Britford Farm Shop in Wiltshire

We do like to celebrate Valentine’s Day; because, after the Christmas and New Year festivities, there’s just nothing ‘happening’; at least until the weather improves! Valentine’s Day is just about the only occasion, in the depths of winter, that give’s us a reason to dine-out; it drives us to brave the elements and have a little fun. This year we decided we would have the best part of a couple of days away in Bournemouth; including a one-night stop-over. Our journey-down took us through Salisbury and onto the A338. Due to a road closure we sat for quite a while in a traffic jam on the Salisbury ring-road, so we resolved to stop at a Farm Café and get an early lunch; seeing the sign we pulled-in. Our immediate impression as we walked-in was that it was welcoming, it was bright and cheerful with a good display of produce to eat-in and take-away, including some fancy-goods as the farm-shop genre often stock. It was certainly busy and tables were at a premium; untaken tables bore ‘Reserved’ signs. There was a lady (the owner?) literally buzzing-around clearing-away plates from contented-looking diners, taking-orders and serving-food, as well as manning the servery. She barely acknowledged us (a “… be with you in a moment” would have sufficed and been much appreciated). So, there we stood wondering what the procedure was; should we go to a table and wait for table service, wait to be seated, queue and order food, or return to our car? Signage would have helped. Fortunately the owner soon reappeared and my Partner hailed her as she passed us, and asked “What’s the format here please?” We were hurriedly asked to find a free-table, then return to the servery to order food and/or drinks. We did find a large table (for six) that was free and unreserved, but needing a wipe, but we sat-down there. We studied the menu and we decided on a warm snack each and a pot of tea for two; my Partner returned to the servery and ordered. A few minutes later the owner reappeared at our table and, at the behest of my Partner, wiped-it down explaining that a party of children had last used it. So far it was not a great experience and it got worse, but fortunately not for us. A couple of ladies sat on an adjacent table for two, obviously waiting for food that they had already ordered. The owner appeared and apologised to them for the food-service delay; explaining that their order had not been “put into the kitchen” in error. To be fair the customers didn’t complain and seemed to understand. Apparently (we overheard) a senior staff member (possibly a partner in the business) had been away with an illness, but had today popped-in to confirm she was “on-the-mend” and would be returning to work soon. The overheard conversation indicated that this was a three-person team and that ‘Richard?’ was alone in the kitchen and working full-tilt. Now we understood, and served to illustrate that this was not the usual experience here. Our pot of tea soon arrived, with a tea-strainer … ah loose-leaf tea … promising. We both like really strong tea so we let it steep. The pot was big but not full, and when we did get to it the tea was very good; however the pot only yielded about a moderately-sized cup and a half each (which was slightly disappointing). The food was really good, we both had chosen the sausage roll snack; which arrived with a side-salad of colourful and flavoursome leaves and halved cherry tomatoes, also a potato and apple in mayonnaise salad and a small pot of Kashmiri pickle (one our favourite accompaniments). The meaty sausage roll was excellent with really flaky pastry; for us definitely home-made or if it wasn’t then where can I order some? It was a great snack, attractively served and all eaten. We did ‘do dessert’ by the way of a shared portion of apple cake with a large dollop of whipped fresh cream. This was really excellent cake with a wonderfully deep cinnamon favour. It was easily enough to be shared; not shared for any-other reason than we had planned a really extravagant dinner in Bournemouth that evening, and wanted to ensure we were going to be hungry. Tables were embellished with a small spray of fresh flower cuttings: Pussy Willow, Stinking Hellebore, Summer Snowflake, Goat Willow and Peruvian Lily; this really showed a bit of imagination and effort, much appreciated. I wish this business all success, the place was full by the time we left and therefore it’s getting good custom, it serves really good fare but, at a tad over £35, it was not a cheap snack. The quality however was extremely good.

We stopped here for lunch in June 2023 while on the way to Salisbury. We had seen their sign on the road and decided to give it a try. The entrance to the farm shop café isn’t entirely clear as the right hand side of the door and the handle are obstructed by a climbing plant. There is a fairly steep ramp on entry which flexed a bit under my 12 stones. Once inside, it’s quaint and quirky. We took a look at the menu and liked the look of the quiche/savoury pastries which were around £7. We were asked if we wanted salad and we said yes – for £7 you would expect a side salad I think. We ordered one each and two small bottles of water at about £2 each. When the bill of £31.50 was presented I was aghast. The menu layout was IMHO very poor. What was unclear and not explained was the salad was about another £7 each. The quiche/savoury pastry were very good and the salad large, well prepared and filling. The service was friendly. The toilets are outside, along the side of the building then each cubicle is up two fairly steep steps. I didn’t see any accessible toilets. All in all, worth a try but beware the menu and it is quite pricey.

Wow! Discovered this whilst undergoing treatment at Salisbury Hospital. This gorgeous place is 5 mins drive away. Went in today on a freezing day. The fire was on. We took the dog and my daughter is a wheelchair user. Easy to access. Friendly and welcoming. The grandfather clocks chiming. Could have stayed for hours as we were so relaxed. So many cakes to choose from and no idea where to start. Also came home with some honey.

Needed a special Birthday cake for my daughter, as she actually makes them herself. I remembered the fantastic chocolate cake I used to sell when working in Snells many years ago and found out this farm shop actually makes them still! Decided to have a coffee when picking up the cake and we really enjoyed our experience. The coffee shop is small but cosy and it was beautifully warm on our visit, with a log burner going. Really friendly staff who served us lovely coffee, tasty crumpets and toast, the bread was delicious. There is not a big breakfast menu but the lunches that started to come out as we left looked great. It appeared to be very popular and we look forward to returning for lunch.

A planned stop en route to the New Forest. We just wanted a lite bite. The menu had lots for ~£12 that came with salad. We went for soup, pate and savoury pastries, all £7 each. Seemed a bit pricy for the pastries. The pate was the whole jar, so very generous portion. Staff friendly and a popular spot.

This is a lovely tearoom just outside Salisbury and is well worth visiting. They have a lovely selection of cakes and a good lunch menu and a selection of teas. I was told the coffee was really good. The entrance has an accessible ramp which I was pleased to see so it's now on the list of places to stop with my elderly mother who can no longer manage steps.

We’ve visited Britford Farm Shop before, so returned knowing they serve good food. On this occasion, we turned up at just gone 2pm; very close to their “last orders” time. Nevertheless, they still served us a hot lunch, which was very tasty. We didn’t feel rushed either, even though they close at 3pm. Excellent service. Thank you.

Five winter walks out to Britford, swinging by this Farm Shop in rural location on my way back to Salisbury. Stopped mid-morning each time for excellent hot chocolate, rich and sweetened to your taste (my preference minimally). The best home made mince pies I have found at a cafe this season, generously served with whipped cream. Couple beside me said they went there often as no Muzak, an atmosphere I favour too. Highly recommended, though note the limited opening hours…

We travel from Windsor to Odstock hospital a couple of times a year and a visit to the nearby Farm Shop Cafe is something to look forward to. Today the appointment at the hospital took a very long time so as the driver I took advantage and had a morning coffee and then afternoon tea there before the long slow journey home. The staff really looked after us today and went to a lot of trouble to make sure we were comfortable and well fed. Thank you so much. See you next time.

Lovely service - we had not booked so we were very lucky to find a spare lunch table - We had the trout and the Red Leicester Quiche - both very tasty - reasonable prices too

If you are a fisherman you will know about Britford - a famous fishery on the Hampshire Avon just below Salisbury. If you are not then a trip to the farm shop is nearly as good. Friendly staff in a most traditional setting and lovely tea and cakes. I had an enormous piece of retro black forest gateau accompanied by a glass of kirsch with cherries in it - decadent but slightly worrying for drivers.

Lovely atmosphere and tasty food! I had to order ahead as I was on a work lunch break so short on time. They didn’t seem ideally setup for this, but to be fair food didn’t take long at all after we arrived. Food was amazing quality and freshly made (only gripe was my pie was a tad small). When we ordered pudding we were told we’d have a long wait as there were customers waiting before us, even though all it took was to put a slice of cake on a plate and let us walk out with it.. Some wasps in the orchard, but not much that can be done about that. Told they don’t do cooked breakfast which feels like a missed opportunity (they don’t open till 10:30am and it’s not a working farm anymore apparently). Got told off when bringing my tray back (trying to be helpful), as apparently you take it round the side; appreciation for the effort and a gentle suggestion would have been nice. Generally a lovely visit and took advantage of the eat out to help our so got it half price, therefore can’t complain too much. Some tweaks to allow online table booking and food ordering, and instant handing out of simple desserts (with slightly more gracious attitudes from staff), and it would be 5 stars!

I haven't been able to get to the farm shop very much recently. So I was delighted to be able to visit for lunch again this month. What a lovely warm welcome back from all the friendly ladies working there. The Quiche is still the best around and I hadn't forgotten how good it tastes. The coffee is also delicious. I will try not to leave it so long again before I visit. Can't wait for the better weather to be able to sit outside again and have an ice cream.

We have visited a couple of times and love it there. Set in beautiful surroundings, a very warm welcome is always waiting. The food is delicious with excellent service in a nice relaxing atmosphere.

Vom Salisbury Zentrum zu Fuß gut erreichbar. Nach der Unterführung am Kreisverkehr wird der Weg ruhiger. Am Ende der Britford Lane geht der Weg in einen Trampelpfad über. Links und rechts Brombeeren. Sehr schöner Spaziergang. Die Bedienung im Farmshop ist sehr freundlich und erklärt sehr gerne die eigenen Produkte. Der Tearoom ist gemütlich. Neben süßen und herzhaften Speisen kann man auch Türstopper-Tiere erwerben. Sehr zu empfehlen sind der Carot-Cake und die Quiche mit Salat. Das beste, was man in Salisbury an Tearoom finden kann.

Glücklicherweise haben wir von unserem Landlord den Tipp bekommen verbunden mit einem kleinen Spaziergang die Britford Farm zu besuchen. Dort konnten wir einen herrlichen Creamtea genießen. Wir wurden äußerst freundlich und zuvorkommend bedient. Der Carrot Cake war der Beste, den ich je gegessen habe. Und das waren viele !Aber auch eine warme Quiche mit köstlichem Salat sind zu empfehlen. Wer möchte kann sich anschließend diverse Marmeladen, Gebäcke, Eier, Käse, Pralinen............kaufen und mit nach Hause nehmen.

What a disappointment, we'd thought for so long that it would be a super place for afternoon, especially as we are fairly local and it would be a regular visit. Forget the afternoon teas as it closed at 3.00 today. Who has tea at that time in the afternoon?

Mi amigo y yo fuimos a dar un paseo por el camino para visitar esta pequeña joya. A 5 minutos de Salisbury está escondido del bullicio y el tráfico. Un establo de librea con tienda de la granja y salón de té. Fuimos a almorzar. Ambos tenían un pedazo de quiche casero de brócoli, stilton y nueces (pastelería muy liviana y abundante relleno) y una limonada de frambuesa. Era un día encantador, así que nos sentamos afuera, pero también había muchos asientos en el interior. Excelente servicio . Iremos otra vez y tomaremos los hubbies allí también.

A mi esposa le habían dado un cupón de Britford Farm Shop por su cumpleaños, así que íbamos a tomar un "té helado a la hora de comer". Me atrajo a tener algo sabroso por la elección de las cosas disponibles. Me decidí por la "sopa de abadejo" y el pan crujiente que era encantador; justo para la hora del almuerzo. Helen dijo que su té crema era uno de los mejores que había probado y eso es algo que viene de un adicto al té crema. ! El personal era amable, cortés y fácil de hablar. Iremos de nuevo tan pronto como la circunstancia lo permita. . En general, una "experiencia" encantadora para el almuerzo que recomendamos encarecidamente a cualquiera. . .

14 cuidadores y dos conductores acudieron hoy a nuestro tratamiento. Nuestro personal, amable y servicial, fue encantador, y nuestros deliciosos pasteles y tés cremosos fueron hechos por nuestro anfitrión Robert. ; ; ; ; ; Compré un poco de pastel de café para llevar a casa mi favorito, muy sabroso con una taza de té,,,,, llevamos a cabo una pequeña rifa e hicimos un poco de fondos para ayudar a financiar el próximo octubre.

Vimos una señal para esta tienda de la granja y cafetería en la A 338 mientras nos dirigíamos a Bournemouth. Chico, ¿necesitamos un descanso de un largo y agotador viaje en coche? ¡Qué gran descubrimiento! Comida buena, honesta y sabrosa a precios razonables, todo hecho a pedido con ingredientes saludables. El personal con el que tratamos era encantador, atento pero no agobiante. Si tuviera un lugar como este en mi vecindario, lo usaría regularmente.

Wow this was truly a suprise delight, not been here for years and not sure why. Popped in for a mid week lunch meet. A very warm welcome and a roaring fire to greet us. The farm cafe has a menu that will please anyone's palate, we chose the beetroot and brie soup and quiche with salad. Both super and tasty. Service was friendly and quick considering that they were full. There are many products to buy and a fantastic selection of chocolates too. In the summer you can even eat outside in the front field, which will surely appeal to the buggy brigade! Shall definitely be visiting again soon.

Stopped by spontaneously for lunch with my girlfriend and was impressed from start to finish. Wonderfully presented food, friendly staff, speedy service and good value for money. Will definitely return and recommend. Thank you

Really enjoyed lunch. But! If dogs have to be allowed in please make sure they stay under control of owner. Not bother other diners

Asistí a una fiesta de cumpleaños en el huerto hace unas semanas. Solo había una opción de sándwich que estaban rancios y se colocaban tocando bollos de crema en el mismo plato. Los bollos no se veían ni tenían un sabor a un estándar que yo esperaría para una gran fiesta pagadora. Había un miembro del personal femenino de mediana edad con el pelo gris que me pareció increíblemente grosero, despejando las decoraciones con los invitados aún presentes. Odiaría nombrar nombres aquí, pero pregunté al final y me complace hablar con la gerencia si es necesario. Lamento decir que el miembro del grupo que estaba de fiesta, se quedó llorando. Sin embargo, he regresado para una fiesta funeraria en la tienda de la granja y encontré que el estándar es mucho más aceptable. Las opciones dulces y saladas se sirvieron en platos separados (como era de esperar) y el servicio se mejoró dramáticamente. Hablé con un miembro del personal con cabello rizado marrón y le dije lo impresionada que estaba, ¡por favor, transmita el mensaje nuevamente!

Es una especie de despensa donde también se hacen magníficos postres/dulces y comidas. Venden todo tipo de condimentos típicos ingleses (chutney) y mermeladas caseras. Nosotros comimos una hamburguesa riquísima, una quiche estupenda y jacket potato.

Reservamos el Britford Farm Shop para un almuerzo familiar para celebrar el cumpleaños número 60 de mi esposa el sábado 29 de septiembre. Éramos una gran fiesta y pre-ordenamos nuestras comidas con anticipación, incluyendo algunas variaciones para atender a los niños pequeños. Kate y su equipo nos cuidaron y nos hicieron sentir bienvenidos. La comida era deliciosa y estaba muy caliente. Robert había hecho un super pastel de la Selva Negra para el pastel de cumpleaños que todos disfrutaban. Gracias por un gran día.

I love visiting Britford Farm Shop to sample the delicious home baked food and see the lovely friendly staff. I especially enjoy the Broccoli, Walnut and Stilton Quiche. It is the best Quiche I have ever sampled anywhere. The Chutney served with the Quiche is also delicious and I think you can purchase it from the shop. It is lovely to sit outside weather permitting and observe the ponies from the livery yard and the beautiful flower boxes on display. I always prefer authentic home baked food on small scale rather than mass produced food and this is why I always enjoy a visit to the Farm Shop.

Este lugar podría ser tan bueno. Excelente ubicación, mucho espacio de estacionamiento PERO caen en muchos aspectos.

En primer lugar, esto dejó de ser una tienda de la granja hace algún tiempo y ahora es solo un café. Llegamos para un almuerzo tardío y, para ser justos con ellos, ya parecían haber vendido una gran cantidad de opciones de menú. No había mucho para elegir, algunas quiches de aspecto pesado, sopa o "bocados ligeros" como un miserable rollo de salchicha con una cucharada de chutney de supermercado en el lado de 5 a 65. Ni siquiera sandwiches ni nada que haya llegado a la escena culinaria desde 1975, excepto tal vez una buena máquina de café.

Visited at lunchtime. Food prepared per order - apart from the cakes everything is prepared to order. Friendly welcome, quick service. Quiches were excellent (according to wife). I had trout pate - simply superb. This is not the cheapest but the quality of everything is excellent. So glad we dropped in.

We were looking for a pub when we spotted the sign for Britford Farm Shop and decided to investigate. Who needs alcohol when there is wonderful food, delicious ginger beer and real lemonade and very friendly service? Delightful setting and a lovingly run shop and restaurant.

Coffee and cake.....courtesy of Robert Lewis 'pâtissier'.... Great pit stop and meeting place, in a rural setting. Ideal for cyclists.

I visited with a large group of friends for a summer get together. We had preordered our meals and a couple of our diners had special dietary requirements which were arranged with ease. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh and tasty. The service was smooth and efficient and the staff were very happy and pleasant. Everyone enjoyed themselves, a glorious summer evening in a beautiful setting with stunning food. I would recommend Robert's place to anyone, for a light lunch, coffee and cake or an evening meal, you'll be glad you did.

Had lunch at the Britford Farm Shop today, it was my first visit. Truly delicious,

Stopped off here with my daughter on the spur of the moment for tea, after a spring afternoon walk. What a great find! Everything home-made, and beautifully done and served, and quite delicious. We were lucky to find them still open, because they would normally have been closed by around 3pm, but as they had a pre-booked group still there, they were very kind and accommodating about serving a couple of late customers.

My University class was traveling the West Country for a few days and we stopped here for a cream tea. The scones and tea were wonderful, the atmosphere perfect, and the staff were some of the kindest and most welcoming I've ever met. I 100% recommend it to anyone looking for a place to have some cream tea.

What a lovely cafe, very clean and delicious and well presented food. Will use this as a stop off again in the future

Went in with my mother earlier today-had a pheasant steak and ale pie and my mother had a slice of their tiffin cake. Both were incredible. The range of cakes and hot drinks is impressive and the staff are incredibly welcoming and friendly. P.s. The hot chocolate is also to die for! Will return again soon-I strongly recommend you all pay a visit if you are ever nearby!

Thursday lunchtime, every table occupied for lunc. We were hoping for a farm shop so we were disappointed. I am sure that the food they serve is excellent but this is not a farm shop.

what a delightful find! we were looking for somewhere to got for coffee near Salisbury hospital and came across this place on trip advisor. a really homely atmosphere to the cafe, very welcoming staff and a huge selection of home made treats both sweet and savory.

Situated on the main road out of Salisbury on road to Ringwood and nice place to sop for tea and cakes. Lots of other food choices. Worth a try

We had a very nice light lunch here. We happened to see the sign and turned in. There wasn't much left in the display counter, by way of pastries, but the jacket potatoes were delicious and what we did get from the counter was very...

We got there for a late lunch, coming from Wales en route to the Isle of Wight. We had delicious food and excellent service: friendly, helpful - and patient when we were slow choosing. The atmosphere was inviting and relaxed; apart from food, there was...

On the way back from Old Saruman we stoped at this wonderful place ! We ordered the cheesy pork burgers (£6.95) with teas and coffee. What tasty burgers these were- they came with salad on them as well as a relish - we all couldn't...

What a wonderful afternoon. Just left Robert Lewis and the team after a great afternoon and late lunch. You won't...

We visited Britford Farm Shop for afternoon tea, and we were delighted. We had tea, scones, jam, and clotted cream - all delicious. Others in our party had other baked goods and were equally pleased.

We stopped off here on the way down to Bournemouth for the weekend, requiring a snack, and thought - great, a farm shop with a tea room.

Qué puedo decir, presentamos aquí con mi bebé de 18 meses que estaba en completo y modo off fidget. Después de haber pedido mi almuerzo y nos dimos cuenta de que era poco probable que vais a encontrar para comer, la gente aquí se ofreció a caminar mi bebé alrededor de la granja, así que podía tomar una taza de té y mi almuerzo en paz. Aunque agradezco que no ofrecen guardería, este uno en acto de amabilidad completa me tomo por sorpresa, como madre de gemelos de 18 meses normalmente estoy luchando continuamente, y siempre con hambre! ! !

I visit the farm shop regularly and I am never disappointed. Whether I am having a pot of delicious Russian Caravan Tea, Toasted Cheese Scone, Pork Burger, Cream Tea, Coffee and Cake or an Ice Cream I am always happy with the quality of food served. The ladies in the shop are also lovely and serve everything so well. One of my favourite places to have lunch.

Excellent place to break our journey down to the southern part of the New Forest. Good coffee and a wide choice of cake. Very friendly, helpful staff and the offer of an umbrella to go the outside toilet in the rain.

We found it by accident and are so glad we did! Menu was a good variety of local foods and everything we tried was delicious, the salad was fresh and tasty. The store was nice and we purchased some local sauces to take home. The best part of the visit was the staff and the local patrons. Every one treated us as friends and they shared information about areas of interest and wonderful sights to see.

If you are looking for a delicious lunch and a friendly welcome this is the place for you. My friend chose the mushroom quiche whilst I had the Red Leicester and bacon - both really tasty. My friend can't eat walnuts and the chef very kindly made her some Waldorf Salad without them - nothing was too much trouble. It was difficult to choose between the wonderful selection of cakes, but we bought some almond slices to take away with us which we enjoyed with a cuppa later in the day. The farm shop also sells an interesting range of goods, we shall be back before long.

We were dying for a coffee break and saw the signs for the farm shop and cafe so decided to give it a go.A wonderful little place, full of character and interesting things to see and buy.Having seen the menu decided to have a light lunch instead of just coffee and it was all very good.Now we know it is there will stop her again if passing.

Great food, lovely and fresh, great service, stunning setting. It was my first visit and I loved it. Will definitely be coming back again soon.

The food was very good and a great surprise to find that Michael Snell's Foret Noir gateaux lives on. The whole experience (and it was part of a present for friends) was let down by the service. Was told that the unexpected sunny weather meant they were busier than usual - this shouldn't have meant a somewhat surly manner from one member of staff.

This is a very friendly little farm shop, with one of the staff having a fantastic personality, we only had 3 hot drinks and 2 meals. They do have lovely coffee, and the tea it is tea leaves. I had a sausage roll with a very nice chutney and someone else had a homemade curried parsnip soup with a good chunk of bread. If you are driving past it is worth a stop as the menu is very good.

My Fiance'e and I called in yesterday to see Robert who is producing our wedding cake for us, we were warmly greeted and seated and offered complimentary refreshments, luckily a table became free as they were quite busy, it appeared there were some recently finished renovation which would increase the seating I assume. The coffee and chocolate based pudding was outstanding and very reasonably price.

This is the best place to eat near Salisbury. We have been there several times for lunch, the soup is home made and delivered croustade, and the chocolate cake to die for. The staff are very friendly making you feel welcome.Despite the alterations, the cafe is comfortable and cosy.I will certainly going back again.

Just a few minutes drive from Salisbury, off the road towards Bournemouth, is a small, pretty good tea room. Set amongst the attractively converted farm buildings, down the tiny country lane, it can be seen from the main road nestling amongst the fields. It is a delight to visit. Light meals and fabulous cakes are laid out in a display cabinet, place hour order and it will be brought to your taste table. If you want t to experience the very British afternoon tea, or pop in any time of day for a snack you will be glad you made the effort. Tea is served in exactly what it should be, delicate China cups with matching saucers with the elegance of times past. Whilst there why not take away some of the fabulous bread flours, cakes for later!

Came here for lunch looked nice ordered food hubby had ham salad nan with dementia had smoked chowder i had jacket potato wasnt cheap we had a wheelchair there was a ramp to get in the coffee shop which was good then nan with the wheelchair wanted to go to the loo no ramp not suitable for disabled as to small and a step to get into the loo be careful coming out as you can fall quite easily the staff never said thankyou

Perfect place for lunch on a nice sunny day.The food was excellent and appeared to be largely home made.The service was also excellent and the staff were all so friendly it was a pleasure to eat therePrice wise I think it represented very good value for money.We would definitely go again.

Great sausage rolls, cakes and tea. Everything you would want from your English country tearoom. I just wish that they opened on Sunday's!

If you want a special cake to celebrate something special then look no further. Beautiful to look at and even more delicious to eat. Can't recommend Robert highly enough. Not to be missed.

Just off A338 from Salisbury in a small village farm based café/deli. Excellent upmarket produce. Table inside and outside including in the orchard. Friendly staff a little dizzy but part of the charm and ambience. Not cheap so a bit special outing or treat to take home. Closed Sundays and bank holidays.

Best wedding cake ever...designed and made by the excellent Robert Lewis. Just what Jen & Brian wanted & it was perfect. So many compliments from guests....even found them eating it for breakfast the following day! Thank you!

We stopped off en route to Bournemouth and were seriously impressed. It was 2.30 on a Saturday afternoon but were told that we could still have a lunch.It's not big but it was full and we managed to get the one remaining table.From the moment we entered until we left, the service was first class. Amiable staff who entered into conversation and seemed generally interested in us.And now to the food. Well, it is homemade style and much better than you get in the supermarket. I had a beef and stilton pie with salad. It was delicious.My wife had haddock chowder which got her seal of approval.On display are other goodies and we decided to share a slice of chocolate cake which was moist and just right.Available to buy were various jars of pickles and chutneys. Also in the freezer section were upmarket ready meals.The quality was top class in every area.We know where we will be stopping for lunch on our next trip to Bournemouth.

We stopped here on the fly as we were heading to Bournemouth to grab some lunch and it was wonderful. Just off the main road this is a lovely farm shop surrounded by fields and horses. It is small with seating for around 20 people I estimate, but the quality of food and service sets it apart. All of the food was of a very high standard and the staff were very friendly, including offering free chocolate eggs to our kids as a treat! Definitely worth stopping here rather than at some fast food or services!

The selection of speciality teas is wonderful! I intend to visit regularly and try the lot!! The staff are so very friendly and helpful , and the food is lovely, it is a pleasure to look forward to revisiting. The only downside is the lack of disabled toilet facilities, but the staff were exceptionally helpful on a previous occasion , when my sister, who has MS, and I came for lunch. I can thoroughly recommend this place, it's fresh ,clean,beautifully decorated and quaint.

Went here yesterday morning for coffee, tea and toasted teacake with my mum. Lovely room, beautifully presented, exceptionally friendly. Although we only went for coffee etc the lunch menu was fabulous with plenty of choice to suit all tastes and appetites. Definitely intend to return and would highly recommend it to anyone!

Had a family reunion for six plus 2 infants( well behaved) nothing fazed the staff or was too much trouble the food was delicious and imaginative, a great find.

Just love the chocolate gateau here and the relaxed atmosphere feels like you are miles out of town. No hesitation to recommend.

Do not expect Britford Farm Shop to sell farm vegetables but it does offer the most delicious range of chocolates, cakes, and other epicurean foods. We have had lunch there regularly. Homemade quiches, smoked duck, warming homemade soups, and those cakes (!) tempt even those on the strictest diet. Once the difficult choices are made, the food arrives remarkably quickly and it doesn't disappoint. It is wise to book for lunch as the dining room is small and deservedly popular.Robert, the chef, also offers the opportunity to order his creations for you to take away; just the thing for a family party when you do not want to be tied to the kitchen. Well worth a visit, either to shop or to eat.

Met friends for lunch-the food is the very best home cooked using local produce. I am a vegetarian & had a wonderful quiche [there were lots of interesting options] with a very good salad with great dressing and excellent chutney. Around the table the meat eaters had different meals, all the food came together, piping hot . Home made soups and a wide range of cakes and deserts were on offer. The prices were reasonable for such high quality food. The dining area was not huge so booking might be advised if with a large party, at peak times however there is a large attractive garden with tables and a view of Salisbury Cathedral spire. A great place for a high tea as well.

This is a delightful coffee shop serving superb chocolates and cake. They also make cakes to order. My wife asks for their Black Forest Gateau for her birthday every year: it's expensive but perfect and worth every penny.

Great pies and cakes + friendly atmosphere. Worth a visit and easy to get to with good parking. Large selection of food items on sale.

A lovely small farm shop offering a friendly personal service. Delicious coffee and homemade light bites and cakes. Cosy seating area inside and lovely meadow to sit outside in the summer.

I'm seven and I think this cafe and farm isA nice cosy place they have amazing scones and sausage rolls. The staff were wonderfully friendly and it was a charming place. We were on our way home untilWe looked at this...

We found this place on the edge of a most idyllic village yesterday afternoon. The October sun was shining and there are several tables to use outside in a glorious setting but we opted to sit inside the charming cafe. Business was booming, all staff stretched with high demand. Every one of the staff was smiling despite the pressure they were under to provide an excellent service. We enjoyed waiting for our delicious food, watching people at the counter trying to choose which gorgeous cake or savoury item they would eat from the many available oh and the handcrafted chocolates - perfect. Our order of cream teas and Dorset apple cake with an enormous helping of whipped cream arrived with smiles.The clotted cream was perfect, and the portions so generous we bought extra scones so we could use it all. Proper tea served in China pots too. We bought slices of divine home-made quiche to take home for supper and we couldn't leave without a cone of the lovely home-made ice cream. I like to think I'm a cream tea connoisseur having spent many a Sunday afternoon searching for the perfect scone and cream in Dorset Devon and Cornwall. Now I have found it and only an hour from my home, I'm delighted.

Stopped for coffee on a Saturday afternoon. They were busy but after waiting nearly thirty minutes for two coffees, decided to ask for our money back and leave. We asked on two occasions when our coffees would arrive to be told on the first occasion they were on their way. The second time we were told that they were very busy, until I pointed out that they had fulfilled three orders since taking ours. They then fulfilled another two orders fore we asked for our money backorderes since taking ours. Was then told they would be coming next. After ful

Stopped in here for lunch with my parents after hearing good things about the place.Had steak and stilton pie. It came with dressed mixed leaves and half a jacket potato. Very very yummy, we all enjoyed our lunches.Carrot cake was lovely too.

Good coffee and nice people and position - quite expensive! we think Oxfordshire prices exhorbitant but £3.00 for a piece of cake.......

Stopped here whilst attending nearby New Hall hospital. Very expensive, small portions. Tiny scones.

This is a (small) cafe rather than a farm shop. 6 friends visited for lunch. We booked in advance as there are only a limited number of tables. Most of us ordered salads of one sort or another and these, though pricey, were actually tastier than I had expected. My smoked chicken was good. One friend had quiche which was a overdone. She did point this out but was told that was the colour of the quiche. To be fair it was a dull coloured quiche but it was actually burnt on the edge. It was served with relies/pickle, not even a salad leaf in site. At nearly £6 for a slice of quiche that is a bit steep.There wasn't much choice for dessert. I shared a carrot cake with a friend. It was disappointingly dry.The coffees were ok.The service could definitely have been better. We asked 3 times before we got extra water and 3 times before we got an extra plate. I did buy a jar of the spicey tomato relish, which I had enjoyed on my salad. However, I did notice that the pack of 6 rolls on sale for £2.99 had mould in them!I probably wouldn't recommend this to friends.

I was looking for somewhere different to have lunch following shopping in Salisbury. I would agree that it is not a farm shop where people can buy fruit and veg but thats may be to come as there is a lot of work being carried out on the surrounding buildings including thatching a barn.I was pleased to see that there is presently no childrens playground although there is outside picnic area. So a quiet time was in order. I do have grandchildren but I feel there are enough places that pander to the small people already.The cafe as I really think it should be named is situated on a retired farm with a couple of holiday cottages in the farmyard. We chose to eat in as the day was rather hot.We sat for a while as there appeared to be no notice as to whether it was table service or not. Eventually we did order and then we found the staff very friendly.We echose home made lemonade to drink which was excellent and arrived swiftly. My meal was trout salad, really lovely and fresh. My husband had a meat pie which was also very good.This was followed up by the home made rum and raison icecream. Delicious. You must try this.I would say that this is not the cheapest place to eat but if you wish to experience something a little different whilst within easy reach of Salisbury this is great place.Unfortunately we forgot to bring a cold boax so didn't try the chocolate. Shame.Afterwards we had a quiet stroll down to the village of Britford near the river and looked in the church. I have to say this wassuch a nice thing to do on a sunny afternoon.

Since moving to this side of Salisbury we have been frequenting Britford Farm Shop for a coffee and a slice of cake regularly. Both, of which, are lovely! The staff are always incredibly friendly and the homemade cake selection is always vast.Today we also picked up a couple of ice creams for the children, which they loved. We haven't stopped for lunch yet, but the quiche's, pies and sausage rolls always look great.. They are next on my to do list. There are also a few bits and bobs you can pick up (crackers, flour, chutneys etc).It's got parking and is a great spot to stop on your way in or out of Salibury.

The following is (in the scheme of things) trivial, however, not very happy with this farm shop. Went to the farm shop and had 2 still homemade lemonades (small glasses) and one scoop of ice cream in a cone. Total price? A staggering £7.70. I have no idea how this breaks down, however, assuming £2.50 for the ice cream (comparing to hand made chocolate shop in Salisbury) the lemonade came to £2.60 each! More expensive than coffee, tea etc. ridiculous pricing won’t be back. (Oh and cone was cracked so rather than being given a fresh cone, the cracked cone was placed inside a new cone. Was asked if ok and was too stunned to say no).

On the road south of Salisbury, en route to Lover (place: not person!) and looking for a somewhere to get a lunch-time bite to eat, we saw the sign for "farm shop" and "lunch". Glad we did.Lovely little shop / café in a very pleasant location with animals in the adjacent fields. The staff were most friendly and helpful and the service was very good. We enjoyed our lunches from a varied menu and I would thoroughly recommend the mushroom pie with bubble & squeak. Reasonable prices for the meals but the price can rise if you partake of the delicious cakes, slices and chocolates. All very tempting and, of course, we gave in to that temptation. Delicious.

Like other reviewers, totally disappointed when we arrived to find it wasn't a farm shop! We were expecting to buy local bacon, sausages, some veg and cheeses, so very disappointed to find at tea room! Having said that, we thought as we were there we would have a pot of tea and slice of cake - marvellous! Great choice of cake. We also had a look at the menu, looked good and reasonably priced. Great to be able to sit outside too. Did start eyeing up the handmade chocolates, so know where to go for birthday treats for the girls! If you can get over the disappointment of it not being a farm shop and take it for what it is, a country café and tea room, you will not be disappointed! We will visit many times again, for tea and cake, but sadly, not for sausages and bacon!!

Excellent place - we had my father in law's funeral tea here and they looked after us so well. Very pretty, seating inside or out and there is a tractor for kids to play on. The highlight was drinking tea from beautiful china tea cups. I want to go back and buy some of those hand made chocolates......

Passing on our way to Bournemouth we called in on spec as we passed.Small and very friendly staff. It was a lovely day so we ate outside on the spacious grassed area.Not a massive menu but they also had a large selection of cakes, sandwiches, baked potatoes.We had home baked pies which were delicious.We would certainly call in again if we were passing.

It's really a hidden gem and worth a visit if you are looking for homemade cakes and cream tea. We had a slice of cake, fruit scones and a few wholemeal sausage rolls. Honestly the best scones, gateau and sausage rolls I've ever had. Melt in your mouth pastry with a nice peppery sausagemeat. Soft homemade scones and the cake was up there with the ones we have at the German inlaws. Was a busy lunchtime and the staff suggested reservations as they tend to always fill up. Offered a booster seat and highchair to my toddler and were so polite to her (even though she was a bit messy with her flaky pastry snack). Planning another visit soon as the haddock chowder and pies looked very tasty.

I am fortunate that this is not far from where I live and always a special treat whether I go in for a refreshing lose leaf tea and a piece of the heavenly foret noir gateau or a tasty chicken leek and ham pie with delicious chutney. It is a lovely spot with plenty of parking and the staff are always very warm and welcoming, thank you :)

The cream teas are magnificent: the scones come out warm and there are perfect servings of clotted cream and jam. You can have the choice of plain scones or fruited. We went for the fruited. The tea is served in small pots and the cups are bone china. Most civilised! You have a choice of teas: the are four types of Earl Grey! The wife went for the Imperial; I had bog standard Assam. But I must say the Assam had a very subtle mint aftertaste. Lovely! I've been there twice and I've only had the cream teas because they are so lovely. Looking at the food display cabinet is wonderful: chocolates that look handmade, tiffin and an assortment of cakes. But its not just tea and cakes: I see they are doing handmade pies. The pasty looks wonderful! Too many superlatives for now! Not sure how long it will take for me to make my way onto the other foodstuffs. Could be some time!

As said in another review, this is not a farm shop and should not be advertised or promoted as such as it is misleading. It is a cafe, selling coffee, tea and cakes. There are a few deli items such as cheese, a few pies and chutneys. But where is the local veg, where is the local meat, sausages? We made a special trip for local produce and we were very disappointed. We didn't stay as whilst it looked a nice enough cafe, with pleasant enough surroundings, we wanted a farm shop, not a cafe. Change your name, please.... it's misleading and unfair to prospective customers.

We came upon Britford Farm Shop while on our way back through Salisbury to Dorset. I am so glad we decided to stop by on a lovely sunny Sunday afternoon. We had a deliciously fresh afternoon tea, scones were warm, fruity and light; all served with lovely jam and an abundance of fresh clotted cream. Tea came in a lovely tea pot, no stainless steel leaky ones here. Very pleasant and happy staff, Robert was a delight and so friendly. We will without a doubt be back. This place gives Fortnum and Mason' of London a run for their money, standard is far superior.

Britford Farm is just 2 mins by car outside Salisbury centre or a great 25 minute walk through some of the classic 'John Constable' English countrywide. It is as much a restaurant and coffee/cake shop as a farm shop and the food for a family reunion yesterday was really good and at £6-7 per head was great value. There was a range of salads with duck, pies, salmon etc as well as a vegetarian option as a beetroot, tomato & brie soup of the day which was outstanding. There is also a chocolate bar (with some of the best Belgium chocolates in town) as well as a homemade ice cream section - of which the owner, Robert Lewis, is justly proud. It is a small'ish venue with perhaps 25 seats inside but has a fabulous orchard with tables and umbrellas overlooking Salisbury cathedral.

A lovely farm cafe which sells fresh pies and quiches and also lovely homemade cakes, chocolates and ice cream. We had the quiche with salad which was very nice. The quiche was very fresh and very tasty! We also shared the coffee cake which was lovely. I would say this is more of a cafe than a shop we did however buy a few things to take home. The pork pie was lovely as was the fresh cheese. Highly recommended and will be visiting very often I think.

Robert always delivers incredible food and service. We are regular visitors, but the last time I was here, none of his amazing chocolate ganache were available for sale. The next thing I know, Robert comes out baring a box of freshly made ganache for me. What more could you want? There's always a fabulous selection of delicious local produce, all reasonably priced. Britford Farm produces undoubtedly the BEST cakes and produce in Salisbury and is always a winner for us!

Called in here to see what they had and was disappointed. We expected it to be a shop as it is actually called a 'Farm Shop'. Where are the local fruits and vegetables, local meats etc? There are freshly made chocolates and cakes and not much else really.They seem to be more of a cafe. If that works for them, and it seem to, they should drop the 'Shop' bit in the name to avoid confusion. I expect a lot of people go in there expecting for example fresh asparagus, local fruits such as strawberries, meats and other foods to buy from the counter.
