Albion Farm Shop & Cafe in Oldham

Visit 31 May 25: 6 4 adults 2 kids. Full English. Plain burger. Blue cheese burger. Poached eggs. The plain burger is mental. Substantial, 8.5/10. Eggs great. Blue cheese super (you must love it to have it). Overall great quality and value. Over 60s should share a burger with fries (hot and crisp). Good condiments. Would come again. Service time a bit long. 4.5 out of 5.0 Earlier visit: Cafe and shop now separated with separate entry points. Makes it better.

Used to Always buy meat from here, Used to be excellent quality much better than any pre packed in super markets,, BUT my last two visits have not been good, Chicken used to be in sealed bags and was very good, they changed supplier and now the chicken is loaded with water and has a funny taste, will not be buying no more chicken from here, Last Visit Lamb shanks were pre packed and very small they used to chop it off the beast when you ordered it fresh not pre packed, looks like they are buying pre packed meat and claiming to be a farm shop, the price of the Lamb shanks was near £10 each, in Sainsburys I can buy two Lamb shanks same price per weight for less than the price of one lamb shank price per weight in the farm shop. No more lamb shanks from here. I would go once a month and load up on my meat spending just over £200, note i say WOULD. It looks like the only items I will purchase from here any more will be the sausage and Burgers but who knows what might change. Sad to see such a good place go crap.

We love visiting here! A fab selection of fresh fruit and veggies! Xxx

Excellent cafe, very popular. Good food and a decent farm shop.

Excellent coffee and cake in lovely surroundings.

Beautiful scenery, a lovely location, and very friendly staff make this a great place to visit. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with both indoor and outdoor seating available—perfect for families. A quick note: if you’re not a fan of strong cheese, the cheese and onion pie might not be for you. I found it a bit too much, but most of my family really enjoyed it, so it might just be a personal preference. Prices are mid-range; two meals came to around £30, which felt fair given the overall experience. Beyond the food, there’s a lot to enjoy: sheep grazing nearby, benches to sit and take in the view, and a fresh farm shop you can explore after your meal. Overall, a lovely spot that’s well worth a visit.

Visited twice in two days. Gorgeous food !! I’d travel many a mile to enjoy the Cheese and Onion pie !!! Just like mum used to make

AWFUL, RUDE, Went here with my 8 month pregnant partner who had never been, had a look around the shop with plans to go cafe, asked if she could sneak through a barrier blocking shop from cafe, lady behind the till was about to allow it when the owner of the place snapped "no, she can walk around" in a very abrupt and rude tone. I told him I wouldn't be eating there because of his attitude, he then continued to shout at me as I crossed the car park, when I got to my car and was leaving he said something again when I asked what he said he fumbled his words and wasnt coherent in the slightest. Other staff seemed lovely but judging by looks on their faces when he spoke to my partner this is the owners Davids usual attitude!

The food in the cafe was really tasty and great quality. All items were reasonably priced. It's the first time I've had rump steak for breakfast and it was delicious. The only thing I would say is I thought there was a bit too much of the sweet potato puree. Overall it was really nice. The farm shop had a great selection of produce.

Cafe is out of this world for breakfast and the meat in the shop is by far the best around..

Staff are great and friendly. The breakfast isn't worth the price tag, and just ok.

Great food, really enjoyable, due to it's popularity it gets very busy but very worthwhile, highly recommended

Excellent fresh local food great location and views

The food was really good but it was very busy.

Food is fantastic views are really 👌

Although it is pretty pricey, the food sold in the cafe was wonderful. Went for the breakfast. Haven't had black pudding that good for a long time. The sausages were sublime, and if someone could tell me how to cook bacon that was crunchy and yet juicy, I'd be a very happy man. The shop, again expensive, but the choice was fabulous. Could have spent an arm and a leg. One final thing. It was a beautiful day today, and to look out over the view from the cafe window made it even better.

We couldn't move all day after eating one of the delicious full breakfast. Absolutely amazing quality food, friendly staff and not over priced. Plenty of parking and the farm shop is great

Great farm shop and cafe. Lots of fresh produce available, full butchers, deli counter, large selection of frozen foods, 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.

Stunning location and amazing food. Friendly staff. Would highly recommend and will definitely be visiting again.

Fabulous place. Food is fresh and made perfectly. Highly recommended.

Good food and coffee. The cafe was quite quiet when I was there even though lots of cars on the car park. Amazing views over Saddleworth from the seating area.

Nice farm shop, prices are a bit steep but what we bought was good quality.

Great breakfast with a wonderful view. Previously visited and completed their feedback form, our daughter was really happy that they had taken on her comments and thoroughly enjoyed her breakfast today.

Food moderate and pricy. Lovely view.

Stunning views whilst eating the wonderful breakfast bagel… food is so so yummy & delicious We had all kinds of breakfast!! Honeycomb milkshake latte everything was simply Lovely💕🫶🏼👍😎sat in the sun with breath taking views 💕😎

Great range of products if a little pricey but on the doorstep.

Stunning scenery, amazing service staff, delectable plates, truly every single bite was cooked to almost perfection. My favourite bites - mushrooms were cooked perfectly Hash brown not soggy Cheese and onion pie was something else The milkshake and the coffee because of the fresh milk and fresh cream and ice cream made it thick and creamy, I would come all the way from city centre just for another shake. The drive up was amazing The antique fluff ball basking on the menu table is the best dining companion or distraction you could ever ask for And again the staff are absolutely the kindest and most genuine people I've had the luck of being looked after by, both Ellen and Amy gave the best food and drink suggestions and also looked after us when ignorant comments were made by a random ignorant guy. Will com back often.

Visited the cafe, staff was rude and condescending, food was cold and waited 40 minutes for food to come out. People that ordered after me got there food before i got mine.

Lovely cafe and farm shop ... something for everyone . Highly recommend a visit.

Been here a few times over recent months ... was initially fantastic and we returned and was ok/ish not that bad to write it off but not as good as it was... went today mid afternoon ... place virtually empty... half of seats closed off but plenty of tables still full of dishes from earlier... stood and waited to be seated as per the sign and ignored until after we helped ourselves to menus and sat down ... ordered 2 full and 1 small breakfast ... noise from kitchen sounded like teenagers having a party/fight/argument and couldnt make out which...drinks arrived with cups dirty and no sugar my wife had to shout over noise 4 times to get the attention of waitress to change cup... ... ... breakfasts arrived ...poached eggs solid... fried eggs missing ... black pudding unbreakable... tomatoes looked like sun dried as they had been held so long sausage undercooked and bacon cold ... spoke to assistant manager who seemed frightened to say anything to chef...new eggs arrived all undercooked and snotty ... new black pudding was ok ... If your going to stay open through afternoon then surely customers should get same service as your busy periods ... £50 on 3 brekkys that majority should have been binned at end of lunch time service and non of which should be served. Toast and mushrooms only good things there Offered a free cake if we have any more complaints so we left most of it and left. Waitress and assistant manager tried but severely let down by the kitchen ... Btw your food counter area is filthy. Very let down

Absolutely delicious lunch with my daughter with a big choice of meals. Farm shop wonderful

Visited today, Sunday 9th March to the cafe for the first time. Mega busy, not sure why they can’t have people waiting the tables to order. You have to stand in a queue for 20/25 mins to be served, then wait the same amount of time for food. Coffee wasn’t the best, I had the big breakfast and for a farm shop, nothing tasted high quality. For £16 for the big breakfast it was over priced for the quality of food, when earlier in the week we were at Diggle Lock, not too far away and for the same price had the best breakfast we’d ever had. Wouldn’t return unfortunately.

So happy to see all the improvements to get back to where it used to be, congratulations making it back from Covid, excellent food and excellent service.

I will never eat again here as the food was not good at all ,onion rings just covered in loads of batter and oil needed to be changed. informed staff they did nothing a steak sanwich terrible we payed £44 for 2 adults 2 kids for very poor food gone really down hill dont waste your money go else where ,as all the food we had we left most of it..

Excellent quality though slightly pricey.

Great food and a perfect farm shop

Nice ingredients used in the food,the place gets very noisy,and cold,as the main entrance keys icy blasts in this time of year,but no denying,they do use quality ingredients in their food.

Good range of farm foods. Love the milk and pork pies. Meat pricy but good quality. Sheep and animals in adjoining fields.

Visited the cafe today for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed the food. Catherine was so welcoming and kind ❤️

Went to the cafe. Menu says 'freshly squeezed juice' £1.75. After paying lady pulls out a carton from concentrate. The menu item I wanted was out of stock. Instead of offering a refund she insisted we chose something of similar value and charged us an extra £3. Went for an ice cream after. They were about £4. Cones were kept outside in a bin and were totally stale. I think this placed used to be alright but has probably gone down hill.

Popped in today for some Lunch, ordered 2 x Steak and Eggs and a child's pasta. We were told it was a 30 minute wait on food, we ordered our food at 13:20pm, whilst waiting we overheard the staff saying they've ran out of steak, funny as there's a butchers there, they'd ran out of Eggs, and pasta. They sell these in the shop next door. Nevertheless we continued to wait, after an hour we asked a member of staff, we were asked to wait another 10 minutes. Finally the food arrived, they'd given us a steak knife, but they had already sliced the steak for us, unsure why, the sweet potato puree was lumpy and the pouched egg cold to touch 1hr and 20 minutes for food, poor service. The table wasn't clean, past food dried in the groves of the table no.1 Plate size for £16 was very poor 😢 Would I recommend.... No 👎

Just been to the cafe with my son. Service was poor. Staff wandering around ignoring customers who are standing waiting to be served at the counter. I ordered 2 sandwiches and coffees which came to £34! I ordered a hot beef sandwich with caramelised onions and gravy. This is what came out. A dry ciabatta with half of it filled with roast beef. No onions and a dribble of gravy! The service and food definitely wasn’t worth how much it cost. I won’t be going again and I’ll make sure I will be telling family and friends about this crappy experience.

Went to Albion farm for breakfast wasn’t worth 12 pound that was not good for money toast came already buttered 1 piece won’t b going again

Great food and the shop was amazing

Great food, fantastic butcher. Plus lots more!!

Food is always lovely and staff are great.Only pop in farm shop.occasionally but the variety of food sold is wonderful and what a display!!!!

Great place for breakfast and lunch. Be quick...it gets busy!

SHOCKING! HYGIENE WARNING !!! - DO NOT BUY any meat handled in house Casually touching all raw (slimy) chicken breast without a glove ,sealing the bag ( same hand ) tainting it in the process and touching everything else needed to complete the sale, then proceed to use a ( what appeared to be designated ) cloth cleaning both hands and processing raw beef pushing with the same hand !!! that had to be first as it's probably the first things customers should read, now for the whole experience : The whole overall place is well placed with a nice view, but it appears minimal effort has been put into it (from design, to some staff and training) , with hygiene terrible lacking, we had to return the cutlery and checked 3-5 new cups until we found ONE that was clean and not smelling bad, even then my partner almost puked due to the cup not being clean, ( not sure if we were the lucky winners of the dirty dish roulette of what but given the older lady attitude and nonchalance I'd say she couldn't care less if we got sick or what, she got paid) , went back to and older lady to inform her about the issue (after previously we found 3-5 dirty cups) and she appeared annoyed I'd return with an issue, showing 0 care for H&S and out of curiosity I'd asked her what she plans to do about this whole issue, to which she replied with a confused " what do you mean, do" clearly showing no care in the world for H&S. (The cauliflower parmesan cheese and burger were good, unfortunately we ate prior to seeing how the meat was handled, otherwise we would have left that instance - and just to be clear we will never return here) If they would have gotten a H&S inspector see what I did , they would have probably been shut that moment.

Beautiful little visit with family. Food was delicious 😋

Fab place to pick up some shopping g

Loved our meal x Cheese & onion pie was the best 10/10 ❤️ staff went above and beyond x will be back again deffo x Thank you so much for helping me over the phone with my forgetful mind x 😊

Loved this place, the Cafe and shop!!

Great choices and lots of different produce. Fab cheese counter and butchers section. Would recommend a visit

Really nice staff and great selection. Couldn't find anything for celiac or gluten free though hence a star knocked off but some good choices of food gifts for Xmas.

Great place called on a drive past... Great farm shop and cafe. Also would like to call and have a beer and food in the turkey shed 👍

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 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

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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

All very nice with excellent choice of food.

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 😊

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

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
