Aunt Fanny's Farm Shop and Café in East Dorset

Very quaint but very crowded seating area. Ok for one visit for the experience but I would not go again. Not easy to find using satnav either.

Visited with our friend today. Ness was lovely and we had the best Sunday roast, so bloody tasty! Took our own wine and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Willbeback

Popped in for Lunch, had a lovely home made steak pie and my other half had one of their sandwhichs. Good atmosphere, very busy and has to wait for a table, otherwise very good.

I rarely leave a poor review however I feel it's necessary to give feedback to a very poor customer experience. I visited with a friend and have been previously, so it was a complete surprise to hear when my friend asked what vegan dessert/cake out of the very large display we could choose from was responded to so poorly. The reply from the owner was to humiliate us by stating why bring a vegan to a farm shop directing her response to a waiting question of customers and laugh gaining the momentum of waiting customers to join in. This was not only unnecessary but completely disrespectful. To say this is a view that is dated and disparaging is an understatement demonstrating how out of touch the owners are to modern dietary requirements. To be treated with such disrespect with pre convinced perception of dietary requests is incredulous in 2024 and sadly you have lost our custom and of our friends who will not return to be humiliated again.

I've been to Aunt Fanny's a few times, for coffee and cake and recently for breakfast, everytime it has been amazing, the staff are really friendly, and the food is lush and homemade! Everything is reasonably priced and definitely worth the pennies! Looking forward to summer when the garden is open!

My partner and I travel over 30 mins to visit Aunt Fanny’s when we get the chance, the food is exceptional. If you want delicious, home made meals, this is the place to go. Their cakes are out of this world, it’s very hard to find delicious home made cakes locally but the choice here will leave you in a predicament of which one to choose! The same goes for the sausage rolls and pies. The staff are very friendly and I would like to say a big thank you as we went with our new born and they did everything they could to help us navigate and sit at a table with a pram! They made us feel very welcome and not that we were too much trouble. I recommend this quaint cafe to many as it is 10/10 in my opinion!

Had afternoon tea which was delicious. Everything very fresh and tasty.Staff were most attanetive and helpful. Would definitely go again.

After hearing great reviews hubby & I went for lunch & we were not disappointed. A great selection of cooked food, sandwiches & toasties to choose from not forgetting the specials board also. All the food plated that came out looked and smelt delicious & our lunch was superb. A special mention to Emily who made the best Chai Latte. If you've never been you don't know what you are missing, we shall definitely be back & may have room for cake next time !

The food and service was excellent. Very friendly staff and menu very good. We had the lunch menu which catered for light and a more substantial meal. Cakes wonderful! Excellent variety of hot and cold drinks.

Brilliantly quirky place to visit and eat. Food is excellent and good value when compared to other places in the wider area. The atmosphere is really pleasant and relaxed and the staff are welcoming and efficient. We have visited several times in the last few months and cannot fault Aunt Fanny's. The only issue we have had was on one attempted visit where the car park was completely full. Got to be a good sign!

My family and I have had such a lovely experience here on more than one occasion. Always greeted with happy faces and a warm welcome. The baked goods tast as amazing as they look. The owner was lovely especially as she always made an effort to keep my youngest entertained when passing. There are a collective amount of ornaments around and that’s all part of aunt Fanny’s charm! I can’t wait for summer to come and visit for pizza night and bring your own bottle! My children love to spot any animals outside too, it always keeps them amused. Thanks again for great food and a great couple of hours.

Just love it here. The best and biggest cakes. Great friendly team. Lovely food. Brilliant stop for cyclists too. It’s a great mountain bike ride over Badbury Rings to get here too. Looking forward to many more visits. Our dog Dave loves it here too 🐾

Amazing cafe food was fantastic staff extremely friendly the place was clean and welcoming definitely be returning soon

I visited for a coffee and cake with a friend. Cake was ok-ish, quite expensive for a tiny slice. Coffee wasn’t nice at all, I’m sorry to say so but coffee at Tesco’s cafe tastes way much better then this one. Table and chairs were sticky, like they weren’t wiped for days.

Absolutely lovely rustic gem of a place with amazing wholesome homemade food, a regular spot to take my mum and step dad too who also love it.

We love Aunt Fannys. The staff , food, venue are all absolutely perfect. Always have a wonderful welcome as soon as you walk in - one of our favourite places to visit and we love bringing family & friends.

Have visited Aunt Fanny's on a couple of occasions. This time the food was average, nothing special, a much smaller menu than before. I have no issues with this but it needs to be cooked properly. The main issue was with the cleanleness. Given they...

Lovely interior and very friendly service. During weekends you might devine some of the attendees a little over aware of themselves.

Decided to give this place another go. Rude lady who I think was the owner, rolled her eyes when we asked questions. Dirty table, food only ok. Would not recommend and will not be giving a 3rd chance.

This place gets very busy during lunchtime, the food is well presented and generally very good. Not sure about the batter on the haddock though. Staff all very friendly and helpful.

Paid our first visit today to Aunt Fanny’s after a couple of recommendations. Amazing place, very cosy eclectic feel with reminders of our childhood adorning the walls. We ordered the eggy bread with maple syrup and bacon/ sausage. Really scrummy. We couldn’t leave without buying...

Amazing. One of the best roast dinners I’ve had. Brilliant friendly service as usual. Certainly recommend a visit

The food was delicious. Had to wait a bit to be served. Seemed like they need a bit of organising. Well worth a visit just for the food.

Went for lunch with a friend on Saturday. Was very busy and chaos with people and staff everywhere. My friend is vegan and the options were very limited and her loaded fries for £11.95 were very poor and a tiny portion. Had to ask a...

We’ve been to Aunt Fanny’s a couple of times before, but won’t be returning I’m afraid. Our burgers were delivered to the table and once cut into, were completely raw inside. We didn’t make a fuss, just politely showed the waitress and asked if we...

What an awful experience I had this evening. I have been a couple of times to Aunt Fanny's and when I saw advertised on their Facebook page this week that it was their last pizza evening for the summer, I asked my friend if she'd...

Horrible and rude staff, even the owner was horrible, terrible service and she even rolled her eyes as we spoke.

Beautiful little farm shop & cafe, 13 mins walk from Wilksworth Caravan Park. Lovely breakfasts & the Chai Lattes are superb. Staff are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble would definitely recommend 👌 to anyone who is visiting this way or even the...

This is a real treasure of a place. We were made so welcome and we loved all the decoration around the barn. We had 2 cooked breakfasts and they were cooked to perfection. Fantastic produce and the cakes we ate later were just fab. Will...

We had visited nearby Kingston Lacy, a National Trust property and came across Aunt Fanny after a very negative experience at a nearby farm shop/ restaurant. This was lucky in a way as I absolutely loved Aunt Fanny. I would have given it a 6...

Had the BEST breakfast EVER, always a good experience at Aunt Fannys, Ness especially ;) had a tea for 2 and was more than enough for the both of us. They are always jammed packed and alwaysss make sure our needs are met! By far...

I’ve been here a couple of times and friendly staff . On this occasion however ordering a cream tea to share with my teenage daughter became a mission and left a bad taste in my mouth . I ordered a pot of tea I would...

First visit with my daughter for brekkie. Super quirky, fab locally produced food, great atmosphere and vibe, we loved it!!!

We have been here twice in July to celebrate a couple of different things. The food is lovely, as is the relaxed atmosphere. It is also really dog friendly with our little ones joining us on our bench/chairs on blankets provided. We also love the...

My friend and I loved our recent visit sat in the sun outside. We enjoyed a beautiful cream tea, sandwiches were so fresh, scone was still warm, lots of choice of little cakes and brownies. So delicious and filling ! All staff so lovely friendly...

Been here a couple of times recently and it's excellent. Very well run and an eclectic mix inside. Has some associated shops also. Service is excellent and the home made pies and food are first class. Can get busy, but worth the trip.

Lovely food and the carrot cake, which was my lunch, was amazing and huge. My brother and husband had chips with their lunch which were wonderful. Can see why you're busy with such an amazing range of cakes and food, very happy and cannot wait...

Went to aunt fannys today had loaded fries with pulled pork and my partner had the fish and chips the food was excellent and well presented, staff really friendly and great service we will be back

We'd stayed at Wilksworth for 1 night after attending Dorset Volksfest and were in need of some hot food before travelling home to Wiltshire. We definitely found the right place, only 1/2 a mile up the road. The cafe was still quite busy with quite...

Came here with my partner and friend for Lunch. We both live in London and my friend said we must try this quirky place that she had been to before, it did not disappoint. The pork pie ploughman's was beautifully presented and good value, the...

Scones to die for! Had a lovely visit today to this wonderfully different cafe. Huge mug of latte and the most delicious scone I have ever tasted! Fresh as fresh can be! Loved it Thank you Aunt Fanny’s

Lovely quirky place with delicious food. The food was absolutely lovely and I bought some scotch eggs for tea which were equally good. I was with my 90 yr old mother and she thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. Ness the owner very kindly gave us...

A quirky cafe environment with fair amount of seating and some outside. The breakfasts are cooked well and we didn't have to wait long for drinks and then food. The was service was fine. It's a bit on the expensive side but most places are...

Best food in area. Magical place. Well worth the visit! Quality food, beautiful setting plus arts and crafts and vintage shops.

Quirky place loved the decor… the cakes were fantastic in fact totally amazing.. nice sandwiches too. Scones cream and jam were beautiful. Sadly the thing that let it down miserably were the staff !!! The manageress may be good at making money and having great...

Had high hopes of this place but we had a disappointing visit. We were there for a party and had ordered pizzas which were on a tab. Not very well organised as we waited and waited for food, there was no number per each order...

I’m a regular at Aunt fannys, I’m always happy, great veggie options, food is always gorgeous (especially the cakes) and the staff are always friendly and helpful one of my favourite places for lunch or just coffee and cake absolute gem for Wimborne

What amazing place beautiful decor, so lovely stuff and the staff are amazing. Had a good laugh with them and the food is out of this world I will be going back very very soon. I’m taking my mum

Amazing atmosphere, wonderful staff and a great little place. Nothing was too hard for the girls and the chef was wonderful. Warm welcome and a lovely goodbye.

Well what an experience. My wife took me for lunch at Aunt Fanny’s today claiming that it was a nice place to eat, well what a disappointment it was to walk into a place that is full of clutter and has quite possibly the rudest...

Awful place - Don’t go here Service was shocking and the owner rude. My husband found a chicken bone in his sandwich - was told ‘oh that’s because we use fresh chicken’ No apology, no talk of I’ll speak to the chef, and no care...

Not far from where I live and had driven past it hundreds of times and decided to give it a go. Quirky decor and relaxed atmosphere- was very busy and there was a wait for a table and for food. Nevertheless the food was brilliant...

A wonderful place for the perfect home cooked breakfast Eggs Benedict first class Service is wonderful. Quirky little place for home cooked delicious food and don’t get me on the cakes they sell to take away too it’s a must

I cannot recommend enough Ness and her team are fantastic 😊 despite being busy they were all lovely 😊 We had the breakfast and it was excellent. We can definitely recommend the Eggs Benedict and Vegetarian Breakfast 😊 Thank you

My wife and I visited Aunt Fanny's for the 1st time today and we were not disappointed. Although incredibly busy as it was lunchtime we were found a table quickly by helpful and friendly staff and left menus to study. I opted for the burger...

I’m writing this review more than 10 hours later and still feel sick! I visited today and unfortunately, it was not a pleasant experience. When I arrived, I was disappointed to find that the restaurant looked like a charity shop and smelled bad. The tables...

I cannot express enough how wonderful EVERYTHING is about this cafe. To start the eclectic decor is a feast for the eyes. So many wonderful objects, pictures, paraphernalia that gives such a fantastic atmosphere to the place. That’s just for starters! The food is incredible....

Little gem ! food outstanding we had a roast it was amazing The staff are so friendly Tammy our waitress was lovely, I would highly recommend and I will keep visiting

We arrived for a birthday lunch and what can I say, from the moment we walked in the staff were so friendly and welcoming. There was an absolutely awsome array of cakes, buns and biscuits as you immediately enter, all looking as perfect as the...

We enjoyed yet another fantastic breakfast, it's the best we have had by far, and we love the sausages, they were very busy but the food is always hot and delicious, thankyou to all at Aunt fannys, you always make everyone welcome x

What an incredible find. We had afternoon tea with the most scrumptious sandwiches and cakes. So full, but so good

Porridge was only half cooked, served with half a brown banana and about 6 blueberries!! I expected it to be better. On the full english, the bubble and squeak was mushy, sausages looked quite cheap and the drinks are expensive.

My friend and I called for coffee and cake and had a fun time with a friendly welcome and lovely ambience. Great quality food in a fun environment with friendly staff and genuinely dog friendly- fabulous thank you

This was my first visit to Aunt Fanny's and I was spoilt for choice, a great range of lunches, snacks and cakes all home cooked with real ingredients. I had a feta, walnut and spinach filo pie with a 'side' salad - delicious and generous...

Visited Aunt Fanny’s today for the first time with my partner. What a fantastic experience, great food, friendly family atmosphere and polite staff who were happy to help. Makes me wonder about previous comments I have read from the same day? They must have been...

Food amazing . Comfy and warm in there. However, the staff were very unwelcoming and rude. What a shame. Will think twice about returning. Please guys , crack a smile.

The food is absolutely amazing! Highly recommend the fish finger sandwich and the pecan and fudge flapjack. It is very busy and a little cold, but the food definitely makes up for that! We will be back!

Slight disappointed by a visit to Aunt Fanny's today. After looking at Google and their website and been advised there is was open. We went on site only to find out it was closed for the next 10 days, and it had been updated on...

Great evening. As always, a lovely welcome from the front of house ladies. A selection of six or so Christmassy-themed starters, beautifully served. Then we chose a turkey and stuffing pizza……trust me…….it was fantastic! Then a selection of desserts, beautifully served and delicious. Live band....

Not the cheapest but very welcoming and very good food. Very busy but not a long wait for our order.

We had a lovely time today at aunt fannys cafe. Grandad had his wheelchair and they helped us get him in and seated which was great. Lovely cakes. Would recommend going to middle barn vintage next door while you’re there.
