run of the mill supermarkets and this is by far the most overpriced place I have found ever. Someone said to me be careful going there as you'll pay the Saddleworth tax. I thought "no" they can't overcharge you for locally sourced fruit, vegetables and meat but my word was I wrong. Not only was it horrifically over priced but also not very fresh. Albion farm shop you should be ashamed with yourselves for charging the extortionate prices you do to people just trying to feed there families fresh produce. YOU NEED TO DO BETTER

Amazing food an staff in the cafe and in the farm shop to lovely talking to the butcher about the meats I love this place and go very often xx

Went today, ordered the special which was quiche, served stone cold from the fridge, very disappointing, warmth would have improved the flavor and meant my friend could eat hers. Sadly disappointed today.

Rainy Saturday Morning, great view over Oldham with low hanging clouds, lovely breakfast 😋 and atmosphere. Very cosy... Don't forget to go look at the impressive farm shop too. Would recommend.

If I could do a quarter star I would. Went there specifically for my my son to have a bacon sandwich and because it was after 11.30 he couldn't. I asked if they could put a slice of bacon in a bun and was told we can't do that. Also there was a table in a disabled parking space restricting the number of disabled people who can access the cafe. It was a nice day and no one was sat it??!!!

Great place to shop and eat well laid out fantastic produce and staff who care helpful and yes they are right the potato salad was a meal in its self. I won't mention the rhubarbcookies cos I want them all for my wife.

I had heard a lot of good things about this place but it didn't live up to the hype. About average considering the expensive prices.

Coffee cold. Crumpets thin and hard. Some lovely foods in farmshop. Great cheese n onion pie and traybakes

Will not be returned to Albion Farm after being turned away with a Doona. Albion Farm Shop & Cafe have responded to another customer saying it's for health and safety- but it's funny they were happy for me to be in there 3 days postpartum with said doona and baby in the Turkey Shed. We have been frequenting the cafe for years, but that will be our last visit. Abysmal. And before anybody responds with 'accidents etc' the server actually said 'not enough space'.

Very good food and good quality but very expensive!

Lovely shop, like having a good look round. Cafe serves up some lovely food too.

Find was delicious little walk round shop

Quite a wait from ordering to receiving food. The cabbage on my wife's meal was burnt. That said purchases from the butchers were excellent.

Great food but poor attitude from staff - public shaming any bad review on Facebook like a child. Take it as constructive criticism and use it to improve.

I’d avoid in the future poorly cooked food and dirty toilets . . Granted got fabulous views which is only positive I can find . We ate in the cafe .food was expensive and I had to send part of my meal back as cold when it came . When it was returned it was cremated . To use the toilet you have to leave the cafe and go outside . The toilets are housed in a scruffy building . Toilets were unclean and had no hot water . Disgraceful . Overall poor I won’t be returning .

Brilliant produce and friendly staff

food was ok, service good, but some breakfast meals a tad overpriced i think. overall though, was disappointed by the farm shop, the shop and surroundings such as the entrance look in dire need of some maintenance/care, tried without fail to gain the attention of the lady on the till to enquire about the price of something, she was chatting on the phone for ages with no acknowledgement of me waiting so in the end i gave up....lastly, im all for paying for good quality produce but some of the prices are eye wateringly expensive, so all in all not overly impressed

We have just been for a breakfast/brunch at the Albion farm shop. This is our third time here and it will most likely be our last. The previous two times were somewhat substandard in terms of food quality but this time for the lunch menu was absolutely abysmal. We waited 40 minutes for a small breakfast and the rarebit plate which I ordered. What I was served, for £13 was one piece of basically cheese on toast. Yes there was some salad and a small coleslaw and chips. Not something I would consider a meal, let alone pay £13 for. The topping was lukewarm and not forgetting to add that the bread was not toasted and "aired", meaning it was dry, at one point I struggled to swallow. Not something I usually struggle with. We would have also walked out long before the food arrived due to the length of the wait however since we have to pay upon ordering we had no option other than to lose out on our money. Wouldn't recommend I'm afraid. It is freezing inside the cafe. Also clean the outside toilets. 👌🏼

Ordered Liver + onions burnt liver, cabbage burnt, mash over salty. Coffee had burnt taste + very strong. Dont think will be coming back.

Forgot our order so we waited for over half an hour. We was offered 2 hot drinks on the house.

Exceptional Farm Shop Experience with Outstanding Service Review: I recently visited, and I must say it was an extraordinary experience from start to finish. First and foremost, the food quality at the café exceeded my expectations. From freshly baked pastries to hearty sandwiches, every bite was a delight. The cozy ambiance added to the overall enjoyment of my meal. The selection of goods in the shop was impressive. From locally sourced produce to artisanal cheeses and homemade jams, there was something for everyone. I was particularly impressed by the variety and quality of their offerings, which made it easy to find exactly what I was looking for. However, what truly sets Albion farm shop apart is their amazing butcher department, especially Brad. I had the pleasure of interacting with Brad, who went above and beyond to ensure I had the perfect steak for my Valentine's evening dinner. Despite the shop closing, Brad waited for me outside and personally assisted me in selecting the finest cut of meat. His knowledge and dedication to customer service were truly remarkable, and it's experiences like this that make me a loyal customer. Overall, my visit to Albion farm shop was nothing short of exceptional. From the café to the farm shop and the outstanding service at the butcher department, every aspect exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this establishment to anyone looking for high-quality food and exceptional service.

went here today into the cafe had the Ragged pudding which was so good also when eating here you might see the farm cat asleep on the window cill also used the shop as i like Longley farm yogs will be back

Whats happened to the place? Used to be great. We went for breakfast and had to sit with our coats on as the place is so cold. When the food came it was luke warm and a serious drop in quality. £13.50 for a breakfast and you dont even get a brew for that. Over priced and poor quality food. Penny pinching if you ask me which is a shame as it used to be so good.

Service was very professional and helpful, got the big breakfast which I enjoyed and also a flat white which was a very nice coffee. Really nice selection of foods, not too much to choose from good choice for kids too. Friendly atmosphere as well as a nice one, loads of seating areas, however if you get here on a popular day like weekends then expect to wait for a table as this place gets busy as expected, worth the wait and food is served very fresh and also worth the wait for that. Highly recommend and will be going again. I will say one thing though, there wasn't any baby change there which let's it down and the disabled toilet was out of order and not one of the staff were aware which I think is bad.

Good farm shop and cafe... food was a good quality but Not exceptional, very pricy, Location great, lovely views, parking on hill, caution needed

Somethings were very reasonably priced. Some a little more expensive but everything was very good. The BIG breakfast was very filling!

Amazing breakfast, freshly cooked and very clean. The view of the mountains is breath taking. A farm shop attached next door selling all fresh products and reasonable prices. £12 for the large breakfast.

Went on Sunday for the first time in nearly a year and the food wasn’t up to scratch I’m afraid. The ‘chicken sandwich’ was shredded/stringy dark meat, not the breast meat I assumed would be served. My husband didn’t rate his gammon, egg and chips either. Small cut of gammon and greasy, barely warm chips. Won’t be rushing back

Been coming here for years, but today will be the last. This is the owner causing a scene in the cafe after me asking for new bacon as it was swimming in grease! I was politely dealing with a member of staff when he decided to interfere, he was very rude and slammed my plate back down on the table and said I’m getting nothing else and refused me a refund! Never known anything like it from an owner! Can’t fault the rest of the staff but he really needs to sort his customer service skills out! Shocking service!

We have enjoyed Albion farm many times it’s a place we love to come, we ordered a full English breakfast, when it came there was no hash browns and the bacon was greasy. When we asked for new bacon the owner came over and told us the bacon always comes like that and there’s nothing wrong with it, when we told him we didn’t like bacon swimming in grease he told us we couldn’t have a refund and slammed the plate back on the table and stormed off. We found this very upsetting and distressing in front of multiple people, as we usually enjoy our experience here but we would definitely not come back if that is how the owner thinks that is the right way to behave. We were also informed this was not the first he has behaved this way as he had done it with another customer the day before.

Breakfast for a party of 12, friendly staff. Excellent value for money. Huge portions.

Not been for a while. What a difference from a year ago..£3 for a small bunch of coriander.?? Other things not priced. Didn't dare ask. Meat counter looked bare. Will stick to my regular farm shop. Sorry

This is my favourite place from now on. I heard a lot about the place from friend and coworkers. I visited the place twice last week. Once for a coffee and a cake with a friend, and second time for a breakfast. Food is delicious, staff are friendly and the cat… is my favourite thing ever. I am an animal lover so I really enjoyed the cat strolling around! The farm shop can make you leave small fortune on such delicious items! It’s so worth it! Amongst all of the food I purchased was a homemade, humongous scotch egg. My partner said it was the best he ever had! There is a turkey shed with live music and the butchers. It is truly a One Stop Shop! I am planning to take my family back for some lovely breakfast/lunch meal!

Great farm shop and cafe. Lots of fresh produce available, full butchers, deli counter and locally sourced ice-creams, chocolates, cakes and sweets. Lots of different condiments, alcohol, gifts, the list is endless. The food in the cafe is delicious, large menu, you won't be disappointed.

Expensive but the portions are enormous and quality is good great coffee too

Got all of our Christmas food from here, was all excellent.

The stars of the show at Albion Farm shop are the butcher’s counter and the pie counter. The meat is reared by them or farmed near them. The pies are stunning. There are a lot of other packaged goods - condiments and bottles etc. Some of them a little over-priced. There are other fresh goods - vegetables and some breads. The issue, I guess, unlike a supermarket with superior stock control, ensuring these goods are within their use by dates is a challenge. We bought ciabatta which, the next morning was mouldy. Same happened with some vine tomatoes a few weeks ago. Go for the drive out and pick up the hand made beef or lamb burgers. Really superior flavours.

The farm shop is ok as farm shops go. Full of local produce. However the cafe was very disappointing. I got the rarebit which was undercooked. The toast was barely toasted and topping hardly cooked. The chips were also soggy and greasy possibly because the oil wasn't hot enough. Overall £13.50 for 1 slice of poor cheese on bread and soggy chips. I won't be eating there again. Sorry

Great food again absolutely lovely

Good farm food and great views. Very popular so can get busy.

Cracking breakfast as usual. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Well what can I say I haven’t been to the farm for a few weeks due to work commitments I went today and the butchery was very underwhelming I travel 20 mile round trip to get there monthly I guess I spend £80 on meats but found today the butcher has been replaced as staff said he was to modern and forward thinking trying lots of different things which I must say were all very tasty and especially this time of year the range would be full of meat spoilt for choice the new butcher boring dull none of the usual tasty sausages burgers kebabs I’m afraid this doesn’t warrant the long journey as I could get all that was there at any butchers. Bring back the old staff

The soup is always good here, and the fish burger was tasty!

Lovely cafe we just had a coffee but the food being brought out looked delicious. Good farm shop too

Fantastic service. I only waited four minutes for a pot of tea and nine minutes for three cooked breakfasts We were on a time limit, so we were watching the clock lol. Delicious food served hot. Highly recommended to all. Great chef's.

Update as of Sunday 10th December 10am What on earth has happened to this cafe? We had a very poor experience in the cafe at Albion farm. A big breakfast and the light breakfast for my wife. When it arrived,all the food except sausage was only luke warm and the toast was hard and cold.By the time I had sorted out salt and sauce it was all cold. I asked for my 2 eggs to be replaced as they were just plain cold so they brought me 2 more eggs that were also luke warm. I tried dipping my hard toast in the now cold second set of eggs and gave up on my cold breakfast that cost £13.80p I let the polite young serving girl know the breakfast was of poor quality and she apologized but offered no refund. At this cafe you have to order and pay first ! I have had about 30 breakfasts from Albion farm but this will be my last. Lime Kiln cafe or diggle lock are close and offer better quality food that is hot so I will get my breakfasts anywhere but Albion farm

Fabulous place. Highly recommend. Decent prices. Gorgeous food. Good service.

The very highest quality produce, meats and foodstuffs, and a massive choice.

Very expensive 10.50 for a breakfast roll but the coffee is very nice

We were admittedly late in the day for our visit. So it was understandable that some items were not available. But upon finding this out.. We left. We left because... Despite it being cold out, the radiators were off. I felt one, it was stone cold. A lady and her daughter sat on one side of the room, still in outdoor clothing with hats on, trying to eat. But... They still want to charge you a small fortune for the food. While an exaggeration I could easily conceive of my food freezing on the way from plate to mouth. There's no way it could remain at an adequate temperature for the required time to eat it. Then... Access to the farm shop. There's a clear path from the cafe to the shop that's inside. But oh no no... Its blocked off, so you have to go outside in the freezing weather, walk the whole way around the building, to enter through a poorly lit freezing cold section, to then go back inside 5m away from where you started. But again, they have the nerve to charge a small fortune for the stuff. How this place does trade is beyond me. The customer is extremely low on their list of priorities. I will say again that we did not end up ordering food so it may be worth the premium. But to sit in the most rustic freezing barn possible, and pay those prices, it had better be divine ambrosia.

Very busy as it was Christmas Market weekend. Staff very friendly. Pricy but good quality goods.

Great shop, good quality local sourced food

Visited for a little pre-Christmas shopping. Staff friendly and helpful. Ended up buying things we didn't know we wanted including jars of moonshine.

Great food, lovely place to come and sit in or outside.
