Charleton Fruit Farm Coffee Shop in Angus

went down today for a spot of lunch and some strawberry picking. we had a fantastic time at the farm! Inside the cafe looks lovely, they have a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. the menu was great with something for everyone, we liked how there was an option for a light bite or a more substational meal. I had the Brisket Panini special and my partner had the pulled pork burger, both were a perfect size and incredibly tasty. We were then offered desserts, we had an affogato and the strawberry pancake stack, both of which looked and tasted amazing! The service was top notch and every staff member was really informative and friendly, they made us feel very welcome during our time here. After lunch we went strawberry picking in the fields which was a great time and a really nice way to spend the day. we will definitely be back and would 100 percent reccomend anyone to try it out! ❤️

Lucky enough to have moved down to Hillside and Charleton Farm is right on our doorstep. We've been regular visitors since arriving here and it never fails to disappoint. The menu is varied enough to cover most tastes and requirements and the quality is always top notch. The majority of ingredients are locally sourced or produced by the farm itself. Whether it's a full lunch for a birthday celebration, a quick stop for coffee & cake or a spot of breakfast it's always delivered. Whenever we have visitors we always bring them too. Lovely food, lovely staff, lovely atmosphere and a lovely setting. You can't go wrong

Spotted a sign for this place on the road out of Montrose, and stopped by to check it out. The play park was excellent for our child, and the Halloween themed photo ops etc were a bonus. We went into the restaurant/cafe for food, and while it did take a while for our order to be taken, it didn't take too long for food to come out. Decent coffees and some lovely cakes. The farm shop had a nice selection of items too. Would swing by again on a sunny day to let the kid tire herself out.

The food was bland . Alot of cobwebs and didn't look very clean. No atmosphere. Staff was nice. Unfortunately i will never go back.

We had an excellent lunch here. It looked quite busy when we arrived but we were made welcome and soon seated. They have outdoor seating some of which is undercover. Their lunch menu includes burgers, salads, paninis, baked potatoes, mac'n'cheese. Service was swift, polite and professional. Sadly no room for pudding for me, but the boys had affogato and the gooiest- looking chocolate brownie. The breakfast menu (10- 11:30) looked very tempting. Plenty of car-parking on site, about 5 min out of montrose heading north, also a shop and pick your own fruit. Not far from St Cyrus nature reserve which is a great place for a walk.

Not been here for a good few years and glad to see it is still going strong with lots of outdoor seating as well as inside. Lovely paninis for lunch. Service prompt and friendly. Could have hand picked our own strawberries had we wanted to but we did buy some treats from the farmshop.

Always a lovely welcome. Very busy just now as loads of folk come to pick their own berries. No worries re parking, though as overflow is in the adjacent field. The food is always delicious and plenty of it. I really enjoy the vegan platters, a great selection of tasty treats, accompanied by oatcakes or chunky bread. If you still have room ,there is the vegan brownie to linger over and don't miss the coffee! The wee shop is worth a poke around, for foodie treats or gift shopping.

We stumbled across this place for lunch after a walk along St Cyrus beach. Were looking for somewhere dog friendly with lovely food and this ticked all the boxes. You can sit inside or outside with dogs, outside has both covered and non-covered tables so great no matter the weather. Lovely menu and food was delicious. Also has a farm shop and pick-your-own berries when in season, along with playback for kids. Set in gorgeous countryside away from hustle and bustle of town. Would definitely recommend.

Arrived very close to last orders for lunch but the staff were happy to accommodate us. Food great - huge & tasty burger, great panini, and an absolutely ginormous fab strawberry tart, worth the visit just for that! Lovely setting and really nice staff. Very dog friendly too. We’re only here for a few days but we will be back before we leave!

We stopped here for lunch, having been here before we were looking forward to it. Too cold to sit outside so were shown to a table inside, the log burner was kicking out smoke into the room and making it very hazy inside. The smoke left our clothes smelling of it all day. We ordered mac n cheese, with a filter coffee and a diet coke. The mac n cheese was ok but could have been warmer. Filter coffee was asked for without milk but cup was still only half full. The young waitress was friendly and polite. We had finished our lunch and still had some drinks to finish when the older waitress appeared with our bill and the payment machine, bit abrupt and we got the feeling we were being hurried out despite the fact there were only 3 couples sitting at this time. Not the best lunch out we've had !

We visited at short notice but the staff were so friendly helpful and accomodating. The menu was very good with lots of options and good choices for children. The food tasted great and was very delicious. Reasonably priced. Great setting as it is a converted barn so we were in a booth, plenty of room for the eight of us.

Staff on arrival very friendly and welcoming we hadn’t booked a table however this was not a problem We got seated near the log fire to keep us warm due to it been so cold out which was lovely and cosy. Food very tasty I ordered a jacket potato which was huge very good value for money! Will definitely be back very soon.

fantastic place, we went for breakfast, we received a lovely warm welcome, spoke to Elaine who gave us a wee background knowledge of the working farm of the farm, lovely friendly staff, food was delicious, coffee was perfect, the small wee farm shop attached to the restaurant is truly unique, looking forward to visiting Christmas time.

Visited midweek for lunch with friends. Unlike during the school holidays there was no need to book ahead. A lovely early autumn day allowed us to eat outside and, even though there was a chance of rain the semi-covered tables ensured that had it arrived lunch would not have been spoiled. The staff were attentive but not overbearing, polite, and knowledgeable of the menu. The meno was extensive and full of freshly prepared meals, many appeared to have been made from local produce The food, although not particularly cheap was plentiful and filling but left enough room for the very tasty desserts. All in all a great experience.

Had a lovely lunch served by great, attentive young staff. Slightly expensive but ok as a treat. However we had a young baby with us and found the changing facilities to be ridiculous and in this day and age frankly disgraceful! The tiniest space imaginable given to a fold down changing table. Impossible for a mum on her own to use without putting changing bag on the floor below right in front of the toilet....disgusting! Also cannot get a pushchair anywhere near the room. Come on.... for a family centred place its unbelievable.

Quite a busy hive of activity, which made parking a bit of a task. After a little soirée down a country road, we were soon parked up and ready to eat. Potato & Leek soup. , They certainly weren't short on the leeks. Very nice soup accompanied by a quality panini and (the greatest chips ever) my friends words. Finished off with a tremendous Sticky toffee pudding All in all a great experience, aided by a very enthusiastic band of young waiters and waitresses.

Superb stop for lunch and desert! Very good quality food and massive portions! Superbly fresh ingredients

Very warm welcome here today and tasty lunch. Delicious soup, salad and warm scone. So glad we made the journey and will back

Spotted sign as we were passing and decided to call in for an afternoon cuppa . Sat in old Stable area, ordered Scones which when arrived were huge, served with pot of lovely Raspberry Jam. Staff friendly. Now on our list of places to revisit.

Great place to take the family and have superb local farm produce. The Ploughmans platter is amazing! If you are a fan of strawberry tarts you are in for a treat! Pick your own strawberrys then make your own tarts on site. Staff lovely, great wee farm shop, I managed to get beetroot ketchup! Highly recommended.

Popped in for lunch with a friend to celebrate my birthday. The Ploughman's Lunch was excellent. High quality cheeses and nicely presented plus it filled me up too - which is rare. Decent filter coffee (with refills) and the usual selection of puddings and beautifully baked cakes to round things off.Can't really go wrong if you're looking for a decent bite in pleasant surroundings with friendly people to serve you.

Good food excellent service varied menu Farmhouse breakfast fill you up with local produce excellent menu for all Kid play area Farm shop with nick nacks foods all local

In the midst of the lockdown the Charleton Fruit Farm Coffee Shop has adapted really well as they have a considerable garden area with the seating well over 2 metres apart. They now serve from a kiosk and the menu is good and the strawberry tarts absolutely superb.

You can pick soft fruit in season, go into the cafe and your children can have fun at the fort! It’s a fabulous place for very fresh fruit and even white asparagus in seasons. Delicious,

The food was excellent. Very healthy choices. We sat outside, we enjoyed a nice break after fruit picking. There was good choices for all. Will return next time we visit Scotland.

We spent an afternoon picking berries and at the kids play area. It was really busy and the kids had an amazing afternoon. We had ice cream, then later on stopped for coffee and the most amazing strawberry tarts. Nice staff at the coffee shop and in the shop which sells the berries.

Very nice farm cafe, bigger than I expected, with a nice outdoor eating area also. Quirky decor inside, and an equally quirky menu. Delicious sandwiches, I had tuna with spicy gooseberry and coriander chutney, just lovely, and that bit different. Service was prompt and friendly, prices very reasonable. I also noticed a good sized children’s playground outside, suitable for various ages. There is also a small farm shop. A very pleasant time spent at Charleton farm.

Such a great place for whole family and friends Staff always happy to help Sweet always perfect especially carmel brownie

Went here with my mum for a weekday lunch treat. I didn't expect there to be so much choice particularly for desserts! I had a halloumi, guacamole and sun dried tomato flatbread with was divine and something I would have again. Everything was fresh and warm and they make it to your request so if there's something you don't want they can take it off. Would recommend eating here especially to try their strawberry tarts!

Had lunch with the family after picking strawberries. Soup and cheese scone was delicious, as were sandwiches ordered but real highlight was dessert. Strawberry tart, chocolate brownie and cookie tart were amazing but the meringue was the really star. Will be back.

We had coffees and strawberry tarts. Kids had whippet ice cream cones which they loved. Strawberry tarts were enormous and tasted delicious! Place was really busy as it was a beautiful day.

Hade a late lunch here today, the menu was extensive with some interesting food combinations. I opted for the tapas and was delighted with the selection of around a dozen different dishes. Everything was well presented and fresh. Will definitely return to have this again. It was also a treat to eat outdoors under the canopy on a day with frequent showers ,just not so good for the poor waitresses who had been getting soaked off and on all day.

Pleasant outdoor table. Inside tables are available. Excellent soup and sandwich combo. Best of all is the strawberry tart . Not to be missed

Stopped here for snack lunch. Wide and varied menu and very fast and efficient service. What makes this a place to visit is it's curious setting. Old stables and barns have been converted into little sections for tables and a shop. Duck your head before going into the main barn and enjoy the curios hung up on the wall. Outside the 'grow your own' was closed as it was too early in the season but well worth a visit for families and children.

It was my first time visiting here today after hearing a lot of good things about Charleton. It was a nice day which meant lots of people were sitting outside eating and there was a huge area for children to also play in. I had a baked potato and a cake to finish which were both lovely. The food was made with fresh ingredients and you’re also given a big serving which fills you up. Would definitely recommend a visit here.

Usually visit 2 or 3 times a year but didn't make it in 2018, realised yesterday that we had missed it ! Nice location really good food and very good staff. Give it a try if your near by.

Quirky and cute. Ate there this morning and opted for the sweet potato & coconut soup with toasted tuna and gooseberry chutney ciabatta roll. Absolutely delicious. Great value too. Filtered coffee was decent. Cosy table with the stove burner (first time I visited was during the warm summer where we ate outside). Really efficient service. Great outdoor and indoor areas for younger children. Was annoyed to see a family chowing down packets of crisps with their kiddies in the boot obviously having a picnic right in front of the PLEASE NO PICNICS sign. C'mon...that's a bit cheeky using the facilities and then not giving something back to this local business!

I went for lunch here and it was all descend out for Christmas. It is a great atmosphere and along with very good food and service it is a great place to go for a meal.

Love this little cafe. The building is a bit hotch porch which really adds to its charm. We were given a warm welcome, seated at a table right by the warm fire and served quickly.

Visited yesterday so we could see all the Halloween decorations....the place looks amazing!! A lot of effort put in.

A lovely place to sit and let your bairn roam around freely and of course make a new friend. After awhile its so nice to see a nice selection of dishes and drinks on the menu. I love baked tatties, I have to say this is the best place for a baked tattie with a good plate full of salad too, so so very felling. Strawberries was certainly a hit when we got home, my daughter finished the whole tub. I suppose she most have been really hungry as she only had a ice-cream cone with a flake and water. Lovely nice cheery friendly staff which makes all the better place to enjoy a nice relaxed Sunday afternoon.

Tea and Coffee with snacks most enjoyable. good service and nice surroundings. highly recommend especially families with kids

This is a regular place we bring visitors to, as it not only has an excellent menu but the food is always good as is the service. It is hard not to have the amazing strawberry tarts when visiting.

Great place for real fine strawberry tarts which are massive and extremely moreish . Several large berries in each tart with just the right amount of cream & sauce .

Very busy coffee shop, fruit farm and children's play area. The menu is fresh and varied and the freshly made strawberry tarts make your eyes pop out! Then you taste them and the joy continues. Amazing. Good service from the young staff.

Went especially for gluten free menu as her in doors has not had a strawberry tart since being diagnosed as celiac and it didn't disappoint. We both had baked potatoes with different fillings and portion size was plentiful. I had a fruit sundae to follow. All in all great food, good service and reasonably priced. A must place visit for anybody that's celiac. Will defo be back.

Lunch was so tasty. We both had paninis one with barbeque chicken and other with cheese, very good. We were able to sit outside in the sunshine, nothing better than lunch outside, like being on holiday

We went there with our son and two granddaughters, aged 5 and 1 1/2. It was a glorious day and the place was absolutely packed. Apart from being able to have food, people were out picking strawberries to buy and there is a very large play area for the children. Our grandchildren had a wonderful time. As well as the coffee shop/ restaurant which serves excellent food, there is an ice cream shop inside the play area. There are plenty of picnic tables in the play area and food from the restaurant can be served in this area. This is well worth a visit if you have children or grandchildren of if you just want to go for a very good meal.

I have had several visits to this coffee shop but I find it hard to resist choosing their strawberry tarts as their strawberries are the best I have ever tasted anywhere.

Not quite the season for strawberry picking but we had a delicious lunch here and the staff here are brilliant. Will return one day to pick our own. Thanks

Well worth a visit as you move north out of Montrose. Plenty of parking , plus childrens playground , shop and pick your own fruit. The food is generous and freshly made - if you are hungry try the high tea - fab.

Excellent food, good value and options for the children. Their desserts are divine, so definitely worth trying! Don’t forget to get a punnet of strawberries too. Delicious!!

Had a fabulous tea and one of the biggest Strawberry Tarts I have ever seen, matched only by its exquisite taste. If your in the area pop in and treat yourself as you will not be disappointed. See you soon.

First thing the staff do is bring water for the dog! Good choice of food on menu, home baking is excellent too to go with your tea & coffee

Definitely worth a trip here for a coffee and a slice of cake! They also do light meals, which look fantastic. The seating area is a good size and is really light & airy. You can sit outside in the summer months too which is great. They have a shop joined on to the coffee shop section which sells free from products as well as other good quality foods & drinks. Recommend this place.

Get a decent coffee machine and start serving a good cappuccino.

Love this place they serve a mean bacon butty,a bit pricey maybe but worth it. You can sit outside or inside.

The Charleton Fruit Farm Coffee Shop is just out of Montrose. Absolutely delicious, fresh, home cooked food. Staff helpful and efficient and happy to make suggestions about food choices. Great place for children to play while parents enjoy their food.

The entrance to this Coffee Shop is on a busy road and not in a great place. It could be made much safer to exit.

American here.. wife is Scottish, and we visit Scotland once every 2 years. This place is great. Kids can play and parents can relax in the cafe. Strawberry tart is simply amazing. You won't find better strawberries and/or raspberries anywhere.

Love this place! Loads to do for the little ones to do outside, mine love it here, the food is amazing in the cafe, offers baked potatoes paninis, soup with lots of cakes too, and I love the Gift shop it has so much and...

Food ok Pudding Amazing Price a little high Great place for kids Nice walks and shop. Great day out .

Very impressed with this café. There is a great menu which caters for wide variety of diets including vegan and...

Firstly it is a fab way to spend time with the kids.

We popped in here after some fruit picking. Strawberry tarts were delicious and not bad value for money. Scones were good too.

Four adults and six small children we visited this place to pick berries for tarts and jam and to generally have a fun day out.When you enter you are faced with big notices telling you not to picnic.There are staff walking about telling people not to eat their own food while they are visiting.Its a very odd set up.We were having a sandwich and coke in the boot of our car when we were approached by a "picnic policeman"anxiously telling us not picnic.When asked why he said that if we ate our own food we wouldn't buy their food at the cafe.I explained that we had no intention of using the cafe but that we were about to spend a lot of money buying other products.The penny just didn't drop and we were immediately alienated by the conflict caused by this illogical policy.We ate our sandwiches and the children were happy playing in the fields but its a real downer for families coming with a smile on their faces to be confronted by an aggressive atmosphere and confrontational staff..They need to sort this out by perhaps opening a picnic area with rubbish bins and toilets and offering sandwitches and drinks etc from an onsite stall.Further the play park is not a safe or suitable place for small children.It needs risk assessed and its a real accident waiting to happen spot.Visiting traffic is badly supervised and it crosses the path of playing children.I don't understand how the local Council permit this place to operate.I think that i will let them know whats going on.Finally inadequate toilet facilities that are dirty into the bargain.Disgraceful.Don't go here if you want a family day out

We stopped by with two elderly relatives for a nice farm lunch, it is a very popular place in summer. The food was good but way overpriced, for four of us it came to £38! That was with three paninis and a goats cheese salad, and four coffees. The quality of meals did not equate to the cost. Overall we would go back but for a coffee and a piece of cake rather than a meal. I also bought a punnet on strawberries to take home and unfortunately some of them were very hard as the leaves had already been taken out.

Great place to let the kids run around whilst we enjoyed take away coffee and cakes. The play area outside is fenced off so totally secure and lots of fun things for the kids to play with whilst we enjoyed the fabulous cakes! Love that they are served with the famous charleton berries. Lovely! Not a reflection on the food at all but must mention that the road out is really quite hard to get out of without "nudging" out to check there are no cars coming. Just something to be aware of as it's a very fast road. Will be back with the little one for sure

If you are on the way north up the A90 heading towards Stonehaven, this is a great place for a morning coffee or a lunch. Good food, pleasant staff.

Called in here for coffee. We sat inside, one area was very noisy & chaotic full of families, loads of children running around. Our coffee was average, quite weak really. Had a look at the farm shop, they had very nice loking asparagus & strawberries for sale, & homemade jams.

This is a nice place for a coffee or a cake. Service was good too, but two soups and two coffees at just under £17 !!Fine dining prices at a farm cafe

Very nice food is good and ther is plenty for the kids to do outside and enjoy them self thers a gift shop and you can by fresh fruit aswell

The coffee shop is great for a snack and a drink after picking your own fruit and veg in the fields. The homemade strawberry tart is excellent.

Had a soup and panini combo for lunch, which was very nice. Soup was homemade and sandwiches freshly prepared. The speciality here is the cakes-they are superb! Service wasn't great, but was early in the season, so could still be learning on the job.

Great place for families as it has a big outdoor play area.Also a fab place for couples.Visit the right time of year and pick your own fruit. Too early for us this year .Service is very good as the staff are friendly, polite and well turned out.I won't recommend any food, just see for yourself. If you are disappointed then you need to get a life. Many thanks to all.

I have been here countless times before and have always had a positive experience; the food is generally very good and my little girl loves the play area. Sadly this has now been overshadowed by the extremely negative experience I had today which has left me feeling very disappointed. I'm not normally one to write negative reviews as I understand that nowhere is perfect and everywhere will get it wrong once in a while, but today took the biscuit. Essentially I was unsatisfied with my lunch so brought it to the attention of a waitress. The waitress handled it very well and I was more than satisfied with the option of a replacement. The owner however took it upon herself to come over and make me justify at least four times why I wasn't satisfied with the lunch. The same person returned at the end when we questioned why I was being charged for half a meal and the response we received was less than favourable to say the least. I'd go as far to say I've never received such bad customer service, from an owner no less! Thankfully this style of customer service doesn't seem to have filtered down to the remaining staff as they are always pleasant and helpful. So my advice is go, enjoy the food but would recommend you don't make any complaints as they are not taken well!

At Hallowen the decorations were fantastic-very original. Food amazing as usual. Returned again beginning of December the menu had changed equally superb food. Christmas decorations lovely (after scary skeletons and spiders).The service is good and the staff friendly

Fantastic play area for the kids, but i would eat somewhere else. Food came far to quickly for what we had ordered. Also really don,t like that they have "Slave" printed on there t-shirts.

Stopped here for lunch. The eating areas have been converted from stables and make a great dining room. We came just before Halloween and they had really 'gone to town' on the decoration. A nice log burning stove made for a cosy atmosphere in a quite a large area and staff were very pleasant. Lunches were straightforward baked potato combinations, panini etc but tasty and well presented. I am sure that calling in for a coffee and cake would be equally pleasant. One word of warning - not about the coffee shop but about the road entrance. It is not easily spotted (there are signs but...) and requires a sharp left turn, off a busy road, if coming from Montrose which can be a bit scary if not prepared for it. All in all, well worth a visit for a light lunch or coffee.

We went strawberry picking at charlton fruit farm and also went on the go-carts and inside the castle and in the little tubes. I would say that this is definitely a great place for kids.

The restaurant is bright and spacious but a little cramped with not much room between tables. Staff were very friendly and efficient. Food was freshly prepared and tasty. Portions were generous. The real highlight was the deserts, there is a huge range of tray bakes, meringues, pies and cheesecakes etc. Well worth a visit.

Lovely food and nice surroundings. Have a fantastic playpark for children - free when visiting the Fruit Farm. Staff very friendly.

Five types of sausages and five cheeses with amazing hot breadsticks, butter and oil and vinegar followed by "small" fresh fruit desserts. Attentive service and a very reasonable bill. There is a play area for kids and a wood burning stove inside to keep you cosy.This place is a gem.

My husband and I popped to Charleton fruit farm for some lunch and were greeted with their Halloween display which was incredible! The menu has a wide variety of options of which I had a panini and my husband had the afternoon tea. Both were exceptional and the service was very fast. The staff were all very friendly and told us a lot about the area and what was planned for Christmas so we will definately be back!

This farm is highly popular with children as the owners have gone out of their way to provide excellent play facilities for children.There are trampolines, a race track, a fort and little wendy houses for children to explore.There is usually home made soup at lunch time and in the summer you can pick your own fruit. My grandchildren enjoy Charleton more than any other place in the Montrose area. The shop provides gifts and good home made jams and relishes.

This is a great place to eat and a good place to take children. Outside the restaurant they have a very good activity area for children. The food is of very high quality and is well presented and is good value for money. They have a good farm shop as well. well worth a visit if you are in the area.

Have been coming here for years and always had a good experience. Food and service good and the play area is great for kids and it's free! Gluten free and vegetarian options available. Can get busy especially during summertime so go early.

This is a place we go to have lunch three times a. Year. The atmosphere is stepping out of the hurrly burrly in life. The staff are brilliant,happy and great with their customers and in a natural way. They are fun to witness, chatty humorous. Obviously when it gets really busy they have a job to do but still great with it.The hostess is great and spends a bit of time with the diners. It's all done in a pleasant way. We're already had a great time here and not even got round to the food which includes vegetarian options.Lovely menu, soups always a nice starter and the rest of the menu never disappointed.The build up to Halloween is a piece of genious and our favourite time to visit.

The day we were there, the sun was out and the air was warm, so we sat in the outside area. We were offered the menus promptly, and our order was sent electronically to the kitchen from the waitress's hand-held gadget. Despite it being a busy day during the school holidays, and at the height of fruit picking on the farm, our soup and bread arrived almost as soon as the order was sent. Both the soups we had were tasty, well seasoned and a good sized bowl full. We then fell for a desert from the menu: both were oversized for our preference, decorated with cream and their own raspberries, but far far too sweet. A case for a sugar tax if ever there was one!

Stopped for coffee & scones after fruit picking, the scones were the worst I've had, a supermarkets own brand would be better. Small and only about 2 cm high. I knew they weren't made onsite, but they could be so much better. The blackcurrant jam was really runny too, not worth £2.25. Disappointing.

Fermatici per colazione. Avevo tanto sentito parlare di questo posto che, vista l'occasione presentatasi un giorno, abbiamo deciso di farci un salto per iniziare la giornata. Mai scelta fu migliore.I piatti salati (la vera colazione all'inglese) erano invitanti e molto buoni, per non parlare dei dolci fatti con le fragole cresciute direttamente nella Farm, qualcosa di superbo, straordinario, da farci un bis e anche due.Nota positiva: la panna montata, che solitamente è o acquosa oppure stucchevole, era perfetta, cremosa e con un sapore che esaltava la frutta senza coprirla.Siamo rimasti positivamente colpiti, e se mi ricapita ci rifarò di certo un giro.

We took our twin Granddaughters to Charleton for lunch, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Hubby had a Panini with Cheese, ham and chilli jam and a side salad, the girls had Coronation Chicken sandwiches which came with Nachos, and I had a baked potato with tuna and red onion and a side salad and Nachos. It was served quicker than we expected and was delicious. I couldn't finish my baked tattle although I ate most of the Tuna and the leafy salad with the delicious dressing on it. After lunch the girls went to play in the huge play park which has every conceivable toy for toddlers, small and large kids, a ground level Trampoline, Play houses, hay bales for climbing on, a huge fort, slides, swings, pedal carts on a course. Brilliant. You could in fact spend the whole day there. I'd recommend it to everyone. Especially the deliciously huge strawberry tarts and other enormous desserts served with fresh berries from the farm. Yummy!

The strawberry tart, and the green tea and raspberry sponge cake were delicious. The "vegan" (as stated on the menu) sandwich (without cheese) arrived with cheese, but was swapped over.The service was mixed. One of the girls was lovely and helpful, however the main focus with the rest seemed to be on chatting amongst themselves, and another even proceeded to almost run away from me as I chased after her, repeatedly calling to get her attention, to rush back to continue her conversation with her pal, the other server.We found the general seating area to be very dark and gloomy, in comparison to the "families only" area through the other side, which looked bright and cheery and welcoming (not sure who decides what age a child has to be in order for a family to be deemed a "family").We would come back, as the cakes were lovely, and nice to have a refreshing cuppa after a session of fruit picking. The rasps, strawberries and blackcurrants we picked were really tasty!

Another awesome day at Charleton Farm.Went berry picking last week here and was brilliant. Plenty of good fruit left to pick & the pricing was beyond reasonable. We collected 2 full plastic tubs. 1 of strawberries and the other of yellow Raspberries. Now a quarter of these tubs from tescos or Asdas would cost £2-3 each tub. Both our tubs came to £3.50 at Charleton. So needless to say it's a awesomely cheap family day out.Excellent.

Spent the morning picking fruit at the farm and finished off with a couple of lattes, a bacon and egg butty and a scone. Service was prompt and friendly, the cafe/restaurant was nicely furnished both indoors and outside. The food was nicely presented and delicious. The menu was comprehensive with good choices for breakfast and lunch. We will definitely be going back for more!

Can't rate this highly enough. The food is terrific - environment is great - kids love it. Plenty of parking.

Went here for a coffee and cake. The cakes were terrific served with fresh fruit and cream was a nice extra. The coffee was good but my Latte glass was not filled. It was a smallish glass and only filled to three quarters of an inch from the top. Would have got 5 stars if the coffee had been a full glass.

Excellent for lunch or coffee and cake winter or summer. Warms fires in the barn in winter - homemade soup is excellent - and sit out in the summer with fabulous strawberry tarts with your coffee. Excellent children's play area for families and you can also pick your own strawberries and raspberries in season. Well worth a visit.

Fresh food good service. Large portions too but still made room for my meringue.Would definitely recommend would have given 5 stars but the tables need a thorough cleaning and the toilet situation not the best. Other than that would recommend

We had lunch here a couple of times on our trip. Food was nice and kids love the play area. Would like to see a bit more option on the menu though. Recommend the strawberry tarts.
