Cheerbrook Farm Shop and Cafe. in Cheshire East

Stopped in for a brunch and some shopping. Nice relaxed atmosphere and polite and attentive staff. We ordered various brunchy type items which were all excellent but the standout dish was the granola bowl. Unfortunately we don’t live in the area as it would be a ‘go to’ place to eat. Highly recommended and I am a right fussy git.

An absolutely super cooked Brekkie. We will be returning again! The two of us arrived without booking (was not aware this was a thing) and put on a table for 6. We had offered to share with another couple, but the staff did not allow table shares, even though we offered. It felt awkward as pairs were being turned away. 4/5

Service at deli counter excellent Service at butchery counter excellent Big smiles and very friendly. Checkout again excellent Decided to have lunch. Quality and food freshness again excellent Fries outstanding. Only negative comment about our Cheerbrook experience the service in the restaurant was at best average and way below what we received in all other areas of the shop.It’s a beautiful shop in a lovely location but cafe side an energy and enthusiasm boost definitely needed.We will be back and we will be watching

It’s our local farm shop, so I may be a bit biased. If you want to enjoy the cafe, made sure you book in advance; it is very popular and for a good reason, it’s lovely. The produce is of high quality, much better than the Supermarkets, but at a price premium. There is a nice size car park and they do regular events throughout the year. Cheerbrook is in my opinion well worth a visit.

My family and I enjoyed a delicious Sunday brunch at Cheerbrook over Easter. The staff were friendly, polite and eager to help, and the food was made to a very high standard, but didn't cost the Earth! What a delightful setting for a bite to eat - we'll be sure to visit again soon!

Cheerbrooks is a lovely cafe and farm shop/butchers. The cafe serves fantastic quality food. I had the breakfast which I struggled to finish. The sausages are really nice and the bacon is thick. The customer service is great. The cafe is busy so I would recommend booking if possible to avoid disappointment. It isn't large although in nice weather there are additional tables outside. The price is reasonable for the quality of food that you get. There are certainly cheaper places to go but the ingredients uses aren't comparable. We spent around £30 on breakfast and drinks for 2 people.

Fantastic afternoon tea. Great selection of sandwiches and cakes. Catered for vegetarian needs with notice. Lovely setting. Great service. Good value. Really enjoyable. Thank you!

We ordered afternoon tea for two of our party which was really good value for money, the only criticism is that when we asked about the sandwiches for the vegetarian option , we couldn't choose as they were all pre made. Sausage roll and vegetarian roll were delicious. Our child had sausage and chips from the kids menu which were really good quality sausages, sadly too thick for our child maybe a thinner one for kids, however this was a personal choice. We had rarebit on toast which was lovely. We asked if we could have a portion of the garlic mushrooms without the toast and was just told no. Staff were pleasant and the shop had lots of choice.

Called in this morning for a breakfast with a friend, awesome full breakfast with equally as good service from the staff. Nothing too much trouble and backed up by top notch coffee (coffee snob sorry!). Biggest sausages I have ever had on a full english!

Lovely spot, excellent well stocked meat and produce section. This included variouse trinkets which we also purchased. Staff in both the shop and cafe well charming. Most notably the young lady who served us, I wish I'd asked her name. She checked out the beers ect for my husband with a smile on her face, despite being busy. A real asset. Sadly, what has reduced my score was the food quality in the cafe. Having travelled for the meat counter my husband had great expectations of the Steak Pie. What arrived was actually a meat and potato type offering, which may have been acceptable had the main component not been potato. I don't think we'd rush back to eat a meal.

Lovely shop with a nice selection of wines and quality produce. Lovely helpful young staff - a pleasant shopping experience!

My first visit to the cafe, I took the trouble to look at the menu online beforehand, so the timings were of no surprise to me. We were greeted by a lovely, friendly young lady who also took our order. Food arrived quickly, beautifully presented, fresh and absolutely delicious! It wasn’t the cheapest place, but personally, I don’t mind paying for quality. The only minor issue for me was the tea was very weak, other than that, a lovely place to eat. Farm shop next door was beautifully presented , a small Christmas section which was lovely, fantastic range of meats and other food.

Odd greeting “have you booked?” Immediately on arrival, place had plenty of empty tables. Strangely if you arrived before noon, only breakfast options were available, as lunch is served at noon, saw people leaving as this is not understandable as many want to eat an early lunch, and given you have to wait for it to be cooked you are well passed noon. There should be go to ideas such as soup, salads and sandwiches available earlier than noon to cover, these would be prepared around 11am anyway Staff don’t seem well trained, menu rather bland and dated for the variety of diets these days and coffee was as dull as Costa will not return

For the second time in two weeks we attempted to have drinks/a snack here only to walk away having been made to feel unwelcome (we had been hoping the first time was just a one-off/unfortunate). We popped in just before 12 yesterday before doing a shop at the wonderful farm shop. We have frequented the cafe in and off for about 5 years. As with our previous experience we were met (eventually) with 'have you booked?'. As with many other reviews here, the tables were largely free with just 2/3 reserved signs on. We assured the rather suspicious looking girl at the entrance that we just wanted a quick drink and snack/light lunch. 'We can only give you about half an hour'. 'That's fine we'll order quickly, no problem'. This clearly didn't go down well as we then met with another obstacle, 'We don't start working on lunch orders for another ten minutes'. Seriously? You have empty tables and a couple wanting a quick snack and you still couldn't put an order through quickly for the benefit of both parties? We walked away as by this point were feeling very unwelcome. This is a cafe not a fine-dining restaurant. You will have lots of walk-ins from people shopping next door should you choose to change your processes and/or customer service to accommodate them. Absolutely bonkers. I've been to far more upmarket/busy restaurants who have bent over backwards to fit us in, and if not been very apologetic and encouraged us to come back. This place puts you on the 'naughty step' for not booking, sucks it's cheeks in to see if they can be bothered fitting you in, and then throws a final spanner in the works ('cant start your order yet') as a final test of your stamina. Well Cheerbrook cafe, we've finally got the message, you don't want our custom any more and we won't be coming back. Farm shop? Brilliant. But if they are separate businesses I'd be worried about the cafe negatively impacting on the reputation of the shop.

This is a lovely place to eat lunch we even did a slight detour to make sure we arrived in time for lunch. Not disappointed our Chicken Kebabs and oriental coleslaw and salad was one of the best luncheons we have eaten. Chicken moist and so tender. The coleslaw was perfect, need to make this at home.

This is the place for what I think of as a hearty English farm breakfast. There’s no chopped mushrooms and bready sausages here, so if you’re looking for a “caff” you’ll be sorely disappointed. Swap everything you can think of as normal and replace it with free range restaurant quality farm shop produce, thoughtfully cooked (rosemary roasted mushroom) free range poached egg, cooked to your liking, thick bacon like in the hood old days and proper granary toast, beans and a large hash brown! Of course, lighter appetites won’t get disappointed. Definitely need to be an early bird as breakfast stops at 11, and booking is definitely a must if you don’t want to risk getting a seat!!

Great quality artisan items available if you are looking for a unique food based gift. The butchery counter is top class and the deli counter makes you want to eat everything. Cafe is great too

We were given a voucher by our family & called for breakfast on Tuesday, 18th July We were warmly greeted & shown to a table for two, drinks & food order took a while but the food was well worth waiting for What did disturb us was the amount of people who were turned away, when tables were empty (I do realise they may have tables reserved) but to also see a table for four with only one person seated & a table for six with three people just drinking coffee when we witnessed 11/12 potentially diners turned away & probably will never return ! Maybe a separate area for diners & drinks only clients would work better so as not to disappoint repeat business

Went yesterday afternoon for coffe and cake (which is always yummy). It was busy which was fine with us as we were prepared to wait. We were however, prepared to wait but not be ignored. We stood inside waiting to be acknowledged but we were simply ignored. The person taking the orders ( I think was the owner) was flitting from table to table, kept going past us but we were obviously invisible. They can't use the excuse of being short handed for everything as that doesn't excuse rudeness A simple "I'll be with you shortly" would have done the trick. We ended up going to the girl at the cash register to place our order. She was delightful. It will be a while before or if we go again.

Enjoyed a lovely mushroom quiche but was disappointed that the table which had been quickly wiped, i.e, smeared, before we sat down was so sticky and grim that our crockery stuck to it. This seems to be a common failing in many eateries who use a spray cleaner and then simply swirl the remains of food around the table. Yuckity yuck!

Had another fantastic breakfast/brunch at Cheerbrooks today. Welcoming staff, fast service, top notch, delicious food and great value.

We came for the farm shop and decided to have breakfast. We ordered an eggs Benedict and a Welsh rarebit with bacon on the side. Both were absolutely delicious. We also had a hot chocolate and a English Breakfast tea. The bill was £25, Service was friendly and good.

Met my partner there after cycling, our plan was have lunch then Christmas stock-up in the farm shop. Can’t comment on the lunch as they wouldn’t serve us - even though 4 or 5 free tables said they were fully booked for the next 2...

Came here for afternoon tea. One vegetarian and one normal. Excellent quality - included foods that cheerbrook sells in the farm shop. Was all delicious And beautifully presented. Unlimited tea or coffee. Service was friendly and professional. Thank you for a lovely relaxing afternoon!

Over the years I have purchased from Cheerbrook, the staff are friendly and helpful. The meat and cakes are beautiful but I cannot say that about the cream cakes. I have purchased chocolate eclairs, strawberry tarts, lemon meringue. Yesterday I purchased cream slices and chocolate...

First time here and definitely will return. We didn't book but luckily we got a table. Staff friendly and all work together as a team. We ordered the cheerbrook breakfast and I couldn't finish it all. Very good ingredients used and was delicious. Will return...

Great breakfast spot! Visited here as a family of 6 for breakfast and couldn’t be happier, amazing selection of food all freshly cooked and really tasty! The staff were all extremely friendly and I wouldn’t hesitate to visit here again!

We can’t recommend Cheerbrooks enough for their fantastic breakfasts and indeed all of their menu. Their full breakfast is amazing, fabulous produce, perfectly cooked and good value. Booking is essential as it is always so popular. On warmer days, we have been able to sit...

I took my mum here for ice cream. She has dementia and wanted a coffee followed by the ice cream. The lady who served use was excellent and accommodated our needs. The coffee was excellent and the ice cream wonderful

Oh dear, called in today whilst visiting Cheshire for few days and seeing the signs each day we went out, it sounded just our thing. My husband went into the cafe to sit and hadn't realised you needed to ask for a table. Only 3...

Visited cheerbrooks for lunch with my children. The staff were very helpful with our food intolerances (milk and gluten). Food was delicious.

Really enjoyed my lunch with my little boy at Cheerbrook. Real produce from the shop used in our food including delicious chutney. Great gifts and cards too and I grabbed a few tasty bits from the shop to take home. Will be back

Really enjoy a run out to Cheerbrook. The meat is so good I buy for a week or more for the freezer. Nice veg and some interesting cards and gifts.

If you are happy to be told there are no available seats for coffees but you may sit outside on damp seats in drizzle without shelter then this place is for you. We wont be returning. This used to be a favourite stop when using...

Is it reasonable to expect a tea cake to be served with a hot beverage if ordered at the same time? Not according to Cheerbrooks. Their system, which they are not prepared to change I was forthrightly told by their so called supervisor, is to...

I love the farm shop and cafe however I’m put off visiting due to no dog policy. I live locally and would love to be able to pop in on my walk and grab some food or have a coffee but their policy hinders this....

Very disappointed with the overcooked pies however was annoyed with the off cream in the cake. Ignored my complaint too.

The farm shop was awesome. Lots of different things to try. The scotch eggs and pork pies are gorgeous. Maple and mustard scotch eggs. Chile pork pies. I had to try them all. I will definitely be returning.

Stopped here enroute to North Wales for a quick stop. The farm shop was well stocked with lots of local and tempting produce. We wanted coffee plus something to go with it and had a scone. The coffee was good although they only had cows milk and soy. I prefer oat milk. My partner had an almond & cherry scone which came with clotted cream while my cheese one came with butter. The scones were tasty and staff were friendly and efficient

The shop is amazing, well worth a visit 5 stars . The bar b q meat is well top quality. Lovely home made quiches, pies etc .There is a lovely cafe on site which sell wonder breakfast , lunch and cakes and tray bakes.Our cream scones and mochas were very very nice . Well enjoyed the time we spent on site .

The cafe is really bad, they do everything possible to not serve you, babble on about policies, let you sit down, give you menus then tell you they have a limited menu and aren’t actually using the menu that they gave you just a few minutes earlier, they openly smile when you say your leaving if you can’t get a basic item from a cafe. Then you hear them laugh as your walking away, why bother to open, the customer focus here is appalling, give it a miss as you will struggle to get served.

This was my First time visiting both the farm shop, and the cafe. Both were really good.The farm shop , was quality. The meats were gorgeous, and once cooked, so full of flavour. There was plenty of choice, from fresh veg, to pastries, bread, cheese etc loved it, and will return.The cafe was very clean, and the quality of food was impressive, loved it.

Had breakfast which was delicious and good value at £9.50 including toast and a drink. Went to the shop and purchased a chicken and almond korma ready meal - fabulous. The piece de resistance was spatchcock beef in a teriyaki sauce (fillet tail) which was just faultless, tender and well marinated. Lovely place to visit

Nice farm shop with a lovely cafe. Ham and pickle and beef and horseradish sandwiches were served extremely quickly and very tasty. Both came with a nice side salad. Very good value.

Great place food is fantastic And the sausages are the best you will get anywhere. I’ve sent lots of people there and everyone I’ve sent says the same. If you haven’t been already this is a must visit.

Whenever I visit , there is always top quality Fresh Food. They are now really excelling at Cheese . I bought a Piece of their Red Leicester that was the best I had ever tasted. I wont be buying it anywhere else now.!

We stopped by en route to sainsbury. ~The quality of the food was decent but it comes at a price. The tea could be better but the main course was pretty filling and wholesome. We would visit again as it sells local food.

I was asked for a £10 deposit when I ordered the meat for Xmas. I expected it to be deducted when I collected and paid for the meat. I was astounded to be told it was to be used the next time I visited and purchased something from the shop. Is it legal to do this?

Birthday afternoon tea with friends. Great service, food was fresh , well presented and tasted delicious. Fabulous afternoon , not rushed , lots of tea and great company

Friendly welcome, breakfast ordered and arrived in a timely manner tea and coffee excellent as was all the breakfast food. Would recommend

Always a friendly welcome by helpful staff. Good menu choice of locally sourced food, great breakfasts and lunch options. Cafe very clean, nice views across the countryside.

Been twice recently to the cafe. Modern, contemporary feel, nicely furnished with pleasant views through the large glass windows.Waitress service, you wait to be seated, friendly staff. Good selection of hot drinks at very competitive prices. Stayed on for lunch on both occasions and had their handmade quiche served with salad which was really tasty and very good value at £5.95!Will be back for more!

A great experience , food is excellent as is tea /coffee . Clean , friendly and good service . Can thoroughly recommend

A farm shop that is on the level with the best in the country and have had awards for their butchery. The cafe was opened not only to attract customers but give them the chance to try the products. Whats not to like.

Stopped here twice recently, once for coffee and once for lunch. Both occasions were enjoyable in terms of food and service but difficult to hold a conversation when busy. It is clear the venue is very popular and perhaps the numbers overwhelm the kitchen.

It has been awhile since we last visited the cafe which we always enjoy visiting. We were delighted with the change of decor very nice & relaxing atmosphere. We had a lovely friendly greeting from the waitress & was shown to our table. She explained that the "New " Autumn menu was available today in fact it was a really delicious menu ranging from lite bites or a main meal. They also provide the most delicious cakes & afternoon tea at a reasonable price. I had the meat pie mashed potato & vegetables which was fresh served with gravy. It was absolutely delicious & can highly recommend this dish. The service is good & promptly served . We certainly return great place with all the improvements. Also the Farm Shop is worth a visit a great array of fresh produce. We are very lucky to have this place in our town.

We would recommend the cafe great staff and food aways fresh the staff in the kitchen are a credit to the industry

We recently moved to Nantwich from Cumbria. We called into Cheerbrook for a coffee, wow what a find !! The shop and cafe were both exceptionally clean , the staff smartly dressed , very knowledgeable about the meat etc , randall were smiling and welcoming, the homemade corned beef to die for. The meat was obviously well hung. The prices were comparable with supermarkets "best" range. The cafe is lovely and the light lunches good value. We particularly like the creamed garlic mushrooms on granary toast. All the meals The cafe is very popular especially at lunchtime.

A great place for a quick bite in pleasant surroundings with friendly and helpful staff - we will be going back . :)

Really surprised to find this deli / farm shop / cafe, the butcher section had so many lovely items that I was drooling about but when I saw the homemade corned beef I just had to get some together with an absolutely gorgeous pork pie, really loved looking at all the different things on sale & could easily spent a weeks wage just in there, I will be back soon - sooner the better

As someone who enjoys Afternoon Tea, it was a pleasure to experience the delicious Farmers Afternoon Tea at Cheerbrooks. Our waitress, Sarah, was very friendly, and took out drink order efficiently. Our food arrived (I had the vegetarian option) and looked very impressive. Apologising for replacing the quiche for sweet potato fries- this was unnecessary as they were melt in the mouth- honestly the best I’ve ever tasted! The Goats Cheese and roasted vegetables were delicious, and the perfect size portion. My mini halloumi and mushroom slider was gorgeous, and the accompaniment of homemade coleslaw was perfect! The deserts of scone with clotted cream and jam, caramel shortbread and a brownie were delicious and light. Sarah kindly brought me a bag to bring home anything I hadn’t managed to eat, so I’ll be having them tonight. Everything about Cheerbrooks is fabulous, the food, the staff and the beautiful setting, overlooking the fields of animals and duck pond. Staff even calmly came over to remove a few wasps and bees that had naturally made their way inside. I can’t recommend it highly enough, and will definitely be back very soon.

This is an excellent farm shop full of high quality goods, really top notch place, plenty of parking, great shop and cafe, give it a go it’s really worth a visit.

Good food however overall service is appalling long waits and people walking out and shouting for people to serve them for the bill

I love the fact that Cheerbrook is a local, independent business, and we try to go whenever we can. The meat products are excellent, if very expensive, there are an interesting variety of foods and the surrounding grounds are very pleasant.

Had a really lovely afternoon tea here. Everything was lovely quality and nicely presented. Booked a table by the picture windows overlooking fields. It was a very hot day but the aircon in the cafe kept us comfortable. Will definitely visit again, and would recommend to others.

Free parking. Very clean shop area. The meat counter produce is so good. Not cheap but excellent quality. Staff can advise on best ways to cook meats if you’re not sure. Very good selection of food and drink. Restaurant makes fab coffee. Well worth a visit.

We stopped off for lunch on the off chance. It was busy with a large party of senior citizens, but we were quickly accomodated.

Popped in late on to buy some Braising Steak for a pie. The meat cooked was tender and beautiful and a real cut above the rest. Worth a mention here as meat can be so disappointing but can be relied upon from here.

Just had afternoon tea on Mothering Sunday and it was spot-on. The scones and cakes were lovely, as were the sandwiches, which were absolutely delicious and incredibly fresh. Will definitely visit again.

The farm shop is beautifully laid out and have some lovely products but I have just had the shock of my life - I purchased a beef rib joint, looked lovely and I just happened to be in there buying some other products. When I got it home I saw that they had charged me £28.95 per kilo. I immediately phoned another very well known, high quality butchers in Nantwich who told me the same thing was £19.95 - quality would have been at least equal. I telephoned Cheerbrook to check this was not a mistake on the label/charging to be told that it was not and I could of/should of looked at the pries on the labels in the fridge.

We decided to try the cafe here for a change to our usual and was not disappointed. Food was lovely, Excellent service and a good browse around the farm shop after. A good little place to visit.

This was our first evening event here. It was a superb, great food, well presented and faultless staff. The adverstisng did not mention any Gluten Free offer but speaking to Zoe on the phone in the office was first class giving us the GF options as well as how to pay on line if we wanted to rather than returning to the shop. The GF and regular pies were superb and now on our must buy when we are next shopping. We chose a bottle of wine of our choice as an extra was excellent, another item to buy on our next shopping visit.

Excellent cake as usual. Friendly and helpful service. Pleasant and relaxed surroundings. Will definitely return.

We called in for breakfast on our way to North Wales. Their breakfasts are excellent and good value and the staff are all friendly and very efficient. The choice of food available in their Farm Shop is excellent and very good quality.

Went for breakfast this morning. Really good food, waitress very helpful. Loved the view. Looked at a large variety of cakes but resisted but will be back for an afternoon tea another time. Very clean loos! (Which I always feel are indicative of the cleanliness elsewhere). Overall very impressed. I rate 5 star.

Lots of really good quality fresh food, butchers are very helpful. I have had breakfast at the cafe, lovely food and very pleasant surroundings.

Been here a few times now and every time the food has been exceptionally good. All cooked fresh, plenty to eat, presented nicely. Good service, very friendly service. The view from the cafe is lovely. Highly recommend a visit. The farm shop has lovely food too.

Meet up with some friends for breakfast both the food and service were good loved the choices of breakfast will be revisiting soon

Visited here for the first time and VERY impressed. The food was delicious, reasonably priced and the staff helpful and friendly. The range and quality of the food in the shop was impressive too.

What a lovely lunch, we just happened to pass Cheerbrook Farm on the way home, so glad we stopped.

Love this place. Great farm shop for fresh meats both plain and pre prepared. Cafe is lovely but be advised if you want more than coffee and cake you need to order before 3pm. Plenty of parking.

Following on from my last review, we visited again and had the steak sandwich and tripled cooked chips again. This time the chips were excellent - crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. Needless to say, the steak sandwich was to die for.

First visit of the year and great new menu and service especially by Sylvio who is a credit to the smooth running of the cafe floor. If I had a cafe I'd be poaching her to run it for me.

This is a wonderful Farm shop with truly wonderful fresh meat counter and select wines and regional foods, and wonderful unique products. But, the coffee shop at the end is a very big let down. Paper menus dirty and crumpled, very slow service and looks like the kitchen run by kids who were singing rapper songs! Coffee not great, and general cleanliness around not great either. Real shame as it lets the other side down dramatically.

My son suggested we all meet here for breakfast, no wonder there was a queue at opening time.

Just a quick thank you for a great salad and a fantastic piece of homemade chocolate cake I didn’t know I needed :)

Excellent afternoon tea - every thing home made - the sandwiches were all fresh and tasty, scones light and the cakes were delicious. All at a very reasonable price

Cheerbrooks has a new menu and HOORAY the excellent steak sandwich is on permanently. Previously it had been a special only. I am sure the other items offered are equally good but as we live several miles away we do not get to visit as often as we would like. Hence, when the steak sandwich was on I would have it. Now I can have it every time we visit which may ell be more often now because their teak sandwich is the tastiest I have had in this country. Served with delicious salad on a ciabatta roll, it is soooooh tender. Try it medium rare for a nice pink inside. We had a side of triple cooked chips which were tasty but could have been crisper. For the third dip the fat needs to be hotter. Wash it down with a bottle of Merlot for under a tenner and you have a lunch at a very reasonable price.

The shop is amazing have gone to for years, does some really really nice products. not cheap but 100% worth it. Great for a bbq in summer. The cafe is ok, only small so very busy and service is very slow. Menu abit limited but food nice enough.

You can rely on cheerbrook for good quality food. Lovely for brunch/ coffee and a bit of food shopping

VERY Limited menu ,a side salad with a dressing can be avoided but personally discovering mayo under my burger not good as someone who doesn't like mayo (not mentioned on menu) the shop on the other hand is great and well worth a visit...

Really good meat and vegetarian breakfast. Good portions well cooked tasty food. Excellent tea to wash it down.

Burnt muffin hidden under scrambled egg. Sorry that should be cremated muffin and it had been hidden. Why would you do that? Why would you want to serve a charcoal black muffin?

The summer Sunday brunch menu is very limited. No full English/veggie cooked breakfast. No options to add veggie sides (grilled tomato? mushroom? spinach?) to breakfast options - considering it's a farm cafe wouldn't it be a good idea to showcase the farm's produce? Picked scrambled eggs and smoked salmon on toast for myself and banana and waffles for my toddler. Informed later that kitchen and shop ran out of banana so was given option of apples or strawberries on waffle. Asked waitress to check if apples could be stewed as was for my 1 year old. Waffles came out but with raw apple (odd accompaniment to waffles!). Then asked if this could be swapped with strawberries as I had asked the waitress to check beforehand if the apples could be stewed. Shop had meantime run out of strawberries so cafe kindly offered to stew apples. Smoked salmon and scrambled eggs was ok but amount of salmon and eggs disproportionate to amount of toast ( serves of salmon and egg were generous enough, the toast was very big) therefore meal was a little dry. When waffles arrived with stewed apple, these were nice. Coffee not bad. Noticed others had ordered sausage sandwich or bacon sandwich but no condiments available (sauce or chutneys - another missed opportunity to showcase the shop's stock?) Farmshop well stocked, lots of choice. Will visit farmshop again but cafe needs to broaden choices for Sundays.

We visited the shop and cafe for the first time today. The shop sells a variety of high quality local produce. True, it is not cheap but is certainly on a par with other similar Cheshire establishments. If you want quality produce then a price must be paid.

Good range of fresh and frozen meats, cheeses, preserves, bread, flour etc. Prices are what you expect at a farm shop.

Visited just after lunch for 4 meals. The quiche (cheese and tomato ) 2 small pieces a mini tomato cut in half 1 slice cucumber a small handful of rocket £5:75

Arrived at 11:30am Saturday morning and found ourselves a table as no one seemed to want to seat us. We waited 10 minutes and had to grab a waitress to ask for a menu. We noted there were many customers sitting waiting for breakfasts to come out of the kitchen. We had missed breakfast ( fair enough our fault) so ordered two Welsh Rarebit with bacon (bacon an extra!). Our coffees arrived and we drank them - still no food. We noticed breakfasts were still coming out after 12:10 so those customers had been waiting since before we arrived even! Eventually just as we were about to ask where the food was it arrived. Two servings of the most disgusting Welsh Rarebit ever seen. Like cold yellow soup on one piece of toast with a single piece of bacon. NOT value for money and awful. The Welsh Rarebit was runny yellow soup like consistency with bits of grated cheese that hadn’t been cooked into the mixture - also over flavoured with mustard. Not a gentle background hint of mustard as I would expect. We paid for our coffees and left without eating the meals. Someone needs to get this place sorted and quickly or this venue will be closing. I’m usually a very positive reviewer but I found nothing to say good about this place. How sad

Came here last month although this was not our first visit. The produce on display is eye catching with a spaceous layout. The butchers counter in particular is just amazing, you are spoilt for choice especially if you are entertaining or barbequing! The staff are as their name suggests cheerful and helpful. The tea room/cafe is delightful with so many lovely treats or a nice stop for a coffee or cup of tea. Cannot recommend highly enough.

I went for a vegetarian breakfast, lovely local produce. Big portions and eggs to !y liking, hubby had eggs Benedict and loved it!
