Applegarth Farm in East Hampshire

Very summery menu for Dec quiches, slaws and salads. Although delicious. Service slow 30 mins wait for one course.

Lovely Christmas market thank you

Really wonderful ploughman's lunch, large portions and so fresh and tasty

Comfortable seating, pricey small lunches, with good service but food tasted fairly bland. Toilets could do with smartening up. Bill comes with 12.5% optional service charge added.

Quite disappointed in the breakfast as we expect quality at the price we paid. Full English - fried eggs were over cooked and slightly burnt, bacon thin and over cooked, mainly juice and about 12 baked beans. Poached eggs were hard and no runny yolk and tasted of vinegar.

Would have been 5 for food, but 1 egg sent back as not cooked. Soon replaced and was very good. Little atmosphere as very quiet and was early morning and room quite cold.

Another lovely meal & experience at Applegarth. Very lucky to have this close by

The food here is fantastic and the portions very generous. Staff were friendly and welcoming. They took into account my dietary requests with ease so I couldn’t fault this place at all. Fantastic!

Had lunch yesterday with a friend. The food here is always so fresh and tasty. Had soup and quiche with side of coleslaw and chips, it was all really delicious. Love the fire and always nice to buy a few things at the shop on the way out. Staff were lovely ☺️

Almost £5 for the smallest piece of cake I've ever seen served anywhere. It was nice enough but, yea, £16 for two coffees and two pieces of cake is not great.

Great little shop of fresh produce and preserves

Great Sunday roast. Staff not overly friendly but our waitress was nice.

Good service, decent coffee and the best pork chop I have ever had. Highly recommended

Nice car park, plenty of spaces today, really helpful staff (my wife has a range of allergies) and delicious food... Nice shop as well

Incredible food- massive portions, fresh and delicious! The serving team where so friendly and humourous Even on a rainy day it was cozy, bright and such a warm atmosphere!

Lovely market and Sunday Roast!

I had some cake, delicious, but the portion was small. I mentioned it to one of the waiters but was ignored with a nod of the head.

Lovely food! Amazing service and setting. Strongly recommend.

Great lunch in charming atmosphere

We were going to buy some cheese as a friend had recommended the shop with the intention of going on to somewhere for afternoon tea. However after seeing their lunch menu we changed our plans and went for lunch. It was really good and nicely presented.

Been meaning to try this place for a while. Sorry to say not that overwhelmed. We ordered a buffalo tomato salad thing as a started quite a small portion but tasty. 1 burger meal which looked great, shame there wasn't any chicken burger options. I had the pork with LOT'S of lentils & odd bits of carrot/cabbage with literally a few stalks of spinach. The pork was small & 2 pieces the crackling was rock hard. My drink of ginger & chilli had no chilli. The outside area was small but they had work's so bit grotty. Farmshop inside was nice but very pricey.

We went for breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed it. Great menu offering everything you could wish for. The eggs were exactly as requested and the sides were all correct! Not always a given with multiple (fussy!) breakfast orders. Loved the bacon - need to know where it was from, and a great cup of tea. In fact it was all good. Our waitress Amy was very helpful and friendly. We will be back!

This was our third visit to the Farm. The coffee and setting was lovely as always, however we ordered the steak and, although it was cooked as we had asked and the chimichuri was pleasant, the meat itself was gristly and tough. My wife and I both had a steak and they were both very tough and we were both pulling out unchewable parts of the steak. Not acceptable for a £22 steak at lunch in my opinion .

Went here this Saturday just gone at about 4pm, from the moment we entered we received terrible customer service. Hardly a smile in sight, very much a stiff upper look. I wouldnt go here again, really quite standoffish and disinterested in any customer service on this day and at this time. Perhaps we stopped you from going home. 4 of us in this party felt this was the experience, I wont be going back.

Had some really nice roasts here recently and tried the tasty summer Sunday BBQ menu today. Good stuff in the farm shop and nice coffee.

Went for a 10.15am brunch for the very first time me after a lovely dog walk at Waggoners Wells. Coffee made by Katie was fantastic. Cooked breakfast was delicious using locally sourced produce. Staff were warm and welcoming and made the whole experience a special occasion. Dylan the Springer was welcomed too and personal water bowl provided. We will be back!

Popped in for tea and cake late afternoon and had a great choice. Friendly server and a relaxed atmosphere.

Great food! Something different and good. Compliments to the chef

Sadly, not special any more. Inside looks the same but outside looks tired and neglected. We made the choice to sit outside as the weather was fine. Breakfast menu as good as ever, lots of choice and the service was attentive. The food let the side down and based on reputation and our enjoyment of countless previous visits, our choice of venue today was based on that- the food. For £45 for 2 breakfasts incl drinks and service, it was disappointing. The poached eggs were “over” so not flowing runny yolks and the bread, though good quality, was skits bread- not toasted. I only realised after 5 mins into the breakfast so too late to send back and start again. A shame as the eggs and bread (which was on menu as toast) were the centre of the breakfast. The sausage and black pudding did however taste good (local produce). Mixed feelings, but won’t rush back.

we are new to area thought we would try out your place we enjoyed your food we will come again maybe sit outside with our dog I was recommended by John ( tree surgeon ) cheers Martin

Wonderful atmosphere and lovely service. Unfortunately the vegan Sunday roast was really disappointing - no flavour to talk about with almost raw veggies and a dribble of gravy. No vegan dessert options available. However my friends very much enjoyed the meat roast options and brownies. Fingers crossed next time will be better!

I found this place to be disappointing. It’s trying very hard to be something it’s not, with a tricky menu which wasn’t executed well, overpriced and on top of that, an arrogant, unfriendly little waiter with absolutely no bedside manner. This kid should not be front of house at all. To top it off, the food was burnt and there was no wifi, which made popping in for some breakfast and checking the daily emails, impossible. There is an arrogance in this place and the atmosphere less than friendly.

Very nice deli and cafe, close to the A3

It's not just the lovely food with perfect proportions (generous amounts of avocado on the toast...not the scrapings you get elsewhere!), or the welcoming fire in the hearth on a cold February morning, it's the calm and friendly welcome, the 'nothing is too much trouble', way they serve you. It's the way they come to the table to take your order and seem to know just the right moment to do so. Really good service, made to look effortless, takes a huge amount of work and commitment. Thanks to the team at Applegarth Farm - I was frazzled when I arrived but totally calm when I left... coffee was lovely too!

Arrived on time. We got pointed to our seat which wasn't very nice. No menus until almost 10mins after we sat down. And it was about 20mins before we could order our drinks. A different server then came over and served us for the rest of the afternoon. Again, she was not overly friendly, neither staff members looked like they wanted to be there and wouldn't engage in friendly conversation. It took around 40mins for the food to arrive. My wife didn't like hers, the risotto was very wet but that's personal preference. I had the pie which was very good. Pictures online show a very difficult place in person. It's not a swish and the farm shop is more of a farm stable. Very small and doesn't hold a lot and is over priced compared to other local stores and farm shops. Needless to say won't be visiting again Ample parking, food was nice though.

Nice location, food was actually really good quality and feels really homemade and priced competitively. One very important thing I’d like to say though(in my opinion), is although the service was good, I didn’t expect to be paying a 12.5% service automatically added to the bill. I mean it’s a farm shop restaurant not a gastropub or fine dining in the city etc. There is nothing exceptional that is delivered on the service front. I am a big believer that gratuity should be earned by going above and beyond expectations. Like everyone, I know it’s “optional”, I’ll always pay it if it’s added but just didn’t expect a farm shop restaurant to be doing this that’s all. It really seems to be the trend these days and in my opinion it is not right, but I do understand the reason behind it. That’s the only reason I didn’t leave 5 star, and also the reason it won’t be on the top of my list of places to revisit.

I was really impressed with the quality, quantity and variety of things on the menu I could have chosen and enjoyed. We chose 4 different options all were very good. Will definitely go back

Visited for a Sunday lunch. The food was great but the serving staff were slightly uninterested and there wasn’t much atmosphere. Perhaps would be better on a summers day.

Wow really had high expectations for this place, but was really disappointed. I have provided feed back to the manager for the visit survey, not response. Drinks were fine and the bread nibbles was excellent. The Sunday lunch mains were not upto standards. Chicken supreme was dry, gravy served in messy jug was very watery. I ordered the pork belly, asked the waiter will there be cracking and he said yes. The dish arrived waiter apologized for no cracking 😱. The pork belly was hence fatty and gelatinous a difficult eat. Also the bottom half of the belly was tough and chewy. The apple sauce was missing. The vegetables were fine, cauliflower cheese was tasty. When I went to pay the bill, I got another apology for no crackling. There was no good will, still took payment including the service charge. I was not going to review this place as I was waiting to see if could resolve the issues with the manager. This has not happened. Merry Christmas!

We waited over an hour for our food to come (one of my friends only ordered a croissant) with no updates at all along the way. They said there was a delay due to it being busy but there were empty tables inside. We were outside as we had a dog and were freezing cold. The staff were rude and unfriendly towards us and nothing was taken off the bill to compensate for bad service. That is the 2nd time in a month I have been and the service has been horribly slow for a bacon sandwich.

We popped in for a quick lunch on a recommendation from a local shop, and were very impressed. Delicious ploughman’s, fish cakes and scotch egg. The piccalilly was particularly good and we bought a pot in the farm shop. Service was efficient and friendly.

Looks a bit average from the outside but the café is fantastic. 5 star food. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Great spot to grab a light lunch before a funeral down the road at GreenAcres. All clearly homemade, lovely tasting and great rustic atmosphere. Whats not to like? £6 for a very tasty but small sausage roll. Homemade, yes. £6, no. £101 for 7 of us hence the one star off.

A lovely little farm shop with a cafe. The soup, cake & coffee are yummy, so I must return to sample more. Rumour has it that their breakfasts are very tasty too. A good selection of produce for sale in the shop.There is also a fish truck on a Thursday lunchtime which sells a fantastic selection of the best fish & seafood.

Wonderful coffee, very tasty and always hot Breakfast is lovely. There is a large menu choice and selection of additional items, all beautifully presented. Looks good, tastes good.

Nice food in a lovely setting. The farm shop is great with a good variety of produce.

Really exceptionally good espresso (I had two, just to make sure) and an amazingly chargrilled bacon sandwich on sourdough which I can still taste now. Fantastic

Applegarth Cafe has multiple WiFi signals but none for customer's. I asked if I could use their WiFi to quickly digitally sign a document and they refused. I was gobsmacked so left. I am now sitting in the Village Cafe in Grayshott using their WiFi and eating the breakfast I would have eaten at Applegarth.

Came for lunch, food was really tasty and absolutely no complaints. The waiting staff although friendly, were not good and lacked the basic understanding of service. Drinks sat on the bar waiting to be brought to the table, whilst you ate your food without your drink, when serving they crossed in front of you, one passing her sleeve across my food. Coffee served with the option of sugar but no spoons, removal of plates when you were still eating. Basic things that let the place down.

Great meal and good service. Was 18 of us and we all loved it so will definitely go there again

As locals, we visit Applegarth frequently, either as a couple, with friends or with family. We have always had a positive experience and the food is always excellent. Their roast dinners are wonderful and currently we're favouring their brunches, which really are excellent. Like many places in the hospitality industry, they've had challenges with staffing since the pandemic ended, however their staff are always so helpful and friendly and it's always a thoroughly charming experience. I always compare sitting on the terrace as feeling as if we're on holiday - it's relaxed, informal, and charming with a lovely vibe. We're hopeful that one day evening services may resume and that the pizza oven gets going again (ooh and the fishmonger lunch option), but until then, the breakfast and lunch menus are really good and varied and the quality of food is always excellent.

Lack lustre birthday brunch, their menu online said wild mushrooms on brioche, which is what I went there to have. Everything was in the menu except that. I asked for a fresh juice without the apple juice, the waiter said they were made from scratch and that was fine. Then he returned to say I couldn’t have it without apple juice and that it could’nt be substituted as it would be too expensive!! No other option was given or suggested. He said they could do mushrooms on sourdough toast if I wanted mushrooms.. I got 2 watery bland field mushrooms on a dry unbuttered piece of toast. No flavour at all. He cleared the plates with no offer of anything else.. didn’t ask if we wanted more drinks or the bill. We had to go up and ask for it at the bar. No acknowledgment from the waiter as we left. I wanted to try something different and experience some interesting delicious food, I got neither.

First ever visit here, friendly staff. Quick service. Pleasant building. Would recommend visits here.

Not a great experience, took over 45 minutes for the food to arrive, there was music playing, however don't think it had been vetted as contained the word f**k in it. Although on this occasion I didn't have my child, i don't think it's acceptable. I'd say it is on the high side price wise, and the products are average. Won't be back again.

Well now, the place is nice, the staff are friendly, the food is average, the parking is good BUT don't go there if you don't qualify for a mortgage ----- £4 75 for a sausage roll AMAZING, I'M SURE THEY ARE HAVING A LAUGH.

This is a few minutes drive from the A3 at Hindhead and well worth a stop. The farm shop deli is a delight and leads into an open cafe- restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere. Interesting menu with light bites and more substantial options. Decent wine list too. The staff were lovely and friendly with great service, nothing was too much trouble- will return, recommended.

Yesterday, at 3.10pm we dropped in for tea and a cake. 2 of us. Tea slow coming out and then we waited and waited for cake and a scone. After 20 mins I went up to bar and asked where it was. Someone came out and told me the scone was being 'toasted' but was coming. After a further 8mins we went in to change the order to just another cake. They said it was coming. It did, 30 mins after we ordered it! We had of course finished our tea by then. The excuse was they had to warm up the scone and the kitchen was still behind due to the private lunch party that had just left. Given the prices they charge, this was terrible service. So if you go here do not order a scone and jam it will be a 30mins wait. Also service will be slow if a private lunch is on that day.

We had a private lunch in the Dining Cabin yesterday for 12 guests. The food was excellent. Leah and her staff could not have done more to make this occasion very special for us. All pour guests were very impressed with the quality of the food. Portions were generous , I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant

Great service and great food! We had a family reunion over lunch and felt very relaxed with no pressure to leave. It was interesting afterwards to wander in the lovely gardens and see where the fresh produce is grown. Highly recommend this place - I'm sure we will be back!

We decided to meet here for a work meeting (just 3 of us) it was the perfect choice! Friendly, helpful staff with the most delicious food! Service was just the right speed. Farm shop was full of amazing goodies. I would advise you to book a table so you're not disappointed. Would definitely return.

Just wonderful. Staff and food amazing. Ambience wonderful. Such a lovely place - it was my special birthday and they could not have made it more special. Thank you Applegarth.

As a birthday present I was give a restaurant voucher. We used it few days ago and I was so impressed with the “up market” clean restaurant/cafe. The waiting staff so helpful and could see they loved working there as very happy atmosphere. We went there for late lunch. We shared three freshly prepared salads from deli counter. Plus I had scotch egg and hubby had turkey. Everything from deli counter and so fresh. I would definitely go there again. Thoroughly recommend it. Their farm shop very good too.

A lovely variety of foods on offer and service was swift. Obviously popular at lunchtime as it was so full we had to eat outside, but we were given blankets to keep us cosy! Portions are really big, especially the fish and chips. The on site shop is lovely too with lots of interesting items on offer.

Amazing cheeseboard and lovely petits fours for dessert. Gorgeous place.

Great food. Courtyard for when the children want a bit of fresh air. Lovely ambience. Expensive.

We loved eating at Applegarth and have visited many times. The service and food were mostly always good so I was surprised when I read some of the less than complimentary reviews. So we booked a lunch booking again, with some trepidation. We really shouldn’t have been worried. The food was as always excellent and the service was so very pleasant and efficient. We ate and drank so very well and left quite satiated. The next day we had a lovely little email from the Manager - Charlotte - thanking us for visiting and hoping we would return soon. A lovely little touch. We will be back soon Charlotte, thank you.

Our large family party was looked after with great care and attention and having a private dining space was a real treat.

Consistently impressed by Applegarth. Friendly service, lovely roasts on a Sunday - especially the veggie sides, and a great drinks menu. Highly recommend.

Good food and service for lunch. Evening menu looks interesting as well.

Excellent food, really delicious. Great service as always. I come here often to meet friends for lunch or for evening meals for occasions. Highly recommend. We also get take away sourdough pizzas which are fantastic, the coleslaw is fab too.

Great combo of restaurant, food shop and cooking school

Excellent food and deli, bit pricey but worth it 👌

Unfriendly staff member. Served up a mushroom pie which was cold in the centre.

Great meal and friendly team made our visit a pleasure. Definitely would return, shame it's so far from home.

(عربي👇🏼) We went there for breakfast, but the selection for that was limited. We had coffee and pastries only. The place is nice and they grow their own veggies and have their own honey too. The place is cosy. The food I’ve been told for lunch is good ( haven’t tried it) The ambiance is cosy and warm. The fireplace was lit and warm. They have other activities like a cookery school, pottery and art. This place in the summer can be nice. Will definitely visit again. رحنا للفطور وما كان فية الا قهوة و معجنات. كانت الاختبارات محددة. يقولون الاكل هنا روعة و خاصة فترة الغداء. لانهم يزرعون محاصيلهم في مزرعتهم و عندهم عسل لذيذ من انتاجهم ايضا. المكان كان دافي و هادئ. المشب كان فية نار وطلع المكان حلو و دافي فية اشياء اخرى تنباع عندهم و موجود مدرسة طبخ و فخار و رسم اتوقع. المكان روووعة في الصيف. اي زيارة اخرى شش

The menu looked promising but our mushroom burger wasn’t really a burger it was mushrooms in a burger roll. Not much taste and rather expensive. Lunch for two 45 quid just the main course sparkling water and pear juice. Certainly will not go again although service friendly and swift.

Excellent food and very helpful staff.

We had the pizza and chicken wings yesterday and they were both very good. The flavours on the chicken were exceptional and the pizza was the best we have had in a long time.

This is the most lovely spot to come to..so friendly and the food is fabulous. We had a mini lunch today and the tables were all spaced out and all the staff were wearing masks and we felt more than comfortable. Well done! Thank you. Louise and Peter

Local business, pleasant Walkabout. Love popping in.

Amazing food. A wonderful experience

Fantastic food with delightful and helpful staff, the Applegarth is a gorgeous restaurant with a great ambience and an additional farm shop plus arts / crafts on show. If you are in this area I thoroughly recommend it!

A really lovely and magical setup for our annual Christmas get together. The separate pods are excellent and it’s lovely to be self contained. The food is really really good. However, this is an expensive experience. You’re paying for great quality foods.

This is the only restaurant we come to and have been doing so for some time. The staff are friendly and accommodating, nothing is ever too much trouble, the food is always delicious and the energy of the place is just calm and relaxing... just...

My first visit and will be back - met a friend for lunch and had a fantastic burger, the service was great Thank you

Good food, lovely service. Had a lovely lunch, though my fish starter (goujons) was a little overcooked. Otherwise very nice meal.

Excellent staff, attentive and professional. Food was lovely , very tasty. Good quality ingredients, very fresh .

Had a family get together with my sister, neice & all. Fantastic food, all beautifully cooked & presented. Worth every penny & a must go to place to eat. Great service, wonderful afternoon.

Wonderful food and lovely staff

Excellent food,lovely service, really good value for money.

Nice restaurant attached to a farm shop, vegetarian / vegan options available also.

What a surprise! We celebrated our Wedding Anniversary by coming here in August. Initially coming for breakfast (Applegarth has a good reputation for its breakfasts) we learned CoVid restrictions mean there's no breakfast for the moment. We had coffee on the covered decking as we watched the studios opening up, then went off to shop in Grayshott before returning for lunch (table booked, as it's popular despite not being packed) which was the surprise- It's all about flavour in the Applegarth Restaurant, so you'd be forgiven for expecting small servings. You won't get them, the portions are very generous (probably due to the local and home-grown produce reducing costs) Check the meaty filling in that half-eaten pie (the wife was attacking it before I'd finished my photos!) Leafy greens are grown in planting towers onsite, that require hardly any groundspace and much less care than traditionally grown produce. Environmentally sound and noticeable in the flavour, this gives Applegarth an advantage over other farms and restaurants. The staff knew we were coming for an Anniversary (I'd emailed but not booked) so they booked the table and gave us an Anniversary card, how lovely! The shop (not pictured) is packed with great quality local and homegrown produce at sensible prices (it's not your budget supermarket of mass produced longlife stock, but it's definitely not going to break the bank either. I'm a low paid worker and I was happy) and outdoors has comfortable seating in beautiful surroundings. Check the website for upcoming events, cooking classes, theme evenings. The center attraction for the garden is a pergola which has the outdoor kitchen in the summer (I'm looking forward to enjoying pizzas there in a few months!) What a lovely way to spend an anniversary, enjoying delicious food served by happy and friendly staff. We'll be back soon, the summer dining and outdoor pizzas can wait

This is such a lovely place to eat and chill with friends. The food was delicious and sitting outside in their gardens was amazing! Cocktails were delicious..
