Benty Farm Tearoom in Wirral

Benty Farm is a firm favourite for our family. It's lovely to see how it has grown and evolved over the years. From afternoon tea to half term events/ activities something for everyone. Love sitting outside in the warm weather and love the marquee with it's seasonal decor, very cozy. Family who run the business are lovely and work very hard. A great variety of cakes - all homemade and the coffee is 10/10. Friendly staff and great food is always guaranteed here.

Coffee was good. Cake was ok. Savoury food was tasteless. Atmosphere non existent. Decor and furniture poor. Poor service. Prices high considering the quality of the food and service.

Waitresses miserable. Certainly wasn’t service with a smile. It felt like it was a chore for them. Food was very average. A very limited menu to choose from. What made the visit even worse was a family at the next table to us (we were inside the gazebo) pulled out a potty and sat their child on it whilst everyone around them were eating. Our first and will definitely be our last visit here !

We had the best time at this years tulip picking! We attend most events at Benty and love them every time. There was still so many different tulips to choose from and I am going back again next weekend! We love the cafe as well as the food, drink and service is always amazing.

Bought 2 tickets for the 'Tulip farm'. Drove an hour and a half to arrive at what can only be described as a patch of scrag ends of a few flowers. How they can sell tickets for an event which is on par with a modern scam of visitors money.

We went to Benty farm tea rooms for the Tulip viewing . Oh it was so beautiful. Seeing all the rows of tulips standing proud.. Our granddaughters ran up and down the rows and kept stopping to look at them. Sitting on the dusty soil in their very best dresses. Looking and talking about how pretty they were. We were chatting about our favourite ones, the colours, the smells and the variety. We are busy creating core memories and this one will be up there in the future. As we look back over this year We will smile and remember our time there.

Awful, certainly wouldn't recommend. Over priced and poor facilities

Went tulip picking which was fun and a good selection of tulips. Reasonably priced

We went on the first day for tulip viewing. The tulips are beautiful, with all sorts of colours. Area is not huge (about 10 rows of tulips) but enough for good photos. Staff is really friendly, takes the initiative to engage with us. Really appreciate as this farm is just 15mins away from my house on the Wirral, saving my journey to travel 2 hours down south to see. I rather support a local farm!

On the expensive side in comparison to other cafes. Avoid the fruit toast - £4.00 for a couple of small slices full of air & not much fruit! Hot food may lag behind the hot drinks by some time if busy. However it is a convenient stop during a walk in the area.

Benty farm is a lovely little tea room. Great service, lovely atmosphere and they let dogs in.

Great place, plenty of choice of food . Very clean, toilets and wheelchair friendly.

Lovely half way spot for a drink on a walk through Royden Park. Only popped in for a coffee (very nice!) but they also do tasty looking cakes and light meals It can get busy on nice days. Outside seating and plenty of spaces inside and in the marquee. Dog friendly..... infact, I was the only dog-less person!

Excellent service. Lovely food and a delightful setting.

Delicious hot chocolate with paprika and chilli (who'd hv thought) reviving after a nice winter walk great place friendly staff highly recommended

Lovely place to visit whilst enjoying a walk and where dogs (on leads 😉) are welcome.

Wonderful food in a lovely setting. Service is excellent. Highly recommended.

Perfect for our Sunday breakfast. Lovely spot and food all locally sourced or home-made. I had a hazelnut hot chocolate and peanut butter/banana on home made banana bread, and my husband had a cup of tea and Avocado on toast with bacon and a poached egg. We both really enjoyed our breakfasts and this will now be a regular weekend treat. Lovely staff. Lovely venue. Perfect for a little stop off while walking the dog(s) or browsing the farm. Tulips are in season now and I wish we had more time to have a browse. Next time!

Visited today to show a friend Thurstaton Common. This place has always had a great reputation, and the scone we ordered was great, but the waitress on the till was very rude and dismissive when half the cakes were brought out and 10 mins later we asked where the rest of the cakes were. The hot food we ordered was average at best and not worth the prices. As a local, I don't think we will be back unfortunately.

After a lovely walk with our dog we decided to visit for breakfast. It was a freezing cold weekday and the cafe was very quiet. We asked if we could sit inside and was told rather abruptly by an unwelcoming woman we took to be the owner, that as we had a have a dog (small and well-behaved by the way) we would have to sit under the covered area outside - which she referred to as , “The marquee”. We did as we were told and sat beside one of the two - ineffective in my opinion - gas burners. The tarpaulin overhead was leaking over the tables and all the seating apart from one. Unsurprisingly we were the only ones out there! Eventually our breakfast arrived. My smashed avocado on toast turned out to be cold slabs of avocado on rock hard sourdough. It was awful! What an experience! We so wished that we’d driven to one of the many local establishments where the food is of a good standard and the welcome is warm and inviting. This place should have been packed but having experienced it,I am not surprised that it was quiet.

After a snowy walk popped into Benty's. Sat in front of a log fire and was superbly surprised with their turmeric, chilli hot chocolate 10/10 followed by perfect bacon sandwich and topped off with a shared sticky toffee pudding shared between us. The pudding was light and tasty without being cloying (like some of the best restaurants have served us)and hit the bliss factor! Another 10/10. Thank you for attentive service too.

Very disappointed with the sausage sandwich today…..it was presented with two small sausages on a white roll……compared to other offerings I thought more attention to detail could have been given….. maybe some side garnishes….£5.50…… please Benty Farm….. I know you can do better…… coffee was good though.

Most inside seating reserved and unavailable (not usual). Space in covered ouside area and garden seating.

Visited here to pick our pumpkins. Lovely big patch with a good few instalments for picture opportunities. We also went to the on site cafe, queue was quite long for this

Visited with my two little boys in the Summer holidays for PYO strawberries and ice-creams, went to pay and realised my purse was at home! The lovely lady serving me was very kind and discreet about it and let me pay when I got home - Thank you so much! Whenever we visit the staff are always so lovely and they do the yummiest cake and hot chocolate. Highly recommend!

Great stop off when out with the dog. Great food.

Benty Farm is a fab place to go for a lovely family atmosphere, the service from the staff is supremely friendly plus the ability to pick your own strawberries and other seasonal food is an absolute highlight. The only slight drawback is the inconsistency on food, it's never terrible but sometimes it's expensive for what it is, the portion sizes do vary depending on what time of the day you go.

Excellent afternoon tea today. Service brilliant and lovely setting to relax and chat over good food. Vegan Oreo cake we ordered was out of this world. When the grandchdren saw it said" Wow "and couldn't wait to eat it. Highly recommend it to anyone

Lovely, would be nice to have veggie options like a fried egg sandwich maybe or toasties.

Long walk from car just thinking of people with mobilty issues Food ok

Lovely cakes, huge selection of teas make this small cafe in the woods a delight. Its 400yds from the road, but well worth the walk. Dogs welcome in the outdoor seating but not inside.

I liked this quiet and isolated local (out of the main areas of Wirral) cafe. Food was really nice and not too expensive. It's such a quiet place that will be visited again

We celebrated my Dad's 90th birthday here yesterday. It was a wonderful day. We had the afternoon tea. The food was lovely and everyone there was so friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend Benty Farm. It's a lovely hidden gem.

Outdoor seating area is great as long as the sun is shining l.

Don't bother going for Sunday Brunch unless you're prepared to wait. We turned up at 11.45 and the place was already packed with dog walkers and families. We starred to queue and one of the waitresses told us "sorry guys, there's a 30 minutes wait on service." This isn' t the first time I've been. The service is often slow at the weekend. But it was a nice day, half term. The coffee and cakes have been good in the past but the slow service ruins it.

Great staff, great food, great coffee.... all in the middle of our fav walk on the Wirral.... what more could you ask for?

Pleasant, popular cafe/restaurant setting with marquee dining area, as well as outdoor seating on picnic tables & deck chairs. Polite staff and swift service. Stopped off for an iced coffee but the food also looked tasty. Customer toilets available. A great stop off area with scenic woodland walking trails nearby.

Staff are really friendly, food is amazing and the coffee is spot on! They had sunflower picking on this time but they do pumpkin patches and Christmas trees too - we get ours from here every year! Can’t recommend enough 🙌

Lovely country style cafe. A great place to rest and regenerate with cakes and ice cream. Good coffee also available in a cold version. You can buy local products such as bread and honey. I recommend!

Super find and delicious food and drink²

Took 25 minutes to serve 2 coffees and when they arrived they were wrong

A little hidden gem although often super busy at weekends. Lovely food and drinks but tricky to find a table and service is slow due to being busy. Perhaps table service would be better with separate section for take out. If you go alone you have to queue and then can't get a seat!

Hit and miss, sometimes it's great, last week my daughter and I waited over 30 minutes for two drinks, it wasn't busy and other families were also complaining, next time we'll take our own.

Going to be honest soup is superb in there the presentation is excellent however the sandwich veggie one tasted like weird and smelly was like that farm soil smell...I had two bites of sandwich and decided to leave it...banana bread nice but you get 2 slices and it's too much felt a bit sickly sweet the biscoff latte was alright all round nice place good presentation service could have been a bit happier, girl just plonked on table with awkward look so not sure what that was about.... didn't have the heart to ask for a refund just learned from experience. The area in general has a great trekk sorounding the area so it's a good day out idea

A brilliant little stop after a long walk around Roydon. Staff always friendly and love the decor of the gazebo which is great for the puppers! Lovely Blueberry scones and they sell Liverpool Co. Candles which are actually cheaper than from the company themselves! Lovely coffee and food, what's not to like?

Great food, great drinks, what more can I say, oh, friendly efficient staff 😁👍

Great but like all great spot it gets busy and you have to wait

A little manic as we went forgetting it was mothers day. Portions a little small but very tasty. Nice rustic feel

Large outdoor seating area with a smaller indoor area for those without dogs. Had minestrone soup, which was hot and tasty.

Had a lovely visit to a local delight that is Benty farm tea rooms, just stopped for a bite to eat after a walk around the common. Staff were attentive even though it was a busy Saturday lunch time. They catered for my little one and his allergies and advised us what we should avoid. We had the mushrooms on toast and the red pepper, lentil and rosemary soup to share and finished with a scone. Will be making this a regular stop off.

Went here for a spot of lunch as part of a Sunday bike ride. It's a lovely slice of old Wirral i.e. café next to a sandstone farm by the side of Thurstaston Common. When we arrived there was a placard outside saying "Due the current volume of orders, we are only serving cakes and drinks." This is fine if you only want a snack, but my cyclist friend and I wanted something more substantial. We did order cakes but noticed some people inside were being served sandwiches and other items from the main menu, so the placard must be something they have in reserve for busy times. Even our super simple order took a while to arrive... yes the cakes were nice but come on guys, this isn't rocket science! At busy times e.g. Sunday afternoon you're gonna need more staff on shift! In the end we rode down the hill for lunch at Flissy's café, Wirral Country Park: always excellent, pleasant staff and to the best of my knowledge always serving the full menu!

Lovely little cafe near Roydon Country Park. The staff are professional and friendly. The food is nice, with the cakes always going down well.

Lovely find food and drinks were lovely. However was accused of being rude by the owner for grabbing a pot of honey from the shelf and not allowing the woman behind to go in front when we had already queued for nearly 10 minutes. I think in future before staff accuse customers of being rude it would be a good idea to understand exactly what had happened not what had been witnessed in that second. I did try to grab the owners attention on more than one occasion to explain she had jumped to conclusions but she just ignored us. Unfortunately wouldn't recommend or return as there are many lovelier places on the wirral offering the same level of food and drinks but better service.

Although this is a lovely tea room, it’s lucky with the location as it has the monopoly. The service is so unbelievably slow and this was on a week day! I don’t understand why there’s not more staff when they are clearly so busy. What wasn’t great is there was no acknowledgement of this and the service was bordering on rude. Won’t be back as we only came for drinks and ended up waiting nearly as long as we’d been out for a walk. Not great.

I go most Sundays for a pup cup. The staff make such a fuss of Ted and he loves it! Definitely worth a visit.

Nice little place out of the way. Staff very friendly.

Great little find as I was walking past. Latte was amazing

Love calling into this tearoom on our dog walks. The staff are lovely, and there is a delicious selection of treats all the time.

Nice homemade cakes, great after picking pumpkins at Halloween or berries in the summer.

Great atmosphere and lovely setting. But it wasn’t a good experience. We queued for at least 10mins and kept being directed where to stand. When we got to the front we were told there’s a 20min wait, including on any hot drink. We only intended to pop for a coffee after our walk. Cold drink and food beside the till was available - but for £13 for two ginger beers and two rubbery sausage rolls.

Booked in for Hermiones potion class. Was really lovely and well organised. Children had a lovely time.

Lovely hidden gem! Well priced, two drinks and two cakes for around £12. A lovely setting with indoor seating and outdoor open and covered seating. Would recommend!

Lovely coffee and cake. Excellent service and lovely surroundings.

Went on a walk through Roydon park and found this little place, cool little place, did wait a little while for food but still worth 5 stars

A lovely family cafe with delicious cakes and lunchtime snacks. Perfect for stopping off at after a walk around this beautiful natural area. Staff are super friendly too!

This was my first time here. I will definitely be going back. Food was first class with homemade strawberry jam with the scones and cream. Sandwiches well filled and presented. Prices are very reasonable This is a dog friendly establishment. When I visited there were plenty of walkers with their dogs. Lots of space for kids to play. Dog bowls filled with water all around.

Lovely location, dog friendly and great drinks

I love visiting Benty Farm. Friendly people, yummy cake, Earl Grey tea. Winter cosiness inside, summer tea outside watching hens, goats, horse and foal.

Lovely 😊 local produce in the right place 🍰 ☕️ 🫖 🍓 🥪

Lovely location but could do with changing their model to improve service speed. Everything is table service, even the cake and cold drink which is next to the till. This makes service times long. If they serve drinks, cold snacks instantly the waiting on staff can focus on the hot food service.

Lovely farmhouse cafe, really good sandwiches and cakes.

If you have not been to Benty Farm Tearooms, if you are going walking on Thurston,or roydon country park, if want some refreshments, then pop in for teas and coffee, fresh cakes, sandwich,soup, bacon rolls, on nice sunny day, sitting outside, also a covered area, well worth a visit, it's also a dog friendly place

Food and atmosphere good. Happy to have found it. Been coming here regularly. Food and drinks excellent. You place your order and get given a token with a number. Table service follows suit. Friendly. Dogs on leads as livestock around. Great watering hole in the middle of your walk. Recommended.

Staff lovely but service can be very slow.

What a horrible unwelcoming place. Only one member of staff smiled. The coffee served was vile. Ordered 2 X identical cups and both were completely different, with one being basically milk. Certainly would not recommend.

Lovely relaxing space. Very friendly staff.

Lovely setting serving afternoon teas and light meals. I attended a baby shower which was beautiful and the staff were very accommodating.

Very nice coffee. Good selection of cakes and light bites.

Fantastic country cafe. Good veggie options, lovely coffee & smoothies. Recommend the mushroom toast.

A crackin place to chill after a nice long walk around Thurstaston Common . Nice , Friendly staff and very quick table service. We'll done all .

Cheese and tomato panini - never had one with so little cheese on - won't go back!

Really nice cafe. Dog friendly under markee but not inside which is a bit of a shame. Really reasonably priced and lots of selection. I went in winter but it would be gorgeous in summer as well. Food was delicious!

Went on a very busy Sunday afternoon. There wasn't much cake choice left but I had a gorgeous scone and jam and hubby had coffee and walnut cake which was lovely. Coffee was good too.

First time lovely place, food great staff very good

Wanted to order some soup they had advertised, when I got to the front of the queue for the till, the lady behind the till told me she'd be a moment and moved away. She spoke briefly to the women behind me in the queue. I heard one of the women say "she's saving us some soup, she has some soup left for us, two bowls!" The lady then came back to the till, and I asked for some soup to which she replied "we've run out!" I thought, no you haven't because the women who are behind me in the queue have just stated that you have some for them! Considering we were first I don't think it's fair, didn't really want to stay after that so left, will not be going back again considering the service standards!

Their Eccles cakes are the best I've ever had. I knew it was there when we set off for a long walk but they've added the marquee which takes it to a new level.

Stopped off for quick coffee and cake. Food and drink nice and service efficient. Very pleasant would go again.

Great place for Sunday morning breakfast after a walk around the park.

Very disorganised, was very busy but no logic to queuing system

Nice little coffee shop.friend and I ordered two coffees and mince pies which we saw with other cakes .when coffee came it was the with smallest mince pies ever not the ones on display when I asked the older lady then told me there are the dearer ones .the ones that came out were not in display she charged us again to have the one we thought we were having !!!

Perfect spot to stop for a brew while out for a walk. Very friendly and helpful staff, great coffee, lovely atmosphere and plenty to offer in terms of food and baked goods. Dog friendly too!

great little find, I'm well impressed.Charlotte the owner and staff all work very hard and are accommidating... thank you x

Really good pumpkin patch! Went for a walk in the area too it was lovely!

We've never been here before . What a cute little cafe this is . Went pumpkin picking and what a fab day we had . The kids loved it . And wasn't expensive either .xx

Location and staff excellent, however the wait for food was long as it was over over capacity imo.

We've walked past a few times and it's always busy with a queue so we thought we'd give it a go. It turns out the queue is because the service is phenomenally slow - 40 mins for tea and a sandwich! They could really do with rethinking their whole process flow. The food was ok albeit a little limited. They could do with keeping a few of the hot food breakfast options on for lunch. The cake options are good and are easily their best option. I'd expect they do a good afternoon tea.

Fantastic service, reasonable prices and open for take away and pumpkin picking

Lovely cakes and drinks. Great set up with outdoor sheltered seating. Pumpkin patch was well run.

Lovely cafe with outdoor seating and it's dog friendly

What a joy to find this place in the middle of the common. I will be back. Thank you.
