Cholderton Farm Shop and Cafe in Wiltshire

We always stop at the farm shop on our way through to Dorset and again on the way home. Welcoming staff, delicious food on the menu. It also has a lovely fresh food counter with lots to choose from. Fab coffee choices. On a warm day you can sit outside in the barn with chickens running around as it is a working farm. Recommend a visit.

Stopped here to get a bite to eat. Sandwiches and a jacket potato, all very nice. This is a working farm with all the sights and smells you would expect. Chickens running about all over the place! Great spot and I would definitely recommend.

Lovely cafe in a beautiful setting. Great service, quality food and very competitive prices. Dog friendly, handy for an A303 stop

We were able to meet two French friends here, one of whom was disabled, and staff were extremely helpful. Thanks for that. We stayed a while and saw the comings and goings. This place is popular. Food and drinks were all good. We will come again. Only one toilet that I saw, clean and functional. Outdoor seating as well as cafe. Hens running around so park carefully.

Perfect stop off for lunch on our way from Kent to Bath. Pies, salad, cake, ice cream - thank you! A lovely start to our break.

Popped in for a tea and coffee but decided to have 2 sausage and egg sandwiches too.... We were shocked at the price which was £20 ?? We decided to wait until the food came to see what it was like because we don't mind paying over the odds if the food was good. We assumed we would have maybe a side salad and maybe a few crisps to accompany thr sandwich....ehh no. Out came the tea and coffee which was ok Out came the sandwiches... No fancy bread here...just cheap supermarket thin sliced bread..2 sausages cut in half with 1 egg in the middle...nothing else on the plate lol. Not exactly worth over £7 plus each ....I've had a lot better from roadside burger vans for £4 ... The sausages had a tough skin on which had to be peeled off which also wasn't great. We couldn't comment on other food but what we had was definitely overpriced for what we got .

It may not be much to look at; a small cafe/ shop with a few indoor tables and a barn for sitting outside, but this place is great. Delightful staff chat away with you. Service is so quick. Ingredients all seem top quality, tasty and freshly cooked. I had the breakfast. Proper sausage and bacon. Plenty of toast. Decent price too. A hidden treasure, and even better on a sunny day.

We visited here for breakfast on our way to Devon, the service was brilliant and the food well cooked and local produce. A definite stop off the A303

The farm is lovely (and the coffee good) but as for the cafe, I truly resent being sold/charged for something a business has *no intention* to serve you. I ordered an avocado smash with "black sesame, lime and chili flakes" on crusty sourdough bread, with a price to match. Ohhh nice right? The sourdough bread was very thin and none better than bread from a plastic bag, but ok. The real issue was there was a (not great looking) cubed avo and plain fried egg laid on top - and none of the advertised seasonings or flavors. So I went to the kitchen and requested the items advertised and watched while the cook was directed to find the items somewhere (so they were not out or prepped for serving) and then I listened to him say they don't even have lime, and after some scrambling I was served lemon, and a ramekin of plain *white* sesame thrown together with some chili flakes. So two of the three ingredients are not even kept in stock and I was given not even so much as an acknowledgment of this fact as they handed it to me with a vibe that I was being a pain. Sorry, no. If you want to serve plain and simple fair that's extremely fine, but don't pretend it's something more. And if you've run out of/changed the items, update the menus.

What a find !! Just off the A303 & well worth it Small car park opposite farm buildings & tractors with the chickens running freely around Real countryside Nice buzzy cafe, very good service My wife had toasted tea cake, well toasted, lots of butter, great ! I had bacon ciabatta, wow! Real bacon & plenty of it, certainly did not need anything else Good pot of tea & coffee Will certainly return when next in the area

I find it difficult to understand some of the criticisms that are being raised. My wife and I eat here quite regularly and it is what it says. A very good local farm shop which serves decent breakfasts and sandwiches for a very reasonable price with a attentive and professional staff.

Oh dear! While the Farm Shop is really good, the tea time experience was rather less so. Tea was spilt on the table from one of several tea pots being served, and not cleared up let alone a clean-up offer made. Then a slice of lemon drizzle cake was tipped off its plate onto the table and grasped by the waiter's hand (iced top and bottom), and replaced without apology, with a look skywards. Again no offer of apology or replacement. Incompetance on this scale doesn't reflect well on those who prepare such lovely pies and cakes. Hopefully our next visit will better reflect the quality of this place.

Very friendly welcome & service. Little gem of a place, lovely outdoor area on a warm day. We had a great breakfast - excellent value. Will be back!

We stopped here on the way to, and on the way back, from Cornwall. On the way there (approx 9.30am a week ago) service was ok, and pretty quick, although we only offered drinks and a sausage sandwich. The sandwich was ok but the bread wasn’t the quality I’d expect for £6. The sausages were tasty though. It was clean, easy to park and near the main road so decided we’d use it for our last stop on the return journey. Today we got there around 2pm and it was very busy. The person at the counter was pretty abrasive and told us there was a 40 minute wait for food. I can understand being tired and busy, but that’s part and parcel of the service industry. We ordered cakes and coffees instead of waiting for hot food, and neither of us were particularly impressed with either. The coffee was very weak. The Victoria sponge was bland with a very synthetic tasting cream filling. Overall the offering is average, and we’ll try somewhere else next time.

Friendly, professional and quick service. The full english was very tasty, a nice simple version done well with not too much oil! Perfect

Never been here before but my friend said it was very good. I must admit, I was surprised that the farm shop is so small. I ordered avocado and egg on toast with a latte whilst my friend ordered a cheese jacket potato. We decided to sit outside which is very rustic with chickens walking around, definitely not for me. Our drinks turned up first and very strong and our food turned up two minutes later. I don't know if they were waiting for the potato being cooked before bringing both meals out, but mine was cold and one of the eggs were broken! My friend asked if I wanted to complain, but I thought by the time I take it back in the shop and wait for a new one, my friend would have finished. My food was tasty but due to it being cold I couldn't eat it all. If I'm honest, it has put me off coming again.

Stopped for lunch while travelling home and so glad we did. We shared their home made sausage roll and the chicken club sandwich. Excellent quality ingredients made these a great choice. Barn area was really pleasant to sit in on a sunny afternoon. I am already planning a return trip!

Youd have to go a long way to beat the cooked breakfast both in terms of quality and value. The full english for around £8 which includes toast and marmalade is superb. Very good quality ingredients and tasty. nothing swimming in fat like usual places!! Absolutley love it and will be back

Driving through the English countryside in Wiltshire, we stopped for coffee here and ended up getting the “cream tea” - a pot of tea, scones,jam and clotted cream. It was divine - the raisin scones are my favorite and the cream was perfect! I e had a few of these to know what to compare to and this was near the top. So, if you’re in the area, make a stop - you won’t be sorry

Always call in here when in the area- they serve excellent breakfasts, lovely pot of tea and amazing cakes. There's a lovely farm shop too with nice produce on sale. Easy parking and the option of having your meal in the barn area for the real farmyard experience. The staff provide excellent customer service- well done and thank you. Will be back!

Just off the A303. Easy to park. Dog friendly. Good choice of drinks and snacks. Toilet. Indoor and outdoor covered seating (with dogs).

Always call in here when in the area- fabulous selection of food and drinks, lovely restful location and great place to stop on a long journey. Enjoyed delicious bacon sandwich and a great pot of tea. Super outside area and a good range of treats in the farm shop too! Highly recommended; first class customer service.

We stopped for lunch at Cholderton on our way to Devon and were impressed by the tasty food and helpful staff. The sausages were an absolute hit with our son. The cafe is about 5 minutes from the A303 and so much nicer than a service station if you are looking to break up a journey.

Lovely place to stop just off the A303 and before the enevitable traffic jam past Stonehenge, friendly quick service stopped for drinks and cake all delicious!

We enjoyed a good cup of coffee in this farm café with chickens and cockerels wandering around! The service was very good and they provided a welcome bowl of water for our dog

Lovely breakfast stop, vegan options , just off the A303. Farmyard setting with roaming chickens. Highly recommend and will visit again.

We visited here as a half way stop on our way down to Somerset. Such a delightful place which served the best sausage ciabatta I have ever had. We liked it so much that we stopped again on our return journey and enjoyed another one

We found this lovely little place on the way back from Salisbury. My partner and I ended up having 2 frappe and they were really delicious. Lovely friendly staff too.

Excellent little cafe full of tasty treats. Great breakfast with locally sourced supplies. Nice farm setting with chickens running around

This was the second time here and not disappointed. Great location just off the A303 Staff all very friendly and helpful and food was on the table quickly and a good selection of food on offer to suit everyone's taste, lots of nice sandwiches and...

Highly recommend. Just off the A303, delicious food and great service. A working farm which has hens & chicks roaming free. Fabulous!

Stopped here on the way to Longleat: friendly, beautiful and great bacon and sausage sandwiches ! Highly recommended- we will be back!

Stop over on a Sunday road trip. Just a coffee and cake stop which ended up as a pie too! Staff are amongst the politest we have every experienced in a cafe, the management should be very proud. Cakes and pies were delicious and the...

A lovely authentic farm cafe and shop. Would highly recommend their cream tea. The staff are ever so friendly and very clean toilets.

We reserved a table beforehand. Friendly staff. Quick service. Loved the chickens running around our feet. We had cooked breakfast and coffee. Very tasty and filling - good portions.

I love this place so much. The food is incredible and the best tasting bacon I have ever had. The people that work there are lovely and will go out of their way to make sure you have an excellent meal. I cannot rate the...

Have just spent a lovely couple of hours having lunch with a friend who was en route to the West country. The cafe was a convenient meeting point and although I'd passed it many times, this was the first time I'd actually been. I have...

Excellent breakfast with a good sized outside area. Good for dogs on leads and for kids. Seeing chickens running around the farmyard adds to the ambience. Going again this weekend.

I was able to reserve a table at Cholderton Farm shop cafe in advance, receiving a very prompt response on my inquiry. We ate lovely, simple foods had tea and coffees and enjoyed the sun. The polite staff worked quickly and efficiently but allowed us...

This is definitely the best farm shop that I have visited in the area. I have past hundreds of times but finally stopped for lunch with my family and was more than pleasantly surprised and regretted not stopping sooner. A Beautiful setting in rural Wiltshire...

Their goats cheese and red onion chutney on Ciabatta was divine! Honestly one of the best things I’ve ever eaten! Will be returning ASAP also still open for takeaway during Lockdown 2.0!

My wife and I stopped with our daughter and 2 grandchildren. The barn is an excellent all weather site with lovely chickens wandering and a big plus working farm vehicles passing by and right next to the farmyard. Food was excellent with a speedy service accompanied by smiling and helpful staff. Coffee was really nice.We will definitely be visiting again now that we have found this gem of a place.Thank you for providing a welcome place in which to break a journey along the A303.J Blake

I went to the Cholderton Farm Shop and Cafe on the 27/10/20 and had a Luxury Hot Chocolate and a slice of Chocolate Cake! I had a lovely visit! The Hot Chocolate was delicious and the presentation of it was beautiful. The chocolate cake, again, tasted amazing and, again, was beautifully presented. The staff were wonderful, cheery, welcoming and pleasant. Precautions had been made in regards to COVID (Social distancing, Hand sanitiser, etc) and so not only did I have a wonderful time, I also had the reassurance of a safe visit as well. I would highly recommend the Cholderton Farm Shop and Cafe as a lovely place for a delicious snack and drink! :)

I phoned ahead to book a table and explain I had previously been shielding and was still very wary. Very understandable and reassuring. Had a great time meeting 3 friends. Stayed for hours going from coffee, to lunch to cake! Lovely food, friendly staff. Entertainment from the chickens. Highly recommend

Great food and lovely people. Even brought my dog a bowl of water. Totally recommend a stop and bite to eat here.

Lovely cream teas, friendly staff, nice relaxed atmosphere. Bought some black pudding, square Brie and some wicked looking chocolate pie for later.

Had the best breakfast here and will definitely be visiting again when passing. The service from the staff was excellent and the setting beautiful.

We regularly travel on the A303 and since getting a dog had struggled to find somewhere to stop for lunch where we could walk the dog. Dogs are allowed outside the cafe when on a lead and we were able to eat a delicious and reasonably priced meal with good coffee at a table in the covered barn. The staff were very friendly and offered a bowl of water for the dog. We bought some delicious cake to take away.

Lovely home cooked food and salad, wide range of choice on the menu and a relaxed setting. Fuelling us for the journey back to Plymouth! Recommended from The Extra Mile and did not disappoint

Birthday treat, really nice local food, so nice that we bought more to take home for the rest it the family that could not be there.

This lovely little cafe/farm shop is always the one we call at when we're heading north. They serve delicious coffee, gorgeous pies, very tasty toasties (goats cheese and red onion chutney our favourite) and excellent home made soups. The atmosphere is great, with locals popping in for bread, cheese and pies (locals included squaddies from Tidworth when we last called) and hens pecking around the car park. The staff are always friendly and helpful and the loo big enough for my husband's wheelchair. We like it a lot!

I came here today for breakfast with my boyfriend (breakfast served till 2:30) and it was delicious - the best breakfast we’ve had in a long time. Staff were very welcoming and helpful - we will definitely be returning

I visited with my baby and my friend this morning got breakfast. We had 2 full English breakfasts which were delicious - plentiful portion and lovely quality. Service was fab and there was lots of lovely bits to buy too. For breakfast and 2 coffees it was just under £11 so great value.

More a small cafe than a restaurant. I had been meaning to try it out for years, and it had changed hands, so the farm shop part was tiny, but the food was lovely, and service came with a smile and a brief chat, so it was a very pleasant experience.

Was passing on our way to Weymouth just as the sign was changed to open. So turned round and headed back for a cup of tea. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The pots of tea had an easy 2 cups in each. 2 pots for less than a fiver The selection of farm products was only small but of items that I had never seen before.My wife was suffering from a bad back and the guy in the shop was very helpful with advice as he has suffered with his back in the past. Before we left , my wife was given an ice pack to try and help with the pain and stiffness during the rest of the journey. It was very much appreciated. Unfortunately when we were on the return journey my wife was sleeping, so we didn't stop. Should have woke her up. Next time maybe. Thanks again.

Just happened to be passing through this village when I spotted this farm shop & cafe, so we decided to stop for some lunch. There was a wide choice of lunches, lovely homemade selection and very tasty & plentiful. Definitely would recommend this cafe/farmshop. I would say also that the owner and staff were very understanding & accommodating with my allergies and were keen to please by offering alternatives. No complaints here. Thankyou to Colderton Farm shop & cafe

The farm visit, as always was great.

This is a lovely small farm shop and cafe on the A338 just off the A303 junction serving quality ford at good prices.Just the place to pull in and enjoy a cuppa and good food in a relaxed country enviroment, its not massive inside although there is seating outside but if you want air conditioning and cardboared food this is not for you.

A lovely place with good quality homemade food and lovely surroundings. Recommended. They have a small selection of fresh products to sell

A lovely farm cafe and a great environment for a family. The menu has a great selection of food and drinks including both hot and cold. We also couldn’t resist taking a couple of pies away with us! Would definitely recommend a visit.

Great stop off the A303. Nice outside area, kids enjoyed watching the farm vehicles move about. Lovely food and drink, really friendly staff. Huge toilet with loads of space for baby changing which is so welcome compared to the usual cramped toilets. Really great little cafe. Thanks!

While traveling between London and Glastonbury, we recently stopped by and had lunch. Not only was the food delicious, but everyone working here were so friendly. Farm fresh food cooked beautifully!

We stopped off here for some lunch during our 400 mile journey back home from a holiday in Cornwall. Really easy to find just turn off the A303 west of Thruxton/ Andover. Local farm with chickens and baby chick's meandering about made for a lovely setting. The cafe /farm shop is well stocked and its all super locally farmed produce. We had a sausage ciabbatta with onion marmelade and a breakfast meal. Both were delicious and of a real high quality. The breakfast can also be customised with extras of each or things like black pudding. Really great value for money as reasonable prices too. Lots of other choices on the menu as well. Took home 2 of their pies for our evening meal and boy were we not disappointed! Steak and ale plus Steak with blue cheese. They were both just wow (we had half each =p). Highly recommend this lovely local farm shop & Cafe, have now bookmarked this on our journey planner for when we next travel to Cornwall! Nice clean facilities with plenty of space for baby changing too. I'd choose this farm shop over the overpriced junk food you get at the motorway service stations every day of the week. Look forward to seeing you again on our next trip =)

Food - not too bad. Fair price. Quite good service. A little alarmed to see the chef had a cigarette casually behind ear. Kitchen visible from the till area.

All lovely fresh food, lots to choose from and away from traffic and noise, A real quiet place to have a bite and cuppa

Excellent day out for friends and family staff helpful and friendly. Tree walk a must to do nice bar and nice little pub short walk down the road .nice cooked breakfast.

I've just submitted a review of this place on another page, but it didn't come up as a restaurant/café. I don't want to duplicate what I've written elsewhere, except to say that this place is well worth stopping at, to enjoy excellent food in a pleasant and friendly atmosphere.

Freshly prepared food and seating area was spotless clean. Menu had plenty of choices for either a snack or full meal. Nice and strong coffee.

Usually you can guarantee a farm shop will be a delight to eat in, however, although the setting was lovely, the food was not. We ordered soup and a toasted sandwich. The soup was not great, watery and not very tasty and the toastie was greasy and oozed oil and fat. The worse thing was the price of this food, very overpriced for what it was. Maybe, we were just unlucky, judging by other reviews here, but I would hesitate to eat here again.

Requested farm shop to post two jars of honey. Items arrived safely next day. Fantastic service. Very satisfied customer!

My husband and I have been to this wonderful place quite a few times before, and this morning decided to go for brunch. So glad we did, it was as delicious as we thought it would be. We love black pudding, so great that you can add it :-) You get a good sized helping with a slice of toast under the egg...loved that, as well as a slice of toast with a delicious marmalade on the side. They serve breakfast until 2.30pm which is great and the price is also really good. All of the ladies that work here are super friendly and nothing is too much trouble, to be frank other places could learn a thing or two from their customer service. So glad we only live 20 minutes away from this little gem!

We have used the farm shop many times for a lazy Sunday breakfast reading our papers. Good quality and good service. Chickens running free range around the farm yard can be watched for hours. Lots of good quality product and produce available, plenty of parking. Only 5 mins if that from the A303 junction for Tidworth.

Started with coffee and a lovely homemade cake. Sat in the open barn in the sunshine and little chicks joined us as they ran around freely in their environment. Went back to the shop and bought a Venison Pie,Pickles and Cheeses. it was a great find and will return.

The cafe itself is small but this does not detract from the ambience of the place.

Very friendly place with tree top walk, zip wire and play parks. The best part the animals. She loved the goats mountain and feeding the rarebreeds sheep. Cafe on site but should have taken a picnic.

Great little cafe with local farm produce and lovely home made cakes, pies, sandwiches and great customer service.

This place advertises itself as a farm shop and cafe. It's really a very small cafe with a few shelves of packets, eggs, and sad looking meat. The food being eaten by a family of 4, who filled the cafe, looked good but we didn't eat here as we were looking for a farm shop to buy produce. If you are looking for a farm shop this is not the place to stop.

Stopped on the way back from an easter break in cornwall, it’s a 6 hour drive so we welcomed the rest stop.

We actually called in as I love a good farm shop and saw the sign as we drove from Bournemouth to Marlborough. The shop side is small but the cafe is fabulous. Delicous ploughmans just wish I had some cheese to go with the ham and pickle. My niece had a lovely jacket potato. We didn't intend to stop here for lunch but was really enjoyable. I also stocked up on my free range eggs at that shop!

Although the fowl area is not visitable now with all the bird flu warnings, the place has a charm to it. The sheep, the cows, the horses turn everyone's heads, and of course the little ones are enthralled. You can even feed the animals, and take a gander at a quiz to test your knowledge.

Beautiful place with beautiful things! If you are looking for something special and a little different it’s a great place to go.

Called in on our way home from holiday for breakfast. Lovely cafe and delicious food. Sausages were gorgeous.

We drove over here for lunch from Somerset to meet family who were travelling up to London from the Bournemouth area. We were greeted by hens roaming freely with their offspring and parked amongst barns and tractors so obviously a real working farm. The farm cafe is quite small but friendly and the food on offer was varied and very reasonably priced. Two of us had the sausage ciabatta which was absolutely delicious , one of us had tomato and basil soup with toast which was pronounced tasty and the fourth person chose the cream tea. There was plenty of cream and jam although he did feel that the scones were a tad on the dry side. The tea pot offered a decent amount to drink. There was a range of homemade sponges and ice cream too which finished off the lunch nicely. I bought a pie to bring away and that will be something for my husband to look forward to for dinner tomorrow!!

We stumbled across this gem, driving from London to Dorset. It was the most wonderful 'service' stop we could have found. Beautiful chickens and chicks roaming free. The food was great, there was a ladder shop with local produce and everyone was so friendly! 2 mins off the A303 and well worth a visit.

Fantastic breakfast only downside no fried bread but with the addition of black pudding I did end up over stuffed. What a great way to start a Saturday. Staff are also very friendly as are the chickens ;-)

Even better if you like free running tractors and chickens! Great ham ploughman mixed med salad, good sized tasty steak...

Stopped here for breakfast on our way to Devon - it was our son's sixth birthday and he loves breakfast...

Had lunch here a few times and always been impressed.Food was great, attractive restaurant. Child friendly

had a light lunch when visiting the farm. Nice and clean and would recommend. Lots of seating, outside as well. Display of cakes looked yummy.

Stopped by chance and had a great breakfast.. cakes looked good too. Lots of choices and good kids selections. Would recommend.

This farm shop and cafe ,has a very good reputation for their bacon and sausages,free range eggs black pudding and pies. We bought a load of food for our breakfast and agree it is well worth a visit.

We stayed not far away and decided to have breakfast on the way out. Really good value for money and lovely staff. We had stopped the day before as they were closing and no trouble opening up again for us. Highly recommended.

So lucky - as only came here because it was a convenient midway point to meet up with a friend for lunch. Its a little gem of a café with delicious home made soup and friendly staff. The only downside was that I was not heading home so couldn't buy any of their homemade pies and scotch eggs as they looked amazing

My daughter and I visited this clean but bucolic cafe on the way to another destination and ordered two sausage sandwiches (for a late breakfast!) and two coffees. The coffees arrived very promptly as did one sandwich. Unfortunately the other hadn't been ordered (though paid for). The waitress was apologetic and within a very few minutes returned with the second sandwich. Again, she was very apologetic but we reassured her that it really wasn't a problem (indeed, the coffee hadn't been started yet alone drunk!). We then enjoyed very tasty sandwiches and sat back for a few minutes. Just as we were putting on our coats the manageress (owner?) came over with a 7/8 filled loyalty card - buying two coffees next time means 1 will be free. And the thing is there will be a next time! At no point had we complained, but simply because she felt the service had fallen short of her high standards she decided to treat us. It wasn't necessary, but it made us feel valued. Well done them!

After visiting family and making our way to stonehenge, we found this Lovely Farm shop and had to stay for breakfast and coffee, the hosts are simply lovely and so so friendly and very accommodating. A real delight in a Saturday morning - come and enjoy and spend some of your hard earned cash on beautifully locally produced products.

Also trading as Ewe Tree Cafe - flyers through the door locally, advertising their breakfast menu we decided to make a special effort to visit. Asked to see their menu but they didn't have one for breakfast but offered us a full English. Very basic & drowned by tinned tomato. Sausage, Bacon, Egg, Hash Brown, baked beans and tinned tomato with toast & coffee @ £4.95. Could have played on local quality produce at additional cost but everything was on the cheap end of scale. Food was pretty chilled on cold plates. Toast was warm bread (see pic) but was replaced by double toasted bread. Not good mayo. It did feel as though breakfast service was an imposition for the staff opening up the kitchen for later in the day.Even the harvester down the road can do better at the same price. Having seen the management responses for previous reviews - don't take it personally and learn from any constructive comments rather than resorting to petty jibes.

The best sandwiches and bread I have ever eaten. The staff work so hard in here and are always friendly. If I could I would happily eat lunch here ever day of the week. The farm shop is also very good for Christmas/food gift ideas.
